🚨NEW BOOK ALERT🚨 My first book*, "Learning Through Noise," is available NOW from Palgrave Macmillan! It's a deep dive into the relationship between learning and noise and the last publication to come out of my dissertation. Available now from the publisher- link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

For anyone saying that Trump invaded Venezuela because his crew loves oil, remember that his crew also loves uppers so don’t rule that out quite yet

We don’t spend enough time talking about how Lexington KY of all places gave use hair police AND cadaver in drag AND wretched worst.

#HOODWINKS #noiselife

Made it through half of the submissions to the arts and performance track at #ISLS2026 and I’ve only racked up a messily 3 citations from this. What the hell did you people think I was doing this for??

Friendly reminder that Starbucks baristas are still on strike and still asking you to support them by not patronizing *any* Starbucks in the US. Try a new place! Get a home coffeemaker and a thermos that will pay for themselves with all the Starbucks you won't be buying! Don't cross picket lines!

In 2026 I want to see @mattsargent.bsky.social on an episode of @tabsout.bsky.social

Just lined up my first tape release of 2027. Keep your eyes on the place for 12-24 months

So THATS where my face comes from

You should absolutely get on this.

Start your year off right

Thinking about him (Jon Arbuckle)

Since my life is somehow wrapped up in working with/thinking about/writing about technology, I want to spend 2026 celebrating the only good piece of digital media left on this earth: Craigslist

MEDIUM 24 Hour New Year Drone is going!! Here are the first few hours.

Pretty fun experience watching the Sarah squirm special on hbo and thinking “that music sounds like an @angelhair0.bsky.social jam” and then it turns out it is! (That whole sequence Sounds great btw)

And it's already up to 170! Today's listening: Rafael Toral- Traveling Light A real tender listen. Drone with an air of nostalgia but without the usual markers that indicate that. Like what drone that could sondtrack a 1920s hollywood movie. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I think we can all agree it’s time for fireworks to become 100% illegal. Let’s ban fireworks everywhere in 2026

End-of-25 25% off sale ends in under 25 hours.

Alright folks, it’s December 31st and I’m thinking this list is unlikely to change at this point. And I know you all have been asking for it so here it is: my top ten albums of the year.

The producers of “Hamnet” must be soooooo embarrassed that they misspelled Hamlet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Introducing commerce to the Internet is what ruined it many years ago, at least with the dream I was brought up with. I didnt know at the time, but damn all subscription as service is a the worse. Subscriptions for things that only exist in your phone suck.

Recording music is a silly process.

I would buy a 3LP of whatever this is

Wallace Shawn stars as a corpse in My Weekend at Andre’s

Mark Metcalf told me how impressed he was by the amount of pizza I ate

Ruin two bands by combining them: Godspeed You! Black Empire! Empire! I Was A Lonely Estate

Today's listening: Yoko Ono & the Great Learning Orchestra- Selected Recordings from Grapefruit An amazing idea for a project, culled from incredible source material, and executed immaculately. What's not to love? karlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/select...

My inbox on bandcamp Friday:

Damn, I guess I must have made the 351st best album of the year.

I want this so bad.

ah the small joy of contributing to Peter listening to something he would have listened to anyway

Today's LIstening: Lucky Bone- False Facts Yeah, yeah, I just posted about this. But also I just listened to it and it's as wonderful as always. Never not a pitch perfect set of fuzzy compositional choices from Neil. Dude is just the best. lucky-bone.bandcamp.com/album/false-...

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Oh damn that pretentious couple that guaranteed suck to talk to at parties are making a movie about the shakers hell yeah

This works on the split I made with @yecidortega.bsky.social! Go grip it and a whole lot of other cool stuff! blackringrituals.bandcamp.com/album/south-...

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t by Eiffel 65, Aqua, Vengaboys, or Rednex

Today's listening: Jérôme Noetinger / Petr Vrba- Hystérésis Fresh bit of noisy exploration from @flagdayrecordings.bsky.social, who seem determined to go out with a bang. Deceptively simple works here that are already calling for another listen. flagdayrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/hyst-r...

AI isn’t going to take your job I am You’re going to go in to your next shift and I will be there, I will be wearing your clothing and your badge, I will be sitting in your chair, I will be answering to your name As much as you tell people I’m not you, they won’t believe you or recognize you

New Year’s resolution shortlist: -Try releasing music on cassette -Listen to at least 5 minutes of music a day -Learn which BPMs sound good -Only use AI to make music if I think of my own original prompt -Go to Dubai to visit the Dubai chocolate factory where they make the Dubai chocolate

happy boxing day! apologies for the bad joke.

In this household we celebrate TRADITION. youtu.be/lxydYWw9tLQ?...

Regular reminder that the USPS is supposed to lose money. It’s a public service. That it should turn a profit is a perversion of its purpose deliberately engineered by conservatives over the last half century to harm the very people who often vote for them — the poor and working class.

You may think this is a ridiculous idea but also “In a Violent Nature” exists so there’s no reason it won’t work
