Now that is a hard one. I love both but going with roses.

Sigh. Another one of the greats is gone. Gordon Lightfoot, the pride of Orillia, Ontario and one of the best songwriters of his generation, has died at 84. What a career. I have been listening to a compilation of his first four albums and there's deep cuts that I had forgotten about that are easily as good as the hits.

So sorry to hear of his demise. This was always a great favourite of mine.

Altitude

I'm a little confused Meagananne. How did you get Altitude from Rhythmic?

We do have dark mode if that would help you. I know it says that it's still being sorted, but it works for most places on site now.

Click your mini avatar on the right, settings, and it's at the bottom.

Thank you, Molly. Yes, I have tried that, but white text on a black background is as bad only in the opposite way. It is too dark. As Mendalla suggested, the white is too bright and I find the green too pale to bring the overall intensity down to a comfortable level. The previous colouring was more bearable.

Quote by Mendalla

Interesting. I actually find the new accent colour more muted than the blue. There's maybe a bit too much white background now (or maybe a brighter white??). Wonder if that's what's making it bright rather than the new accent colour.

That could be true. However, the green doesn't contrast enough with the white to reduce the overall glare. For me, at least.

You also have the option to recall your submission if it is not yet assigned to mod. I cannot be the only person to find an error the moment I submit my story. This way you will be able to remove it and fix the issue and resubmit without having to wait on a Mod for help.

This is great news, Molly. As you know, there are times when I have done just that. It must take a load off the mods too. 👌😊

I can't say I like the new colour. Purely my opinion, but for me, it is too harsh, too bright. I liked the blue far better. Way more relaxing. It actually hurts my eyes on a 21" monitor.

Here is something a little different. The new single from a fantastic swing quintet, Elle and the Pocket Belles.

This is, See You Later.

Quote by Mendalla

Yeah, the no more touring part has caused some upset, but with Floor touring more and more in her solo work, maybe that will mollify at least some folks. And they said "indeterminate" which often means "until we feel like doing it again".

That said, I'm more pissed than ever that I had to pass on seeing them in Toronto last year. First gig of the North American tour was in TO on my b-day. However, I had a medical appointment in town that day that was cancelled too late for me to get a ticket and make the trek.

Me too. I could have seen then in Munich last December.

Quote by Mendalla

Anna, did you hear the news? Floor is opening for Metallica. Not with Nightwish. Solo.

I didn't but I am not surprised. Nightwish has just announced a new album for next year and no more touring.

The new soundtrack album from The Last Kingdom is released today by John Lunn and Eivør Palsdottir.

This is Falling Free, live from Eivør. Although not from the aforementioned album, it shows what a fantastic artiste she is.
