Also vibin today with Boris’ Dronevil. Glad this finally got a normal vinyl version, it’s often overlooked in favor of Flood and Feedbacker, but deserves to stand right up there with the best. Monolithic, melancholic, atmospheric slow burn post-rock with devastating power.

Celebrating the good Death Grips news with one of the best mixtapes of all time, Exmilitary. It took me until 2013 before I hopped on board through Takyon, but I remember seeing the cover everywhere when it first dropped. Those initial 7 years were an absolutely wild Ride.

Looks like Death Grips are finally working on new material! Thought it'd never happen at this point. For reference, it has been 2693 days since their last album, and the entire span of their original run (first EP to last album) was 2663 days.

One of my favorite things about black metal is that when the song's about to kick in, you never know if you're gonna get hit with hyperspeed blastbeats that sound like they were recorded in or with a tin can, or the most beautiful lament you've ever heard in your life.

deer in my yard

trick or treat bro come to the door bro we promise we won't jump you

I'm really, really happy to see how Chat Pile have been evolving. Their extremely unexpected collaboration with Hayden Pedigo of all people is the best record I've heard from either artist, and the (+-) experiments were really fresh as well.

RIP to a king. It says a lot that Ninja Gaiden 2004 and its sequel were two of the few games that actually rivaled DMC. They're very uneven games (and Itagaki had very uneven output) but the soul they had burned bright, and continues to do so even after his has left us.

One thing I've noticed is that it seems like the best visual designers around seem to work specifically on band tour/concert posters. I wonder if it's a case of something like there being less oversight and more artistic freedom? Or just a matter of art quantity?

Happy 25th anniversary to Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! One of the trailblazers of modern post-rock and one that very few have ever outdone. youtu.be/5eF6hNLp8IQ

Managed to find enough time between everything to make another 10 Piranesi. pieces. This batch is quite an extreme one, featuring the darkest, silliest, most intense and even sentimental pieces in the entire catalogue so far. www.youtube.com/@piranesi.pr... piranesiproject.bandcamp.com

Preorders for ”Tennis, Everyone?” vinyl and cassette are now up. As always, both are fairly small batches, so if you want one, you should grab one sooner than later! shatterfoilindustries.bandcamp.com/album/tennis...

Really enjoyed Caput Mortum. Short, punchy Amnesia/Penumbra style horror puzzler. Neat alchemy-based plot and novel mechanics that don't overstay their welcome. The "pre-standardization" style control scheme took a bit of getting used to, meaning it works as intended.

This felt appropriate

I haven't yet listened to Geese, but considering they just dropped one of the greatest album covers of all time, I feel I ought to.

Fish in my pond

My standalone breakcore/drill and bass album, "Tennis, Everyone?" — A Tribute to the Late, Great James O. Incandenza, is coming out on both vinyl and cassette! Pre-orders start next friday. This will be the only pressing of the vinyl, so if you want one, make sure to grab one.

Can't stop thinking about this fucked up groove

Had a lot of fun with Ramon & Jessica's Roses Are Blue. Group a capella in the style of minimalist classical but with such a saccharine sense of childlike glee that it's hard to not get swept up in it (if you don't find it really annoying). youtu.be/b_9SYJpKHz8

Personal ranking of movies that are just people in a room talking: 1. 12 Angry Men (1957) 2. The Man From Earth (2007) 3. The Sunset Limited (2011) 4. My Dinner With Andre (1981) 5. Conspiracy (2001) 6. The Exterminating Angel (1962) 7. Yannick (2023) (I liked all of them)

Absolutely buckwild that the Coen brothers just Had It from the start. While watching their debut, Blood Simple, I was kept on the edge of my seat thinking ”damn, they picked an amazing screenplay” only to get to credits and find out they also wrote it. Incredible thriller!

Watched Tragedy of Man (2011), absolute monolith of an animated film. Adam, Eve and Lucifer wax philosophical about the nature of man with each time period animated in an appropriate style, produced over the course of 23 years. Exhausting, sometimes sublime, always impressive.

Played through Returnal on a whim and had a very good time. I don't really like rogueli(k/t)es, but this kept me engaged thanks to a very intriguing story and good combat (also since I played KB&M, I only died twice at the very start, so the permadeath didn't really affect me)

With the exceptions of Rats Nest, San Francisco '16, & Chunky Shrapnel, the ENTIRE King Gizzard discography is currently available for free/name your price on Bandcamp. Unsure if this is an intentional move, but I'm sure we'll hear from the band soon. kinggizzard.bandcamp.com #KingGizzard #kglw

After a short "Tennis, Everyone?" break, Piranesi. has returned and is now halfway up to a hundred. www.youtube.com/@piranesi.pr... piranesiproject.bandcamp.com

Sometimes all you want is some pummeling drums and thick riffs with 0 subtlety or nuance, and Hexekration Rites' debut album delivers exactly that youtu.be/SO151iR5j6o

As heard on the previous teaser, here is the WIP preview version of the 8-2 song, "No Devil Lived On". Compositionally complete, but not yet recorded. #screenshotsaturday youtu.be/ep2dV_UmMP4

Big ups to Cave Sermon's Fragile Wings, my favorite riffs of the year so far are undoubtedly all from this album, placed alongside some unexpectedly touching melodic sections. Didn't expect his songwriting to improve so much in just a year. youtu.be/O90ySka6sWA

One of life's great pleasures is being able to watch Harakiri (1962) blind, and another of life's great pleasures is being able to rewatch Harakiri (1962) with someone who's going in blind. The way that story gradually unravels is so masterfully woven.

"Tennis, Everyone?" is now going up on streaming services. Since music can't be unmonetized on these platforms, I've had to replace the movie samples with ones from public domain films. I consider these versions inferior, but it's either that or nothing on streaming.

repost from my tumblr :) happy birthday hakita

Hi happy @hakita.bsky.social birthday :) Thank you for the work you do and the art you share

Been thinking about Thantifaxath's Solar Witch lately... Who even uses tempo like this? It's so cool.

I made the album art for @hakita.bsky.social 's new album "Tennis, Everyone?"

Out now on Bandcamp (for free!) and Youtube BC: heavenpierceher.bandcamp.com/album/tennis... YT: youtu.be/nZoteImDLXM

New standalone album coming out this Friday on Bandcamp and Youtube (streaming later), titled: "Tennis, Everyone?" — A Tribute to the Late, Great James O. Incandenza Breakcore, drill and bass, and a bunch of other subgenres of intense electronic music. 9 tracks, 36 minutes.

Surviving the heat

I'm a late adopter but I figured I should pitch in too

I keep forgetting this song exists and then randomly getting flashbanged by how awesome this groove is

Watched The Fall (2006) and man, this is what an expensive movie is actually supposed to look like. Absolute feast for the eyes, so creative and full of shameless expression.

Pre-orders are up now: retracrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/satans...

Satan's Tango is getting released on vinyl! Pre-orders will be going up this Friday.

Exodus 4:24-26 After God gives Moses the mission to save his people from Egypt and Moses starts making his way there, God then reappears to try to kill Moses, but his wife cuts off their son's foreskin and then touches his "feet" with it and so God leaves. yeah sure ok why not

I wanted to feel worse last night so I finally watched Vortex by Gaspar Noé, which was so much more difficult to endure than the actual horror movie I watched beforehand. Dementia in a dysfunctional family filmed from 2 simultaneous perspectives. Very good, extremely heavy.

Make a claustrophobic friend watch Haze (2005, dir. Shinya Tsukamoto), they’ll hate you forever but it will be funny
