Recent acquisitions for #cdfriday

Dawned on me today that the second half of 2026 has a US/Canada/Mexico hosted World Cup, the semiquincentennial of the United States, and midterm elections. Things are awful now - but those months sure seem like a serious inflection point of many many things.

Y'all this is REALLY BAD. They disappeared a Palestinian activist green card holder who is married to a US citizen. He could literally be ANYWHERE 🌍 right now! ICE claims they cancelled his green card, something no judge has ruled on yet. Columbia colluded w/ ICE to make this happen.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

As a Mainer it has always been clear that Jared panders to the constituents who think there's a magic switch to bring back paper mills and ship yards at the scale that existed in the 80s.

Playing this show tomorrow night in Portland - sine waves but also …some samples?

It appears and old friend, Dr. Yecid Ortega @yecidortega.bsky.social may be missing. If you have any information as to his whereabouts, please get in touch at [email protected] More information in the flyers, alt text, and thread below. Please share this to help find him and get him home.

First gig I've cooked up this year is in one week with NYC artists Axine.M and Karol Konstancia and local support from Patrick Carey @patrickcarey.bsky.social and rev.web @serenweb.bsky.social. for fans of experimental electronics, computer music, industrial, and folk. @ Silverfish in Portland, ME.

Slack is down and Autechre announced two shows in New England. Good day.

Recently got the new module, Multimod, from @makenoisemusic.bsky.social Happy to discover it can function with audio rate signals as it mults the signal via a recorded buffer. Not every read mode works but most do and you can create crude loopers/pitch shifters/bit crushers.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Hugely looking forward to the next Does, Does44 this coming Saturday night 2/22. Staubitz and Waterhouse! Asha Tamirisa + Anne-F Jacques duo! E Jason Gibbs! Zane Kanevsky! At the Apohadion! Portland, ME.

One of the serious problems with journalism and media in this country is that the practitioners of it have no interests or ideas outside journalism and media.

Maine coded unfortunately.

Thinking it's time to start teaching again. Lessons in double bass, improvisation, creativity, applied theories of gravitation, etc. In person in RVA or online. Holler.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Was listening to the Electronic Supper Club mix by Mat Steel (SND, blir, etc) and trying to get a track ID from Shazam. I repeatedly tried it on the same track and got different results from Shazam each time, might make a playlist. Stupid machine listening or something. #whoknows

I do not follow the NFL at all but always look forward to the Superbowl as a strange mediated American holiday. Kind of the last thing "we" all do together as a nation. It's been pretty grotesque since 9/11 but always a snapshot of "America" in so many weird ways.

While they are Maine based the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project (ILAP) has a great weekly newsletter that highlights a lot of what is happening natioanally with immigration mailchi.mp/4d9e6bc1d1e8...

The mighty enmossed has put together a wonderful comp to help support Lauren Tosswill with medical costs and living expenses. enmossed.bandcamp.com/album/affirm...

After buyouts and layoffs, lots of very talented journos are leaving HuffPost today, including many 10-year HuffPost veterans, rare in digital media. Politics, national, culture, life, crime, breaking, copy, visuals all impacted. A deep, counterproductive cut. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

loleditions.bandcamp.com/album/loltra... Incredibly sick comp. The Sarah Belle Reid track is a mind melter.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

RIP - such incredibly sad news.

I think that we should be talking about what Trump is trying to do to trans people in the context of the Nuremberg laws.

things have been tight, rent is coming due, I'm short and trying to make up the difference selling some synth gear: reverb.com/shop/crank-s... take a look if that's your sort of thing or pass it on if you know someone who might be interested..

Earthquake in Maine to start the week.

My friend Lauren needs some help with health costs. She is such a kind, generous, and creative person. Please give if you can and please share! www.gofundme.com/f/support-la...

First live performance of 2025 this Friday (24/01) at the inaugural event of @aftersoundmaine.bsky.social curated by @patrickcarey.bsky.social & @ronharrity.bsky.social Aftersound is a performance series featuring work that focuses on multi-channel audio. All three performances will be quadrophonic!
