📚 I’ve been “stinge” reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, because it’s so excellent, with each entry being a different angle, a different poetry, a different voice, a different caution.
🎶 Sometimes I think about how Quake II soundtrack is still one of the best (industrial) rock albums of all time and what that means for the stuff other bands are slinging at us.
📚 Seems like linga plus standard ebooks could be a good way to practice language?
🕊️🎶🏆 Seriously considering creating an alternative to the Dove Awards called the “Bloody Lamb” awards, specifically for hard music. Non-commercial, grassroots, etc.
Send thoughts to:
🎲 I have two very nice RPG books I want to send to a good home, instead of HPB.
Dictionary of Mu by @Judd@mastodon.social . Very cool book but I have no interest in Sorceror.
Whitehack 2nd ed. notebook version by Christian Mehrstam. My fave d20 game, but I’m on to 4th ed. & had multiple copies.
Did some nice döstädning today, starting with a Half Price Books drop off, a rearrangement of some of our bookshelves (mainly our “collections” shelves) and clearing out of some other areas.
Feels better in the library now and we’re going to do puzzles now (traditional for spouse and Lego for me).
🎶 Remembering that time in college that I DJed on hard mode by playing Tool’s Ænima, forgetting how many bleeps I’d have to do.
I only missed a couple!
Worship leaders: “please stand in body or spirit”
Me: “imma stand in spirit”
📺 finally saw the Amsterdam episode of Ted Lasso. So charming!
🎶 as someone with a million Front Line Assembly, Fear Factory, Delerium, Conjure One, Noise Unit, Synæsthesia, etc. albums, I don’t say this lightly:
Rhys Fulber’s self-titled techno releases might be his best work.
🎶 How did I not know that there’s basically a new Cornerstone Festival? (Audiofeed)
That said, likely to be way more bands I want to see at Furnace Fest, which I intend to go to again this year.
📺 ok, I watched the new Daily Show. Stewart was hilarious, but Jordan Klepper’s reply about cynical-both-sidesism was 💯
The honest answer to “Clinton/Biden is a bad candidate” is “yes, but Trump is way way worse,” not “well they all kinda have their flaws and isn’t that funny?”
🎶 I am destroyed and ground to dust any time Silent Planet performs Panic Room.
🎶
- Johnny Booth: sorry I missed them because it seems like they had some brain-smashing hardcore energy
- Aviana: good tunes online but pretty monotonous in person
- Thornhill: too often trying to be a Buffy band singer, but hard tracks were good
Time for some #homeworkcore from Silent Planet!
Making good choices on Fat Tuesday 🤭
I was skeptical but hopeful.
I’m excited to say the new notes feature for micro.blog has a lot of potential to become really useful.
I didn’t do this on purpose
