hey Cinci locals, if you want to come hang out and enjoy some ambient music (or even play a set!), this is the monthly event for you.

this month’s edition is this saturday!

the longer people speak, the more likely they are to make weird sounds, have a weird cadence, whatever

I can't count the number of times I've been doing a second pass and thought, "oh I messed that up," only to reference the source recording and hear that it was just a weird thing the person did.

Editing is sometimes moving the space between audio back and forth a frame or two and relistening to make sure the break in sentences sounds natural by making it not natural.

This house will become a shrine, and punks and skins and rastas will all gather round and hold their hands in sorrow for their fallen leader. And all the grown-ups will say, "But why are the kids crying?" And the kids will say, "Haven't you heard? Rick is dead! The People's Poet is dead!"

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.

you could ask the same question with regards to a calculator, a chess program, etc. a rock, even

From a Justin Broadrick fan group on FB called AVALANCHERS, posted by Luke Lund on March 4, 2026: JKB / GODFLESH news — IMPORTANT Heard from Justin today, he's given the okay to share some life changing news. Official statement to come... JKB is recovering and regaining mobility from a serious abdominal surgery some three weeks ago. It addressed a significant hernia issue that had been developing and increasingly affecting live performance. Some may already have heard, or noticed the scaling down of live shows over the past months. The operation went ok, but this condition has resulted in chronic physical limitations that make intense physical activity and loud singing unsafe. GODFLESH will no longer perform live. Last year's "in dub" in London was the final GODFLESH performance. This aligns with thoughts that had already been forming about eventually closing out GODFLESH, but the recent surgery simply accelerated that... Mixing on the penultimate GODFLESH LP, "DECAY" is almost complete, aiming at early autumn release. Another, already written final LP will follow, which will be recorded toward the end of the year. Afterwards, GODFLESH will exist through releases of live/archival/dub/other rare material. The next jesu LP titled "Still Life" is currently in demo form, with recording and mixing slated for spring, and release expected late 2026. jesu performances will continue as they don't require the physicality, and JKB will be easing back into live activity in the coming months of recovery JKB is also excited to tell about developing a new solo project, exploring new forms of heavy, filthy electronics layered with guitars and voice. It will occasionally be presented live, and possibly with a drummer taking over rhythm.
