My friend Chris lent me his latest yard sale find my set. So I’m going to rip a crazy Speak & Spell solo.

Here it is folks, the Circuits in the Woods schedule, featuring a set from your faithful beige partier. 4pm which is a very age appropriate set time for my crowd. Or eat your edibles early. Dancing encouraged. From: @Circuits_in_the_Woods […]

Hey Mastodon, Circuits In The Woods has a schedule! 3 venues across 10+ hours. Come visit lovely Brattleboro #vermont. Hear some mind blowing future-retro/retro-future music. Talk about #synths and electronic music. Bleeps, bops, noise, beats, indie... we got it all. Check it out:

#RecordOfTheDay Gang of Four - Songs of the Free Going with some deep cut Gang of Four. This is a favorite of my partner; a record from her teen years that she shared with her dad. Is there nostalgia for this era of GoF? This record seems so overshadowed by the […] [Original post on beige.party]

This looks like a fun episode, interesting movies, but #thelastdrivein just doesn’t fit with my lifestyle any more. I’ll catch up with it later. Have fun #mutantfam

“Bring in the perverts.” #thelastdrivein

Saturday November 8th is the 42nd anniversary of the passing of James Booker. Dr. John called him "the best black, gay, one-eyed junkie piano genius New Orleans has ever produced." On the next Crescent City Connection: an astounding hour of primo Booker […] [Original post on heads.social]

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #unix v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973 Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum #retrocomputing

Someone has suggested LLMs are "good for writing summaries" but today I wrote a summary of all 38 chapters in "The Book I Can't Talk About Until it is Done" and this really helped me put them in order better and decide what I need to write next, cut and revise. Just having the summary done […]

#RecordOfTheDay Shriekback - Oil and Gold Another trip down memory lane with this recent score from Turn It Up! in Brattleboro, #Vermont. This was in heavy rotation when I lived with my brother and his wife in Boston. It was a record we could all agree on. Even […] [Original post on beige.party]

Cutest trick’or’treater tonight was the little girl in the princess costume who came as we were getting to the bottom of our bowl. “How many pieces?” she asked quietly. “Just one. We’re running out and there’s still a lot of kids.” She looks at us with an earnest expression “Do you want some of […]

There's a couple new tracks up on In Medias Res

GOOD DOG. Sad movie.

Back in 2023 I wrote a 31 blog posts for the month of October highlighting some of my favorite lesser known horror movies. I keep thinking I’ll do some sorta follow up but I keep getting distracted (it was a lot of work). Still, I like these posts a lot […]

Putting together my set for @Circuits_in_the_Woods from the comfort of my living room.

Mental Health Resources for Musicians & Music Industry Professionals (World Mental Health Day 2025) https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2025/10/top-mental-health-resources-for-musicians-on-world-mental-health-day-2025.html

Roland: “Here, it’s the thing you’ve been asking for all this time. We did it. It does everything, no corners cut, no expense spared.” Customers: “Wah, it’s not a DAW in a box and it’s too expensive.”

@puffer boosted, shared, and will very likely come to your festival from Keene! If you haven't already, you might add this to the cultural calendar at https://discovermonadnock.com (it's run by an organization I'm on the board for.)

In addition to performing at the forthcoming Circuits in the Woods festival (in Brattleboro #Vermont, Nov 15), I am running the official Mastodon account. :apartyblobcat: https://mastodon.social/@Circuits_in_the_Woods This is an experiment to see if using a Mastodon account for interacting […]

While straightening some storage this weekend I came across a stash of used vinyl records I had isolated from my collection because they had various degrees mildew infection—that smell spreads even with outer record sleeves. But now that I have built my anti-mildew machine I’m cleaning them up […]

On November 15th, 2025, I will be performing at the Circuits in the Woods electronic music festival in Brattleboro Vermont. It's an absolutely banging line-up of workshops and performances, spread across 3 venues in scenic Southern Vermont. Brattleboro is close to the the Mass border and less […]

The Onion on point as always.

Cluster & Eno While this is clearly of a piece of Eno (& Cluster's) 70s work, it's also rather timeless. There's nothing (save perhaps the nature of analog synths) that indicates its 1977 origin. Anyway, it's a nice merging of sensibilities, and the partnership […] [Original post on mas.to]

An important reminder from F.D Signifier

Took down my post about cancelling Hulu. Not that I’m not dumping it but it has less to do with Jimmy Kimmel, who, tbh, is not an entertainer I particularly care about. Sure, he can be amusing making fun of the easiest target in the world. And it’s good that there are mainstream voices openly […]

Not all music needs to be remastered.

Do a lot of people underestimate how much bad faith on the left is stirred up by agent provocateurs, informants and infiltrators? Like, do we think that all the lessons learned with CoIntelPro were just forgotten when they got exposed? Of course the left gets derailed and bicker. It’s super easy […]

Time for the gentle reminder that you don’t have to wait until Bandcamp Friday to support independent musicians and labels. The cut Bandcamp takes is pretty reasonable in the scope of things. And I can attest that it is absolutely wonderful when some buys your music just because.

When people say “if I had millions of dollars I would do [charitable or selfless act for loved ones or others]” it is important to realize that is why they’ll never have millions of dollars. One doesn’t amass or hoard that kinda kind of wealth if your heart is bursting with generosity.

Coffin Joe is a slight lil pervert. #thelastdrivein

This is quite an open credit sequence. #thelastdrivein

Letting us know the second movie is a new thing, isn't it? #thelastdrivein

Interesting, I know nothing about Coffin Joe. #thelastdrivein

Who's watching #thelastdrivein tonight?

🤞

Not sure what’ve that Taylor Lorenz person wrote about but I’m sure it was garbage. She’s always been kinda sus.

#RecordOfTheDay Open Mike Eagle - Neighborhood Gods Unlimited There’s a few criteria I have for collecting a complete vinyl discography: - Not too vast; like less than 10 records - Most of the releases are affordably priced - Open Mike Eagle records This is […] [Original post on beige.party]

Goddamn. Everyone buy a Jack White record this weekend.

I think I get shielded a bit from how enshittified the internet has gotten because so much of what I'm looking up is usually in reputable news sources or peer-reviewed research in astronomy (which isn't a big money-maker). But wow, trying to find information on solar panel efficiencies or home […]

As quote posts get ever closer on Mastodon I again cross my fingers that implement it in such a way that is more intentional than just copying what twitter had. That's the route that Bluesky has taken and one of the worst aspects of quote posts has now prevalent that platform. To wit, people […]

I released two new tracks to In Medias Res. Wrote about them on the blog: https://digitallofi.com/blog/2025/08-august/in-medias-res-august-release #music #musicproduction #dancingaboutarchitecture

#RecordOfTheDay Hot Chocolate - Man to Man Holy shit, J! When this came up on Discogs with "Make Offer" on a $24 listing price I doubted that this was in fact Mint. My offer of $20 was accepted and a week later was holding this still-sealed copy of the third […] [Original post on beige.party]
