Sad to hear about the passing of David Thomas of Pere Ubu. Seeing a HyperCard-based Pere Ubu interactive project in the early '90s was an influence on the original HyperCard version of Chaos Control. Years later, I got to ask him about it: “I love HyperCard. It’s a real crime they dropped it.”

Anne Bandez (aka Little Annie / Annie Anxiety) has a new compilation of past collabs with artists like Marc Almond, Coil, Swans, and Kid Congo Powers—mournful torch songs, abstract electronics, and experimental lounge. Interview: https://chaoscontrol.com/little-annie-with-interview/

A weird ChatGPT hallucination - I was having it to pull details from an extensive interview I did with Eddy Grant a while back, and it said this video was stop-motion? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxep...

I interviewed Belouis Some last year in anticipation of a tour with The Alarm that ultimately did not happen due to Mike Peters discovering that his cancer had returned. However, Belouis Some will finally be returning for U.S. shows this year. chaoscontrol.com/belouis-some...

Here is an interview I recently did with Rob B of Stereo MC's. chaoscontrol.com/rob-b-stereo...

I'm getting a new Stereo MC's interview ready to post, and was reminded of how amazing this song is. Personally, I think it's better than any of the 'hits.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcKS...

I was experimenting with Sora to try to create a little holiday video for my family. I was trying to make penguins representing us, with ceramics as the focus (as my wife is an amazing ceramic artist). I specifically requested no humans, but...

Interesting listening to @economist.com trying out "a third-party text-to-speech AI service" for some article audio-editions. It's pretty good, but seemed a bit flat and the pacing is sometimes weird. And it annoyingly occasionally says "dot" or "comma"!

I got the game "Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley" as part of a bundle and am pleasantly surprised at how fun (and beautiful looking) it is. I love the integration of short animations to move the story along (long cut scenes in other games drive me crazy!) store.steampowered.com/app/1808680/...

This is one of my favorite interviews I did for the (sadly now defunct) Please Kill Me website. I first saw Gail with Gang of Four (opening for Sisters of Mercy and Public Enemy!) and was thrilled to see her join Bowie's band a few years later. pleasekillme.com/playing-bass...

Nine Ways to Win "Close To You," one of my favorite (now) obscure 80's synth-pop songs. I saw it once on MTV and for years wasn't able to track it down, but then if finally appeared on digital platforms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sny...

Here is a quick email interview I did with En Esch about his latest solo album. chaoscontrol.com/en-esch-inte...

Somehow one of the cookies my son decorated evolved into Carnage (yes, I realize it's early but I love gingerbread!)

Neneh Cherry’s “A Thousand Threads” is really one of the most interesting music memoirs that I’ve read. I’ve been a fan since “Raw Like Sushi” but somehow knew little about her early career. And I’d forgotten about her association with Massive Attack!

I did this interview the day after Thanksgiving in 1992, after meeting Trent Reznor on the Prodigy online service. He was working on The Downward Spiral at the time and not doing press, but made an exception for my ezine! chaoscontrol.com/nine-inch-na...
