one afternoon I was lost in thought and my partner asked me what I was thinking about and I was honest and said "I bet we could save a lot of money on candles by looking for them at estate sales" which is dumb because they're very cheap at goodwill
everyone laughs at the dril candles tweet until suddenly it's only a week until you go to stay at an off-grid cabin in the mountains so you need to start candling TODAY but for some reason it's impossible to purchase pre-waxed candle wicks anywhere in-store within an hour's drive of your apartment
TIL the recipient of the most disrespectful dunk in history is running for governor in Oregon as a Republican.

It's always a hoot watching art people get stoked about Sunn—or at least the idea of Sunn—but you know Anderson and O'Malley are still heshers when the only description of this 2006 live tape featuring Oren Ambarchi, Mark Deutrom, and Atsuo Mizuno is:
"No monitors were harmed, but feelings were."

...in support of a WSJ editorial advocating for land war with Iran is a solid reminder to "never post"
I can't stop thinking about this
After 15 years of ID Music it's obvious that my FM broadcast experimental meditation DJ mixes aren't about to suddenly blow up but it still feels over-indulgent dropping deathy blackened sludge metal—however grooving—into an otherwise mostly pleasant mix of psychedelic drone-dub-percussion sessions.

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.
Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.
And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

All I'm trying to do is finish this ID Music mix of polyrhythmic wooden techno with slowed and throwed Live Sunn tapes and watch Benedict Mathurin help the Clippers beat the Knicks yesterday night on League Pass.

If there is an issue that you feel strongly about such as not funding genocide or dismantling right wing paramilitary ethnic cleansing programs or guaranteeing body autonomy then it's good IMO to tell the party you would like to vote for 973 days before the election.
18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?
You preferred human writing. You're either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser. Maybe vou also noticed that human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian," caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: "As well ask men what they think of stone." A.I. used to make mistakes like these. But today's systems are much more fluid than their predecessors - so fluid, in fact, that finding grammatical errors or nonstandard syntax is often a hint that you're looking at a human's prose, not a machine's.
The idea that Cormac McCarthy's writing style is a *mistake* nearly made me experience an aneurysm.
Here's an album I think lots of people missed when it was released in 2016; I know I did. Rectifying that now.
Spirits
by Adam Rudolph, Pharoah Sanders & Hamid Drake
(Meta 2016)
Recorded in concert 1998

I guess this is more of a personal defense against becoming a misanthrope, expressed in annoying political science syntax because of social media. I blame the voters as well, and for the same reason: They're not stupid. But I blame them less because I can't drop out to the compound yet.
"blame the voters" ends up at misanthropy: do awful people win elections because of the actions of a few thousand awful and powerful people who are cynical and/or incompetent, or because tens of millions of people with very little power are all evil cretins and/or hopelessly naive purity testers
listened to five or six Sunn tapes from their NYOP live archives this weekend: they're mostly AUDs and it's charming to listen to first-timer chompers standing close to the taper trying to continue their conversation as the frequencies swell and thinking oh sweeties you have no idea what's coming
The 20 Buck Spin connection is still so weird to me. They work with so many good bands, and Vatican Shadow is pretty far outside their usual zone. I love metal, but there's a strain of boring old school metalhead contrarianism that really sucks.
Fernow's not here, but Boyd Rice and Adam Parfrey are. One of the petty reasons I get so mad about this shit is I used to try and sell ad space to Feral House when I worked for Arthur Magazine and he was a total prick and I'm so tired of having to explain to otherwise not-nazis about Death in June.
at first it maybe seems like small potatoes but once you know the players you can use the P4k profile to get from Fernow to white nationalist celebrity William Pierce—Turner Diaries author and founder of the National Alliance—surprisingly quickly

shout-out to The Quietus for at least acknowledging that questions were raised, and also for their intermittent coverage of fascism and white supremacy in underground music

I dug up this septic mess as a community radio DJ with an understandably unpopular yet surprisingly long-running show that airs in the middle of the night in the Chihuahuan Desert, and a lotta music magazine editors explained to me about Bowie wore a swastika once instead of unpublishing a web page.
"abandoned space ship" is my favorite sci fi—where are the Revelation Space heads at—but the most difficult disbelief to suspend is when they turn the ship on and it works instead of bricking and everyone suffocates because the CO2 scrubber SaaS subscription lapsed or nobody has a USB◊ cable
also, solidarity with being a kid in rural nowhere: exploring music in a conservative household pre-www and no MTV via randomly acquired cassettes, it wasn't until college that I learned that Laibach's LET IT BE was Beatles covers

I had to shoulder more of the fact-checking whenever the hip-hop editor would get depressed after lunch at the strip club, get stoned up on the roof, and then find an unoccupied office where he'd fall asleep under a desk so it's not like we all had our shit together or anything.
