Today in 1961, former Manhattan Project Nobel Prize-winning chemist, Atomic Energy Commission member, and fallout shelter advocate Willard Libby’s highly-publicized, do-it-yourself $30 hillside shelter—made out of railroad ties and sandbags of dirt—burned down in the Bel Air wildfire in Los Angeles.

Here's Savage Republic, Live at the Melkweg 87, on Staaltape. Most of my Staaltape cassettes are Pink Dots, but I always loved this as like a crossover. One day I'll photograph my huge pile of IPR items. I so appreciate these labels who made all releases big & beautiful!!

also, in honor of the time change, two new audio things from me on bandcamp. these are more of my "live" bootleg series recordings, wherein I aim to, in one take (as feasible), lean into the "industrial" music of the 70s/80s that made an impression on me. vertonen.bandcamp.com/track/live-b...

All I want is to be able to mute boosts from certain people.

Ritmos Tropicosmos 2 early evening shows in Oakland over the next 2 days. today (BOo!) at the Oakland Museum w/ DJ China G - FREE tomorrow (11/1) Pysched Fest at Crybaby w/ Bardo, Amantes del Futuro, DJ Lizzy Al Toque Both shows start at 5PM!

I (and others in the house) have been repeatedly endangered by a dishonest family member and it could theoretically be a matter of life and death at this point so even any leads would be deeply appreciated. This room would be exclusively for me, nobody else would be coming with.

Somehow I forgot to follow @deafcrocodile.bsky.social on here until now, so I'm correcting that. Truly an amazing boutique film imprint with a deep catalogue and brilliant art choices. Here's their latest, two 1920s silent films by Henrik Galeen -- and bespoke edition cover art by Dave McKean.

MISS PYM’s DAY OUT, on the iPlayer for the next 26 days, is delightful! A drama doc about Barbara Pym’s trip to London for the Booker Prize ceremony - featuring Patricia Routledge as Pym, various Excellent Women and cameos from Jilly Cooper & Penelope Lively! #BookSky www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

As a person who spends a tremendous amount of time Walking, and enjoying Looking at things, my advice to you is: remind yourself to look up sometimes, and remind yourself to look down sometimes. There's a ton of wonderful stuff you've never noticed before, right there.

In honor of Halloween, we have made Bog Phosphors by The Cube Of Unknowing "name your price". If you missed it the first time around, revel in its spectral vibes, envision a lysergic Irish bog horror film, soundtracked by John Carpenter's cousin eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bog-ph...

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

My (abnormal) brain is never not doing this.

Indulged a childhood dream and started a metal band with my friends and we put our first demo up on Bandcamp: unmaking.bandcamp.com/album/absolu...
