My band Earth Machine just put out a new album! It is already on bandcamp and should be on most streaming services on Tuesday, April 29th. It would be pretty cool if you checked it out. For fans of very chill improvised music. Fripp meets lullabies. earthmachinemusic.bandcamp.com/album/chasm

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

The Papal conclave is expected to start between the 6th and 12th of May. Eurovision is between the 13th and 17th of May. Social media is about to get very confusing.

Did I set up my pedalboard to split the signal to parallel setups so I could doom out of both my bass amp and my guitar amp? Yes. Yes, I did.
