  1. Am I just now realizing, two Cantos later, after looking up who the "Queen of everlasting lamentation" refers to (Persephone, duh, who else could it possibly be..), that the Pluto we met earlier is Hades, THE HADES (husband/kidnapper to Persephone).

    I can't for the life of me internalize the roman names.

  2. Reading the divine comedy...now what the hell is a fen? What do you mean there are fens, bogs and marshes? I just knew swamps.

    It turns out hell, or at least the 4th (5th?) circle of hell, is alkaline, who would've thought.

  7. Got started with The Divine Comedy after only getting halfway through The Aeneid. I wanted to read the Aeneid to better understand The Comedy, but I guess it will work the other way around. It will help as motivation to get back to the Aeneid afterwards to catch any missed references :BlobhajBlanketSlate:

    So has it been fated by the reading gods.

  8. Standouts from #AadamJacobsCollection

    A ferocious #Nirvana set

    #thedbs introduced themselves to me, showing off their covers chops, along with the originals

    a very popular #Television tape, with 13 minutes worth of Marquee Moon

    currently tuning in to #TheDivineComedy (not Dante's--Neil Hannon, a bit of a Rufus Wainwright spiritual ancestor) Interesting to hear trio format, rather than horns and strings backing.

    In my queue: #Pavement #Spoon #MedeskiMartinWood #AnimalCollective

  9. I realised that I've not really properly listened to any Divine Comedy albums after Regeneration (you know, the one where Neil Hannon tried to be something he's not, semi-disastrously). So, what better thing to do on Good Friday than catch up with several albums of back catalogue?

    So far, it's quite impressive: it's still the case that every album has at least one track that makes me cry spontaneously (*two* on Bang Goes the Knighthood) *and* also at least one incisively witty track [although few as *angry* as The Complete Banker, also from the above album].
    (I do cry easily from some triggers, but Hannon seems particularly good at this.)

  10. G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 1/12/26

  11. The Bern album is a double CD thing that he released independently (in Canada?) shortly after his major label debut album. Some of his great early songs, including a few songs that went on to be re-recorded better with #AniDifranco on his next album Fifty Eggs.

    The Divine Comedy album is definitely short, but among my favorites of Neil Hannon’s. No fat on it.

  13. "Achilles", première chanson de "Rainy Sunday Afternoon", du groupe The Divine Comedy, album sorti en septembre. Ça me donne bien envie de découvrir le reste !

  14. For all you Philip Glass and Steve Reich fans, this song is delightful.

  15. #SteamNextFest is over, but I found two demos yesterday I really liked and wanted to shout out, starting with the beautiful #HellMaiden. Just watch this video. #AstralShift's games have this incredible hand-drawn animation style, and seeing #Virgil, #Ovid, and Dante as anime girls is strange and charming.

  16. G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up - 2/13/25

    I cut off an album from The Divine Comedy 3 tracks in due to it being straight trash.

    Favorite Videos include aespa performing an f(X) cover, SASAMI live at 3voor12 Radio, and more!

  17. Colis (2) du jour, bonjour ! Mais pas de colis américain.

    - #MouseOnMars • Peel Sessions
    - #Various • Too Pure Peel Sessions (avec #Stereolab, #ThFaithHealers et #PJHarvey, une énième copie, je suis un être faible)
    - #Quickspace • Quickspace Happy Song #1, handmade artwork
    - #TheDivineComedy, #AHouse, #TheFrankAndWalters, split 7"

    ouais, ouais, ouais, je vous vois me juger, mais m'en fous, l'odeur du vinyle, il n'y a que ça de vrai !

    PS: j'avais oublié la photo

  18. Hallo und guten Tag, ich bin auf dieser Instanz #NeuHier. Ich bin zwar nicht von meinem “Heimatserver” berlin.social weggezogen (dort drüben bin ich als @FrauBluecher unterwegs), habe aber vor, hier einen Schrebergarten für Gelaber über Musik und Literatur einzurichten, welches dann doch mehr als 500 Zeichen pro Post benötigt. Dafür wird mein mangels Interaktion brach liegender Wordpress-Blog schlafen gelegt.

    Den ständigen Empörungsmodus von Twitter möchte ich hier definitiv nicht weiter pflegen, deshalb tröte ich seit meinem Umzug zu Mastodon bewusst unpolitisch − und sehr viel entspannter. Gute Musik, horrible und fantastische Literatur und Handygeknipse sind bislang meine Themen, und meine Nerven danken es mir. Auch aus diesem Grund werden Leerdenker & Co. ohne weitere Diskussion geblockt, sobald sie sich zu erkennen geben, ich habe keinen Bedarf, Lebenszeit mit sinnlosen Diskussionen zu verschwenden.

    Hello and good day, I am #NewHere on this instance. I haven't moved away from my "home server" berlin.social (over there I'm @FrauBluecher), but I'm planning to set up an allotment here for banter about music and literature that requires more than 500 characters per post. In exchange, my Wordpress blog, which is lying dormant for lack of interaction, will be put to sleep.

    I definitely don't want to continue the constant outrage mode of Twitter here, so since moving to Mastodon, I've been deliberately tooting non-politically - and much more relaxed. Good music, horror and scifi literature and mobile phone photography have been my main topics so far, and my nerves thank me for it. Also for this reason, "empty thinkers" aka covidiots, right-winger & co. are blocked without further discussion as soon as they make themselves known; I have no need to waste life time with pointless discussions.

    Extra viel Liebe für / extra love for:
