Pixel Grip was murderous last night at Lee’s Palace in Toronto. Rita was twenty feet tall barking commands you couldn’t refuse.

If you’re as much a fan of listening to artists talk about process and influence as I am, you do bit want to skip this truly amazing interview on the new episode of WHaT. Brilliant stuff all around.

Los Angeles provocateurs Patriarchy have a lot more going for them than their image on their latest LP. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/10/07/p...

ID:UD’s Monday Tracks post incoming!

Another fine choice for your Bandcamp Friday dollars awaits…

Brief takes on new releases from Access to Arasaka and Trepaneringsritualen.

Looking at my last few posts, it seems my brain to hand link has got a few bars missing in the hamster wheel. *sigh*

Bandcamp Friday! New Seeming announced! Go get it! This is your list almost sentences as commands.

I have a lengthy treatise that is far too big to elaborate on this platform. I will say that ethics aside, artists may find a way to utilize AI as any another tool available to them. That said, the argument that AI democratizes art is both insulting and dismissive of the work artists have to do.

He will tell his tale…

I'm going to be extra twitchy until those Nine Inch Nails tickets go on sale next week....

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.” ~ Oscar Wilde⠀ ⠀ Resting Place.⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Having had the pleasure of seeing them twice within six months this year, I can say Chameleons are just as alive and vital as they’ve ever been and this new record just underscores the point.

A lovely bunch of tracks are now up for your attention and consideration on ID:UD’s Monday Tracks post. Check them out or risk missing out.

Real Cardinal joins us to discuss Comaduster's new LP "Memory Echoes" track by track. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/09/28/w...

The third album from UK duo Promenade Cinema offers a clutch of elegantly balanced but dramatically delivered darkwave/electropop tunes.

Looking back at Bowie's Outside and Walker's Tilt, both released 30 years ago, Ned Raggett says the pair might not have met but the energy of respect and influence travelled between them in strange ways Many Happy Returns to #DavidBowie's Outside, which turns 30 today! buff.ly/U85ffvs

My overriding feeling regarding any new NIN work is that it is what it is. Like others they've reached a place where a review seems kind of pointless as it tends to be a comparison not to other works in the field at large, but other work in their own ouvre. Is it NIN and how much like NIN is it?

So Modele and House of Harm annihilated the Dance Cave on Monday night in Toronto. Here are clips of Modele’s “Dangerous Girl” and HoH’s “Isolator”.

Rhys Fulber's new LP finds the producer exploring both his influences and his classic and modern approaches to inspiring effect. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/09/24/r...

I see Jimmy Kimmel was put back on the air. Perhaps Trump would like some Tylenol….

Addressing Arcana, they seem to fit in well both with bands like Dead Can Dance and ITN, but would also slot in well on a bill with say, Heilung. Given that, where does that latter band and similar fall in terms of being part of that scene? If it is or isn't, why or why not? Anyway, listen in.

HIDE's spleen is vented in some new yet still abrasive and noisy directions on a new EP. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/09/16/h...

"It was our manager’s idea to put Deepak [Khazanchi, santoor] and Dinesh [Pandit, tablas] on ‘Living On The Ceiling’ even though it’s a Middle Eastern melody. It’s a geographical nonsense!" R.I.P. Stephen Luscombe of #Blancmange buff.ly/22haNPK

Tracks, freshly served! No Coke, just Pepsi.

Clare Blackwood, folks. Accept no paltry, faltering substitutes.

Vancouver and all things industrial, as delicious a confectionary pairing as chocolate and peanut butter, are on offer in this week’s episode WHaT.

As it's World Suicide Prevention Day, here are some useful numbers should you need them. Oh, and if you don't, check on your friends and loved ones who might. Ask if they're okay. Listen if they're talking. They're often not looking for solutions but simply someone to hear them.

Portland darkwave project Dancing Plague's new LP shows off their economy, and their grave melodrama. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/09/09/d...

New tunes from Trepaneringsritualen, Rosegarden Funeral Party, Sunshine Blind, Black Dahlia, Android Lust, and T.O.Y.

New @androidlust.bsky.social!!! Go spend some money on Bandcamp!

Every Time I Failed You is the track that took years to get out of me. Logan (of Cygnets fame) did me the absolute honor of providing vocals for it. I can't believe how well it turned out and getting this right was so important to me. On streaming now and on BC presales. ❤

We're discussing records by The Dust Of Basement and Dive on this week's podcast. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/09/04/w...

School opens again tomorrow; this week’s Tracks Post starts your education early.

This may be a hot take but I enjoy this album more than anything the Sisters ever put out.

Goddamn Varoshi Fame!

Without delving into too much already covered territory, if Wings of Desire is responsible for The Goo’s Iris and therefore must be punished, then praise can be laid upon Un Chien Andalou for the video for Breath from Another by Esthero; a far, far better song.

The sound and themes of the second incarnation of goth rock legends Rosetta Stone continues to come into focus. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/08/27/r...

Look! A fresh batch of tasty tracks for you to devour. No raisins, I promise.

We're discussing both of the new records by Street Sects. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/08/21/w...

Comaduster returns with a complex and emotional album that takes the project's mixture of IDM, post-rock and bass music into still more stunning forms. www.idieyoudie.com/2025/08/20/c...

Spark! pay off the anticipation for the reunion of the Swedish EBM act's original line-up.

Tracks Poooooossssst!

Spent a full five minutes after showering hopelessly looking for the shirts I was sure I'd brought with me into the bathroom when, standing in front of the vanity mirror, it became apparent I was wearing them. This does not bode well.

Absolute banger.

New WHaT! Sleek Teeth! Oh, and those Nine Inch Nailses too. Check it out!
