I don't have a Kindle because I generally prefer reading books as books. I spend most of the rest of my time in front of a screen anyway. I'll read news and tech articles and stuff in a browser (and I'll never stop complaining about people making 20 minute videos with background music for stuff that could be put into a text article that would take 5 minutes to read in whole and that I could just glance over to find the part I'm actually interested in), but for anything more substantial, I like having something physical in my hands that also gives me a feeling for how far I've progressed. That said, I still think that every physical book should come with a matching ebook version, if necessary for a modest fee that covers creating the digital version and keeping it published on a server. If an ebook version exsists anyway, it should be included free of charge (or a free that just covers the fees the publisher may have to pay to the hoster for a single instance of an ebook that's already been published and which they wouldn't have sold to me anyway). Simply because it's very useful for searching and perhaps quoting, but I'm not going to buy an extra ebook copy just for that if it costs almost as much as the physical thing I already have in my hand (and which cost that much partly because if had to be produced from materials).

I managed to get to the first confrontation with other humans before being too frightened and turning it off. I never got to meet an actual xenomorph. -

Hi, I'm Curly, and I only surround myself with people who allow me to keep using that name. -

I'm familiar with Spiral (I just played it again the other day), but probably not with the Stravinsky, because it doesn't remind me of anything. What is it? -

Changes in interpretation (which I maybe don't always agree with, but clearly Karajan's views changed), advances in technology (though the problem with Karajan always being on the bleeding edge of technology is that fresh remasters of his analogue recordings sound better than his later digital ones, even if they may have been better at the time). Sometimes different orchestras (his 80s digital Berliner Planets are better performed than his 60s Wiener version, although that has the distinction of being one of the first mainland Europe recordings of the work, as far as I know). In the end though, why complain? If you prefer earlier recordings, stick to those. Technology. During the 80s, there must have been a massive rush among labels to be the first to offer digital recordings of any given work (I was too young to be aware of it, but that's what I take from reading contemporary reviews… pretty much like the 60s and 70s were a battle field of who could manage the first complete recordings of Wagner's Ring).

Varese. And since I don't know anything by Varese, I have no idea if her comment makes sense. -
I'm confidently excited for this film.
