Anyone watching The Sandman spin-off?
Not yet but Neil Gaiman seems to be extremely positive about it so that's a good sign.

Halfway through Shogun off the recommendations in this thread. I thought Fallout would end up being my series of the year but this is feeling like some GOT-caliber material.
Shogun is on my to watch list. Excited for that one.
Just started watching the Netflix version of 3 Body Problem - it's looking pretty good three episodes in. Haven't read the book so no comparison yet, but heard it's quite different.

Added to the wishlist - preview stream sounded incredible, cant wait to pick this one up!

So you can make playlists on Bandcamp but not share them...I made a playlist called Colundi Every1 with the first track from every Aleksi album in my bandcamp collection (which is pretty fucking far from all of the music he's released) and it ended up being 53 tracks and almost 5 hours lol.

this is the way
Way too much work to listen to people bloviate. Bluesky is pretty good so far. Nothing in my feed except people I follow, no bots, no *p*u*s*s*y*i*n*b*i*o* etc.
Very chill.-

It's so mental to me that he got a grant from a Finnish Elevator company to fuck around with FFT transforms.
Anyways, colundi everyone!

@chenGOD Yeah sorry about it being Spotify, its the only practical way I can think of to share playlists. I'm open to suggestions. Is there a playlist format thats shareable? I wish you could make playlists on Bandcamp.
Aleksi gets a lot of discussion in 'New and Upcoming releases' threads but I thought we could do with a thread on the 'music' forum for general AP chat. So have started one here, including a 3 hour Midnight Sun Highlights playlist:
https://forum.watmm.com/topic/104787-aleksi-perälä-discussion-and-playlists
(and I spent a while stitching together all the Midnight Sun covers not realising @cear had done it already)
Hey man - sorry for sounding harsh. just spotify (streaming in general but spotify especially) has really devalued music. I'm guilty as well, I use Apple Music and Soundcloud. Your mention of playlists on Bandcamp made me curious - and when I was poking around there I noticed that my profile has 777 views (lucky Autechre number!) and 37 plays. Which is interesting - are people playing shit from my page? Or is that me?
Anyways - maybe the devs at bandcamp can figure out a way to create playlists or something, that could be user created but only from music they own, and it could have like one or two streams per registered user? I don't know, just spitballing.
Thanks for creating the topic!
Edit - it seems you can already create playlists - but only in the app.

Finally pulled the plug on twitter. What a festering shithole. No matter how hard I tried to train my algorithm to give me music and football, I kept getting vile shit, most recently some Hitler apologetics.
Anyways, done with it.

The seo spam is in the results how does ublock help against that
That’s where DuckDuckGo comes in. SEO is usually optimized for Google. DDG doesn’t draw from Google search results. Ublock also works against ads when using Google.

I hate Firefox. I used it some back in the day and after a while it shit the bed routinely. Typically I use safari and once in a while chrome when safari is being dumb which is usually when I need to input stuff into a form.Give Firefox a try again if you haven’t used it in a while. It’s way more solid these days. I use safari occasionally and very rarely Opera. If I could migrate away from Gmail I would for sure. But fuck knows how many things I’ve signed up for with either of my Gmail accounts.

sometimes there's a trade.. principles aren't free.. hence advertising and incoming Ai enshitification.. whereas paying $5 a month seems to get rid of the commercialization SEO adfuckery aspect of it all.. so.. perhaps the principles are maintained.. for $5 a month.
ublock origin, firefox and duckduckgo (duckduckgo does not call on Google search results) get rid of SEO adfuckery. All free.
$5 a month now...oh and looking at their wikipedia page, huh how about that - a tiered business model

the results on DuckDuckGo always where subpar to google
I never found that to be true. And paying to search is completely against the open and free principles the internet was founded on.

From his bandcamp page:
QuoteThe latest suite by composer (and Stars Of The Lid co-founder) Adam Wiltzie took shape following a move north from Brussels into the Flemish countryside, although it was initially inspired by a recurring dream wherein “if someone listened to the music I created, then they would die.” The album uniquely evokes and evades the allure of oblivion, keening between beauty and ruin, forever unresolved. Wiltzie cites the barbiturate of the title as both muse and sacred escape: “When you are sitting face forward on the daily emotional meat grinder of life, I always wished I could have some, so I could just fall asleep automatically and the feeling would not be there anymore.”
Recorded at Wilzie’s home studio, with strings added in Budapest at the old Hungarian National radio facility (Magyar Radio), the tracks feel simultaneously intimate and infinite, unfolding vistas glimpsed in an inner space. Robert Hampson of English drone rock icons Loop mixed the album, further lending the music a sense of cinematic expanse and oblique hypnosis. These are fugue states as much as fugues in a literal classical music sense – smeared epiphanies of uncertain memory and spatial dislocation, coaxed from the unconscious and set aloft.My review: A beautiful continuation of the work done with SOTL and AWVFTS. Instabuy.

"you've been making some good tracks" jfc.. buncha randos gonna spit out a lot of this shit and feel like they've been "working" all day making tracks.
also, that track is weird in parts. can hear the reverb doing something weird during some of the changes. it kind of smears and the reverb comes forward while the strings go to the back then they come back forward again.
Sounds like trash. Dynamics suck. plus that weird reverb thing you mentioned. Also totally unoriginal.

I fed it some Autechre style instructions. It is scary how good this is.
Hobos in the Sauna, the lyrics are all over the place timing wise. Moderately funny I guess?
That was some pretty generic techno in the second example - imo (sorry!)

ongoing lols @ all the babybrained kneejerk reactions this has brought out of Israel's celebrity defenders living in the lap of luxury a world away from all the death and destruction perpetrated in their name.
on the downside, a true disappointment to find that Rachel Riley, a woman I used to admire for her brains and humour and beauty altogether, is just as dumb as the rest of them.
I was confused at first because I thought Rachel Riley was famous for getting stuffed full of donkey dick, but then realized that's Riley Reid.

You do have a suspend belief a fair bit, that's the Fallout universe. But very entertaining.
