Went to a concert tonight, was disgusted to see a lefty guitarist in the opener and a lefty bassist in the headliner. Pervert behaviour.

Saint Bernard and the Virgin, by Alonso Cano, 1645-52, 📸 by @MilesKennedy

With every new Wintersleep album release I feel a deep ache of nostalgia, a tremendous sense of loss, an ever- widening gap of divergent lives and their pathways. A land, a community, a life, a self left behind two decades ago. Music fucking rules, feelings fucking suck. (grammar edit whoops)

Time for my annual “emails from websites I forgot I’d created an account for” celebration.

I feel bad about this in retrospect, but I can’t help the visceral feeling I get when I hear Aqua’s Barbie Girl. I was just the wrong age, just the wrong mental state for that song to hit my brain.

Sometimes you also gotta just know when it’s just not good enough, even if you think some parts are fun.

I don’t care about Pokémon but I’m happy for you monster perverts (affectionate, non-derogatory)

I have such a weird relationship with the things I make. As a Human, I do not desire to be perceived. It’s honestly remarkable that I went just go by an alias here. But as a Creator, all I want is for what I make to be perceived. Look at/listen to what I’ve done. I love it, maybe you will to.

Sometimes I get bored at work. Other times, I still get bored at work but also distract myself with this nonsense: on.soundcloud.com/4eU4UhZ2fDUh...

It is #bandcampfriday which means check some cool music out and support your favourites directly.

I don’t intend to promote Spotify for any real reason, but this feels rude.

Wtf, stealth Aesop Rock drop

Moving from Reason to Ableton and I am intimidated.

Feeling the Nova Scotian urge to get wasted and just blast the Rankin Family at inappropriate volumes. I’m starting to understand my parents and the way they unwound a little more each day.

The older I get, the more I feel represented in cosmic horror, for I, too, am a shambling mass.

Bandcamp Friday Check it all the way out gsound.bandcamp.com

1. Canadian indie music through the 90s and early 2000s, with a focus on Atlantic Canada 2. The Toronto Maple Leafs, esp their history from the 80s through now, with a focus on the long term impact of Harold Ballard’s ownership failings 3. Personality types as defined by role choices in coop games

Haven’t listened to the whole thing, but the new NIN album/Tron soundtrack is working for me so far. This does mean I’ll have to go back and listen to the Reznor/Ross scores that I’ve up-to-now mostly ignored, though.

if you enjoy this post, be sure to share it with your friends

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to bluesky

Let’s see if I can get more than one or two likes on this.

Oh hey it’s Bandcamp Friday. Check it out: gsound.bandcamp.com

I should have hugged my friends more.

In the grand tradition of me falling in love with songs that I feel like I could have written with a little more wherewithal and persistence, esp in the early 00’s, I give you Black Dust by Hala Strana. youtu.be/bAP49Ju8FKw

Dreamt about hanging out with some old friends last night. Sometimes my (usually self-imposed/inflicted) seclusion sucks.

It’s so weird not having music friends at work now. There’s no one here who would even pretend to give a shit about the cool show I went to on Sunday night.

On this most holy of days, #bandcampfriday, please consider your humble vanity project amateur. #bandcamp #music #shameful-self-promotion

Reposting for the daytime crowd. I channeled all of my procrastination and anxiety over the last two and a half weeks into this (free) EP: gsound.bandcamp.com/album/c-gsound

The writer’s block has been dislodged: gsound.bandcamp.com/album/c-gsound (Don’t worry it’s free)

I’m have joke about Lysistrata, but I just can’t be fucked to tell it.

soundcloud.com/glenn-beaton... Should’ve just named it “doubling down on procrastination”

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

We can upload 3 minute videos now. YOU KNOW THE RULE

youtu.be/TA94s1XFQC8 One of my favorite NIN songs, an example of what I aspire to but will NEVER achieve. The minimalism, the drive, the command of pacing and dynamics.
