Music

    🎢 Recent listening matches my various musical proclivities pretty well:

    • atmospheric deathcore
    • super chill dub
    • piano
    • christian industrial
    • darkjazz
    • jazz metal
    • industrial rock
    • christian metalcore (I listen mainly to the old albums)

    Missing: industrial techno, because it’s spread across many artists.

    🎢 I find most dream pop to be boring, but Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X is a massive exception.

    Seen on elephantsite:

    🎢 “Are you ready for some futbol? 🎢 #MLS ⚽️

    🎧 attempting headphone repairs 🀞

    🎧 We’re having a Gamache-a-thon because the audiobook is due back to the library soon.

    🎢 I often think about how Katatonia’s re-release of their album as a semi-acoustic version was genius:

    Dead End Kings becomes Dethroned and Uncrowned

    🎢 I think it might be bandcamp friday.

    I used Plex mostly for 🎢, but tonight we dove into πŸ“Ί and πŸŽ₯ with the addition of an HDHomeRun and antenna. Hope this works!

    🎢 It’s not the end of the year, but we’re getting close. Here’s about where it will land. (Much more to come in end-of-year music post.)

    🎢 Just heard a new (to me) track that was intriguing, so I checked out the artist and….

    …ok, go on.

    (the band is Ne Obliviscaris)

    🎢 How do you get from louisville-rock to antifascist red-and-black-metal?

    Apparantely through:

    • post-rock
    • super-indie-christian industrial
    • extreme christian metal

    This is an example of the “DJ Stretch” feature in PlexAmp, and it’s really fun.

    πŸŽΆπŸ•ŠοΈπŸŒŸ It’s that time of year when I get to enjoy my favorite #MetalMennonite song as much as I want.

    Becoming the Archetype - O Holy Night

    🎢 Obviously not what artists are “optimizing” for, but some artists (esp. industrial-ish ones) would shoot to the top of listening charts for some of us if they didn’t spread their work across so many projects.

    • Klayton
    • Rhys Fulber
    • Andy LaPlegua
    • etc.

    🎢 jog my memory: was Thursday mostly a one-hit-wonder or did people listen to lots more than Understanding in a Car Crash?

    πŸŽΆπŸ“ Who wants to go to Igorrr (+ Melt-Banana and Otto von Schirach)? Sep 28 at the Vogue

    (It was awesome when I saw a full-band experience in Chicago.)

    edited to add: I reserved a table as well as a ticket.

    🎢 Plexamp added β€œguest DJ” modes, and they are pretty awesome additions on top of the mix/radio options that were already available.

    Here are a few examples of each:

    🎢 I’ve done the thing. Come to my festival. Thx.

    (I’d like to rearrange days/stages to group them better, but ok.)

    Silent Planet is selling their β€œheal us” design again, with proceeds benefiting a Colorado Springs based LGBT advocacy and support group. πŸŽΆπŸ•ŠοΈ

    This is my favorite shirt design and I’ve bought it multiple times on tees and hoodies. Pictures through the link.

    Do yourself a favor and enjoy this groove session every once in a while. It always makes me grin:

    🎢 Marc Rebillet feat. Madison McFerrin

    This ⚽️ announcer just called swearing β€œindustrial language” 🎢 and I’m officially calling it that now.
