Brian Wilson smoking a huge joint and listening to Porgy & Bess as loud as it will go: 🥦🥕💤🦷🪥🙂

The roofing guy said he had no idea what could have caused the tiles on our roof to move and he's never seen anything like it. I think it must have been an angel or god.

God has a plan for me and apparently it involves listening to loads of Hong Kong pop music

Thinking about her

Rick is a genuine hero to me. One of the kindest, most enthusiastic, and most curious people I've ever met 💜💜💜

"It was a fun challenge to try and create the image of something so organic using the vocabulary of dance music – the Korg M1 piano twinkling like rain falling into a pond, the 303 acid sound buzzing like a fly, the 808 bass hitting like a sudden clap of thunder." 🎨 @simonmward.bsky.social

New bbz rips 👽🐸💚

I am now the proud owner of the world's most Australian fuckin keyboard hard case. Moonee ponds represent 🙌

Last night MOKOTRON was awarded Te Manu Taki Tāhiko o te Tau | Best Electronic Artist at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards. We couldn’t be prouder of what Tiopira has achieved with WAEREA and it's an absolute privilege to work with him.

Home sick in bed catching up on essential research

I've finally made my peace with steely dan and bought a copy of gaucho from the five dollar bin... My real thirties begins today.

I ironed a record today. Went about as well as you'd expect.

Welcome pope!

I have become Footscray's number one Udo head. I'm Udo pilled. I live for Udo. I die for Udo. The fuckin break in this song! Udo did it. youtu.be/sTdC2itdU2M?...

You can watch the very peculiar Japanese sci-fi film Summer Vacation 1999 on Archive.org now. Three boys spend the summer alone at school after their friend's suicide and just type on big weird computers, fall in love, and go insane. archive.org/details/summ...

At home alone listening to a groovy space age lounge version of Chatanooga Choo Choo feeling like my brain might explode

Hello Tongue Snatcher 👋

Watching the theatrical cut of blade runner for the first time and like every two minutes Harrison Ford chimes in like "Keikaku means plan....that was what the old man was talking about when he said all according to keikaku.....the plan"
