Did I Remember? - Billie Holiday (1936)

I know she’s known as “the lady that sings the blues” for a reason. But many of my personal favorite Billie Holiday songs are very upbeat. And this is one of them! She managed to make otherwise very standard pop tunes into very great and catchy masterpieces.

I have been a complete sweat this month (totally worth it btw)

It was only after working to 100% San Andreas that I realized just how much content there was in this game. Despite it coming out 21 years ago, it really puts games published in 2026 to absolute shame. Needless to say, I’m very proud of myself :)

Any working money glitches for Take The Cannoli achievement?

I only have one achievement left before I 100% complete GTA Vice City: Definitive Edition, Take The Cannoli. I started a new game and was able to get my criminal rating to 100,000 by shooting the Colonel’s boat but I’m having issues earning the $10 million necessary to unlock the achievement.

Every single player guide I’ve watched shows glitches that seem to have been patched since they were uploaded. The Cone Crazy method is very unreliable. Are there any other methods that still work to earn the money in a timely manner?

Since Rockstar felt like being anti consumer and won’t make a physical copy of GTA 6, I bought the next best thing 😎

In near perfect condition and for only $25. A lovely new addition to my video game collection :)

Anyone find a work around for Bioshock Remastered’s broken achievements?

I’m very close to 100% completing Bioshock Remastered’s achievements. But the one achievement that refuses to unlock is the simplest one: One Successful Hack. I’ve tried everything from clearing my cache to starting a new game to uninstalling/reinstalling and nothing works. I’ve seen other posts from years past with my same problem. If anyone knows a workaround, it’d be greatly appreciated 👍🏻

One of my favorite Irving Berlin standards: “Now It Can Be Told” by Teddy Wilson (1938)

Nowhere near as well known as Blue Skies or Alexander’s Ragtime Band but I adore the romantic lyrics. And Teddy Wilson’s band gives it such a beautiful sound!

Remembering The King Of Swing, Benny Goodman, on his birthday (May 30)

I still remember the moment I became a swing fan. Summer of 2020, I was spinning my new Benny Goodman record album that I got as a high school graduation gift, and his 1936 recording of Bugle Call Rag. I replayed it so many times, that one portion of the record is worn out.

It was Benny Goodman that really got me to take swing seriously and to find more artists like him, thus leading me to develop the music taste I have now. And I was so fascinated by his life and the good he did in leading racially integrated bands at the height of segregation that I bought some biographies to learn more about him. That was five years ago and now I’m much more well read on 1930s and 40s jazz/pop culture than anyone under the age of 25 has the right to be lol

Unable to sign in to play Xbox 360 backwards compatible games on Series X

I’ve seen some other posts on this same issue but I wanted to see if anyone has found a solution to this issue.

It began for me two days ago after I changed my gamertag and tried to sign in to play Gears Of War. Every time I put in my account info, it briefly shows it accepted it only to be greeted with this pop up. How can I fix this or should I reach out to?

Remembering Artie Shaw on his birthday (May 23)

The only musician who could rival Benny Goodman on the clarinet. A million contradictions wrapped up in one insufferably enigmatic person. The story of Artie Shaw is something to behold. His was the only biography I ever finished that left me with more questions than answers.

Ways to exercise my rotties in the summer to lose weight?

I have been putting my two overweight Rottweilers on a strict diet and exercise regiment and the results so far have been promising. One of them lost almost five pounds in just over a month.

Right now, we do 20-30 minute walks almost every day.
But as summer gets closer, I have to be more careful with how long I spend with them outside so as to not increase the risk of exhaustion or heat stroke (even in evenings and nights). How can I continue to work my dogs out when it’s too hot for walks?

I can't sign in. Is Spotify still down?

Two days ago, I went on to Spotify web browser and it showed that I was signed out (something I never do). When I tried to put in my email address, it says no account was linked to it when that isn't true. I know there has recently been an issue with Spotify's service but I wanted to know if anyone is still dealing with this issue and how I can sign back in.
