Here is Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chavarri del Castillo, also known as Yma Sumac with Gopher Mambo. Nobody had a voice (or vocal command) quite like hers.

To me it sounds a bit like Jeff Lynne's voice, but singing with the Beach Boys. 🙂

Those seem out of order somehow.

Question for tech server peers who are reading: Any thoughts on active defense? I know that it's likely a zero-sum game, but I do tire of the constant barrage of poking for .SQL, .git, .vscode, .zip etc. files on my servers. Should I just continue to block and ignore? Or should I reward them with some sort of infinite-size quine ZIP file when it's an obviously malicious request? My guess is that most of these people are not very sophisticated, so messing up their day might help make mine.

Some of the best blues ever recorded came from this guy (and his wife, who sometimes had to remind him of the lyrics while they were recording).

New flash: If you're a "Christian" who invokes OT law, or who tries to impose it on others, then you have blatantly missed the teachings of your own holy book.

If you're a "Christian" who rails-against any group of people (immigrants, homosexuals, transgenders, Muslims, democrats, you-name-it) then you've turned your back on the two main commands from the man you follow.

Question your secret, undeclared apostasy.

Because the rest of us can plainly see it.

A confession: I love ELO. I love Jeff Lynne. So this is my #elophilia music week. Only I'm not gonna play any actual ELO. Just stuff that teases my cilia into ELO-adjacent sympathetic resonance.

To kick it off, here is L.E.O. with Distracted (from the album Alpacas Orgling)

Not music, but these are fun/interesting to experience (remember: use headphones/buds, not speakers):

Day 7 of #binaural music week.

(Remember: You MUST listen to this with headphones to get any binaural effect.)

Here is Matt Sucich playing “My Only Problem With You” as recorded at The Cathedral of Junk in Austin, TX. A fun listen AND also fun to watch.

From the album actually called "Binaural" here is Pearl Jam with Thin Air (to be fair, I suspect that only portions of this album were actually recorded using the binaural technique, but this song is still nice and reminds me how much I miss some of the grunge acts)

I say to use caution because I had it turned up to a pretty high volume, and then a browser notification popped-up from my task management system, and the sound from it nearly knocked me out of my chair. Protect your hearing. 🙂

Here is a cut from Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances (Lento assai; Allegro vivace) by the Pasadena Symphony and conducted by Jorge Mester. If your headphones can handle it, this is a rewarding album. Caution: Be wary of the dynamic range here.
