Week 10 of 2026
Finally received the vinyl version of Candelabro - Deseo, carne y voluntad, my second favorite album of 2025. Sadly, there was some damage during transportation to the corners of the cover.
This week I’ve been a little sick, slowing down my progress in the first course of the Practical Machine Learning: Foundations to Neural Networks Specialization.
Listened to
Albums/EPs:
- Bruno Pernadas - unlikely, maybe (Also on Bandcamp). Great Jazz Fusion from Portugal. Found in the Rate Your Music charts
- Femtanyl - Man Bites Dog (Also on Bandcamp). I had great expectations and I wasn’t disappointed
- FKA twigs - Eusexua. One of the best electronic Pop albums from last year
- FKA twigs - Eusexua (Reissue). A version of the album above with some song changes
- FKA twigs - Eusexua Afterglow. A follow-up released the same year. For some it’s even better than Eusexua. I’m still undecided

Other Media
Playing:
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Last Thursday, after 100 hours of play, I started feeling a little burned out from the game. Because of that, I left a save file just before facing the final boss and I’m pausing for a few days. I got enough fun from the game so I’ll attempt to kill the final boss and stop playing regardless of the result
- Vampire Crawlers Demo. It’s a lot of fun. I don’t want to get too invested in case the game changes too much on release
