  1. The second outing in the CiM re-issue program is his debut Delsin EP dating from 1999. With 'Service Pack' Simon Walley subtly moved away from the dancefloor, creating a pack full with ear tickling and mind twisting electronica. Pure bliss.
  2. 50 pcs repress through Touched, original release 20 pcs CDR.
  3. Totally Under Control (Documentary) - available on Oct 13.
  4. EU targets Big Tech with ‘hit list’ facing tougher rules (Financial Times, paywalled, full article above)
  5. Sensurreal's first album finally available in digital, directly from the source. A few old stock CDs available, too.
  6. 'I had to do it': Trump suggests he got virus as act of political courage (ABC News)
  7. More broken beat goodness from Cari Lekebusch as MLK - the sixth installment where Penumbra is driving electro, Eschatologia nasty pumping breaks and Snared drops into deeper half-step territory.
  8. In His Own Words (Peter Welch/Still Drinking)
  9. Rod Serling, not Sterling - and he was a staunch human rights activist, a real mensch - anti-censorship, anti-war, anti-racist.
  10. The Prodigal Techbro (Maria Farrell/The Conversationist)
  11. Cory Doctorow: ‘Technologists have failed to listen to non-technologists’ (The Guardian)
  12. Blockchain, the amazing solution for almost nothing (Jesse Frederik/The Correspondent) (I wrote a rather scathing opinion on cryptocurrencies earlier, but deleted it because I had nothing constructive to say.)
  13. Here's a batch-o-electro I picked up today.
  14. We Must Save Democracy From Conspiracies (Sacha Baron Cohen/Time)
  15. 5/5 - and yes, the digital is up on Bleep.
  16. Definitely, I tried to follow Van Halen after they parted ways with Roth and got until For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, then my interest dropped. I also think that David Lee Roth Band with Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan and Greg Bissonette was a superstar group, Eat Em' And Smile and Skyscraper are absolutely brilliant albums. I've got a longish guitar hero fan history from my teens, starting with Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Van Halen, going through Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Tony Macalpine - and I still like them, went to see Vai's Passion and Warfare 25th anniversary tour gig here in Helsinki, wasn't disappointed. I've got a couple of guitars I still occasionally fiddle with (a Tokai AST-'62 sunburst strat and Ibanez Universe UV70PBK 7-string, if someone's interested). Eddie Van Halen's influence on guitar playing technique and guitar technical development is undisputed. Requiescat in pace.
