That’s a very entertaining talk about mining and analyzing radio station playlists: https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-radiomining-playlist-scraping-und-analyse It’s in German, not sure how good the English translation or subtitles are.
#Menestrel é uma nova tag mensal para celebrar a música em suas formas mais conceituais: os álbuns. E para abrir com chave de ouro, estreia-se com o tema #debut - que mais?
É suposto ser sobre “os primeiros trabalhos de seus artistas favoritos”, mas eu quis não só escolher isso, como também um album que, lá por ser o debut da banda, não deixa de mostrar o melhor que a banda tem para oferecer.
Não é que os álbums que se seguem na discografia de Ashram sejam menos excelentes que este “Ashram” (sim, é um self-titled - e quem sabe se #selftitled não é um tema de um próximo menestrel…), mas este, lá por ser o primeiro, não fica nada atrás em excelência… e é provavelmente o que eu ouço mais vezes, talvez por ser também o álbum com o qual conheci a banda - e o único que tinha para ouvir até sair o próximo…
Na foto mostro o album na sua re-edição em digipak (limitada a 1000 unidades), com a qual substitui a edição original em jewel case, porque esta tem uma faixa extra (Fourth).
Uma edição mais recente (de 2013) também com esta faixa ainda existe em stock na editora*, aproveitem!
Mas que é isso, Ashram? Bem, Ashram é um trio Italiano de música neoclássica, e em vez de os descrever… ouçam! O disco começa assim:

Thank you for the encouragement and love and kind words, @lyse @movq @bender @doesnm and others along the way I'm not sure of their feed uris 💕 I'll keep at it, but for the time being I will keep my distance, mostly off IRC, because I don't have the energy to spare in that kind of engagement (what//if the worst happens, it's so draining). I need to remember what I ever did any of this for, it was back in ~2020 and I wanted really to build small interconnected communities that any non "tech savvy" person (more or less) could also benefit from ane enjoy. Even if there are aspects of the specs we've built/extended over time that aren't "perfect"™, they're "good enough"™ that they've last 5+ years (I believe this is 6 years running now). I want to spend a bit of time going back to why I did any of this in the the first place, and get a little micro-SaaS offering going (barely covering running costs) so encourage more folks to run pods, and thus twtxt feeds and grow the community ever so slightly. Other than that, I plan to get the specs "in order" to a point (with @movq and @lyse's help) where I hope they'll stand the test of time -- like SMTP.
