Turn on the Tunes

Yesterday was Bandcamp Friday, when musicians who sell their music on Bandcamp keep a higher percentage of the proceeds, so I spent a few minutes browsing and bought a couple albums by (previously unknown to me) Jill Tracy. One is piano-only, and the other has vocals and other instruments. I'll put links in case you're interested.

(Side note: I just previewed this page to see if the pictures were playing nicely together, and the mobile version of this layout is kind of terrible. Does anyone read this blog on their phone? Should I make the effort to fix it?)

I don't listen to music as much as I used to. There was a time I almost always had something playing, and for a long time I often had instrumental music in the background while I was writing. These days it never occurs to me to listen to anything. Is that because there are too many other distractions that I'd need to mute my music for? I don't know. But I think I'd like to get back to listening to more music.

Rant of the Day

It looks like there won't be a third season of Annika, which absolutely sucks. To put it in perspective, Annika is probably the first show since Elementary that really caught my full attention. Why can't we have nice things?

This is Frito, one of the snack pack. She only has one little rag to sleep on... (Cue Sarah McLachlan tune) Won't you donate to help poor little Frito?

(There's not supposed to be a rag on the floor. That was one of the pile I keep on my desk for emergency uses. But I walked out of the room and left my chair too close to the desk, so the entire Snack Pack got up there to explore. Frito also wrote this message on my writing-group Slack: "7787777flo'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''+")
