I'm still considering how to arrange all my favs, but I built this grab bag that gives you 10 albums I that I liked, at random (tho I need to add stuff from the past month), and I also just built a 2023 music critic simulator that will generate some potentially questionable opinions about music from the year, so if anyone's looking for a novel way to find stuff from this year, I think it's a fun one

This was intended by Autechre, as a way of discouraging people from listening to it on vinyl, because it's digital music

Blectum from Blechdom have some singing but also a good chunk of instrumental material. Then there's also Fe-Mail, though that's noise

I really wish that they would invent another political position besides president. It seems so difficult that our only chance at having good politics in this country is to elect the perfect leftist to this one position. Like yeah, obviously once we achieved that, we'd have a total victory, and would see zero pushback from congress or the supreme court. So people are absolutely justified on having tunnel vision over the presidency. But sometimes, I wish there was another way.

It's so funny to me that Grimes is "Grimes" like can you even imagine "hi yes I'm Grimes" and you're an adult with children saying that kind of shit

This is way too much penetration!

This is cool but it is still not the exact thing that I want to hear from this prompt. I don't think AI can rightfully be considered good until it can successfully satisfy this prompt

Love this album! So many unexpected developments in the tracks, to the point where it feels like the whole thing should fall apart from getting pulled in opposing directions, but there's something I can't quite put my finger on that's holding it all together.

Re: features, the press release shown on https://www.turntablelab.com/products/oneohtrix-point-never-again-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp seems to suggest that we may see some from Lee Ranaldo, Jim O'Rourke (?!), and Xiu Xiu.

Do ALEC laws actually appear in many states? I have a hard time taking them seriously, they have Laffer as one of their economists.
I appreciate the movement away from horserace/wacko candidate, but i guess ALEC and that project2025 "think" tanks, are responsible for much of the wackiness. They all want to cut taxes, reduce government (well they say they do - project2025 policy actually increases the size a lot of govt departments lol), and do away with pesky regulations.
"The Energy Discrimination Elimination Act is just one of the thousands of pieces of legislation ALEC has disseminated nationwide since its formation in 1973. According to a two-year investigation of “copycat” bills published in 2019 by USA Today, the Arizona Republic and the Center for Public Integrity, state lawmakers introduced nearly 2,900 bills based on ALEC templates from 2010 through 2018. More than 600 of them became law."
20% success rate is pretty good for them (and bad for us). Tho as far as state numbers go, I'm not sure, but I'd guess any of the ones with republican dominance in state governments are getting hit by it

As someone who actually does policy work in government, I just want to say that think tanks don't make policy.
Also that document is full of so many contradictory recommendations it is near worthless. It may have some worth printed out and then lit on fire to keep Texans warm in the winter when the power grid goes out.
Well I mean ALEC does provide a lot of copy-paste laws that pop up in many states on the legislative side, but I'll admit I don't know a lot on how it works with executive branch departments. I mostly just wanted to try to see if there could be any movement away from the horserace/wacko candidate/prison speculation type of stuff.

If you guys wanna see the details of what's getting cooked up for the next republican president, the think tanks that make the actual policy have put out some extensive documents https://www.project2025.org/policy/

I'd try to find a way to turn the wealth into more money, and then use the money to support my favored causes

Personally if I saw some soldier making puppy dog eyes at me looking in thru my window while I eat a big turkey dinner, I'd feel pretty shitty. But maybe thats because I have a HEART

Everyone has the right to be shitty, this is america, it's in the constitution (3rd amendment). But we have the right to say that he sucks for it (one of the other amendments)

No see that's why this is such a betrayal to go on tucker

I'm pretty sure we hate cops more

2023: Your favourite music

Yeah I think for me, I've always had a lot of fun focusing on the new music, though I think I found a better balance for new and old this year
This got me to 438 releases from 2023, so about 1.3 a day so far. Though I'm probably going to go wild digging through all the stuff that people mention in their lists, like I just found out about this very peculiar mix of synthy arabic popular music and jazz, so psyched for all the coming discoveries like this one
https://raedyassin.bandcamp.com/album/kaf-afrit
Did everyone hear the Hakushi Hasegawa single that came out this year on brainfeeder? It's less IDM-adjacent than his single from last year, but I think it should still be of interest to many ppl here
