I’ve started a new blog to collect together photos from J-pop videos.

African Disco, Funk, Etc. – XMas 2020
August 28th, 2021
Been meaning to share this for ages, but anyway, here’s a little compilation I made for Christmas pressies.
I wanted it to be more diverse, but turns out most of the stuff I like comes from Ghana and Nigeria.
SVGs for printing the cover are included. Tags might be fucked. I’ve been moving from Foobar2000 to Quod Libet, so the music library’s a bit of a mess at the moment.
Track list:
- Only You, Steve Monite
- Enjoy Your Life, Oby Onyioha
- You’re My Solution, Eric Kol
- Living Everyday, Tee Mac
- Sweeper Soul, Super Mambo 69
- Talking About Music, Nana Love
- Groove I Like, Veno
- We Can Move, Free Youth
- Disco Dancer, Kiki Gyan

native-land.ca
September 14th, 2020Native Land is an online map of Indigenous territories, language groups, and treaties.
I remember seeing this a couple of years ago, but since then they’ve added Australian locations. This’s something I’d wanted to do myself using Open Street Map, but hey!, here it is already.

July 31st, 2020I forgot to mention that I salvaged what I could of my old music blog, after the Tumblr mistake, and put it up at musuc.ryliejamesthomas.net.
It’s using a blogging tool called TextPattern, which I’d never used before, but I like it a lot more than WordPress. Feels really simple, gotta get your hands in and customise it, nice and DIY. More work (and the reason I took so long to mention it is that I wanted to get it setup right), but not to hard to tailor it to what you want to use it for.
I’ve been thinking about tying it to a wiki—either its own or my regular one—so artists and songs would have pages with bits of other info.—or even making it entirely wiki-based. But happy enough with it as it is now.
