The moment Scott Walker's 'The Electrician' goes from it's dread inducing Penderecki esque string & bass horrorscape giving the false impression it's going to be an apocalyptic face melter and instead it's this lush orchestral ballad. 'If I jerk the handle, you'll die in your dreams...'

the Soros conspiracy coming from Elon in particular is just embarrassing. you’re worth like 80x what Soros is buddy, if you thought he was buying elections you could snap your fingers and fix it.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Hate to break it to Hans Zimmer and his Stans, He wouldn't have a career without Wendy Carlos (A trans woman) who helped develop and create the Moog Synthesizer. He's always been a hack.

Ontop of being a purveyor of some of the most rote, uninspired, 'let's add some taiko drums to make it exotic', generic soundtracks to bloat up several high profile movies I now have a pretty legitimate reason to loathe Hans Zimmer. He WISHES he had a ounce of Vangelis's talent and imagination.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

If you're expecting billion dollar franchises (even if original IP, a Disney or Pixar movie is a franchise in waiting) to put out a message counter to political currents because that's how change happens, I have very very bad news for you.

my dad: people today are too sensitive me: u bitches cried when dylan went electric

My neighborhood is over a newly invigorated flight path for richie riches in prop planes taking flying lessons, and today is the absolute worst it's ever been, it's sounded like the skies over Dunkirk for hours

Schools are like "hey lock up your cell phones they're too damaging to the learning process. now please open up your lying plagiarism machine and start generating content"

www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhN0... OUT TOMORROW AT 5:30PM CST on @argrecnetlabel.bsky.social (was originally 4:30PM but had to reschedule). ALSO: we will be announcing next quarterly comp submission window, a few minor changes to submission guidelines, and possibly some MFTROU posts. 🤩

Oh hey, it's that topic myself and @johnlithium.bsky.social were having prior to the launch of Artemis II. But in all seriousness, I do think that without sounding panicked, this is absolutely a topic of concern from mission planners to folks casually checking updates of the lunar flyby.

vance is so personally off putting that even foreign electorates want nothing to do with him

boho art-student longhairs who start out with psychedelic flute jams, gradually immerse themselves in cutting-edge electronics and then fully embrace Computer World, they're as good a description of the 1970s cultural/technological shift as exists (Eno is #2)

The hypocrisy is astronomical: Trump slashed NASA’s budget by 23% and then took credit when astronauts made history. Artemis II does not belong to politicians dismantling American space science. Join the fight for science: standupforscience.net zurl.co/JHmEp

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Came up with it when the Mendes films were announced, but the idea was percolating. Someone should call a book that and dive in deep showing how evident fact (the Beatles were very massively popular) transformed into business incentives and received wisdom that keeps warping perceptions.

Let's suppose Vance's quip isn't complete bullshit (which it is): Middle-class white kids aren't getting into Georgetown or Yale or wherever because some rich white asshole made a phone call to get his ratfuck kid in ahead of them.

pretty soon there's going to be a Netflix series about Lennon in Hong Kong, 1977, wearing a basketball jersey, hanging with Bowie and Iggy, and being an entitled ass to restaurant staff

I am an absolute sucker for Beatle esque melodies that sound warped and pregnant with an unbearable sense of unease. Take this early Simple Minds tune: it's essentially a minor key take on 'Dear Prudence' where it's all bad come down vibes and paranoia. youtu.be/AWkZEdpuujA?...

[The Apollo 11 plaque] reads: "We came in peace for all Mankind." As the United States was dropping 7 ½ megatons of conventional explosives on small nations in Southeast Asia, we congratulated ourselves on our humanity. We would harm no one on a lifeless rock. - Carl Sagan

I was a dirtbag late teen sitting in the dingy room of a former high-school friend shrouded in a haze of pot smoke. A corrosive slow motion dirge comprised of Led Zeppelin styled drums, depth charge dubby bass, lacerating flanged guitar, and screams burst out their abused speakers.

Gonna tell my kids this was Robot Jox.

Given that the one hundred & fourteenth anniversary is drawing close (two days after my birthday): this feels thematically relevant to the material me and @dsherrick.bsky.social will be performing tonight at Cafe Bourbon Street. youtu.be/2oVMRADOq5s?...

Tomorrow night at Columbus's beloved dive bar: myself and & @dsherrick.bsky.social will be doing our bowed electric string melodrama while supported by harsh noise and electroacoustic sorceress @laudanum-quilt.bsky.social Five dead presidents at the door.

Hey I sure hope nothing happens to the economy when it turns out that fund managers invested all our savings into data centers that physically cannot be built or turned on

After a decade-long sabbatical, DNT Records returns for our second act! (Act 1: 2005-2015) Today we've relaunched the mailorder distro website, and later this year we'll relaunch the label. Please help us spread the word! DIY/Experimental/Drone/Weird/Psychedelic/Etc dntrecords.com

A very sobering but concise essay. I always find myself observing that calls for resilience and heroic endurance in regards to the trans (or wider 'queer') community feels like repackaged 'appeals to adversity' & 'survivor bias'. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

This is all a solid plan and 100% the opposite of what the Anglosphere has been taught that it wants to do. Wonder if crisis becomes opportunity.

Alito is now bringing up Iranians. He's basically asking about "sleeper agents," the conservative belief that babies of immigrants can be raised as Manchurian Americans who will somehow turn on us when they are *activated* at a later date.

Had the privilege of catching The Veldt live at one of my local haunts in Columbus and they are nothing short of extraordinary. Ontop of being one of the few groups capable of conjuring a genuine '4AD' dream pop sound. They are the American A.R. Kane.

adam says it much more succintly. the american right will happily impoverish the united states and make it an oversized backwater if it means they can dominate women and minorities and play act as a master class
