Friday! This fourteenth edition of Musicellaneous presents a little known yet extremely professional German collective with the funky name 7for4.
7for4 was founded back in 1999 by the guitarist and the band’s frontman Wolfgang Zenk. It has released only four albums to date.
But what albums!

Is it also Friday where you are? In this thirteenth edition of Musicellaneous we continue to learn about lesser-known yet very progressive bands with a three-word title.
Today we’re listening to Lost in Thought from Swansea (Wales, UK) which plays melodic progressive metal.
It’s Friday! As a follow-up to the topic of symphonic metal started by Osture in the previous edition of Musicellaneous, this time I’d like to tell you about once-existed German band Beyond the Bridge.
During its lifetime the band has recorded the only album, but it’s a real masterpiece (you wouldn’t see them in this series otherwise).
It was my very first visit to the Dutch city of Nijmegen, which is located near the German border.
The reason for my going there was a joint aikido seminar led by three senseis:
So I was brave enough to not get scared off by storm Ciara (but nonetheless happy to be back home before dark).
About a month ago we’ve bought a peculiar gadget, the pocket thermal printer PeriPage A6.
Quite a bit of thermal paper has been spent since so I think I can share my experiences about the device.

It’s Friday again, which means—another gulp of exotic music in the eleventh edition of Musicellaneous!
This time I’m going to sidestep the tradition of reviewing instrumental djent stuff. Our guests today are the cinematic progressive metal band (in their own words) Ostura from Lebanon.
A new version of Sound Switcher Indicator — 2.3.0 — has just been released.
This version finally adds a frequently-requested feature: the ability of mapping global keyboard shortcuts to input and output ports.
This day marks the end of the 47-year-long history of the Great Britain as a part of the European Union.
Even though it doesn’t directly affect me, I find it a bit sad. I second Boris Akunin’s opinion it’s a regress and a victory of retrogressive thinking.

It’s Friday again! This tenth edition of Musicellaneous features another unique project by a talented individual. I’m talking about the instrumental progressive metal band Andromida, which is in fact just one person: the American Ramon Gutierrez.
The band is unique because Ramon is “legally blind”, which was discovered when he was as little as three years old.
One of the tricky things in Dutch is the mapping of a noun to one of the two grammatical genders:

It’s Friday! This ninth edition of Musicellaneous presents romantic djent played by the American band Sea in the Sky.
At home I’m using my laptop in a kind of a stationary setup. It has all the peripheral devices, like a 4K display, a keyboard, a mouse etc., constantly attached to it.
This is pretty neat and looks as follows:
