  1. really thinking of pulling all my shit off the streaming places again. my year payment for Distrokid comes up for renewal in June, i don't see much value in even spending the ~$20 to keep my stuff up in those places...i'm reminded of this every few months with each new newscycle of Spotify/etc. bullshit. as far as i can tell only a handful of people are listening to my stuff there anyway so i hate to take that away but also i worry i'm part of the problem of course... idk idk idefk
  2. i watched Jurassic World (3rd time i think?) and it's still a fun romp. the middle parts of action reminded me of some Aliens type vibes, with the multiple 'soldiers' in the dark getting picked off by the dinos, with their individual cameras/life signs monitors getting taken out one by one. schmaltzy and leans into the cliches obv, but makes for a fun watch. also for some reason decided to try Post Grad which was....unsurprisingly boring. i saw the cast thinking maybe there was going to be some fun quirky weird twists to the coming of age/rom com thing it presents itself as but...nope. it's just about this character getting out of college, with cutesy hijinks (all bland as fuck), boring 'romance' shit, just really bad. and last week i watch The Spy Who Loved Me which was kind of cookie-cutter Roger Moore era Bond, probably around when they'd figured out the formula that really worked for the franchise and were just churning them out. it was okay, not very engaging, but not bad or anything. been catching some weekly VHS online watch parties via Mastodon which have been silly/fun. 80s/90s direct-to-video trash. and watching Svengoolie most Saturdays the past few months (varying degress of 'watching' there) so filling up my catalog of mid-20th century horror schlock and such.

  4. enjoying my Nymphes very much, but another 6 voice from Dreadbox with a TON more flexibility? sounds v nice. comes as a bundled kit with all needed components, so no separate Eurorack enclosure needed.
  5. i for one refuse to touch the Granulator III until it has AT LEAST 12 voices!! in fact i’m considering returning my copy of ABLETON LIVE 12 SUITE and writing a review on Yelp about this horrid customer service experience with Granulator III by Robert Henke. this is a travesty that i go to play 9-11 note chords with Granulator and it JUST CHOKES like WTF this is 2024!!!1! note stealing?!?!? i feel like I AM the one whO HAS BEEN STOLEN FORM!!!
  6. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/14/1238555789/chuck-schumer-calls-for-new-elections-in-israel-breaking-with-benjamin-netanyahu?utm_medium=JSONFeed&utm_campaign=news&utm_source=press.coop America making a play for the Israeli throne. his ‘ ‘ ‘“”potential”” ‘ ‘ ‘ successor already met with some top US pols a week or so back. v curious (re:scared) to see if this sends Netanyahu/his friendlies into a rage or what.
  7. interesting that the ‘operatives’ are bringing this to light now, i wonder what the play there is. anti-Trump goals maybe? Reuters isn’t ever paywalled as far as i’ve seen, it did prompt me for a bot-check puzzle thing before loading tho
  8. i'm sorry but the actual music for the game Solstice is way better than Klopjob:
  9. starting to understand how a cop can hear an acorn hit a car window thinking it's a gunshot if they see a turkey and think it's a chicken
  10. the fact that so many notice and/or dislikes the 'sound' of these records is a big clue that the mixing and/or mastering is not very good. this is really one of the last things any listener should notice: good mixing/mastering gets out of the way and/or enhances the music. i'm all for interesting/weird/unique approaches to these things, but when every album comes out and much of the chatter is 'oh it sounds weird tho/i kinda liked it but i didn't listen to it cause it sounded weird' that's kind of ...not good
  11. i went ahead and downloaded & installed it, read some good and some bad on the Ableton forum...seems to be solid for me on my Macbook Pro w/ M1 Pro. haven't tested it to any wild extents but i pushed it with my normal jamming and it's working well. only played a little with Meld and some alt tunings so far really.
