Proposal for a universal emoji filing system: Filing system for an optimist archivist 😀 😢 😡 (Smiles on top!) Filing system for a pessimist archivist 😀 😢 😡 (It’s all going to shit)

Boys and girls at play.

There’s $30 tix (plus $14 in fees) for Cindy Lee at Massey Hall tonight

Thundercrack in Toronto! It’s been a while since Kuchar and McDowell graced our screens! A wild classic…

Swing and a miss…

I’m a Los Bros Hernandez fan, but not when they play for the Dodgers.

Autechre Sphere residency when?

Like a sidereal nod to Black Light District, the voices bubbled up on the far side of coherence. I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was Autechre at their most political, the cacophony of the current moment, the digital daemonic noise around us struggling to take form.

Heard a lot of vocal cadences in the Autechre show. Nowhere close to recognizable words, but floating language rhythms.

If you’re obsessively on Blue Sky, you’re doomscolding.

Rob and Sean greeted at the border tomorrow. “Welcome Autechr-eh?”

Letting my pet chimpanzee borrow my typewriter today to see if he can predict the Autechre set list.

It’s days like today that I get jealous of Europe. In Canada, no one would rob a museum.

People aren’t doing a good job keeping this updated!

I keep telling friends, “see you at the Autechre show!” and then realizing that no, that’s technically not true.

Posting this in honour of Krasznahorkai winning then Nobel Prize in Literature. May his sentences never stop: youtu.be/4UXpmvu35Fk

it's crazy how fast movies become dated. for instance, the 2021 movie "Don't Look Up" no longer makes sense, because if an American scientist discovered a planet-killing comet heading towards us today, their main response would be "oh thank fuck for that"

nice piece on ken jacobs from the times. no firewall www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/m...

Happy release day for an album of (Jonathan) Swiftian proportions. #CDFriday

Was wondering why the Indian film THEY CALL HIM OG disappeared from the Toronto Cineplex theatres it was originally scheduled to play in and, lo and behold, another vandalism incident for the files: toronto.citynews.ca/2025/09/26/o...

There’s a renewed interest in miniDV camcorders and with that comes the realization that you can’t drag and drop the recorded footage through the firewire cable.

Always a tough choice: Do I follow the Autechre tour on setlist.fm this month in anticipation, or allow myself to be completely surprised by what they play when I see them at the end of the month.

When re-releases like this appear, do record stores just hide their dollar bin copies?

Gen Xers had “sell-out” Gen Z has “over-rated” Gen X at least had the semblance that there might be money in the game; for Gen Z, there’s only the clicks.

Showed the kid STYLE WARS last night. Every so often he would ask, “is that Keith Haring”?

A Lake Story by Melissa McGill Another beautiful public performance supported by @thebentway.bsky.social

Another sign of the decline in education is that kids used to write full manifestos and now they can barely even fill up a bullet casing.

You know you’re an aging cinephile when you wonder why everyone is posting about the Parent Teacher Association

Trying to decide between the 1 LP version, the 2 LP version or the 5 CD version of “One Size Fits All”

LOL

Releasing the Larry Norman boxset on the same day as the rapture is bad timing from a marketing perspective.

GWAR is back in the news. I’m pretty impressed with Blöthar the Berserker’s ability to stay relevant. Unusually media savvy for a supercentenarian.

The end of the world will come at midnight — 12:30 Newfoundland. #CanadianRapture

Mika Vainio is becoming the RobertØ BolanØ of minimal techno. (I also scarfed up Bolano’s books)

Flicks I’m showing include a Keiji Haino portrait, a 35mm film about the suspended monorail in Wuppertal and WATCHING THE DETECTIVES, a film about social media witch hunts (a rare phenomenon nowadays, thankfully)

For those in Upstate New York, I’m showing my films at Colgate University soon: Alternative Cinema: Time in Transit: Films by Chris Kennedy Tuesday, September 23, 2025 6:30 Little Hall, 105 (Golden Auditorium), Hamilton, NY 13346, USA

Might need to add him to a database and contact his employers

Feeling the gift of someone we can collectively grieve.

Funny that there’s a book called The Road Between Us on the Giller Long List. I can’t imagine the author has been enjoying the recent controversy that the film (of a different subject) has generated.

If the USA had the same level of gun control as practically every other nation on earth, the children of Sandy Hook would now be old enough to consider whether or not to attend the American Comeback tour at their local university over the next few weeks

Next year it’s gonna be confusing which anniversary we’re marking.

Both sites are like “imagine what it’s like on the other one”

Today is a day to see the new Sky Hopinka and Sergei Loznitsa films. I first saw early films by both of them years ago at @mediacityfilmfest.bsky.social

I’m into reading a “50/50”: fifty 50-year olds who may or may not have contributed anything… only time will tell if their innovations actually take hold…

I’ll give this Thursday a 3.25 Last Thursday was a 3.66 because there was slightly better light through the window and a follower actually liked my tweet. Cumulative average of Thursdays among my friend group is 3.42

“I would like this one better if I hadn’t seen that other very different piece of work that made my experience of this one bounce further down my life list”.

I really don’t understand the need to rate art and experiences.

At about 4.10pm on this day 54 years ago, something weird started happening on Scottish Television. There was no announcement, and no credit was given to the person who had created them, but strange short films suddenly started popping up in the schedules youtu.be/AA9IdHtHk_0?...

Can Artificial Intelligence be Materialist?

BLUE HERON. Check it out.
