PNW. Weird music, weird movies, weird books, weird people. But fun weird.
Legendary Pink Dots have always been such a great live band in the 30 years I’ve been catching their shows. Tonight was another really powerful set. Orbit Service opened and also did a fantastic set. Such amazing music!

Closed out my 55th year with a half-marathon, my second organized one ever. I’m slow as hell, but I finished, despite just not doing a lot of training this year. Pretty happy with that.

Saying “That looks AI generated. AI still doesn’t understand what humans are supposed to look like,” is apparently not a cool thing to say when someone shows you photos of their newborn infant.

Hmmm, I’m pretty sure that’s a word, though it might be a proper noun…one of those pseudofood things sold by an influencer or something.

Between miles 3 and 4 of my run today at the track, a little girl about 6 or 7 ran up to me, said “Here you go!” and handed me this rock. I thanked her and when I read it, I just about burst into tears. It was a super kind thing to do, and I carried it in my hand for the rest of the run. #running

Got the Drumbrute Impact integrated with the setup. The MX-1 had to get reconfigured and wow is Roland’s documentation on MX-1 both accurate and incredibly obtuse. Threw a short pattern together in Massive X to make sure it all worked together. It’s kind of a hoot to play with.

They’re also change the name to the Department of Portation to just get the prefix “trans” out of it.

I didn’t run til age 54. Been at it just over a year. I’m slow as hell (11:00/mi avg) and it’s freaking crappy on wet days like today. 60 pounds lost, great BP and VO2 max, and being healthier than I was keeps me going back even when I don’t wanna get soaked like I did today. #running

Pulling the Roland MX-1 out of storage cramped my desk space so I’m trying a new layout. Gonna have to get some much longer audio cables, though. This time around, I actually understand the MX-1 and like it. I didn’t click with it when it first came out.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

I’ve been determined these last few months to actually learn all the random bits of music software I’ve accumulated. I spent a fair amount of time with Massive X and I guess I could pick a couple of nits with it but I kinda dig it. Got a couple of nice drone patches going.

Learned about this from the fediverse….if you’re in the US, there’s an index of Black farmers who sell direct to consumers. There are a lot of women-owned and organic farms in the list, and the index is organized by region.

I am very weary of grown-ass men in the Industrial scene donning borderline fascist attire, sporting Hitler youth haircuts like they fought in WWII. It's 2025 now. It's not ironic or edgey. It never fucking was. The only message you're sending is that you are a douchebag.

When I’m doing hills or long runs, I do think a lot about walking when I reach some arbitrary landmark.

And I do often think about feeling pretty good when I’m running…usually on the flats.

Have not been feeling upbeat synthwave vibes, so went back to my noise/industrial roots for my new WIP. Angry rhythmic stuff - probably closer to the vein of Hyposkull or Synapscape and such… on.soundcloud.com/oFwpz8r4D1QY...

As a guy who grew up in warm temps and whose hands are extremely sensitive to being the least bit cold, running in sub-40F (~4.5C) temps isn’t my favorite. So, I dressed like a bandit…but a colorful bandit, which is on-brand for me.

Watched a 1971 Ken Russell movie called “The Devils” last night. Power-hungry zealots use religion to divide and destroy an independent town and turn many of the townspeople against the town’s flawed but enthusiastic defenders.

My new album NHI is now available for pre-order on bandcamp.

NHI is a sonic journey into the age of disclosure, where the truth about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) and Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) comes to light.

Feeling pretty tired tonight but have been motivated to get back to making angry noisy industrial beats. It’s been a long time, but I got a start I was pretty happy with and can build on.
