Turnstile

Lots of server maintenance this weekend - if anything seems off, let me know! (There’s nobody reading this.) Anyway, I think things are working properly. Mostly, it shouldn’t affect this blog, it’s primarily my discord bots today, which I think are all operational again. So let’s have some tunes!

Turnstile, “Glow On”

You know, a mystery I never got around to really solving is whether or not Plex’s randomizer has a preference for track ones. It probably doesn’t, I probably mostly just notice when it happens as opposed to some other random track. Especially because track ones have a stronger tendency to be intros/skits/other types of non-real songs. Plus, of course, every record on here has a track one, while they’re not guaranteed to have any other tracks. That said? It sure seems like they come up more than they should. Which is just proof that I’m a big, dumb idiot.

Swingin’ Utters, “Here We Are Nowhere”

A while back, I wrote some code to pull data from Discogs for my collection to see what year albums were released for another project that I was working on. That project might still see the light of day! But I’m wondering if there’s some way I could pull data for genres. Discogs doesn’t have genre tags in their structured data, but I could scrape the band description for specific words, I suppose. It would be neat to see what percentage of my collection is, say, punk.
