i think it's all irrelevant. people should use whatever inspires them, whatever they have etc.. anything can be good (except akai rhythm wolf ). being purist about it all is absurd. people would rather make youtube videos than tracks.

oh not this again.

pretty speedy chat about suburbs being a ponzi scheme + racism.

idk.. it sounds pretty fucking dope and fleshed out more here... pretty epic.. it's just better every time i've heard it.. this is sick edit: yeah. this set is so good. the things they've added and filled out and fleshed out and just done the thing they do with.. are unreal good. all the way to the highspeed freakout at the end.. just so good.

yeah.. he's a total twat. florida is super car brained though. and total idiots about infrastructure since forever.. in the 70s and 80s people were asking for better public transportation and things like light rail etc and always someone would say "but it's so ugly".. like car traffic bottlenecked everywhere is attractive. some places are better than others though.. and have actual half way decent bike infrastructure and stuff. but it's all going to be underwater

pretty sure that's how some porn stars get their assholes bleached. new technique! edit: https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_s9uw756Gqh1zurqo3.mp4

that's interesting. Paul recently left portland and moved to LA w/his partner. she's an artist and her family is from down there. He toured with Puscifer a few times in recent years and his own Lead into Gold project as well. He's always been actively doing stuff even while helping run Malekko Heavy Industry. I never would've guessed he'd go in for one more Ministry record but why not? so many years have passed and life is what it was. I'll be curious what they come up with together. the ministry years where paul was involved are probably the best years of their releases ay? opinions vary i guess.. anyway... i'll have to check it out when it's released.

here's a youtube link to the ^^^ video the next episode of Frontline covers same topic https://watch.opb.org/video/children-of-ukraine-preview/ also, interesting chat.. starts out talking about the recent terrorist attack then gets to ukraine/russia geo politics a bit.. very reasonable analysis.

Russians Keep Turning Up Dead All Over the World A helicopter pilot who defected to Ukraine is the latest obvious assassination, but a range of businessmen, bureaucrats and political figures have also suffered suspicious deaths since the invasion https://archive.ph/F2rfM here' a snippet.

megastrucutre has some industrial techno and a bit of straight up industrial things w/vox. solid production. https://megastructure.bandcamp.com We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various

only if you can audit classes. i think it's really expensive.

hadn't heard of her but she just passed away a week ago. saw a tribute on instagram so found her bandcamp via 12K https://www.12k.com/releases/bitter-sweet/ https://sawako.bandcamp.com/album/bitter-sweet We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various here's the little instagram tribute to her by 12K https://www.instagram.com/p/C5YQc-YOzlz/?img_index=1 bummer. too young.

and there be merch

ukraine doing all they can/have to to send shit back at russia. this is nuts. turning russian mortars on a lathe so they'll fit smaller launchers... https://x.com/FunkerActual/status/1775928114805080430

problem is just so huge.. plastics need to just be banned except for essential uses like medical situations and stuff like that. soon the weight of plastic in the ocean will be greater than the weight of all the fish in the ocean. also, there's thousands of chemicals in plastics and they keep adding more.

he talks about that in the video if you stick with it. china is paying attention to what we do, iran is paying attention. so, being half assed about backing ukraine is not the way to go.. if we're gonna do a thing we need to do it... it's a wide ranging discussion in that video. edit: also, that guy he interviews isn't some asshole from nowhere. he was commander of US army in europe, senior advisor to human rights first and worked in logistics for UN and specializes in NATO/security etc. i'd guess he's pretty informed.

he gets into that in that talk. how creative the ukrainians have been. lot's of details around it. he's highly critical of congress shitting the bed and not doing its job. it's a very matter of fact and objective talk they have. not sensationalized garbage or russian narratives. discusses some global politics angles as well... and eventual collapse of russia.

in that video he gets in to details about ammo and who's doing what.. what's available, what's working etc.. also says things are stagnant in general and will remain so for a while. it's worth listening to. they cover a lot of ground and wide range of relevant topics.
