A cyclist on a gravel road at dawn with a misty river in the distance
I am visiting Minnesota for a week. Yesterday was the culmination of my year-long bicycle training and my brother and I rode The DAMn - the day across Minnesota gravel bike race. Starting on the South Dakota border at midnight, Aug 1st we had 24 hours to get across the Wisconsin border on a set course consisting of 80% gravel roads through river bottoms and expansive ag fields.

wjcstp pro 14 hours ago
DAMn that's some serious riding, hope it all went smoothly and you're getting some good rest today. I've done many gravel rides, but the longest was just over half of the DAMn, and nothing at all recently. I'm out for a much shorter and easier ride around Mpls today.
samh pro 14 hours ago
It was awesome getting to explore a part of MN that I've not really spent much time in, @wjcstp. The Minnesota River valley is gorgeous and I had the pleasure of being down in there at misty sunrise. And your bicycling community eats sleeps and breathes "Minnesota Nice" really well. Didn't hurt they offer up a cold pint of Spotted Cow at the finish line too.

I had to look it up... the 2024 event was 240 miles long. So, an average of 10 mph for 24 hours.

That's a beast. Congratulations!

A dull evening with a lavender sky. A small tree trunk with a few bare branches sits in the middle of a grassy slope. Two traffic lights are precariously fixed to the tree. One, facing the viewer, is showing yellow. The second, facing left, casts a red beam through a slight fog. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

some new-old (old-new?) music next week

something coming down the pipeline, thought i’d let MLTSHP know about it first.

a few months ago, when i moved to a new laptop, i found an intriguing session bounce, labeled only “windmills - nick - acoustic”.

it turned out to be a long, uncut stereo recording of me in 2015, noodling through some song ideas for the windmills drummer while we took a break from recording a full band track. (photographic evidence above; i lulled him to sleep)

in between the noodling, the rambling, and the joking, there were a few songs i played all the way through in somewhat-coherent form. they were rough, but at least somewhat complete, so i thought “why not release ‘em?"

god bless my friend dereck, who engineered the original sessions. (https://www.quiethouserecording.com/) he not only found the original session files in his archives, but he was able to extract them, do some basic mixing/mastering, and turn them into usable tracks in less than an hour. bless him, he’s too good.

so! next week, probably on the next bandcamp friday, i’ll release a few scruffy tracks. listen for free, pay a few bucks for a download if you like ‘em. i’ll consider it motivation to work on new music, which i’ve been kind of missing (and lightly dabbling with again) lately.

will post when they’re out in the wild, but you can keep an eye on my page if you like:

This is kind of random, but what is a session bounce?
There is a line in one of Tierra Whack’s new songs where she says “Heard your check bounced like this session file” which seems related. I tried to look it up, but am not sure what I’m looking for.
nikkuneko pro 11 hours ago
hmm, actually, let me rewrite that explanation a little more clearly now that i'm in front of a keyboard.
nikkuneko pro 11 hours ago
@robotmachine in modern recording, either analog or digital, you are usually recording multiple components in a session, each one as its own distinct “track” on the tape or session file. (i.e. you have a track for the guitar mic, a track for the vocal mic, a track for a bass, etc, etc)

you can play the entirety of the tracks within your recording setup, but when you want to play them elsewhere, you need to reduce or "bounce" all of those tracks down into a single stereo track. usually a bounce is done when all the recording and mixing is finished so the track can be handed off for final mastering and release, but it can sometimes be made just to listen to what you've recorded so far on an ipod or home stereo.
robotmachine pro 11 hours ago
@nikkuneko thank you! I was really curious and it was strange that I couldn’t find a straight forward explanation. This is perfect.

Looking forward to hearing this, btw. :)

I went to help people with tech at the Repair Fair today, It was in Brookfiend Vermont (pop. 900-ish), one town over from where I live which has as its claim to fame, a floating bridge. The event was at the local town hall building which has been lovingly restored including a painted theater curtain which has a view of the floating bridge. I brought my friend Matt and HE brought his 3D printer. Not a lot of people needed tech help but a lot of people had questions about the 3D printer. The whole time I was thinking "Damn, I really should have brought my mending"

Is that the Edmund Fitzgerald?
Mr_Encyclopedia pro 16 hours ago
I have to admit it does look bigger than most big freighters.
Davezilla pro 15 hours ago
@jer Tis! Good eye.
Davezilla pro 15 hours ago
@Mr_Encyclopedia It was 730 feet (222.5 m) long, 75 feet (22.9 m) wide, and with a 25-foot (7.6 m) draft. At the time (1975), it was the largest ship ever to work the Great Lakes.

When people who have never seen how massive the Great Lakes are, the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck is a great way to explain them. It was 17 miles (27km) out when hurricane force winds hit, with 35 foot waves (11m) hit. It sank at a depth of 160 meters (530 feet), which is nowhere near the depth of Lake Superior which has a depth of 1,330 feet (406m) and covers an area the size of Austria or South Carolina.
