  1. I had a work pal who retired in 2020. We started having weekly dinners in summer '21 in a surrogate dad-son kind of energy. Last October, it was my turn to drive and I was wearing a homemade Aphex shirt. He asked "what does that symbol mean"? I explained it to him and then Drukqspilled him on the ride home--last 2 minutes of "54 Cymru Beats" obv. He paused for a really long time and then said: "that kind of music can really raise your blood pressure". He had open heart triple bypass surgery 3 weeks later. This is 100% true. I don't think Richard was causative in this case but we'll never be sure.
  2. Lush tracks indeed but just gonna YouTube it I guess. Can't find any files.
  3. Happy for Travis and the teaser tracks are tasty but this Mercury KX label is just the old guard BMG-Universal in disguise. As such, digital vinyls will be a ballache (no Bandcamp/Bleep/Boomkat). I hope to be proven wrong or to at least get an iTunes option. I still never got Clark's recent stuff because those old fart labels like Deutsche Grammaphone only think in CD and vinyl.
  4. Sometimes, the bits just write themselves. I was watching some live stuff at a work computer, which doesn't have adblock. Dig the suggested ad to the right hahaha* *no shade to lgbt frans, actually love Sufjan, bought "Age Of Adz" and "Carrie & Lowell", etc.
  5. ye, "What's next? Sven Vath playing kazoo over 'Sheet One'?" was a solid zing
  6. Crazy how time flies. "Girl/Boy (£18 Snare Rush Mix)" is up to "Girl/Boy (£35.95 Snare Rush Mix)"
  7. looking for "dmstic xprnc" or some permutation to show up in track or album titles soon
  8. Shit sells out in seconds these days. If it's not a festival, you can't get in.
  9. Any Righteous Gemstones here? I know it's lowbrow af at times but I can't resist it. Every episode has something in it that tickles the hell out of me.
  10. This was peak Nails for sure. I'm going to Primavera LA in September primarily for Tront but others will be good too (Bicep, Special Request, Tim Hecker, "I am Lorde, ya ya ya", etc.)
  11. oh man thanks for this heads up! Locust Lunch EP again after all these years! "Smile Without Cause" was major key for a youngster self.
  12. Americans--who will come to Detroit to go see him at Movement? Euros get him frequently but it's not often that he's stateside. Hit me up if you want to fart on some bleachers.
  13. Enjoy man. Kendall's trajectory across the next 2 seasons made it really compelling for me but we're spoiled for choice on that show. The whole thing had me chomping at the bit in ways I haven't for a show in awhile. Keep checking back in!
  14. https://www.movement.us/ I want in on that Blawan and Jeff Mills. The nostalgia in me wants that Goldie/Bukem b2b too. Was curious if there was any interest from the WATMM crew. Would like at least one mature raver to hang with.
  15. I'm doing the big transfer and it seems he's having a go at Renee with this cover modification? ?
  16. I instabought the deal to cover my gaps. Quite a bit of overlap in my case but it makes the releases $2.25 a piece and puts Christmas money in J-Paap's pocket. Speedy is genius honestly. I always get fixated on reverse engineering tracks. I can remember asking somewhere how even though "DX" is in the title of dx-snth, there's no way FM synthesis could ever be that lush. I've always had PSS series Yamaha sounds in my head or Sega Genesis. Somebody answered that I'd be surprised over what could be done and the DX100 was all over Aphex's ambient works stuff. Anyway, I wish I could play that one for myself because it's like an audio analogy of the sun. I'd time the transitions to fade up across an actual night, into the sunrise and then conclude at dusk.
  17. Was washing my hands and stumbled upon a realm somewhere between blast beats and IDM depending on how the dial was caressed
  18. I think we've all been where drillkicker's at and sometimes, answers like this would get me even more enraged and sullen. The thing is: it's the right answer. I went to a redwood preserve in the Rogue River-Siskiyou national forest in south Oregon on Saturday with Skee Mask's "Pool" on the headphones. There were points where I had full body chills like an orgasm or a really good shit from just being in this place. I pulled out my GoPro at one of those times and put "LFO" on the footage to help remind me of how wicked it was. We may indeed still be tortured by a dog god but He has pockets of respite if you know where to go at least. Woof.
  19. now this isn't intended to be a dig at you because you're definitely in line with the convention of the times but why isn't everybody going with "nothinmuffin"? It has great rhyme and it's a foodstuff. Everytime I hear "nothingburger", it's like a linguistic pratfall in my head. My mom used to call me a nothinmuffin when I was being sullen or depressed. Maybe it's just not as widespread as I thought but I'm gonna start a campaign I think.
  20. Hey what the shit--was listening to the YouTube of it at 33rpm and it's bloody tongue "clucks" as one of the percussion elements on "Weakling Child". I'll be damned. Also, somebody should totally submit one of those locks for Drukqs testing to see what Richie was copping over the duration of '96.
