  • I did return to my old flac and mp3 collection. Got Foobar working again, found a nice skin and I’m rediscovering music that I that skipped over. I buy second-hand CDs when I find them. I’ve managed to get a digital copy of all my favourite albums and tracks.

    I will keep Spotify though. A long time ago, I got friends to share their Discovery and Release Radar playlists. With my own, I have a nice spread of recommendations.

    I need regular new music. Call it a search for unexpected dopamine. Spotify still picks new tracks that I really like. I also like Spotify Connect and the easily shared collaborative playlists.

    The UK has less alternatives for music discovery. I don’t like Radio, way too much talking and ads.

    I’ve got rid of Netflix, Prime. I’m getting Disney+ for free at the moment. Back to physical for film and TV.

    For now, Spotify recommendations is worth the cost of entry.


  • It’s not something I’d normally watch. Enough depressing things going on in the real world, without mixing in fiction.

    However, I did binge it all in one session. Great acting. But the whole thing was a brutal experience.

    Aside from the main story line, reminded me of how horrible school can be. I sometimes wake up in the mornings and think: “Yes, I get to go to work, and not school!”

    So if you really enjoy a good misery drama (and that’s not me being judgemental, I just can’t think of a better way of classifying it.) Then I’d recommended it.
