Fifty nine tracks done. Still need to do a bit of top and tailing of the audio, but the end is in sight. Then I just need to figure out how to categorise them into albums...
Nineteen tracks done so far. Only eighty (!) left to go...
Completed the recording. Including a few remixes it's ninety nine tracks. A bit more than I thought it was... Edits and mastering to do and then I have to figure out how to share them all. Anyone fancy a 12 album retrospective?

And now they've added an annoying footer popup. Have them employed the web manager from Reach or something?
It's 2025 and @theregister.com have decided that it's acceptable again to have auto playing videos - with audio - on their website. Hadn't even scrolled to where the video was, just got someone shouting as soon as the page loaded. Wasn't cool in 2001, ain't cool now.

Just put a new gallery up on the website - www.anexium.com/photos/paint.... This one is some abstract work based on the detritus from some paintings I did a few years back.

People who "create" AI slop should be forced to consume only AI slop and not be allowed to watch, read or listen to anything made by a human. Let them wallow in the cesspit of their creation.

A million times this.
I often say that for people like me every week is independent venue week: over 200 gigs last year, probably two thirds in indie places. I love them. I support them. I do however despair that that support is still not mutual. By which I mean: VENUES! PUBLISH YOUR FUCKING STAGE TIMES IN ADVANCE!

Hippos. Cute. Cuddly. Well, not quite. This is what happens when you get the infinite resources cheat in the evolution game and whack all the sliders to full. Check the thread, and don't have nightmares.
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

It's International Men's Day, so a quick reminder that if you have testicles give 'em a good fondle every so often to check for any changes in things like size, texture, or the ability to spot other ships at thirty nautical miles.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Maybe instead of changing all the icons in the Outlook app on Android, perhaps Microsoft's high quality developers could get it to actually display the email it's just given me a notification for. A radical idea for an email app, but I thinks it's got legs.

Nineteen tracks done so far. Only eighty (!) left to go...
Completed the recording. Including a few remixes it's ninety nine tracks. A bit more than I thought it was... Edits and mastering to do and then I have to figure out how to share them all. Anyone fancy a 12 album retrospective?
The recording continues. 47 tracks so far. Just for the shoebox with somewhere in the region of around 170 disks left to go through. Some will be duplicates and some just samples, but this is still a *big* piece of work. Then I need to edit and master them all. Might be done by Christmas...

I'm not one for Christmas jumpers, but the 303 from @sirpaintalot.bsky.social's Seasons Tweakings jumper would make for a cracking scarf.

This setup (with a different telly) is what I wrote all the Anexium tracks on from around 1999 to 2011. After 14 years I've set it back up again and plan to rerecord all the tracks - of which there is a *lot*. There's tracks who's names I barely remember, let alone what the track sounds like.

So sorry there’s no new Homebrew Horrorthon this year (still struggling to do stuff after losing Melissa), but if you need some creepy Electronica tonight you can find all 5 previous Halloween shows on Mixcloud, so head there and dive into the darkness 🎃 👻 www.mixcloud.com/homebrewelec...

This thread is great, if only for the phrase "vagina-compatible bullets".
It's the Fesshole/Vagina Museum crossover event you've all been waiting for. Tons of you tagged us into this across all of our socials, asking for a fact-check. The consensus of the reply guys is that it Didn't Happen. However, this is in fact very possible. Here's why...

If you have access to ITVX, they're now showing the Space Live channel. 24/7 (I think) feed from cameras on the International Space Station looking down to Earth.

Capita fined £14m for a data breach that saw 6.6m people have their details stolen. That's £2.12 per person. Good to know that the ICO values our personal data less than a supermarket sandwich. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Capita fined £14m for cyber-attack which affected millions
The outsourcing giant accepted liability, after the data watchdog said they failed to protect client data.
