The number 1 request around here is fred penner but eventually I tell him I am having a turn

[luna]

So new nin

[Goose]

Its tasty.  Probably the best since YZ, with the exception of that annoyingly long deconstruction loop at the end of "The Background World". 

[luna]

I really like the background world 😂

[Goose]

Oh, I do too, but 7 minutes of the decaying loop is too much.  3 minutes, maybe 4, sure.

The new QOTSA is great! Really looking forward to new DFA next week

in the absence of mitigating influences I tend to disappear up my own asshole, musically (More esoteric drone! More atonal modern composition! More improvisational no-wave!)

This post has aged well. *listens to 40 minutes of crabs*


I've been doing Bandcamp Fridays since the pandemic started; it's interesting to track my mental state by my music consumption.

Early spring: ambient music, field recordings
I cultivate serenity and a stronger connection with nature

Late spring/early summer: Moor Mother, Dälek
I support radical black artists fighting against racism

Late summer: Chris Connelly, JG Thirlwell, Michael Gira
I seek comfort by returning to artists of my youth

Fall: Merzbow
I desire to physically deactivate my brain
