Secondhand Nord Drum 2, priced by someone who hasn't seen them going for twice this amount.

One of the all-time great drum synths for someone capable of swooping on this.

At the risk of posting deep cut dweebery, freedom is the right of all sentient beings.

But there's a better fictional character to name this after if you're misguided enough to see it as a suit of armour around the world.

I'll stop now before I try for a hat trick.

Sorry. As you were.

It should be possible for musicians to whinge openly about having to hustle without it being interpreted as passive-aggressive hustling.

My tactic here is to vaguepost whinge so no one can tell which specific thing I'm whingeing about having to hustle for, so no one feels on the hook for ignoring.

Very cool. The Korg Nu:Tekt NTS-1 synth & NTS-3 Kaoss Pad have SDKs and dev communities for building and sharing extensibility.

Now this YouTuber has built a no code web client for automating the conversion of Pure Data patches for either platform.

Sharing with @labourbristol.bsky.social so they have knowledge of the evidence base to inform policy.

BLUF - this is social engineering to create community pathways to push society to the right, with the extreme right platformed and promoted as part of that system.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

84% of trans people polled by YouGov said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. A terrifying story - founded on actual data - which the BBC still refused to carry.

My new album, COLDSTREAM EMPIRE, releases tomorrow on Every Contact Leaves a Trace.

In preparation for that, I've re-released LūDō on Bandcamp. LūDō was previously available only on Bluesky (thread below).

Of course it's still free here, if you don't do Bandcamp.

just discovered the bizarre "reimagine" function that appeared on my google pixel's photo editor during the last software update - in this case, "reimagining" an ordinance survey map via the prompt "a different map"

Why on earth do asylum seekers need to be more than half a mile from Inverness high street? Is he worried that they might take over an empty shop front and rejuvenate the local economy

Dealing with the building insurer because the tree outside is causing damage to our house. There's a reading of the Sepultura song where they're just super-pissed about their subsidence claim.
