What I'm listening to today: "Two riders down", caroline
I love electronic music because there is so much attention to timbre. I love "indie rock" for the same reason, indie rockers love sounds, they just focus on the sounds of strings and cassette tape and echoey rooms instead of circuitry.
This is that *good* Athens, Georgia sound, which is weird since it's from the UK. A room full of sad, angry folk musicians hitting their instruments and crying with joy. Sprawling
What I'm listening to today: "Technocratic Manipulators", Voivod
I was gonna post some more acid today but then I was in a bad mood. Have you heard this album? "Dimension Hatröss". It's wild, sounds like heavy metal cliche until you realize it's from 1988 and it was *inventing* some cliches. Good and hard and angry at stuff we're still angry at 17yrs later.
Couldn't decide whether to post "Tribal Convictions" or this track, went with this. Whole album's worth it honest

So, I'm playing in the band at a holiday swing dance party in the great hall of Chicago's Union Station later tonight (starting at 6:30pm). Should this actually reach a follower who's around, you should stop and say hi.

Anyone know what kind of board connector from the mid 90s has this footprint? I'm pretty sure these are debug points on this board. (share with your electronics friends please?)
in 2011, i "released" an xmas album with some friends as a joke. it's no longer on itunes, but it's apparently still on spotify and amazon music, uh, australia.
someone claimed the band name "calgary" so spotify no longer works. but if you're in oz:

"America has blown 80 years of accumulated goodwill & trust among its allies, our American moderator was told… America’s recent actions have destroyed the ability of any ally to continue to have faith in America to act even within its own strategic self-interest, let alone that of any ally.
The officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter.
Because 'we will never fucking trust you again.'
The Americans at the table seemed somewhat startled by the heat of that pronouncement."
Anyone startled by that pronouncement is insanely optimistic or incredibly naive. The damage DJT did during his first term would take decades to fix; the damage he's done since is absolutely irreparable. And while you might think that's awful or unjust, they only need to 'never' trust us again for maybe five years. Because there won't be a United States of America beyond that. DJT is running the country like any business that's been bought & is being sold for parts.

On International Human Rights Day, the Canadian Pride Caucus has issued a statement of concern regarding the use of the notwithstanding clause to undermine fundamental human rights. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
How do you pronounce GNOME, as in the GNOME desktop?
Random realization: MS Teams is the Lotus Notes of web meetings.
The purpose of human rights is to protect humanity, not to make life more comfortable for those from which humanity needs protection.

I posit that they understand it perfectly. Better than most of us, even. Because not only do they know what's in it for them, but they know how to sell it to the rest of us suckers so that it seems shiny, while hiding the enormous personal benefits to the billionaire class. And that requires a deeper understanding, imo.
Or they're just idiots and suckers with too much money, I'm open to that too.

If something doesn't work, even if it seems like a trivial issue, the easiest solution is to just make a new environment and download the appropriate dependencies for whatever you're doing. I installed 17 copies of the entire Laniakea Supercluster in the kitchen just to make breakfast this morning. I wonder where I put them.
Están haciendo un concurso sobre #smallweb y simplemente mirad la web de los nominados de cada categoría, qué maravilla. Totalmente el espíritu de las webs personales y blogs de antaño.
No me digáis que no dan ganas de montaros una web. Yo os animo totalmente, si tenéis alguna duda preguntadme.
En español apenas se ven de este estilo y es una pena.
