RIP Gene Hackman. The French Connection and The Conversation are two absolute faves. I’m sure most here are well aware, but the latter is a must-see if you have an interest in spies and tape music (lol?)

“All encompassing audio visual experience” aka None of the music is played live but we got a big projector in so you can just about watch the corner of a film just past all the heads of people in front of you. Oh and it’s £50 entry pls.

POTENTIALLY NAÏVE OF ME but surely the Trump tariffs are going to cause havoc with American warehouse component resellers such as Mouser and DigiKey? Essentially any US business that sells imported goods worldwide. “Genuine” reasonable answers pls.

So much good stuff appearing at the minute - new @cigamlareneg.bsky.social, new old Pita courtesy of @editionsmego.bsky.social, this Vainio reissue, new Russell Haswell, new Sara Persico, not to mention everything lingering from 2024. My bank account is weeping.

stop using spotify; buy media = support artists, music, production, promotion & manufacturing jobs.

It'd be fun if Behringer started cloning Teenage Engineering products, thus setting in motion a discourse feedback loop that could finally end social media for good

MASSIVE NERD POST but just did some actual tests with my vinyl ripping set-up to make sure I was doing things properly, and ripping at half speed does yield such better results. Does anyone else out there do this?

Do you know an independent artist musician writer publisher bookseller record shop owner. Get them some funds, buy their stuff, donate. Protect them. Stop giving oligarchs money. Stop enriching them. That means you too, Substack guys. Get on Ghost.

JFK in the 2020s more like: We choose to go to the Moon... We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are A PAIN IN THE ARSE

If you drive a Range/Land Rover and after a year the wheels are not thoroughly caked in mud from regularly using it as an all-terrain vehicle in an off-road setting it should be turned into a fucking rollerskate.

Great news for folks ready to leave Instagram. One of the developers of Bluesky is developing a photo sharing app for Bluesky called Flashes. Like Bluesky, it will be based on the AT Protocol. Flashes is still in beta but will be available soon. bit.ly/4hdaQ0s

One of the most criminally overlooked albums IMO - Bruce Gilbert’s The Shivering Man: brucegilbert.bandcamp.com/album/the-sh... More “industrial” than most when it wants to be, gorgeous vocals from Angela Conway and that early “IDM” sound predated by >5 years in the final track. Timeless.
