Brit Band Love. Late 90s - Today. Who'd I forget?

As an American I've always been drawn to UK bands. They just damn near all always speak to me. Always inventive. Always poignant, musically & lyrically. The Amazons, Overgrown, and Nothing But Thieves these days (up top) are total favorites, but Doves might be my overall favorite.

As soon as I exported this I wrote down an obvious unintentional snub on the list: OASIS. Duh. Who else though?

"Testing The Strong Ones" clip - The Sanctuary, Maynard MA 9-16-26

It's just 20 seconds, apologies! Didn't want to be that guy watching the whole show through his phone. 100% got chills seeing this song (and whole set) in this Friday Night Lights / Explosions In The Sky kind of vibe.

"Walking Downtown" clip - The Sanctuary, Maynard MA 9-16-26

Crushed it. They were phenomenal, funny in between songs, brilliant mix, poignant as ever. What a joy, first time I've ever had the chance to see them live, and I've been a fan since '03. I know. I'm embarrassed for myself.

Got a couple other clips as well, if there's any interest I'll post em (Coffee & Testing The Strong Ones)

Is the View Single Instrument function gone in Kontakt 8.9?

Apologies if I'm just a bumbling moron here, but I have done deep dives and can not figure this out. Attached is the regular Classic View, with a currently 5-instrument multi-rack going on.

There used to be a View option (now the View menu is completely missing of course), where you could shrink the entire Kontakt instance down to ONLY show that one instrument, of the ones active on the right. Great if you're scoring with video on screen bc the large Kontakt instance just overtakes the video, can't layer the video over Kontakt, and that Titan Rise Designer there being so wide, I can only re-size the width TO that (being the widest instrument in this example).

At the very bottom left is the ability to Hide/Show the vertical Libraries list (2nd screenshot). Cool. Getting warmer, but not the Single Instrument view. Google has nothing. YouTube nothing. Anyone got any idea on this?

Absolute jaw-dropper of a find | TOOL - 10,000 Days

Did 2 record store crawls over the past 2 days. 6 shops in 2 days up here in southern NH / northern MA. On my last stop, at Wardtone Records in Hampton NH, in the last bin, was this. Obviously there's no *official* release. But when you see 10,000 Days in the wild, you say YES. Got home and realized it's colored vinyl...So that's the best record store day of the year.
