Thinking of starting a Sunday ritual here. A weekly post with random things that caught my eye and felt worth sharing. Not sure if it\u2019ll stick, but let\u2019s give it a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conan O’Brien Mark Twain Award special on Netflix.<\/strong>
Hands down one of the best comedy specials I\u2019ve seen in a long time. The roasts from his friends are brutally funny, and there’s a sharp political undertone that never lets you forget the current state of the US. If you\u2019re a Conan fan (or just into smart, fearless comedy), don\u2019t miss this.

Dire Straits – Brothers In Arms – 40th Anniversary<\/strong>
Released on May 16, this iconic album is now out on all major streaming platforms, Vinyl, CD, and Blu-ray, featuring lush Dolby Atmos and 5.1 mixes. This record shaped a big part of my youth, and I couldn\u2019t resist grabbing it. It sounds absolutely fantastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s like I did, chances are you had at least one Sony product in your life.
I was a huge Sony fan back then. The last audio device I owned from them was a Minidisc recorder. I absolutely loved that thing and held onto it for years, until I traded it for a Creative Jukebox. Looking back, I really wish I had kept it. There\u2019s something almost mystical about the design aesthetic of Sony products from that era \u2014 a mix of elegance, precision, and futuristic minimalism that\u2019s hard to find today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember seeing the PS5 for the first time and instinctively rejecting it. It just didn\u2019t have that magic.
Honestly, I\u2019d love to see Sony release a proper, affordable media player, CD player and all, designed in the spirit of their golden years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I digress.
If you’re a fellow Sony nostalgist, check out the @ObsoleteSony Instagram account. It\u2019s packed with gorgeous shots of classic devices from that era. If you’re not following them yet, you’re missing out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also an official Design Gallery site from Sony here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
