If "Listen, you stupid machine.." is not the greatest four words Douglas Adams ever wrote I don't know what is. Come on be honest, you say it almost every day too don't you.

ooh this video is nice lint2.bandcamp.com/album/air-in...

If you want to know how much Spotify hates artists, just look at their artist URLs. Every other website will be like /@username or name.bandcamp.com or whatever. Spotify though - spotify.com/artist/d7udkhFUHd87shisqsdf888s3 (bsky converting that to URLs with no opt out is not helping either)

“… before the 1970s Berlin School of electronic music, a style represented by artists such as Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream… an actual Berlin School of electronic music (or electrical music as it was then known in Germany) operated in the city and introduced electronic music performance to Europe.”

This place reeks of marijuana and reggae and honestly the world needs more good vibes these days so I’m totally here for it.

this will serve to hurt those women who "don't look feminine enough" - as Rowling and her vile followers will tune in to make sure everyone passes their bigot test - and if they don't they will make their lives miserable. Transphobes are universally shit people. Do not associate with them.

Hmm when your Mastodon instance doesn’t respond for a while and you start thinking shit I hope they haven’t come for my friend in Seattle now too.

Bit of a reggae number being soundchecked downstairs so of course I had to break out the Farfisa through the Vintage Time Machine didn’t I. It’s all @stobiepole.bsky.social’s fault, come to think of it.

music.apple.com/au/album/hea... new out of Kl(aüs) studio. Local hip hop guy, produced by Jonathan. I merely contributed my opinions, plus SH1 bass line on one track and they used my tibetan finger cymbals on another. A great example of "write what you know" Ben also has an ear for a wicked hook.

Looks like we have nearly full house for tonight's sydney.emom event. I am both excited and terrified.. it was much easier to contemplate a cosy, salon-like atmosphere. Crowds of 100+ start to get a bit scary.. but we'll cope, it's a great problem to have! sydney.emom.me

Godwaffle Noise Pancakes is tomorrow at Noon. Go to show!

and the reason why the chatbot is such a repulsive, festering piece of rotten shit is that these guys really wanted to put intelligence—meaning someone who is like them—in your pocket because they do fervently believe it will help you with everything you do. and as we all see: maximum possible error

So yes, the reason why every tech thing doesn’t work, the reason why every big tech mogul is Like That, is that they’ve all convinced each other mutually that Impatient Engineer Brain is a business skill. Because that’s now all the equities market invests in. It must be business skill!

Malcolm Roberts in the climate misinfo hearing labels the ABC "notorious propaganda" and questioned this (very good) ABC story for claiming the support for One Nation on FB was "Vietnamese bots" when it is "quite natural and truthful" www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

a dozen or so synth players lined up for an emom spinoff jam session in a private warehouse in Sydney’s inner west. Being the contrarian that I am I brought maracas, an egg shaker, melodica, finger cymbals, triangle etc. I was complimented on my triangle and melodica contributions. fun times.

New emom video just dropped (bwahaha) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUJq...

To clarify, according to the latest from the President: the US did not attack Iran because it anticipated Iran would attack it because Israel was going to attack Iran. The US attacked Iran because it forced Israel to attack Iran because Iran was going to attack Israel after the US attacked Iran.

From the AFR: sorry but this is absolutely batshit fucking crazy and it needs to stop

I just stumbled across this photo I took in Chiang Mai in 2019. Strong agree.

This is a great article for the pedagogically inclined.

Fresh on the Haunted Generation website - a long and fascinating chat I had with the great @thomasdolby.bsky.social for @electronicsound.bsky.social. Includes The Flat Earth, muppets, Robyn Hitchcock soundchecks and his old Morris Minor being in Star Wars... hauntedgeneration.co.uk/2026/01/05/t...

Never mind politics and all that, this is the sort of thing we should be arguing about on the internet. 🧵

First swim today was perfect. (although still slightly too many people on the beach for my liking)

So, turns out that food delivery service whistleblower thingy on reddit was a scam, and also things are a bit grim for journalists right now. www.platformer.news/fake-uber-ea...

Excellent analysis by Allan Behm on Venezuela thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

I don’t know if I worked harder on any other piece of music lagowski.bandcamp.com/album/danger...

The reasons the opposition wants a royal commission and the reasons the government doesn’t want a royal commission are equidistant from rationality, quite an achievement really

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

Side note for Death: could you go for some absolute shitheads for a while please? Leave us with some of the good ones for a bit longer, please.

No you can't. Telling a computer to paint something for you is not remotely the same as painting something yourself, what is wrong with these people

The problem is that the powers reliant on Mass AI adoption have sold a lot of Gen X and Millennials on the lie that optimal AI use is in the same bucket as optimal search engine use was in the early oughts. The different is that one revealed truths and helped research, the other deadens and obscures

This is a great album. Everything Arc did was a great album, in fact. RIP Mr Shreeve :(

Yesterday's Paddy Kingsland feature went down well, so here's the huge Radiophonic Workshop feature I wrote for @electronicsound.bsky.social in 2023. I spoke to Paddy, Roger Limb, Dick Mills, Peter Howell, Brian Hodgson and Mark Ayres and joyousness abounds. hauntedgeneration.co.uk/2024/11/19/t...

took the new toy for a spin, it’s pretty fun(ky)

I’ve already seen quite a few stupid things on the internet today. I hope you‘re proud of yourselves.

a list of technologies I’m never using in a live performance type situation ever again. 1. WiFi 2. HDMI

Now that they've given a state funeral to Graham Richardson, the entire concept has been rendered permanently meaningless. Nice work Albo.

Coming later today at lagowski.bandcamp.com - a seven track album of chilled beats, atmospheres and ethereal synth waves, entitled ‘A Million Tides’. #musicsky #ambient #soundtrack #atmospheres #synth

got a free spot at sydney.emom tomorrow night if anyone’s got 15 minutes of electronic music they can play live to a fun and engaged audience.

not wanting to blow my own trumpet too much or anything but this rather fun interview i did a while back has just gone live themothership.art/klaus

My bloody oath Redfern is looking spanking good this fine spring evening. Feels good to live here.
