Thaemlitz will probably never spill the details, but I would love to know the production secrets of the bass on Midtown 120 Blues. It is so deep and wide that the album cannot be pressed on vinyl.

This is one reason why you should support indie labels, bandcamp weirdos, record stores that dare to be different, online music dorks, writers, critics, (micro) bloggers, etc.
This is the most predictable move
Labels: AI kills creativity and must be stopped
Me: they are going to stop opposing this as soon as they can make money and EXPLOIT LABOR

Your phone cannot tell you if your cat is a certain breed. My phone thought Fergus and Francie were a shih tzu. If you got your cat from a shelter or picked it up as a stray it is OVERWHELMINGLY likely that you have a standard mixed breed cat and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The Jazz Butcher said it best, "It was two or three years, for example, before it was explained to me that the Jesus and Mary Chain was in fact like listening to The Byrds with the hairdryer on."

If you ever visit Chicago and want a good (and/or haunted) day trip:
This is what you're actually looking at, btw. An exceptionally cool piece by David Wallace Haskins called Image Continuous. 3 sides are mirrors, but the 4th is this, a view of the sky framed by a reflection of the woods. It is ever changing, ever responsive to the conditions above & around the cube.

Chicago has always defied kidnappings of our neighbors - Chicago Reader
Even after the passage of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, local officials and everyday people resisted the legalized abductions of men, women, and children who had escaped slavery
