Interesting.... so I plugged in the Hacker News firehose feed in Tools, Check feed now, and then it updated. So, not sure if this is a client thing on my side or something else.

Has anyone noticed that the Hacker News firehouse hasn't been updated in 11 hours? Seems odd.

With today's Supreme Court, we live in a monarchy. We did actually fight and win a revolution to depose a monarch, resulting in the Constitution and our previous form of government.

Phil Collins Talks About How He Came With His Iconic Drum Fill on ‘In the Air Tonight’

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 19:33:25 GMT

Legendary musician Phil Collins sat down with the great Dan Rather in 2016 to discuss, among other things, Collin’s iconic drum fill on his 1981 hit song “In the Air Tonight”.

Phil Collins talks with Dan Rather about his first solo hit single, “In The Air Tonight,” a track that’s received revitalized attention in pop culture in recent years, largely due to its iconic drum solo.

Collins explained that the inspiration for the fill came to him after playing drums on the Peter Gabriel song “Intruder” in 1980.

there was a studio in London called The Townhouse which had this stone room and that’s where I’d recorded with Peter Gabriel …he invited me to play on some tracks on that album…there was a song called “Intruder” on that which was basically my drum part…I fell in love with the engineer who got the sound so when I did my solo album I … got together with him.

Collins stated that he wanted the drums to really stand out in the song. He used the analogy of a Facehugger to describe what he envisioned.

When we came to mix it we know we really went to town on it and it was my album so the drums could be as loud as I wanted …you’re kind of lulling people in drawing people in and then suddenly punching him in the face with this. We used to call it the Facehugger sound.

Here’s the iconic music video for the song.

Here’s the Peter Gabriel song that features Collins’ drumming.

It might be strange, but I subscribe to the feeds of my own blogs so I see how they look. Now that my Drummer blog feed is at a new URL I went to my feed list and clicked on the entry for that blog expecting to be able to change the URL, but I cannot. All I could do is unsubscribe.

I don't know how it would be possible to do this, but I wish there was a way for FeedLand to track the number of items from a particular feed that I actually read. If I had these personal stats I would know over time what feeds to keep and which to get rid of.

Would it be possible to add Drummer's expand/collapse keyboard shortcut, Cmd+, to the My Feed List page?

If I select block background updates to my feedlist page, I assume that means I need to do a browser refresh to see updates to the page.

I like how FeedLand handles titleless feeds by not creating a title if one does not exist. It’s different than River5, which takes the content of a titleless feed and makes it boldface. FeedLand just renders content as content with a normal font face.

I see the FeedLand community feed, which looks like a polling / integration of everyone's personal feed. What else could be done with my personal feed? Still wishing for a publishing switchboard in which at the time I write something I could designed where else (my blog, Twitter, Mastodon, etc..) will that item be published.

Added the Artemis blog RSS feed to FeedLand. When I learn about a new site/blog that I want to follow, the first thing that I look for is whether it has an RSS feed. Is a blog a blog without an RSS feed?

I need more sports feeds.

FeedLand now has a way to provide direct links to articles. Just click the little document icon below each item.

Something is wonky about the Engadget feed, so I unsubscribed.

I thought maybe when one clicks "like" to a feed item that like would get added to this feed, but apparently it does not. So right now, I don't see a way to use this as a linkblog feed like I do with my Radio3 feed.

There is an error in the instructions for using this feed, the menu option is "Edit my feed" not "My feed".

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 15:01:08 GMT

So, I think the idea here is to post items here like I would on Twitter.
