Sigh. Hoping this doesn't affect my clients who use Distrokid anytime soon, but...

Studio stuff Olympus OM-D M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8

A few days late posting this over from Instagram. Just spotlighting a couple new releases in the folk/americana/country genre. Mastered here. Angela Perley - Mid-day Hallelujah: tidal.com/album/537742... West Taylor - Live at The Rambling House LP: tidal.com/album/538163...

If only we held the White House to these standards as well.

The Silly Block at SGDQ reminds us what is good and pure about games and it is not shareholders. @gamesdonequick.com

I think if you needed any more evidence that the cuts are shortsighted and focused on cutting as deep and as fast as possible with little regard for the future, this is pretty definitive. That engine felt like magic in some spots. A colossal waste of talent and resources.

The consultation appointment for my vasectomy was billed for more than the procedure itself after insurance and hospital were done playing chicken with each other. Everything is arbitrary and our healthcare is a joke.

Yakuza's shopfronts are one of life's little pleasures: aftermath.site/yakuzas-shopfr...

Let's also remember the trickle down effects that the cataclysmic amount of games industry layoffs has on which are even harder to measure than the firings: 1) freelance and contract workers out of the job too 2) institutional knowledge gone 3) kids giving up on working in games in the first place

If you need an experienced producer/editor/sound designer for a regularly airing podcast or show, I am looking for new adventures!

Yes I *will* play Yakuza 5 Remastered and watch SGDQ, why thank you.

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

The old Internet back in the days of Flash was really something to behold.

"Mid-Day Hallelujah" by Angela Perley 🤠 🇺🇸👙If there ever was a song for a wild Ohio heatwave, this is it. Recorded at Earthwork Recording Studio Engineered by Tom Atha Mixed by Alex Estrada Mastered by me angelaperley.bandcamp.com/track/mid-da... #newmusic #americana #rootsrock #musicsky

I was thinking about this last night RE: Dark Souls 2. The original version of the game has different enemy and item placements especially in the earlier areas. Scholar of the First Sin is killer and one of the best values in gaming with its boss count, but you cannot download the original.

The Gene Wilder chatbot/slop voice is absolutely ghoulish and everyone involved should be ashamed.

Spending my morning writing a statement for press inquiries about all this when all I want to do is say "consumers haven't had purchasing power in about ten years now because we gave all of our money to like ten weird guys, what did you all expect"

Only TMBG could write a happy tune to these lyrics: [Pre-Chorus] Put out your hands and you fall through the window And clawing at nothing, you drop through the void Your terrified screams are inaudible Drowned in the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape

Rewatched "The Death of Stalin" last night, for the first time since it came out and.... it hits different in 2026 USA. It plays like a documentary about Cheeto45 and his cabinet.

I was today years old when I realized that the guy who plays grizzled sheriff Walt Longmire (Robert Taylor) was one of the 3 agents in The Matrix.

If you are like me, and are up at midnight wondering what synth Eric Axelson was using in the late 90s/early 00s for the bass in The Dismemberment Plan: I am pretty sure now that it was a Roland JX-1

INHOSPITABLE OUTSIDE, FAM

My dad used to have WILD dj shifts when we were in the car without mom. It would be like Deep Purple, and then Marillion, and then weird David Byrne solo records, and then Werewolves of London, and then Bowie's "Earthling", and then INXS or something. Like a college radio station, it ruled.

🚨Hey composers 🚨 I had an idea. What if I offered special budget mastering for like "pitch tracks" and "demos"? Everyone has to do those all the time. It would punch up your pitches and give people a chance to try working with me! Would that be of interest?? Let me know!

1) Open this image up 2) Find the small, blue feature in the very middle Congratulations, you've spotted the Perseverance rover on Mars, photographed from orbit! 3) Trace the rover tracks as they wend their way across the surface

🚨 Aqeel Aadam's new texture/sustainer VST, Coastline, is out today and features some of my field recordings! Support this smart fella and check out his very cool audio tools. aqeelaadamsound.com/b/coastline 🌊

These establishment loving, money-protecting, career politicians simply cannot fathom why someone would try to help the people instead of themselves. Why on earth would Mamdani kiss your ring? Maybe he cares more about doing stuff than being mayor forever. You know: "public service"?

Great article!

Ruining directors' framing, one "remaster" at a time.

If there is no way to block scammy job aggregators like Twine, what is even the point of Linkedin

Finally beat Dragon Quest XI. Normally it is very hard to play a 70 hour JRPG as an adult, but nothing about this game ever felt like a chore. It's just lovely.

MPSE cutting ties w Krotos re: their AI gen thing 👌. Krotos trying a "the true value of sound designers is their creativity so this won't hurt jobs" spin is gross.

Some more photos from Scotland last summer (Edinburgh and Inverness) that I finally got around to editing.

Source unknown but H/T to @fieldandfoley.bsky.social for bringing this hilarity to my attention.

Sound makes it real

Thank you Dad. For introducing me to a whole world of awesome music like Gabriel, and Bowie, and King Crimson, and David Byrne. Thank you for working so many different jobs over my life so that I could get a great education. Thank you for encouraging me in the arts. I miss you and Mom every day.

I love this kid vomiting up FIFA

Happy Juneteenth and Pride everybody.

A true true legend. Countless folks, including me, played Doom, and Wolfenstein, and Commander Keen and said: "I wanna do this when I grow up". Rest easy. 🕯️

I've been recovering from a procedure for a couple of days and watched 28 Years Later + Bone Temple and man these are different movies from the way they were marketed to me. (In a good way) Zombie action this is not, it's almost just a framing device. Ralph Fiennes always kills it.

You don't need the Crazy Taxi with AI slop in it, we already have Crazy Truck-kun at home.
