#JustListened I had not listened to @mourningcandle.bsky.social yet, but I'm liking what I heard here! It's Industrial/GothicMetal, appropriately synth-heavy with an awesome vocalist, really cool guitarwork and tasteful drum-programming. Great lyrics, too! Highly, highly recommended!

“Gothic metal …about the current socioeconomic context. A beautiful combination.” -Roadie Metal, A Voz do Rock about our fourth single, “Harbinger.”🕯️ We put a ton of heart into this one. 🖤 @lesliebenson.bsky.social @sh1nyumbr30n.bsky.social @nickmclaren.com roadie-metal.com/mourning-can... #goth

Thanks to #NashvilleVoyager for the interview about navigating a still male-dominated music industry and defending lyricism and vocals as powerful instruments in their own right. 💪 🎶 Read article: nashvillevoyager.com/interview/co... #WomeninMusic #NashvilleMusic #Darkwave 📸 Photo by Ray Rose

Since it’s been well over 40 years since I first laid my hands on the #c64, I’m feeling like I want to dig into and try to actually learn to program 6502 assembly. As if I don’t have too many projects and interests already. 🤣 What can I say? The C64U has me inspired!

Space news is the best. Like, what do you mean there's a runaway supermassive black hole 10 million times bigger than the sun moving through space at 2 million miles per hour www.space.com/astronomy/bl...

A quick little nod to the company behind the first computer I ever owned, @commodoreofficial.bsky.social ! Ecstatic over all of the accolades they're getting for the new retro-futuristic C64 Ultimate. Can't wait to get my hands on one!

When we miss the Old Internet it's not just nostalgia, it's missing a time when online culture was driven by people who were really good at written communication rather than people who really liked to be on camera and hear themselves talk.

I’m thrilled by how well your music is being received! Proud to be a part of it! 🖖👽💀🖤🤘

I can see why! What a good looking game and well written!

Yeah baby, yeah!

Oh, it's just me, over here living in our wonderful over-engineered Rube Goldberg internet machine 🤣 justuse.org/curl/

Exciting things on the horizon for Mourning Candle!🕯️🦇 ▪️Our new single, “Harbinger,” drops this November! We’re thrilled to have once again worked with the amazingly talented @nickmclaren.com on the song! ▪️We’re booking shows for a regional tour next year. If you’d like to book us, please DM us!

I feel the need to rant. Please indulge me: This article seems to have a fundamental lack of understanding as to how @bsky.app functions. In Bsky, the power is in the enduser's hands as to what they want and don't want to see, and by default you get everything. (1/5) unherd.com/newsroom/blu...

Caustic goes New Jack Swing? YEAH BOY!!!! New track, feat an gorgeous intro from my pal @museofpvd.bsky.social ! NOT GOING ANYWHERE, up NOW on streamin'!

I can’t get over that he did all of this in MARIO PAINT! Rob Sheridan, making the most creative use of tools since 1993 (at least!). Kind of the MacGuyver of artists, or maybe the Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein. 😆

They are too good to me!

I’m sorry but I actually expected the base game to have upgraded graphics/framerate. Bit disappointed really.

In music news, @mourningcandle.bsky.social released their new single “Sycophants” and there may be ANOTHER shadow surprise waiting on their Spotify profile. I’ve had the pleasure of producing and engineering their music so far and I have been finding it SO rewarding! open.spotify.com/artist/5SgO1...

Hopped into New World Aeternum on PS5 briefly tonight. Honestly not feeling to engaged with it at the moment. Pretty sure it was my own lack of focus in the way. It’s extraordinarily difficult to commit to a game and STAY committed these days. Too many distractions and minimal time to begin with.

Ok, the hype is correct. Donkey Kong Bananza IS in fact a great game! This thing will sell some Switch 2 units for sure! I admittedly spend a lot of time just smashing up the level, but only because it’s so satisfying!

New file format for disk images in MacOS Tahoe yields performance and efficiency gains. I would still prefer an open standard, but here we are. eclecticlight.co/2025/06/12/m...

Watched a 7 hour retrospective on Castlevania and now I want to go back and play Bloodlines again.

I need this on ps5!

I’ll call a good thing when I see it. Good on you Netflix!

Big thanks to TN Highlighter for the feature! 🖤🎤 Major shout-outs to @mourningcandle.bsky.social @nickmclaren.com 🙌 👉 Read the article: tennesseehighlighter.com/meet-leslie-...

That time over a decade ago when I performed in a NIN tribute band... This was back in 2014. One of the last shows before HOB Sunset Strip was torn down to build a hotel or what not. (filmed it off the CRT purely for vibes) youtu.be/g8-Cau71ogI #nin #nineinchnails #tribute #band #tributeband

Helloooo Oblivion: Remastered! Loving playing again, but holy hell those FACES! Need some more work. Scary! #elderscrolls #oblivion #oblivionremastered

I just updated my handle to @nickmclaren.com since I'm a bit multi-faceted beyond my music work. Felt more appropriate. :)

“The Great Below” 1A (alt version) A little too perfect, yet sinister under the surface. #glitch #glitchart #crt

Whelp.. giving up the 27” Trinitron. Too big but mostly too HEAVY. I think a 20” will be better for my purposes. Back to the drawing board!

Hell yeah!

I had the privilege of doing additional production, mixing, and mastering on this fine EP! 🖖👽💀🖤🤘 #newmusic #darkscene #goth #darkwave #music #aep #electronic #synth #synthesizer #gothclub #mood

"Spheres" #glitchart #glitch #crt

My work co-pilot fell asleep on me.. RUDE! 😂 #catsofbluesky #cats

Well, I don't hate it, but I am a smidge underwhelmed. #switch2

Ok Nintendo. Let's go, and don't fuck it up.

The first wave of skull:zero VHS sets has shipped! These were a blast to make, I’m excited for them to be in your homes. Some unannounced surprises have been added to the sets… Preorders for wave two (second half of the edition of 50) are up at robsheridan.storenvy.com/collections/...

They really should! The power of imagination, I mean come on!

Some friends have a new cozy co-op game coming out soon for iOS/Android! Do check it out if it strikes your fancy!

With @pearljam.com's Dark Matter tour continuing in the US this spring, here's a thread of my behind-the-scenes videos showcasing the work I did directing the tour visuals (PJ's first concert visuals ever) hand-made with organic elements, practical FX, and other unique analog/digital techniques. 1/

Also back today after years out of print: "disappear" is a series about 21st century loss, isolation, and fleeting connections. It feels relevant now in a different way than it did 6 years ago. I remastered it for a new 2nd edition, signed, limited to 50: robsheridan.storenvy.com/collections/...

I have way too many options for things I want to do. WAY too many. Manifests partially as decision paralysis and difficulty focusing once you do decide. Trying to figure out exactly where my brain wants to be. I tell you, some days.. 😂

My Circle? Perfect.
