hello spiral

damn I didn't know he just upped and cancelled in NA I had tickets for the 2019 show in London and it eventually happened in October of 2021 And yeah, despite him being in his 'eh, it's ok I guess' album era since 2006, he always fucking slays live

agreed this sounds much rawer than Be Up a Hello. That one was far too polished for me. Every time I listen to it I've forgotten the whole album as soon as it ends.

We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various

Still got my skassette of that ye

Hello I am on a boat

;^)

My artist copies came today, was not prepared for how much work he would put into these

Hihi, I have a CDr out on venerable noise label Chocolate Monk http://chocolatemonk.co.uk/available.html

Rocky Path did a megamix of these that is well worth finding. He also did one of all the 9010101 tracks

Yeah that wasn't even on purpose lol, someone pointed it out after the fact prompt was 'a cat made of glass, half of which is melting at a high temperature, shaking hands with a duck in a business suit'

Some I've done

Cool vid, music felt almost incidental to the video, just providing the soundtrack. Will wait to see if it seems better in context of the album. Yeah opn hasn't been 'weird' in a long time. Someone the other day said 'coldplay for 'creatives' ' and that feels grimly correct. hated the last album after one listen, was lukewarm on Age Of. Will still check this new one out.

yah they had shirts at Barbican last year. Didn't think they did, I had to sniff'em out. Was down in the basement.

wow, vcool

Got me phone nicked last night by some toerag who shoved me over after nicking it then jumping on the back of a waiting moped. All of my internet is from my phone, was royally fucked. Had to go knocking on neighbour's doors at 22:30 on a Sunday until eventually one kind lady answered and gave me her wifi password so I could contact people. Couldn't get the signal from my flat though so I had to camp outside her door like a literal bloody hobo. This is the pic my ex took when she biked over to stay the night so I could leach the 5G from her phone and get my affairs in order. The phone was paid off luckily and I was now on an unlimited data sim only plan. So today I took the standard upgrade and got a new iphone14 pro. Swings and roundabouts.

I think he's painted himself into a nice and cozy sound palette corner since Tuss. The detuned acid lines, dry af drums, cop show dadfunk corner. Cool if you dig that I guess, I don't particularly. Also I am not impressed by the difficult gear technicalities behind how you got these tracks, whocares.gif, if this is the end result. There are some nice little compositional tricks and touches on some of those London 12" tracks, what @Alcofribassaid about elegance and lightness of touch. I just wish he could get out of this sound palette corner he's painted himself into, it's terminally dull. But as has been said 90000 times in this this thread, he does what he wants so *shrug*

P Mu got form this shit lol I listened to the Ambulance album via AM for the first time, one of my fave Mu albums that I used to own on CD. My fave track on there was not the right track, turned out to be another track by a completely different Mu artist. I tweeted sunken foals guy (ex-Ambulance) about it and he was like "have they still not fixed that yet?!"

I don't like the lack of creative freedom that comes with the territory of gear. It seems to turn into a dick measuring contest and also most of the focus is on the mechanics of getting your gear to actually fucking work and maintenance etc. It's music guy eq of those dudes who are always taking their cars apart in their driveways every sunday. Spergy compulsion. A daw to me is a blank sheet of paper and a pencil. Putting gear in the equation is like introducing a spirograph to the mix. Or to use another metaphor, wanting to get really good at fancy yoyo tricks. And no, if you go down the rabbitholes of gear people on social media, the dominant 'ideology' (aka bragging rights) is always along the lines of #analog #dawless etc

was this that ceramic pig comp?
