  1. @mhoye I fill out my #vinyl with #SecondHand #records. One day I was talking to the owner (Outdoor market record store) if he had a copy of Dexter’s first album from the #FlatDuoJets? He didn’t and the talk went to Australian Rock-A-Billy and the fact that in the 70s Dutch tourists scooped up all the records of Australian vinyl; Meaning there are none left. Limited market and the fact they were never re-pressed and as rare as hens teeth.

    Scoop ‘em up, take a listen and find out the history of the #discs.

  2. 2/ 🌌 Normally, water dominates the inner regions of such planet-forming #discs, where Earth-like planets may emerge. This finding shows that strong #ultraviolet radiation in massive star-forming regions can also drastically alter disc chemistry, and thus the building blocks of future #planets.

  3. 1/ 🌌 A twist in planet formation: Protoplanetary #discs aren’t flat. 🪐

    A recent study led by Andrew Winter from #MPIA and the Queen Mary University of London #QMUL shows many discs are slightly warped instead of being highly symmetrical.

  5. Ólafur Arnalds // Re:member // Le londonien installé à Vienne Sohn (aka Christopher Taylor) prête sa voix à Unfold pour des mélopées enlacées de violons à la Michael Nyman, dont l'ombre plane sur cet album très atmosphérique, envoutant comme un brouillard.

  6. #Sony announced the discontinuation of recordable "Blu-ray" #discs by February 2023, citing a consumer shift towards digital storage and viewing. Although the decision does not currently include "#PlayStation 5" #game discs or movies, it marks the beginning of the end of physical media, as happened with videotapes and cassettes. This decision came after a #historic competition between Sony and Toshiba at the turn of the millennium; the "#Blu_ray" format (supported by #Hollywood and PlayStation 3) surpassed its rival "#HD #DVD" from Toshiba in 2008 thanks to its larger storage capacity (50 GB).
    Today, the shutdown of "Blu-ray" reflects a radical shift in content consumption towards online streaming and cloud storage, concluding an important chapter in the history of #technology, announcing the beginning of a new digital era, following the path of previous technologies that have become a thing of the past.

  8. With low audio and video bitrates on #streaming and #discs disappearing, are we entering the era of bitcrushed #art?

  9. Someday humans will have the technology to fit the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica and the entire works of Shakespeare onto one single disc.

    Image the possibilities then!
