A slight change to the format in this week’s digest. I’m going embed more Tweets and other content (like from IMDb) going forward. Making it an actual review of stuff I’ve posted to Twitter and elsewhere each week.

Five article pointers this week. I had to drop a few that were going to be included but are behind paywalls. There are also 19 new music releases. Another good week for new stuff. Like most weeks! Find me on Twitter to discuss anything. Except for temperature measurement scales ☺️

Ian Robinson’s New Music Digest – 25th July 2021

You may have noticed that my weekly posts have been focused mostly on new music releases over the last few months. Indeed, the posts have been new music lists with some other article pointers attached.

I’ve decided to embrace that, do a pivot, and make this weekly post just a list of new music, with linked Apple Music and Spotify playlists for the singles, plus a selected track from each EP and album in the list.

The other non-music related stuff I’m going to start posting as link posts on my blog (like the posts on Daring Fireball) and Hey World. You can see my blog here, and if you use RSS, you can subscribe here. If you still want to get the weekly post and the single item link-style posts via email, then subscribe at Hey World. There is also an RSS feed at Hey World. The music list and the individual posts will also be on my Twitter feed.

Ian Robinson’s Weekly Digest – 18th July 2021

A sparse post this week. Mainly due to me being busy and it being too hot to read and think about technical stuff! Only three pointers to interesting items. A dozen new music items, though. I’m never too busy or too hot to ignore new music. As always, find me on Twitter if you want to comment on anything.

Ian Robinson’s Weekly Digest 27th June 2021

2000 star systems could have planets that could see Earth pass in from of the Sun

Here’s the 27th June edition of my weekly post. Half the year is gone already! I’ve lost track of time. Days, weeks, and months have all melded into one thing in my head. Anyway, I’m planning on starting to go back to the cinema and do other things out in the world from the 1st of July. So future weekly posts should start to get mini film reviews and stuff again from next weeks.

This week’s post has six article pointers and seven new music releases. As usual, you can get me on Twitter to discuss anything in this post.
