Happy to unveil some new music I've released today on @bandcamp.com to ring in my birthday this year. It's an instrumental album called Penumbra, several variations on a theme, exploring the interplay of light and shadow. matthewmercer.bandcamp.com/album/penumbra

Four decades back a major label released a debut album that sounded like almost nothing on earth while still sounding incredibly familiar. Our man in San Francisco Ned Raggett takes stock of it all

Happy Birthday to the JAMC's Psychocandy, which turns 40 today!

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Once you've seen the sub-literate gibberish passed along among billionaires, the story of how elites came to exalt Bari Weiss, Thomas Chatterton Williams, and other stylists of 4th-grade book report prose snaps into place.
Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

Brian Eno released 'Another Green World' #OnThisDay in 1975.

A fabulous midpoint between his rock based material and the ambient scene he would master, this sounds just as otherworldly today as it did half a century ago.

Only 5 vocal tracks out of 14, but completely immersive.

"Also amazing are pancakes, folks. A new word nobody has ever heard. I came up with it. They're like cakes but from a pan. I call them pancakes. Christians too. Adopting to pancakes. Very big stuff. Ballroom. Huge. And some say flarpnozzle bing. Bingidy bangidy. So sad. Flurp."
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Wire could never live up to the critical adoration of their original, post-punk triad of records.

And 1988s 'A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck' is far from Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154 in terms of style.

But as a new wavish, alternative electronic record, it's top dollar.
