danke! i didn’t know if many people would be into a sorta drifting digital-tribal thing like that… glad it ain’t just me that liked it i’ve been sitting on the recording for like a year but just reassessed it recently and did some quick mixing/trimming and it felt nice to kick it out. really appreciate the kind words chen, i’m really proud of the work & the final result, i know BttS is stoked for it to be out there now too, he’s really thoughtful & passionate about keying in just right on a vibe and idea, i think his stuff is just great here.

right?!? can’t unhear it

https://www.npr.org/2024/02/01/1228316748/eu-ukraine-aid-hungary-orban very good news for Ukraine’s long term ability to stay afloat while being invaded by a lunatic. obv no one wants it to go on for three more years but if it does they’ve got some safety net $. if they can keep themselves together is another thing, i know there’s some turmoil between Zelenskyy and one of his generals rn.

BIden's administration has actually gotten a lot of things done, a large portion of them good. but the bigger things that get attention haven't been among that so it's hard to make that clear to the general public. they've also supported a lot of really bad shit (Israel's horrific continued reaction to the Hamas attacks most obvious among them). the weird hyper-praise for all things vaguely left-ish is an odd tone tho. idk that he's the best, but he's been far better than most people understand and certainly more than he's being given credit for. his significant and visible decline physically (and likely mentally) is going to be VERY stark over the coming months when he has to start making more live public appearances for campaigning etc. Trump's aging a bit too but it's not anything near where Biden is now vs ~4 years ago. it's going to be hard for Biden to get people out to vote when he's the face of the administration, no matter how much of things behind the scenes is actually his hand. if Harris were more seasoned/likeable/trained for vaguely leftish politics she'd be the obvious face to bolster the admin's bid for reelection but i think i'm hearing even less of her over the last year than the previous years they've been in power. Trump has a serious shot, unfortunately. but i think most of us in the center/left/farish left of the country will vote for a goddamned Biden corpse puppeted up onto the stage instead of Trump so maybe things will turn out alright. it's always a back and forth anyway. 2 party system is the real enemy. down with the polarity.

the only thing more boring than seeing Taylor Swift cut to for ~5 seconds of reaction shots 3 times a game is old guys whining about it. the fact that it gets under everyone’s skin and is inspiring conspiracies from the dumbest among us is truly lovely tho. keep it up Tay/Trav.

now playing the 2008 12+ hour webcast. just playing it on my phone for the last few days keeping its spot in the whole run. first three hours is 95% hip hop. 9 hours to go

*citation needed

be the Squarepusher you want to see in the world

i caught the last ~45 minutes and it was good shit, need to give the whole thing a listen back of course.

based on that sound, apparently someone's playing a CD of Daft Punk's Homework that's stuck looping the first few seconds of track 1

it’s a guest spot on Chromasy’s regular radio show for RTMFM

metal sleeve w/ metal vinyl.

'maybe public beta in a few weeks, maybe in a few months' they might release it in the next couple of years based on his timeline estimates so far. 2025. ish. it looks & sounds great, of course.

release day bump, all tracks up now

literally never heard of them. i know almost nothing regarding actual dance culture

https://divinerights.co.uk/products/autechre-oversteps-cardbox https://divinerights.co.uk/products/autechre-ae-200914-210815-cardbox tDR briefly had up a few leftover postcard boxes for this and AE_LIVE as well up earlier today apparently. i'm assuming just a handful. all gone now. noticed a few of the original Oversteps artworks have sold as well.

it's a goddamn masterclass

everything he says at 18:00 is (at least kind of) wrong: domesticated animals are essentially a 'technology' that make their own decisions/etc. which he claims no other tech has ever done. he claims the algorithms disseminating social media are AI technology which is by and large false, and he says 'much' of the content on social media itself is AI generated, which is for now almost entirely incorrect, there's very little actual AI-generated content out there at the moment. those last two things may change, of course, but he's incorrect. 'ultimately our power is based on words' is 100% truth. the AI and economics is well worth thinking about...the right program could really manipulate/destroy some financial markets (if that's not already happening). i ain't got the interest to watch another hour+ of that tho but that's my impressions from ~10 minutes of watching

pops up during that sample bit ~1+ min in which seems to be what the sample is saying....sample source spotters? ~4:25 HUMANOID MUST NOT AGREE then at ~5:45 SUNG BY DAVID BOWIE ... TALISMAN RED SAID IT WAS ... THE BREAK INTO THE FUTURE ???

haha holy fuck that track slaps. goddamn goddamn goddamn
