Digging the music of NKISI today. New to me, though what I have been listening to is a 1+ years old. Also, I feel like I need to publicly admit I enjoyed a Viagra Boys song. I am not proud of this.

I am a day late, but yesterday was the passing of one of my favorite vocalists/musicians/artists: John Balance. He died on November 13, 2004. This song #RestlessDay is a personal favorite, it's simple and I think a little charming. #johnBalance #jhonBalance #coil

Get lost in a little calm. I feel like this album is a continuous gift, did not know it was so recent (2025) @intlanthem.bsky.social #GregoryUhlmann #JoshJohnson #SamWilkes

A new piece from Makaya McCraven I have been really enjoying. The upcoming album (collection of 4 EPs?) from drummer #MakayaMcCraven (and band) on @intlanthem.bsky.social is really, really nice.

A bit of smokey, thinking-friendly jazz... for dark corner dwellers? #MakayaMcCraven @intlanthem.bsky.social

Finally getting through the massive historical audio document of Byrn Jone's work prior to #muslimgauze as E.g Oblique Graph. #EgObliqueGraph #BrynJones - Complete Oblique 1980-1983 #VinylOnDemand It's a lot... but so well worth it to hear hints of what would be (and never was)

October 18, No Kings. X

The opening to this Nurse With Wound performance/album is so good. #NurseWithWound

KATU TV, a Sinclair-owned Portland station, has started broadcasting a livestream of the ICE building to let viewers decide if what is happening warrants a military presence. I just turned on the livestream and this is what I saw. katu.com/watch

The world needs more ornery escalators and teleprompters right now.

This 2023 Use Knife song has very strong #Coil vibes. And the band pull their name from a #Current93 lyric. One of the members is heavily influenced by #Muslimgauze. I guess it makes sense why I love it. #UseKnife

This song from Belgium-Iraqi trio Use Knife is so good. Definitely for fans of #industrial and grittier #techno. Heavy, distorted. I could have this on repeat for quite a while. useknife.bandcamp.com/track/iraqi-... #UseKnife

It's probably not a good sign that I take it personally when my AI "partner" programmer goes rogue.

Something about this piece of music it really pulled me in. It's very easy to listen to, but I find it very thoughtful and... deep? I am trying to sort out the mood... whatever the mood, I like it because I like how this song makes me feel. #SamWilkes #CraigWeinrib #DylanDay #StandingInTheDoorway

this song always massages (to the point of reprogramming?) my brain... there is just something beautifully uneasy and deep about it. #coil

The dull military broods in front of my right wing https://www.wikiart.org/en/max-ernst/the-dull-military-broods-in-front-of-my-right-wing-1975

This is wild!

oh, there is a Muqata'a - مُقاطعة Boiler Room set from Palestine. 6 years ago. I have been really enjoying the music of Muqata'a (one album in particular), and while I have only skimmed this, it seems nice, though sparse (part of what I like about his music). #Muqata'a #muqataa

A beautiful contrast to the cruel political world and wonderful morning music from Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer. Unfortunately the full release is not available to stream yet, but this record has been lovely. Soft, drifting, easy to focus with. Lovely cover as well. @intlanthem.bsky.social

ahh. thanks good people.

People really need to understand stochastic terrorism.

Marched with 70k people today (Seattle Times estimate) #nokings #seattle

Music I have been (re)exploring and enjoying recently: 1. Ran Slavin. He was a favorite in my past, and a recent revisit really does not change that. An amazing electronic music producer from Israel...

"illegal" is such a nasty term. As if human worth is defined by borders.

SPRINTS are a band that I keep listening to. Their music is so visceral, so wonderful LOUD. This song is a great example. sprintsmusic.bandcamp.com/track/heavy #SPRINTS

While waiting for my drink in Port Townsend's wonderful #BetterLivingThroughCoffee, I heard a lovely groove that immediately made me think of (not quite) @boardsofcanada.bsky.social ... dark, deep, simple. #9lazy9

I was of course already uneasy++ about deportations, but the sliding window edging towards citizens is... a lot to process. Again, monsters.

I saw that Jed (The Fish, of KROQ fame) passed away. Jed was such a fixture in my youth, and so much fun. He and his crew were always so nice when we'd all call in. #jedthefish

Seattle. Thinking I will join this small protest tomorrow/Thursday afternoon in South Lake Union (4:15-5:15pm) These Tesla protests are pretty chill. Hang out on the public sidewalk, hold up a sign, enjoy the honking, dismiss a few fingers. actionnetwork.org/events/tesla... #teslatakedown

feels appropriate today. @bunnymen.com #yoyo

keeping my brain and heart calm with this amazing album from Jeff Parker ETA IVtet intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/the-wa... #jeffparker @intlanthem.bsky.social

<3 <3

Cindytalk's 'Camouflage Heart' (1984) is quite intense and unique. I cannot think of other albums like it. Incredibly sharp and piercing. If you have not heard it, and you enjoy heavier sounds, post punk, noise... @cindytalk.bsky.social #cindytalk

This was well worth a watch. I know little about @govpritzker.illinois.gov, but what I have heard him say here and elsewhere lately has been refreshing. We need more voices like this right now. #WhatWeDoAndDontDoMatters

Spent a bit of the morning with lovely people, wonderful repeated honking, and a few middle fingers. Seemed like ~75, though we had to leave early and folks seemed to be arriving. If you drive by, honk to show support! It matters. #teslatakedown #teslatakedownrenton

I agree! This SML show was fantastic! Really, really worth the time. Their bass player, Anna Butterss, has become a favorite-- the SML release and her two releases are essential IMO. @intlanthem.bsky.social #sml #annabutterss

"Here in the Seattle area, we have 8 protests planned for March 29. And what's been so great is that every week we see more people come out. More people want to step up and help. More people want to be part of this movement." @valeriecosta.bsky.social #teslatakedown

"I wanted to talk a little bit about fear. I took about 24 hours after Elon tweeted lies about me. I was scared. So I talked with an attorney. I thought about it. And I decided 'I'm gonna fight back.' He's trying to squash the voice of the people." @valeriecosta.bsky.social #teslatakedown

This release from #chocofriendz is a really fun, cute, easy listen. Collection of covers. Unsurprisingly I found it searching for #coil covers, the version of "Restless Day" is great.

This is a beautiful release. Garek was an amazing artist, and this collab as A Story Of Rats is lovely. eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/though...

where’re we at here?

Seattle: SML will be here on Thursday (Tractor)... perhaps some peeps out there would appreciate their music... it seems like they would shine live! This is a link to their album that I so love. intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/small-... #sml , @intlanthem.bsky.social

Tesla Takedown - South Lake Union Tesla Showroom, Saturdays 10am - 12pm This is the link for this Saturday, 3/15, but they have been doing each Saturday and plan to continue actionnetwork.org/events/tesla... #teslatakedown #seattle

monsters on the shoulders of monsters warmed by the cheering of their next meal

Just listened to this new @robinrimbaud.bsky.social & #nursewithwound release, it is very, very good. Made a nice droney morning ☕. Curious: I have an older Nurse With Wound album called 'Contrary Motion' that was part of (several) limited runs. Putting that on now, curious what the connection is.

ASMR: Resist When I read/heard/watched the White House's tweet titled "ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight" I was appalled, and for good reason. The video clearly made light of, and fetishized, the shackling and deportation of human beings.

I saw that Garek Druss (@garek.bsky.social) has passed away. I am really sad over this. I did not know Garek beyond seeing him at his shows and around when he lived in Seattle, but I greatly admired him. From what I could tell, he was a genuine artist in all respects and equally a genuine human.

Been enjoying @seanagarrison.bsky.social 's work! This one feels like the title to me.
