I found this old Ask Metafilter comment from 2007. While the thread does not quite match my situation, the Ask Culture/Guess Culture model seems spot on. (I am Guess Culture.)

It was remarkably hard to fully answer some of my eldest's #eurovision questions, such as:
- why is that man wearing a yellow raincoat with no shirt or jumper underneath?
- why are they standing on top of a lake?
- why is he lying down while he plays the guitar?
- how can they see where they are going when they are dressed as wolves and bananas?
@wjt Com'è appropriato, ti arrampichi come una mucca!
It's come to my attention that there is a bouldering centre in Rome called Monkey Island, so now I need to learn to climb and speak Italian, then relocate

Erstwhile Endlesser Geri Vahey drumming with The Seagulls, all the way from SF to Soho!
What I'm listening to today: "Mutable Instruments Rings triggered by drums"
This is a drum solo with a physical trigger on the bass drum so every time the bass drum hits it advances a sequence on a modular synthesizer. In other words the drummer controls the entire piece, the synth conforms its tempo to the drumming and when the drummer starts switching the rhythm up the music adjusts to it in a really natural way. Technically interesting, but also an incredible mood!
Computational dadfluencer, lapsed musician. Endless OS Foundation-er but don't expect too much work chat. I once worked in “film” and it was weird.
