Yeah I agree. I don't remember the first time I watched one of his videos but I know I thought it was refreshing.

 

If you like thoughtful and well spoken people you'll probably enjoy this YouTube channel.

I have some not so promising news...

 

https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/edgar-allan-poe/poetry

This is a collection of poetry that is free to download and own. Check your local public domain laws to verify. Enjoy!

"Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most celebrated of American poets. His early work is firmly rooted in the Romanticist tradition, but he quickly found fertile ground in Gothic horror, leading to such renowned poems as “The Raven,” “Lenore,” “Tamerlane,” “The Bells,” “Annabel Lee,” “Eulalie,” and many more."

"Collected here is all of Poe’s completed poetry in the public domain, in chronological order of writing. Where poems were originally collected into a single volume and individual writing dates are not available, volume ordering has been preserved."

The area immediately before your hand is also really good at letting you know the time.

If money was no object: Las Vegas!

I'd play all the games for free and win all the money. I'd become a millionaire in a week. :)

"Back in June of 2020, Rhythm Lab Radio asked Adrian Younge to do a Jazz is Dead Takeover. This special event aligned with the launch of their groundbreaking series Jazz Is Dead 001, a compilation showcasing collaborations with legendary artists like Roy Ayers, Gary Bartz, Azymuth, Marcos Valle, João Donato, Doug Carn, and Brian Jackson.

Founded in 2017 by Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Andrew Lojero, and Adam Block, Jazz Is Dead represents a global movement dedicated to preserving and evolving jazz through community and culture.

Operating from Younge's Linear Labs studio, the team employs strictly analog recording techniques and live instrumentation. Their distinctive sound features rugged drumming, lumbering bass lines, and abstract keyboard harmonies.

Through Jazz Is Dead, Younge and Muhammad continue bridging generations of jazz musicians, working with luminaries like Roy Ayers, Lonnie Liston Smith, Gary Bartz, Jean Carne, Marcos Valle, and Tony Allen."

Here is some classic science fiction. Again, this version is in the public domain and free to download and own. Check your local laws to verify. Enjoy!

"The Time Machine is the novel that gave us the concept of—and even the word for—a “time machine.” While it’s not Wells’ first story involving time travel, it is the one that most fully fleshes out the concept of a device that can send a person backwards and forwards in time with complete precision. Time machines have since become a staple of the science fiction and fantasy genres, making The Time Machine one of the most deeply influential science fiction novels of the era."

 

I was looking around and found these two that I think look good.

I like the icon and the color because it stands out.

I also like this icon and the depth with the "shadow".

Does anyone else have any recommendations?

Just sharing another book. Enjoy!

"Against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, five aristocratic families in Russia are transformed by the vagaries of life, by war, and by the intersection of their lives with each other. Hundreds of characters populate War and Peace, many of them historical persons, including Napoleon and Tsar Alexander I, and all of them come to life under Tolstoy’s deft hand."

https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/jack-london/the-call-of-the-wild

I'm sharing an ebook that is in the public domain. This particular ebook is free to download and own. There are multiple formats available. Enjoy.

"Jack London spent nearly a year in Alaska and the Klondike, mining for gold and braving the Alaskan winter. There he was inspired to write what would become The Call of the Wild, one of his most famous novels. The Call of the Wild tells the tale of a domesticated dog stolen from his California family and sold to sledders in Alaska. As he adapts to the harsh and wild environment, he slowly sheds domestication and returns to his primal roots"

"Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven effort to produce a collection of high quality, carefully formatted, accessible, open source, and free public domain ebooks that meet or exceed the quality of commercially produced ebooks. The text and cover art in our ebooks are already believed to be in the U.S. public domain, and Standard Ebooks dedicates its own work to the public domain, thus releasing the entirety of each ebook file into the public domain. All the ebooks we produce are distributed free of cost and free of U.S. copyright restrictions."

 

Just sharing this video of an "old man" sharing what he read in Feburary. He gives a brief synopsis of each book without any extraneous fluf. Enjoy.

Rhythm Lab Radio 2.7.25 (www.mixcloud.com)
submitted 1 week ago by fujiwood to c/music
 

"Hosted by Tarik Moody from 88Nine Radio Milwaukee, Rhythm Lab Radio redefines the urban sound with a mix of jazz, electronic, hip-hop, and soul music. Each week, Rhythm Lab Radio introduces listeners to new artists that are testing boundaries and making music that does not fit neatly into a single box."

I've "discovered" a lot of different artist through these playlists. I just wanted to share this in case anyone is interested in expanding what they listen to. Enjoy.

 

Just a video of a person sharing his favorite 77 books.
