Very little compares to the thrill of seeing a “meeting: cancelled” notification land in my inbox

I know that the point of weather alert sirens is to get your attention, but I really wish they would use a complete chord

Hey cool Google AI no longer thinks I’m a Navy SEAL.

Sometimes I’ll be in the studio mixing something and get hit with the realization that I really get to do this, and it’s fun, and I get to do it with my best friends. It’s pretty awesome. (I just finished mixing the new #EyeNewDark record and it’s amazing. Jill is an incredibly gifted songwriter)

Heeeeeeeyy so I did a thing! I chatted with a nice fellow across the pond about music for a while. www.mixcloud.com/ColinSpencer...

All the pontificating about “AI in the workplace” and all that always overlooks that an absurd amount of every company’s critical data ends up being maintained in a collection of opaque and poorly-named Excel files.

I did an interview and talked about a formative artist (whose name I probably mispronounce)

“Fun-size” candybars are such a lie. They’d be way more fun if they were comically large.

I had my headphones on and legit didn’t realize the guy running the leaf blower in the next yard was not part of the song.

One of the most underdiscussed and frankly worrying facts about the current landscape is how all political discourse has been reduced to the word “deal.”

New music! Matt and I do big stupid 90’s dance music, à la Prodigy, Chemical Bros, Fatboy Slim, etc. nerdysanchez.bandcamp.com/album/nerdy-...

Of COURSE all their weird diagnostic errors in my car suddenly disappear right before my service appointment. Of course.

I feel like the Star Wars universe would have far fewer galactic conflicts if they just replaced a few mystical space wizards with, y’know, therapists.

My phone corrected “cat treats” to “cat threats” and I’ve never felt more seen.

During these big storms, weatherman keeps talking about a “hail core” and that just sounds to me like a particularly badass early-00’s metal genre.

All these years later, “Voodoo Ray” is still a banger.

I think I picked the wrong day to season my new wok.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Yeah, well, I'm going to go have my own naval blockade! With blackjack and hookers!

I hope this doesn’t mean we’re going to invade Hungary now.

I have no idea why I waited so long before buying a good box grater.

No matter what else happens on this crazy world, we can at least be secure in the knowledge that the Liberty Biberty Guy found love.

At this point it’s nearly impossible to tell if this level of idiocy is malice or just incompetence.

Pretty sure the main reason Timothy Chalamet doesn’t like opera is because his generation didn’t grow up with Looney Tunes. No one who spent Saturday mornings with “What’s Opera Doc?” would hold that opinion.

When I was younger I watched The Matrix and identified with the hardscrabble freedom fighters in their underground city. Now I'm like "I'd get my own goo pod? With food and healthcare? And a permanent dream of the late 90's? In THIS economy? SIGN ME UP."

We got 8-10 inches of snow. Which is probably really 5-7 if you’re on a dating app.

“What were you like in the 90’s?” Not listening to the damned Goo Goo Dolls, I can tell you that much.

Working from home has really ruined the concept of a snow day

Oh sweet! K-pop at the Oscars!

Oh wild, costume design nomination for a CGI film

Oh shit, Charlie Bisharat? NICE!

If a cat hurls on the carpet and you don’t step in it barefoot in the dark, did they really vomit? #zen #koan #cats

We’ve got another new thing.

New Null Device track! All proceeds to the Iowa County Humane Society. nulldevice.bandcamp.com/album/i-dont...

New Null Device track coming this Bandcamp Friday. New new thing coming too.

That’s a lot of responsibility for just one person.

53. A little grayer, and my bones make more noise than I am comfortable with, but otherwise, aiight.

After Monday night’s NIN show, I am haunted by the fact that we’re potentially a mere Broadway production of “The Downward Spiral” away from the media having to mention Trent Reznor’s EGOT.

So I awoke this morning to a cat gently placing a _part_ of a mouse on the foot of the bed. How’s your day going?

WHOLESOME

JFC “Producer YouTube” is a deep wellspring of the worst possible mixing advice. “Here’s an easy way to hit your LUFS target of -4. Just put a clipper on every track and bus.” Bro who hurt you

I still find the charmin bears deeply unsettling. They’re bears, they don’t wear pants - except when they wear underwear - and yet they are obsessed with toilet paper.

There was a brief period in 1990 when I would confuse Gerardo and Geraldo.

I bet the FX team for “Fallout” has someone whose main job is digitally editing out Walton Goggins’ nose.

For some reason this morning I started thinking about the worst job interviews I’ve had over my career. Most were fine, a couple were real doozies (a thread)

The biggest unsung hero of the music industry is prefab melamine shelving.

Dear people who make scented home products, Calm the fuck down. I don’t need “tropical sunset” or “toasted vanilla cafe.” What happened to straightforward stuff like “lemon” or “lavender?” I’m buying laundry detergent to wash my underpants, FFS. Let’s not get prosaic here.

I guess we’ll know in 466 years if Gil Gerard is actually just pulling the greatest method acting in history.

I’ve reached that point in my life where I know what day it is based entirely on what pills I have to take
