    Agreed. Just reminded me of some of the more generic actress stuff. I love actress so that's saying something. Not hating. I love this guys other stuff. Ah well. Evolution of sound innit.

    Haha, I'm right here with ya. Actress is one of my faves also but the more recent-ish stuff is hit or miss, and tbqh you could play me tracks from his and Andy Stott's latest and I'd have trouble guessing which it's from.  At this point it's like this predictable pattern at where the machine becomes self-aware, the weight of expectation that comes with burgeoning recognition, etc. which too often ends up with the artist either going deep conceptual or feeling the need to taking their sound in some direction for it's own sake.

    Just gonna leave this here b/c the video still is so ? clickbaitieé ?,  and yet RB is spot on about the Ukraine Crisis BS currently being spewed from all directions.  Could've posted this in any # of threads converging to the watmm singularity.

    speaking of phones - since first owning a cell phone back in 2005, I've always kept my phone on vibrate, and always keep it in my left front pocket. I think that has caused some sort of "phantom ring syndrome" to happen on my left leg. like sometimes I think my phone is vibrating in my left pocket, and I don't even have my phone with me. I instantly reach down to grab my phone when I feel what I think is my phone vibrating, and there's nothing there. I check my leg and there's no muscle twitch or anything like that going on. so the only reasonable explanation is my mind is playing tricks on me.

    Wild man, you are describing me to a T, like everything including the phantom vibrate.  By chance Are you left handed also?

    Might you have a link to a story/article about this chickanery, perhaps from a reputable news source? (big ask in 2022 I know)

    (dickhead translation: "source?")

    I'm a civil engineer btw, and on the whole our profession is rightly perturbed about the current state of our infrastructure in the U.S.  The ASCE gives out "report cards" to each state every few years for the condition/resiliency of various infrastructure (power grid, water treatment, highway & rail ports, etc.) and the grades are fucking atrocious.  Just one of those things rich ppl don't wanna pay for cuz how does it  benefit them?

    stupid first world achievements and successes

    It's 11 pm and I suddenly realize there's a parking ban (what with the incoming blizzard 'n all) AND my wife's car is still parked on the street.

    So I find her keys, throw on my slides and go to move it.  Start the car and the radio (as in FM) is on, basically b/c my wife is a music simp and will admit as much.  Sound kicks on and it's "semi-charmed kind of life" by third eye blind. 

    Instinctual at this point, no time to think.  Didn't even trust myself to shut off the radio properly, just parked that shit fast as I could in the driveway.  And by the grace of God, Robert A. Boobsa Dobblin managed to avoid the chorus entirely.

    bea pelosi running for re-election as the resolute, radical right begs big T to bring the (muthafuckin') rackus in novemeber like waco texas

    I for one applaud her bold decision to remain in power at the single largest RICO entity currently operating in the U.S.*  You deserve every single one of those insider trading dolla$ girl!

    * and yes the GOP is flagrantly more corrupted to the core, but there's fewer of them.

     

    master's thesis on IDM

    TL;DR I've always wanted to read a book on IDM/Braindance as the genre is older than I am and have always wondered what it was like to have just discovered the artists in the early to mid 90s. What was the transformation of these talented artists from "he/she makes great original music" to "he/she is an icon that everyone else just steals from now, and claiming said icon is bad is non-sensical gibberish ".

    Relate 100

    Really tho I wish I copped on to Autechre circa 95 so I could send in a postcard from tri-repetae plus 10 quid for a vinlys of YR We R Y r we, except I was a kid in the american suburbs and had absolutely no way of knowing such things exaisted.

    Plus my foray into electronix/technos was also delayed by the fact that the ppl I knew in college into late-stage rave cvlture were total d'bags.

    Taxes pay for civilization you greedy fuck.

    Roads, sidewalks, schools, parks, hospitals, fire departments are all there for the public good as they should be.  Everyone ought to be paying in according to their means.

    Demonizing the state or "big gov't" is disingenuous.  Sure there is plenty of inefficiency but the problems of poor allocation are not inherent, rather they are by way of unethical politicians and leadership directing revenues according to whatever political ideology holds sway.  You know, the c*nts your fellow billionaire cronies prop up to do just that.
