Ciara Ní Mhurcú / Re: Ciara as a member of BIIRD
« on: April 21, 2026, 08:26:46 PM »
Nice. The Toronto shows will do nicely location-wise. Not sure if the timing will work out yet, but it would be fun to see Ciara again, as well as Kate's sister Sal.
I hope you enjoy the show(s)! You’ll have to report to us when you’ve seen them.

Should we make a new board for BIIRD, as we have boards for CaraNua, The Blue Belles, and the Celtic World Forum? Or was Ciara’s tenure with CW too short for that?

We could probably justify a new board based on Ciara and Kate both having been in that group, mostly because the alternative would be to post it under one of their dedicated boards on the Forum and keep track of whose board the content is in. Although I suppose we'd be justified in having a dedicated board for Anuna based on that criteria.

It looks like most of the shows in the area are as a supporting act for Ed Sheeran. That'll certainly drive the ticket price up, and narrow the decision window a lot. Maybe 1 solo show in Toronto, but it's not easy to get to on transit and I'd need to take half a day off work to get there ahead of the traffic by car.

Lynn Hilary / Wild and Gentle Things (Enchanted Animal Songs)
« on: April 08, 2026, 11:10:14 PM »
Lynn released a new digital EP on YouTube called Wild and Gentle Things.

It's really good!

https://youtu.be/LEC0Oj3IJSg?si=CM0h6Hw7gnCaOLhj

As she describes the EP, it's: a collection of mystical and enchanted songs for children (and adults with an inner child!) inspired by the magic of nature and the beauty of wild (and tame) animals! Created as "Parent-Friendly" music that both children and adults can enjoy equally.

I think it's possible they could fund a concert special, in some capacity, even without PBS through sponsors, but a medium to broadcast it could be a concern. I'm not sure that a direct to Blu-ray production would be profitable. If PBS isn't able to pick it up and give it a platform where it can be viewed, they may have to look at non-traditional avenues, like streaming, which I've been advocating for a while to reach a broader demographic. It would be a challenge, but also a big opportunity.

It's great to have you here!

I'm getting malware detections from that site.
It might be a false positive, but it's a little scary.
It's probably coming from an ad it's trying to load, as it's not a consistent detection.

I also added a news banner notice about it for awareness. We can keep that running for a little while to remind people.

They're also getting injected into other links too, such as Spotify. I saw links going back as far as at least 2019 making use of this.

I think if people are aware of this insideous tracking scheme and we try to be careful that will somewhat mitigate its perpetuation. We might be able to disallow the "?si=" string, but I don't want to make things annoying enough that people post less.

For now, I did a string match for the si parameter (?si=) and manually scrubbed a bunch of the existing ones, preserving the time parameter (&t=) which generally follows the si parameter, if present. I left a few examples where you called it out.

Note: I have edited this to remove the insideous "si" tracking parameter in the URL.

I listened to the Exposed album. It's an enjoyable country-rock album. The guitar and vocals are the dominant sounds but you can hear the violin if you focus enough. Keep Them Kisses Comin' and Yeah are some of the easier tracks to hear the violin.
