Just getting around to reading this @metalabel.bsky.social joint. squad.metalabel.com/acf2026?vari...

"Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a planet where the sound of rain falling is like Bach?” This quote from Oliver Sacks via Bill Hayes (Insomniac City) is resonating now as I sit in a cabin in the northwest coast rainforest.

It’s true. I’ve detected zero fuckery in my use of it. I love the clarity of the design objective. Lean, beautiful and functional.

@jamesreeves.co The first few Spiteful tinkerings...

Absolutely heartbroken to learn of the passing of the singular, inimitable Eliane Radigue. I have everything to say and nothing to say so I'll simply pass along this link to an interview I gave on Eliane and her work. She is now, officially, eternal. www.museoreinasofia.es/en/radio/son...

it’s twin peaks day ☕

Happy Birthday, Ms. Simone. ✨💙✨

Momentum is building in support of this motion from @seanorr.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social on the agenda next week at City Hall. Let's make sure we keep ICE out of Vancouver. Sign up to speak to Council: vancouver.ca/your-governm...

A studio staple at the minute. ✨🎧✨ album.link/ca/i/1823677...

Happy Birthday dearest Sakamoto San. ✨💙✨

Completely obsessed with this Trio Ramberget record. Midwinter perfection straight out of Gothenburg. 💙 album.link/TrioRamberget

Hey @hinderson.com — top of the season!! Curious—have you considered a simple like button for releases in addition to ratings? For people like me who don’t rate records but still like to show some love?

Lots of great new adds to my annual Holiday Snow Globe playlist since the initial drop this year! She’s now weighing in at 658 tracks / 35h and 34m. ✌️✨❄️ #musicsky #christmas davidcrompton.net/snowglobe

Just dropped the 16th edition of my holiday playlist. This years’ collection weighed-in at 632 songs/34 hours of hand selected music at release. Enjoy! ✌️✨💙 buttondown.com/crompsy/arch... #Music #Christmasmusic #HolidaySnowGlobe

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Indeed. In this house too.

For the record, music isn't shite. It's pretty good.

Killer @jeanpaullanglois.bsky.social show opened at @fazakasgallery.bsky.social today. If you’re in Vancouver, check it.

Amazing. It’s been great seeing this club grow! ⚡️

“Time to shelve all the warm weather gear and pull out the Germans! Time for Neu!, Kraftwerk, Can, and Ash Ra Tempel. Time to get Station To Station and “Heroes” spinning. Joy Division bootlegs will be activated soon.” — Henry Rollins (From one of the Fanatic books, can’t remember which one.)

Happy Birthday Joe Strummer! I cobbled this playlist together years back based on track-lists from the radio shows he hosted at the turn of the century. Enjoy! ✌️📻❤️ #musicsky music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...

Maybe others do this but I’ve only noticed it with @readwise.bsky.social —I love how they call out individual developers by name. Also detail around updates. This is how it’s done—at least as long as scale allows.

I shared this playlist in my most recent newsletter transmission a week or two ago. Late summer vibes & atmospheric pressure featuring Shigeto, There In Spirit (Jeremy Shaw & Konrad Black,) @rroxymore.bsky.social, Theo Parrish, Djrum + more. Hope you dig. ✌️❤️ #musicsky music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...
