Happy Tuesday 💿🎸✨ #CDfriday

i'll make the same joke i made to @gse.bsky.social : "Hey Jeff, excited for the session. How should we mic the toms?"

Periodic statement that we don’t appreciate Juana Molina enough. This last album is so so so so good.

Robert Palmer

I could be projecting, but it feels like Robert Palmer truly loved a wide range of music, and would chase whatever caught his ear. An inspiring way to live and create. I am obsessed with his cover of The System. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NScQ...

Might fuck around and Realize that mind is the Great earth, clearly, dude

"This helps explain why the minimalist aesthetic can feel actively shaming in certain communities: it is a standard built by those who have always had the luxury of assuming they could replace what they lost."

5:12 PM time to listen to Confield

"Further Down the Spiral" = onramp to Coil

astonished every time i revisit this album - a CD i grew up with and learned every moment of, but somehow find new depth with each return

the stance you take when a screwdriver rolls off the edge of the workbench and heads towards the floor and you're not wearing any shoes; the move you make to assume it

wish someone would make a pedal or plugin that sounds like the preamps in a tascam 4-track

This record is out today: gonzobonkers rock for people that "did too much acid but got good grades". We opted for maximalism at every turn and Justin did an incredible job getting onto a big ol' slab of green plastic. Recorded at DNA Studios & Tiny Telephone, mixed by me at Best House.

can't wait to hear this mastered

That Friday feeling

i wish he'd dipless

If you’re training to be a music listener, you should be listening to minimum 10,000 sounds every day.

tails exit through grommets so they may be retracted into the panel

whoever gets rid of daylight savings gets to be king of the world forever. i don't even care if they're inherently evil, probably would be anyway. kill it and the world is yours

Considering the comms director for Spotify is a former GW Bush press secretary staffer, I would not doubt the lengths of manufactured consent this company would take esp in the last year of them being on the defense.

It’s good to remember that even when you’re not actually making music, eg not playing an instrument, you can still be making music. Like, thinking about music is making music. And thinking about other stuff is probably also making music. And not thinking about anything definitely making music.

“Recording”, 2026

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.

thank you Éliane Radigue. a towering inspiration in learning how to listen & lifetime creative practice.

Surprise, I finished a music thing. A small set of gradually moving constructions of loops and performances on guitar and synthesizer.

gbagada gbagada gbogodo gbogodo

absolutely *essential* book for anyone interested in music and recording. even if you have zero interest in the artists he worked with! i reread it once a year and it never fails to inspire.

my long-held belief that wealthy people should be put into small metal cans and exploded at the bottom of the ocean doesn’t seem so extreme anymore

it’s happened to all of us.
