2026 is the new 2016 apparently.
A high-contrast, black-and-white album cover for Moor Mother’s "Fetish Bones." A person is draped in a translucent white fabric that covers their head and body. Their face is partially obscured by a dark wrap, leaving only one eye visible and staring directly at the camera. The background appears to be a weathered stone or concrete wall. A textured, abstract album cover for "Ears Are Filled With Wonder" by Peter Brötzmann and Heather Leigh. The central image is a rough, hand-drawn sketch in black ink on a stained, off-white square. It depicts a cylinder and a triangular prism. The background is grainy and multi-colored with muted blues, greens, and reds. The album cover for Oren Ambarchi’s "Hubris." The bottom two-thirds of the image is a dense, repetitive pattern of small, white, eye-like spheres with black pupils resting on a brown surface. The top third is a plain cream color containing the artist's name and album title in blue and orange text, followed by a list of collaborators in small white font. The album cover for Leonard Cohen’s "You Want It Darker." It features a black background with a white-bordered rectangular frame in the center. Inside the frame, a black-and-white photo shows an elderly man in a suit and fedora looking to the side, with one hand holding a cigarette extending outside the frame into the black space.

Do canonised albums eventually become nostalgic objects or does longevity itself produces nostalgia?

Frutiger Aero nostalgia is just Retrowave for people who grew up with the iPod Touch. It’s the same aspirational corporate longing that makes Boomers obsessed with 1950s advertisements. Different aesthetic, same "lost future" brain rot.

Second drawing of 2026. #drawing #inkdrawing
Black ink drawing on light paper showing a dark human silhouette on the right, standing upright. From the figure’s head and upper body extend tangled, ribbon-like lines to the left, connecting to a grotesque, skeletal creature made of multiple skulls stacked and fused together. The creature has horn-like shapes at the top and long, dripping, threadlike forms trailing downward, creating a haunting, surreal scene

Burning 30 albums onto a single CD-R, but knowing that disc is basically a shiny coaster to every single device on earth except a very specific Sony CD Walkman.

Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

New year, new episode of Outertones on @campradio.bsky.social

Tune in tonight at 7pm CEST for an exploration of ‘latency’ in sound. Sound that hesitates, overlaps and arrives slightly late.

Ft. Autechre, Jana Winderen, Caterina Barbieri and more!
Abstract black ink marks scattered across multiple horizontal music staff lines on a white background, resembling experimental or fragmented musical notation rather than readable notes.

A photograph of a page from a music manuscript book, filled with abstract, calligraphic black ink marks that suggest musical notation. Numerous dots, dashes, curved lines, and scribbled shapes are distributed across multiple empty staves, creating a non-traditional, expressive musical score.

Looking back at 2025. See you in the new year!
A 3×3 collage combining concert photos and monochrome artworks. Several panels show abstract geometric line drawings with circular cutouts and layered polygonal shapes. Others depict dense string-like or wireframe compositions, including a human skeletal figure, an architectural archway, and a raven sketch. Interspersed are live concert scenes with stage lights, musicians, and band logos glowing against dark, smoky venues.

Couple of late Christmas presents from myself. #jazzsky

Daniel Spicer - Peter Brötzmann: Free-jazz, Revolution and The Politics Of Improvisation (2024)

Rodger Coleman - Sun Ra Sundays (2022)
Two paperback books lying side by side on a wooden table. On the left is Peter Brötzmann: Free-Jazz, Revolution and the Politics of Improvisation by Daniel Spicer, with a blue cover featuring a photo of saxophonist Peter Brötzmann playing on stage. On the right is Rodger Coleman’s Sun Ra Sundays, edited by Sam Byrd, with a pink and yellow cover designed like a radiating sunburst.

First it was lead poisoning and now it is “irony” poisoning that will be the death knell of civilisation.

Unoffical soundrack to Marble Madness.
Album cover art for François Bayle's "Tremblements," featuring an inset grayscale image of water ripples and shadowed forms, framed within a series of nested, isometric square outlines against a light tan background, and displaying the GRM label logo and text.

Made the mistake of looking at the comment section for Facebook posts relating to this year’s Turner Prize.
