Today's earworm is Keith Morris screeching Put A Little Love In Your Heart

First gig of 2026, Next Thursday in a trio with Nicole Alonso and Andrew Scott Young at Cafe Mustache

MEDIUM - 2026 - 24 Hour New Year Drone here is the complete drone from yesterday. Thanks to @cranksatori.bsky.social for sending me a bunch of sines to add to the mix. #drone #24hourdrone #drone #drone #medium

got a nice much appreciated shout out from from my old pal Dan Burke in this recent-ish interview with Modulisme.. laughing cause he's probably had an even bigger influence on me.. anyway check it for the great interview w/Dan and wonderful associated audio: modular-station.com/modulisme/se...

scene report

"helping" my nephew build a robot: Nephew: [singing loudly, hands in air] HE'S ON PAGE SEVENTEEEEEN! [repeat] Me: building the robot

MEDIUM - ongoing 24 hour new year drone, no "stream" but updated in ~ 2 hour increments here: soundcloud.com/jmyrecords/t...

much like the statement "there's no good music anymore", the question "Is ____ dead?" (Insert style/genre/art form of choice) doesn't require a response because the person asking is clearly already dead themselves

earworm: It's very cold. It's very cold. Very cold. Why's it so cold? / ICE CUBE! AH! AH! AH!

We don't know where Hank Williams died 73 yrs ago today bc he'd been dead in the back of a moving car for hours before anyone even noticed. He was a stone-cold genius *and* a gigantic asshole, an absolute titan of American music. He released this weeks before he died. Prophetic. He was 29 years old

"ONLY ACCEPTING DEMOS" I haven't pressed play, but I love your label already even if I never send you a thing it's all about spite

resolutions

at some point today I will have contributed some sine waves to this...

calling it now... 2026 is the year we bring back the See & Say audio format

me: (sets alarm for 8, wakes up at 5) goddamnit also me: huh. sometime in the 4 hours I was asleep, Rudolf dropped a remastered Runzelstirn & Decaer Pinga from '97... guess things happen for a reason

Guy Birkin's 2025 music wrap (a list as it were, but what do we call these year end non-hierarchical better than best lists anyway?) lots of good stuff, and not just saying that because he included a release by my The Subtraction alias in there... aestheticcomplexity.wordpress.com/2025/12/31/2...

I'm not gonna spoil his fun but wow somebody really got hoodwinked bad this year!

You are cordially invited to the Listening Party of "Planet Ocean", the latest release from Chris Watson, 6pm GMT on January 2nd 2026. RSVP: chriswatsonreleases.bandcamp.com/merch…#ChrisWatsono#FieldRecordingn#CabaretVoltairer#PlanetOceanan

@bgutzeit.bsky.social recording some sines for you

yeah I'm definitely gonna need a call and response reading of this list between Sam McPheeters and Greg Peters

kinda weird how you're supposed to promote your own work without promoting it at all

350? In a year? That's not even one of the cool numbers... 23 records you played more than once? Juggled 69 CDs? Swallowed 666 tapes whole in two hours without coughing any back up? Now those are lists!

no MEDIUM this year, at least not that I'm involved in organizing, just in case anyone was wondering...

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

to each their own and have fun you weirdos, but me, I'm never quite gonna get the whole Phish/Dead/Dan obsession in certain corners of the experimental/weird music world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>>new lucky bone alert<<< lucky-bone.bandcamp.com/album/false-...

probably don't need me to tell you this, but Lungfish is travlin' music Specifically train travelin' music

thinking about how far out on the fringes you've spent your life in art and realizing that the most accurate description of your definition of what art *is* boils down to the cat's smile lingering a little too long in the air after the beast itself is already gone

The other Xmas piece by Dick Higgins being Danger Music Number Seventeen of course

Dick Higgins. Two Motives for Celebrating Christmas, 1976

CODES FOR CHRISTMAS CHORUS is a dreamlike sequence of seven softly-spoken instrumentals held together by bird song and radio noise. REDEEM: ironichill.bandcamp.com/yum j9wt-wfnv 72hy-haq9 mxe3-v2gt 9e6l-6cf7 zr34-khev 3mxj-gv28 5ge6-3kwn gtr2-w9le 2nmw-h8v3 a58e-v26s

This was a lovely Xmas eve arrival - gave it a spin while wrapping presents for the family - might confuse the nephews with it later by giving it another while building Lego space pirate ships

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.

sometimes I forget how much ol' Eddie VH loved a flanger

list 1. yolnoise.bandcamp.com 2. umbrog.bandcamp.com 3. a bunch of noisy computer synthesizer music nobody likes

rest, me, an unmerry gentleman

no, no you're wrong, cassettes aren't cool again, nobody likes them, go drive some other old object's price up cool thanks

nephew learned to count in Spanish, fixated on dos, running around the house chanting the word over and over.. so I introduced him to Watt & Kira (not sure he was impressed, but if it goes as usual, give it a week and I'll get a confused call from my sis asking what he's on) youtu.be/iWPNVXPgapc?...

I REALLY hate to ask - and normally I don't - but our boiler died this morning so any purchases you could make through either Bandcamp or Vinted wld be much appreciated, thx. (The money's a moot point as I suspect we won't be able to get a plumber out this side of New Year. Gonna be a cold Xmas,,,)
