I rant about things, usually music, sometimes for money. Bylines seen in PopMatters, Bandcamp, the Georgia Straight, and Exclaim! Longtime juror for the Polaris Prize and Juno Awards. https://linktr.ee/alanranta ⓘ this user is a dork

The genocide in Gaza is wrong.
The war in Iran is wrong.
Antisemitism is wrong.
Sorry about that. Sometimes I just have to woke a bit. Lotta killing happening these days. That sure sucks. Would be nice if people used all that bomb money for education and healthcare instead, just sayin'.
Colin Cowan is a gem. This album deserved more love in 2025.

I had to cut too much to put it on YouTube.
Trippin' Travel Guide '76
This mix takes us on a trip around the globe. While the odd English word appears, most of this 12-hour 6-part mix is sung in languages that are not, in fact, English. There was a lot going on in 1976, worldwide. Explore a bit with this.

He probably doesn't have any beefs. The world is finally at peace.
You can get a taste of this mix here. YouTube wanted too many cuts:

Doth thou speaketh with forked tongue, devil maester? Land, mine ears ring with bloviations of the first order. A pox on thee!
Nice one. Not sure if I have seen Ora live before. Stoked she signed to @sacredbones.bsky.social, though. That's huge.
He's been shaking a lot of necks lately.

If you're going to write a comedy scene, you're going to have some rat feces in there.

TOKiMONSTA going 'Mission Impossible' to retrieve a wand toy.
Have you ever seen a cat this bad before? She got her wand toy out the other night. I thought I'd left it out, but when she jumped off the basket, she pushed it back on the shelf nicely. The sporadic sounds of her falling off the shelf and bouncing off the bed make more sense now. Toki has no fear.
Nathan Fake is a gem.
Colin Cowan should be as famous as Cindy Lee.

Seriously, it's time for "Choir Practice."

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
I just made a 9+ hour mix of reggae and dub from 1976:
bit.ly/reggae1976
As a side quest, I'll also be producing a 3+ hour mix of reggae and dub-influenced tracks. That one isn't ready yet, but it's cool to hear that sound spread. "Hotel California" was originally called "Mexican Reggae."
You are only saying that because it is true.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this mix:

I put a lot of myself into this one, a lot of sampling and processing.

WZZZ 100.1FM drifts Downtempo '76
A 10-hour mix of mostly instrumental downtempo electronic music made to sound like a radio station that you are meant to fall asleep to, planting seeds for Boards of Canada and Broadcast, while the ad breaks trip you out.

Grant Morrison is an absolute legend. Did you ever see his speech for Disinfo? That guy has definitely had his Valis experience.
