  1. This is really fun, 2 episodes in. Very relaxing. Wish it was longer and there was more painting, though.
  2. hmmm.... those vocals are going to take some getting used to. miss some of the overt electronic elements, but let's see...
  3. ooo cautiously optimistic. i listen to them every few years and forget how good they were.
  4. interesting, could be the first time they have made something sound less weird?
  5. awesome, he got jesse kanda, arca's go-to guy for visuals.
  6. love this group. they hit this weird hypnotic mood reminiscent of Coil. Snoopy is one of my faves to come out this year.
  7. Holy shit, this ruled so hard. Orson Welles parading around a foggy Paris like a chubby Zorro, looking phenomenal. Very unique editing style.
  8. Some recent notable things: Barton Fink (1990) - So good. One of their best. Definitely going on a Coen Bros. bender this week. Zappa (2020) - Well done documentary, recommended even for those who are not fans of his music. Son of Saul (2015) - Horrific and visceral descent into a concentration camp, but in a respectful way, I felt. Citizen Kane (1941) - I wasn't blown away but can definitely see the appeal. Ready to dive into the world of Orson Welles now. Mank (2020) - Brutally boring. Dogshit script, imo.
  9. not electronic, but the new Idles record, Ultra Mono, was a pretty big bummer aside from 1 or 2 songs. undercooked with pretty bad lyrics. shame, because they are one of the better rock bands out today. the new king krule record was not bad, just not very memorable. i was hoping for something more outstanding from such a talent.
  10. This Australian duo have a great new ep out, following what is one of my favourite releases of 2020, their album "Snoopy". For fans of Coil, HTRK... https://csandkreme.bandcamp.com/album/howwouldyoufeelwithoutthatthought https://csandkreme.bandcamp.com/album/snoopy
  11. Autechre - Sign Bohren & Der Club of Gore - Patchouli Blue HTRK - Over the Rainbow William Basinski - Lamentations CS + Kreme - Snoopy Brian Eno and Roger Eno - Mixing Colours
  12. Land of Silence and Darkness by Werner Herzog (1971) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U68tMGEqL5o "A 1971 documentary film about deaf-blind people and their experience of life." If you are looking for a good documentary, this is one of my favourites... although you may have to prepare some tissues as it exposes you to the pure existential torment of being locked inside a body. I have seen about 20 Werner Herzog films now and think this is one of the best.
  13. Yo, this is a beauty of a record. Maybe I'm just in the right head space but its quite relaxing, with some nice micro details throughout.
  14. This is hitting me hard right now. If it sounds good and the cover compliments the sound... i'm all in, baby.

    Now Reading

    That is awesome to hear! Loved the first one... was not prepared for it to go so psychedelic and technical towards the end. The Dark Forest was incredible, although at times it felt like a bunch of cool ideas strung together. I think the english translation did not flow as well as the previous book. With that said, I read the last 200 pages or so in one sitting, haha. Looking forward to the third.

    I just blasted through the first two books of Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem trilogy. Damn... mind-bending sci-fi. Strong recommendation.
  17. Cevin Key will be releasing his first solo album in a few years. You can listen to the first single here. It's pretty good, but supposedly 3 more tunes will be released before feb. Looking forward to those vocal tracks.
  18. I don't think he has worked for Apple for a few years now. He is an artist who has fallen into a bit of a formula no matter what he tries. You basically know exactly how a NIN track will go after about 30 seconds. So I think trying something outside his comfort zone like this and the old-timey score for Mank could have a good impact?
  19. My engagement with this record fluctuates wildly with each listen. weird... probably needs more time. but yeah, it's my favourite thing he's done in a while. Shame there aren't more interviews, he's always got some interesting ideas.
  20. Great video and cool song. Not something you'd expect from a guy in his late 60s. Sent me down a Oingo Boingo spiral.
  21. which one does the bleeps and which one does the bloops?
