this piece, "Helix", from Iranian musician Sote broke my brain. I appreciate that. sote-etos.bandcamp.com/track/helix #sote

The Señor Coconut mix of Nurse With Wound's "(I don't want to have) Easy Listening Nightmares" is really nice. It manages to capture the spirit of both projects in a really slick way. I am impressed. #NurseWithWound #SenorCoconut #AtomHeart #AliceTheGoon

In my search for other interesting musicians from Dublin/Ireland that I might enjoy, I landed on Stano. #Stano #Dublin

Penal Colony. There was a time when we used to chase this band around. I am sure we drove them mad. They seemed so unique and intense. I think in some ways they were. But I feel like everything I liked about them got swallowed by production by the time the music was released. #PenalColony

Hell Interface bleed through effect <3 @boardsofcanada.bsky.social #HellInterface #BoardsOfCanada

over the years, many times, I have thought to myself a track sounds nice, only to learn it is The Field or mixed by The Field. That sometimes-seemingly boring repetitiveness creeps in, in the best of ways. #TheField

Music (?!) I am not sure what the audience for this would be, but I have a current fascination with Xinlisupreme and Lua Trilogy! Definitely on the noisy/overstimulation/saturation side of things. #xinlisupreme #luaTrilogy @luatrilogy.bsky.social

Arguably, one of my favorite slices of music was the mid-to-late 90s output of the label Plug Research. So many ideas bumping around in that music. #plugResearch

this song continuously resonates. #UseKnife

Saw SPRINTS last night for the final show of their US tour. I think going in I wanted a heavier, maybe more introspective and angsty show. but... #sprints

This strange 1981+ album may be my favorite holiday album. It has 8 editions, all with variations, with the later version being from 2017. I noticed a version on Bandcamp as well (which seems to have an extra song or two?)

This is a pretty wild ride. "A striking collision of East Africa’s trance-inducing polyrhythmic traditions and modernist dub practice... where Uganda’s Nakibembe Embaire Group shared the stage with Japanese live dub sorcerer Naoyuki Uchida" #NyegeNyegeTapes #NakibemebeEmbaireGroup #NaoyukiUchida

A whole series of releases from the amazing Si Begg includes this PSA. Series, on Bandcamp, is called "LOL I DON'T CARE OR HOW WE SOLD OUR KIDS TO SILICON VALLEY OR WELCOME TO THE NARCISSISM ENGINE" @sibegg.bsky.social

Some friends out there might appreciate this. There is a 15 minute documentary on Muslimgauze called "ELEKTRONİK İNTİFADA". #muslimgauze

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

#seattle #NoKings

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
