    steve jobs, A #1 asshole and kind of an idiot. parts 1 and 2. part 3 is out today and is wherever you get podcasts. edit: added part 3. can't wait for part 4. had no idea he was such a dirty new age hippie. didn't shower for long periods of time saying it made him healthier.. something to do w/mucous. total new age anti-vax vibes.. no wonder he died from a treatable cancer.

    i concur. those two sounded brittle to me and i think it was on purpose. i remember him saying he was thinking about "really aggressive dance music" or something so they were done in that vein maybe? but i'm not a mind reader and what "really aggressive dance music" is is anyone's guess.. but mainstream EDM was a thing in the USA and probably something different in UK. regardless, those two records sound different to me. i only own i think one or two songs from each of them as neither albums really jelled w/me. so, that being said, be up a hello was a return to form for me. the synths, the drums, the stabs the pads the bass etc.. all sounded way more natural or rich or deep or all those things.. sounded like a combination of all the things he'd done through out his career found a home in those tracks and made sense of all those ideas or something. i remember thinking.. "damn Tom... break your wrist more often" but please tom don't break your wrist ever again! and obviously there was more to his frame of mind than just the wrist and mending well so he could play bass etc.. but whatever.. people rate those two pretty high and for me they missed and i didn't get what they were about or something. a lot of people liked those albums. so much of his stuff is tops in every way.. he has all the chops

    i found it pretty intense the first time. i should see it again. some of the themes the movie hangs on are deep/complex tensions even though we know what is going on and why. it seemed that way to me anyways.. could've just been my brain and the feels. there's more than one thread in the story that is told very well i think and it's impressive they were able to tell those stories as they did at the same time. i wouldn't mind an even longer cut with more of paul's mom walking around talking to her fetus.

    i've not noticed an increase in burgers. watmm is quite silo'd sometimes. aphex, BOC subs especially, are kinda their own thing. i go in there and and there's different names, different people.. people running around saying things that don't make sense. not a sean pls in sight. it's like a WATMM suburb. btw any new members.. i'm sorry i called that guy a punter. he's probably fine. i'm old and out of touch. ask anyone. anyway.. dostrotime.. getting to know ye. it goes well w/BUAH. need to make a playlist.

    hmmm.. awful way to go.. slowly drowned by a locked up sealed up car after mixing up the gears and backing into a pond. https://nypost.com/2024/03/09/us-news/angela-chao-made-panicked-call-before-dying-in-completely-submerged-tesla-on-texas-ranch/ edit: and yeah.. same types of accidents happen in other cars but any chance to shit on elon/tesla... i guess. i think teslas should have required reading about what to do in emergency like this one.. the car has some peculiar qualities when it comes to doors and windows and what happens when the computer is submerged and unable to work. it is possible to kick out the rear windows and there is some kind of mechanism for opening a door when it's not responding but it's a thing that has to be practiced and requires remaining calm and being forceful.

    speech was so good i finished. now i feel dirty.. like i've betrayed my country. I'm going to have to marry that speech. make a baby with it. raise a family. put in an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. White picket fence. quilted toilet paper with triple layer action. electric lawnmower in the summer afternoon. iced tea on the porch. the neighbor's wife trimming the roses with her two husbands. the squirrels running in circles around a dead crow. Bin Laden dead. his corpse on a tray mounted to an air craft carrier. it tilts and his lifeless body slides into the ocean. a summer rain. the iridescent chemical swirl left on the wet street pavement by the garbage truck that collected pounds of single use plastic to take to a 100ft high landfill. ah, it's a special poem just for me and we all get our own special poem known only to ourselves. a secret we take to the grave. never will another person understand anyone else's poem. individuals bathed in light reflected off a thousand dollar smile from the news anchor who's naked below the waste.

    i've always thought of him as a thoughtful person who considers things reasonably but who knows what this is about. the track is basically noise and drones and samples. often i think when people say things like that it's because of a very personal specific experience. but as said.. who knows... the interview w/him by jamie lidell from his podcast is really good btw. https://podtail.com/podcast/hanging-out-with-audiophiles/howa-ep-79-atom/ https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL2hhbmdpbmdvdXR3aXRoYXVkaW9waGlsZXMubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M/episode/YzY5ZDJiOWYtMzQzNy00OTQxLTg2NDktNzgyNTNlYTNkYWE4

    there's going to be a struggle i think.. from younger people fighting their way in on all sides. it'll take some time but it's already happening. there are younger more progressive and of course younger totally batshit people in congress who are waiting for more people like them to come in and join whatever their fight is. i'm not the guy to make sense of it right now.. and i think regardless of who is in power they aren't going to do what really matters to make a big difference in the fate of the eco system that we depend on to survive. if it's a democrat there may be more kindness and civility at times.. and maybe we'll keep our healthcare options and get some "harm reduction" in many different ways. the rotten core of it all will not be fixed and i think it's naive to think it's possible w/o the whole thing collapsing first. "the whole thing" meaning the system we have now. until the economy is linked to the ecosystem in a meaningful way it's all going to slide off a cliff. economy and human civilization need to be divorced from the idea of continuous exponential growth. no one is going to dare to even talk about anything approaching those types of ideas.

    biden didn't run after obama left. deferring to hillary. i think he even said something like "it was her turn" but at the time he and lot's of people thought he could've won easily over the orange one. so it goes. well known story now. but the republicans have no one in the wings waiting either. there's a lack of 'young stars' in both parties.. at least people who could run for president and appeal to the masses.
