  • Skype UI note: "The largest bar in the volume icon is an exclamation mark." http://t.co/Hl32qyRra9 (via @littlebigdetail) ->

  • There's only one song by Souled American on Rdio. ->
  • LPs that melted your brain upon release and, decades later, you play on repeat while cooking all Sunday long: Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation. ->

  • And my Aphex Twin book for 33 1/3 (on the album Selected Ambient Works Volume II) comes out one month from today. ->
  • Thanks, @citylightsbooks, for hosting the March 20 reading/concert in San Francisco for my Aphex Twin 33 1/3 book: http://t.co/rcc4SRjBAW ->
  • 2,991 tracks in Disquiet Junto in past 2 years and 2 weeks. Wonder if we'll hit 3K when current project ends tonite: https://t.co/RG5yL7CI2z ->
  • I'm interviewing Prefuse 73 in half an hour. If you have questions for him, lemme know. ->
  • Prefuse 73 says it refers to the sound of fusion jazz prior to 1973 (starting around 1968). RT @nynexrepublic: @disquiet why that number? ->
  • Judging by my Twitter page, staff got back from lunch and posted a redesign of the website, which it is now slowly tweaking in real time. ->
  • Helix: You come for the science fiction; you stay for the Arctic research-station room tones. ->
  • Still likes to think that the new version of WordPress is named after the Donald Westlake / Richard Stark character. ->
  • On Almost Human, it seems like the suspects are always listening to ambient music and the cops are always listening to EDM in their cars. ->
  • MOMA and SFMOMA are expanding at the same time and they'll join somewhere in the midwest at a golden spike made by Jeff Koons. ->
  • RIP, jazz guitarist Ronny Jordan (51): http://t.co/OnYlRX3tNo. Here's one of his team-ups with DJ Krush: http://t.co/LqYiO3jcBu ->
  • Tuesday noon siren in San Francisco: http://t.co/FrVmKgO1Mx ->
  • Of course Bruce Springsteen's music was in a Good Wife episode this past weekend about an ethically challenged (albeit Illinois) governor. ->
  • Hopeful that @SoundCloud technical issues are solved by tomorrow, but pondering stopgap @djunto options (e.g., Disquiet-post comment links). ->
  • I love my Nexus 7 but Google must get the accessories gears churning. There's nothing for the N7 close to Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio. ->
  • If you participate in the Disquiet Junto, try the SoundCloud URL ( http://t.co/3Vl0MYqdZd ) and lemme know if it's coming up for you. Thanks. ->
  • If SoundCloud's tech issues continue tomorrow we may experiment with posting the next project as embeds/links in comments on a Disquiet post ->
  • Thanks for the quick replies folks. On my Mac the SoundCloud URL works OK on Safari, just not my default browser (Chrome). #patience ->
  • "This webpage has a redirect loop." Been getting major conflicts between Google accounts lately. ->
  • "It is an auditory 3-D sculpture." That description of pop-music recording isn't from Brian Eno. It's Sandra Boynton: http://t.co/TPqOQR4ZGc ->
  • Amazon's market-bots are quite insistent that I purchase a copy of my own 33 1/3 book. ->
  • Even more depressing than the Professor dying is the radio broadcasters feeling the need to explain what Gilligan's Island was. ->

  • Tomorrow is January 17, the 308th birthday of Benjamin Franklin, whose Junto club, formed when he was 21, lent its name to the @djunto. ->
  • I vote they make 10 spinoffs of Arrow and rename the network the DCW. ->
  • Happy birthday, Benjamin Franklin. You weren't a model father, but I can't think of a founding father more relevant or inspiring today. ->
  • Hopeful. I set up that four-digit project numbering for a reason. RT @jonautry: @disquiet #junto4evr in reply to jonautry ->
  • Mail.app (OS X) now in doghouse. Was so good until Mavericks. Giving MailMate a try. ->

  • Whoa, that massive Amon Tobin box set sold out. Glad I got a copy. ->
