slippery bogle

its a difficult topic but i think there's an interesting piece to be written about musicians who have been lost to hardware / modular infatuation. i can think of 5-10 artists that showed incredible promise circa 2020 that subsequently got really into hardware and started making less interesting work

at least we have the music but kind of a bummer that things are weird between a g cook and gfoty because i think he did some of his best work with her.

wow netrunner rips

this album's the most underrated a g cook production youtube.com/playlist?lis...

catching up on year0001 releases and there is not much competition for most exciting label at the moment. music from memory i guess but 'exciting' isn't exactly their bread and butter.

Liquid Glass got all the attention but there’s a ton of little osx minimize window style expressive animations in the new ios. Charming imo

shocking innovations in lighting technology www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAFu...

ableton is exactly the right amount of easy to crack.

we have lost as many great artists to modular as we have to ai, maybe more

there were six beautiful months where i could google "home to work" or "work to home" and instantly get maps directions / travel time estimate. i miss them dearly.

im weird in a mostly charming way in person but im weird in a mostly off putting way online

wonderful record. a bit uneven but the highs are very high brianpauldaddario.bandcamp.com/album/till-t...

unbelievable youtu.be/gs-KGzm8rZs?...

Just unbelievable from efdemin ostgut.bandcamp.com/album/poly-2

wow shlohmo youtube.com/playlist?lis...

wow himera himera.bandcamp.com/album/now-i-...

surprised to find i am liking the blawan album less and less. it is shrinking on me, and i basically didn’t like it when it came out

new opn is very rod modell & taka noda - glow world. i wonder if he listens to rod modell.

finally getting a computer charger for one of the two places i always need it. (good off brand 100w macbook charger is like $30, treat yourself)

this (and other gorillaz demos) are a great demonstration of why the project isn’t the same without a great producer / collaborator in the mix for each album. everything after demon days sounds like this. 80% of the way there but missing the magic youtu.be/wyfcXEmWxDY?...

⏰🧢 ⚾️

tiga record with patrick holland and priori all over it incoming. insane news. look at those credits tigamusic.bandcamp.com/album/hotlif...

highly recommend tracking down a copy of this comp if you ever play bars, patios, etc. or have an interest in the dawn of balaeric. have a feeling it will be hard to come by. doesn't replace tracking down the singles but is a helluva lot more convenient rebirthrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/para-s...

Hail Caesar is just unbelievably good

the collapse of drake, taylor swift, and tame impala feels notable. you could fold in some of the other major flops of the year but there's a resonance between those three that feels indicative of something big.

a standout in a field of strong work from the montreal adjacent chill out zone. naffrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/rest-h...

very impressed by the tracklist of this electroclash comp

remarkable record here from kaisei on spekki webu's label. 2.5 hrs of dubby explorations covering all corners. a welcome companion for a days work, commute, chores, or quiet contemplation. mirrorzone.bandcamp.com/album/sketch...

obviously voodoo and brown sugar but what d'angelo does on black messiah i've never encountered anywhere else. absolutely incredible synthesis of ideas from across music.

refik anadol worst artist in a major museum collection

fuck buttons some of the best shit ever

took me a while to get around to it but the new earl album is insanely psychedelic

oh yeah thenecksau.bandcamp.com/album/disquiet

best part of the new blawan is the LP artwork, design and layout. that sounds like more of a dig than it is because the art is unbelievable.

stellar bblisss.bandcamp.com/album/illumi...

you know what is a good iPhone app is the Google app. need to google something? you fire up the app and you’re on your way.

dodgers daft punk ‘oh yeah’ drop is the best in the biz

there’s nothing wrong with a sierra nevada pale ale

customer service hold music doesn’t let you bliss out and get into the groove anymore. interrupts itself every 15 seconds with voiceover shilling or reminding you that you’re on hold.

Who has the rights to Jeeves right now? If I’m gonna ask any computer for help it’s gonna be the big og Jeeves

phenomenal mirrorzone.bandcamp.com/album/sketch...

just getting into this but it's perfect rebirthrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/para-s...

i hope everyone enjoyed them but chill vibes are cancelled. vibes are to be insane going forward

wow this chaos in the cbd is immaculate chaosinthecbd.bandcamp.com/album/a-deep...

this d tiffany ep is something of a bummer.

great record

the four tet x william tyler makes a quartet of lovely instrumental guitar forward ambient released this year.
