@Rosemary Hmm, looking this up more, it's both.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LP_record

It was a format that became the standard for albums, which then mutated into being used as a shorthand for "album".

@Rosemary Yeah. I think LP has just become synonymous with vinyl records, while "album" has crossed over to general use on any medium.
EP remains, for whatever reason, to mean a mini-album, much like "novella" is a word for a shorter-form novel.

@Rosemary It's a musical release term, I think a holdover from vinyl record days. Distinguishing a single track release from a slightly larger collection of tracks, usually 4-5. The larger collection is still not a full album, so it's called Extended Play, or EP.
When there's a full album of songs (I would guess over 6 tracks or 60 minutes of playtime), it becomes a Long Play, or LP.

Somehow I forgot about this, and turn around to find an entire EP released last year!

BT and Christian Burns (who's sung on many BT tracks) get together and form a synthpop band called All Hail The Silence. It's real good stuff.

@Roady_Dragonfae When I was a kid, my older sister and I had a playhouse made from a big fridge box. I remember drawing "buttons" all over one wall and imagining that it could turn into a spaceship or a submarine or a time machine.

Imagination is good, and still important. :-)

I was trying and failing to source a specific quote from Craft Sequence about creation myths, and how they can be retroactively true, earlier in this thread. Something like "as soon as we discovered gods, they had always existed." But maybe that was from Gunnerkrigg Court.

Closest I found was from Fulm Fathom Five (paraphrased): "I suspect that if we could go back in time to the beginning, we'd find all of [the creation myths] happening simultaneously."

@Felthry Rio Grande River, Sierra Nevada Mountains, etc. :-)

@Felthry @kobold

Yeah, I'd read this. Systematic magic is a fascination (and hobby) of mine. :-)

@chalcedony@octodon.social

I keep thinking "comm" or even "PADD" is more accurate. :-)

Technology!

Via my phone while coming home from work, I have:
-deposited my paycheck
-paid my insurance
-balanced my budget
-coordinated with partner regarding dinner
-ordered dinner
-wrote this toot

All without saying a word. :-)
"Phone" is increasingly an anachronistic term.
