I love how, because a synth can be as quiet or loud as you want, the presence of an acoustic instrument pegs it to some particular “size.” On this record Barbieri’s synth is mixed so fucking loud next to the sax that it sounds TITANIC. caterinabarbieri.bandcamp.com/album/at-sou...
Man why does Kim Gordon’s voice sound better than ever? It’s fucked up.
Without fail, the guy who has heard the most music, knows all the player’s names, and has the best taste is the squarest looking dude you will ever meet. And he probably has a job that lets him listen at work.
I love this album. If there was just one more like it, good would have triumphed over evil long ago.
Me and the misses 20 years ago.
LOGGING ON
I’ve been trying to get halfway decent at chess, and maybe I shouldn’t have spent the last 20 years playing pew pew baby games. I suck!
I stopped wearing ear protection while drumming, and I can’t tell if I’m sounding better or losing the ugly parts of my hearing.
The new Messthetics album is somehow more jazz AND more Fugazi than the last one. youtu.be/u3NvU4lo44g?...
What theeee fuck
I hope Saunders gets rich off this. I want to live in a world where he’s buried in money. deadline.com/2026/02/tom-...
Leftover collards are a breakfast food.
So videoludico describes something that is video game-like? It’s lovely!
You’re telling me the Italian word for videogames is videogiochi, and I’m only now finding this out? It makes me wonder: Who has the most delightful name for games?
Just finished this comic Civil War novel by a New Yorker writer only to find @seanbaby.bsky.social listed in the acknowledgments. Weird world!
In a couple of years they’ll be arguing with each other about how often you need to change out your banana.
Not far from Toyota’s US corporate headquarters and in an area with a ton of international food.
Nostalgia swells in my heart.
Wanna hear some extremely video game covers of classic ragtime piano music? Yes you do. ragger.bandcamp.com/album/euphon...
Now this is a sub table!
Some trimmed chuckeye from the Kroger’s bargain bin, roasted butternut squash, grapes, arugula, tahini dressing.
I love the way this seductive song gets almost swallowed up by nature sounds. youtu.be/Qi2ineHvbcE?...
New issue of a great games culture zine:
Setting aside the myriad ways you can make music for cheap on ancient computers, Suno isn’t “music production.” You have no real control over the details of what you make, only infinite dice rolls. It’s a creative toy.
Just stopped by a friend’s house to see how his maple syrup was going. Drank an entire cup of sap straight from the tree. Exotic stuff for a Texas boy.
