In case you missed it, The Bug vs @ghostdubs.bsky.social 'IMPLOSION' dropped heavily yesterday on my PRESSURE label.

We are both flattered/humbled by the very positive reaction.
Thank u to those who purchased and/or spread the word !

We're having a listening party on the 27th. You will hear the whole album and I'll be chatting stuff and Jo will be there too. Hope to see you. (also I do realize this is on a holiday-ish for some of us.)

Hi there, friends! This week, back on the show, is the brilliant, @ongs-hat.com ! Joseph and I have a granular look into UFOs, "the phenomena", starving for original stories, being the class clown, AI, technology being used for magic and tons more. Enjoy!

Congrats to HiRISE and MRO for doing it again!

This is an OUTRAGEOUS image because it involves taking a spacecraft designed to roll 20˚ side-to-side but mostly point down, and having it pop a wheelie to point the camera away from the planet... (🧵) #PlanetSci 🧪

This is a great read. @dan-bean.bsky.social and @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com are so thoughtful in their approach to releasing music, "ambient", psychedelia, release perfectionism ("it's a curse") vs fluidity.

Delighted to hear we’re getting another Raica album on @silver-threads.bsky.social at the end of the month so this is getting a play today in celebration - an absolute highlight of this year ❤️
