high school algebra left me woefully underprepared

i guess if the market has a need ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

a friend gave me a nice weighted piano / midi controller yesterday. he plugged it in before i got there to check it out and swore he heard an actual "pop". ordered a replacement power supply from evilzon to see if the board itself took a hit or if this poor old supply took all the weight 🤞🏽

this could have been a shitshow bit it actually worked out pretty well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i forgot i had seen some of this before, but this intro image makes me so retro nostalgic that im gonna watch it again

dude would really rather that i just sit the fuck down so he can have his favorite warm seat back. board is at stasis, will have to spend a week or two in this config to see if anything is out of place. it literally takes me doing a bunch of improv stuff to tell me whats wrong, feels ok atm tho

90's anime had zero chill. Goku MIdnight Eye starts off with a touch of ultraviolence then into a scene at a club with a topless dancer wearing just some panties & some kind of back harness fitted with handlebars. Seems like that would really chafe.

ordered this custom matching volume pedal and 2x expression pedal what feels like 20 minutes ago from @talltimbertech.bsky.social super handsome devices and actually makes me looking forward to the inevitable board tear down and rewire they're gonna make me do

Angel Cop (1990) is batshit. The English dub is amazing and very much of its time. While I can't recommend you watch it, I'm kinda smitten by how crazy it is.

this lo-fi synth from arturia is currently my favorite toy. didnt think i would like all these warbly ass sounds as much as i do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

these little en16 controllers are pretty sweet. each encoder can send midi info to separate sources depending on which way you turn them and also single and double clicks. excellent for use w ipads, but for the life of me i cannot get it to talk to my mc6-pro pedal controller 😭

initially i was just building my whole recent set on ipad w a single 16 knob controller. each encoder was assigned to multiple parameters of the effects and software synths. the encoders double as push buttons so i can also play it like a keyboard.

random pics from this wknd. played music live for the firt time in like seven years. went ok, had a brief technical hiccup but everyone was very forgiving.

had a moment b4 dinner last night so met mrs.azazabacheche at @leftbankbooks.bsky.social & found this lil chonker on the art and politics of ai weiwei. i dont know much about the artist other than seeing random images of their work thru the years so looking forward to digging in

once again just kinda blown away by how rad the art is in #blame

#blame! by tsutomu nihei is equal parts nightmarish and gorgeous. I had no idea what the story was about and as i'm only near the middle, i still really dont. but its completely captivating. just wish the "pages" were like 18"x24" so i could better see all the amazing details

another excellent video by @bennjordan.bsky.social youtu.be/xMYm2d9bmEA?...

this is gorgeous. youtu.be/34Cu-ytwTCQ?...

about a year ago i grabbed a Tensor from a friend who literally had it in a pile of unused pedals. didnt know much about it just heard it was a micro looper which sounded fun. since then i got two other red panda pedals and for their size and price i think they're seriously underrated. so much fun!

driving back from s/e mo and thought i saw a little dead monkey on the side of the highway. i was like " theres no monkeys in missouri" then like 5m later i passed that budget ass "safari" wildlife park that had all the illegal animals 😳 😬 😵

the voice acting is honestly kind of terrible but this looks rad.

Before you ask me "where are you" please tell me what you want so I can decide where I am.

i remember seeing this vhs back in the olden days but only just now watching it. some really "cool" looking shots in #armitageiii

doing taxes and got to a part where we have to input our roth info. felt on brand for the hellacape that is 2025 if there were ads dominating media of a takeoff using twisted sisters hit song "i wanna rock" but changed to "i wanna roth"

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word: If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

spent an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out how to cut these can rings into the longest strand because apocalyptic reuse is never far from the front of my mind. #reducereuserecycle #postapocalypse #craftday #uselesshobby

Just saying..

abt 30 yrs ago shared a late night dj slot where we basically learned how to beat mix on air 😬 over the course of a year or two. we were never sober & if anyone had been listening wed've racked up thousand$ in f-bomb fines. anyway it was on kdhx and it was so much fun and they need some help (more)

It bears repeating…. @elienyc.bsky.social is right.

#broadcast released this 25 years ago today. I remember at the time that people were comparing it to #portishead or #stereolab but i always thought it stood pretty firmly on its own with only surface similarities. either way i still love this record and listen to it pretty often ❤️

my anime reading has only ever been akira and gits up til like two months ago. can you recommend stuff thats got a similar vibe to #dandadan and #chainsawman ? also just watche #sakamotodays and really like it too. heres a pic of my dudes as pre thanks

#dandadan has some genius moments

hella windy today, but warm enough to see the first of the #groundhogs #whistlepigs #spring #midwest

Water sausage flawlessly pulls off the incredibly technical 3600 spin. Otterly amazing!!!!

my sunshine gave me this sweet #phaidon book on #brutalism Weirdest thing is that they included the text of an instagram post by #gwynethpaltrow as part of the foreword. Didn't know she carried so much weight in the artistic concrete building materials world #architects #brutalist #architecture

sometimes its easier to tell that things on fire #sunshine #sun #morning #wereallgonnadie

artwork for upcoming "record". went with a different name than the last few releases because it feels like a pretty big departure. lots of glitchy percussion elements and short looping melodic lines that could almost be actual songs!
