Mohol mať @miloshroch.bsky.social čítačku Šeptej nahlas o českom shoegaze na festivale s lepšou témou ako je Väzbi? Na Braku čítal v Rómerovom dome do gitáry a efektov Obelisk of Light obeliskoflight.bandcamp.com. Jeden z highlightov tohtoročného BRaKu, spolu s “detskou Pecha-Kucha” na dvore MMB

Denmark has no shortage of songwriting and production talent: Efterklang, Smerz, Quadron. Erika de Casier is from Portugal, lives in Copenhagen and knows how to use her voice and production skills. Her new album Lifetime is wrapped in lush trip-hop beats erikadecasier.bandcamp.com/album/lifetime

This was a fun interview, and @ianwilloughby.bsky.social had serious questions about my Czech shoegaze book. We were trying to figure out why shoegaze symbolised the rupture after the 1989 revolution, and the year zero was soundtracked by massive guitar distortion. english.radio.cz/it-was-year-...

Just got my hands on this fresh-off-the-press book by the great @miloshroch.bsky.social. He’s throwing light at the czech shoegaze movement from the after-velvet-revolution times which got recognition around/beyond Europe. Extract from the book on @thequietus.com thequietus.com/culture/book...

Blunt question: How far does Zuck have to go until you delete your Insta / FB account? I understand how these might be embedded in some aspects of your social life or information feeds, I was in the same position. But keeping the accounts will be soon get as unbearable as keeping Twitter.

Maria Somerville’s selection and soothing voice on NTS Early Bird Show always makes my day. Her new album Luster comming up on @4ad.com fits the label but isn’t confined with the dream pop and shoegaze tags. Have a listen mariasomerville.bandcamp.com/album/luster

I’ve only finished the first chapter but I can tell that @lizpelly.bsky.social take on the music streaming giant is a book everyone who cares about music deeply should read. Based on journalistic practice and interviews, it has the potential to spread widely.

Great @theanimalturn.bsky.social podcast with @jprior.bsky.social on recording ants with contact microphones, The World Soundscape Project, sound-walking and other sonic methods like field recording used for geography, rewilding and nature restoration www.theanimalturnpodcast.com/s4-animals-a...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Ukrainians have rallied behind Volodymyr Zelenskyy after his mauling on Friday in the White House, and have accused Donald Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, of deliberately and cynically “starting a brawl”. My piece from Kyiv www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

This. And the massive amounts of energy needed to run it are the biggest shadows that loom above AI. Apart from the extractivist nature of the energy production, many of the well known models have been fed by content extracted from the commons and/or IP content.

You can’t make this up,this is wilder than fiction. I’ve been reading some of the CCRU texts on jungle in the 90s,unaware of the accelerationst overdrive that followed. I’ve only found out some years ago that Land is something of a influencer in the US tech-right open.substack.com/pub/ecstatic...

Time to evict AirBnB from your life, if you have't already.

Pokud voláte po silnější Evropě, můžeme na ní pracovat hned teď. Jen je dobré si uvědomit, že z politického pohledu to znamená federalizaci, zavedení většinového hlasování a masivní investice do armády a obranného průmyslu. Plus plnou diverzifikaci od ruských energií,

I came for the architecture, stayed for the epic movie. This review sums up my impressions of The Brutalist (although the movie is slipping at times with dubious twists). It was worth the three hours in an fabulous late 80s cinema among prefabs, enjoying the break in this moody bar.

Curious to see how this will turn out. The rate at which clubs around the world are closing down is alarming, some of the changes have been summed up well in Jim Otewill in Out Of Space velocitypress.uk/product/out-...

💚 vytvoriť tím trvalo viac ako 10 rokov, na zničenie stačí 5 mesiacov. Ale vďaka open-source niektoré z projektov snáď prežijú aj tento nájazd lúzy, len to už bude niekde inde 😔
