R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.

Farewell to French composer Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonate—slowly, endlessly—like a tone that never quite fades.

Excellent review for Autechre Guitar in the new Uncut mag. Friday is release day!

Surprised he found someone to do the job tbh

Show me something more perfect. You can’t x

There must be some strata of rock stars that, on balance, still would have rather been in the Epstein photos than not, even now.

When I paid my annual subscription for “Force-feeding the British public Peter Mandelson’s sleaze in ten easy steps,”, I did not expect that the British public would then be force-fed Mandelson’s sleaze. This is an outrage and a tragedy

Is there a simple small device that plugs into a smartphone that offers both an integrated single wireless lav mic AND an analog stereo input... and has some kind of mix capability before it hits the phones video audio input?

All loose parts have reduced prices until the end of January at Thonk.co.uk Knobs, pots, jacks, switches, chips and more.

Workshop workshops, ensembles, free and open cards doing all kinds of stuff (mungling! granular!), Workshop System in a browser, and a whole lot more. @tomwhitwell.bsky.social was generous in summing up all the goodness from the world of his creation, and I cribbed his notes:

He's the Prince Andrew we should have had

Everytime I see or hear Wes Streeting I think of this comment from the inimitable Dawn Foster

Morrissey could never

Reliable UK online store for second hand phones for teenagers anyone? Loads of places seem to have bad reviews of cheap battery replacements that turn bad after 3 months.

I really like Mark Fell and so am very excited to hear about the new "National Centre for Mark Fell Studies" :)

If you see this QRT with a game released the year you were born.

Incredible quality 🤯 Apparently a 4k scan of the original film. youtu.be/trXegBAZ8_g?...

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer. This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Things are looking up at Thonk HQ

Hey UK, we waited so long for 'the adults back in charge' didn't we. high five to us all 🖐

The adults are back in charge

Chicago keeping art alive:

This will never not be hilarious. Thanks YouTube algo youtu.be/O9l3bLAx4Ng?...

Anyone else noticed how demented the Airbnb AI is? (Yes I'm a bad man using Airbnb)

I was just telling myself, "No more music gear." I hate ignoring myself but one more time won't matter.

It’s ICE and the cops, you dipshits

It would be a shame if Musk and Trump do make up, but if they do, i'd like to see the other eye blackened when he next appears in the Oval Office.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

@thonksynth.bsky.social This t03 vca is a classic. Amazing design and easy build. Thank you

Statistics reveal 100 million more ants in the UK in a boost to Rachel Reeves. But wait, oh no! Reports reveal Chicken Tikka Masala is 2.1% down in a disappointing rebuke to Rachel Reeves.

Your choice represents no choice whatsoever. A system of interchangeable neoliberal zealots on either side of the house, pursuing demonstrably useless policies with increasingly brutal vigour. Faithfully protecting the establishment and taking yet more from those with the nothing left to give.

I think wise.com win the STUPIDEST use of 'AI' so far. They're a service to make bank payments, and they're suggesting random versions of previous reference numbers for you. A bit like your telephone suggesting random numbers a bit like the ones in your contact list that you might want to call.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

What is this cable? The white core looks plastic but feels cold/metal.

A small thing in light of this shitty news, but it would be lovely if today were the day this GoFundMe for TWIN PEAKS actor Carel Struycken and his wife, who lost their home in the Eaton Fire, reached its target www.gofundme.com/f/support-ca...

No more talking

😢

Seems we've handed control of the country to a set of power-hungry, inhuman entities that maintain the appearance of propriety and respectability while fabricating dangerous, delusional nonsense that they're incapable of understanding, let alone believing.
