YouTube video by Billy Idol Billy Idol - Billy Idol Should Be Dead (Official Trailer)

I can't *wait* for this to stream. @billyidolfeed.bsky.social #punk #newwave #billyidol

Who can forget the Rebel Yell and Whiplash Smile albums, the Vital Idol comp and the White Wedding Shotgun Mix 12"? 🎸

Take it from a good friend of mine, if you're in the market for an #HDR TV, get one with 2000 nits brightness or more if you plan on daytime viewing.

It's a pleasure!

Blasphemous Rumours, by IN STRICT CONFIDENCE 3 track album

Goths and industrialheads, @instrictconfidence.bsky.social 🇩🇪 released a new 3-track single this morning, a cover of the Depeche Mode classic. (PS: Strange that Dennis Ostermann used AI art instead of his own great photography, but he must've been in a hurry) #goth #industrialmusic

Friday! The weekend's at hand, and it's Bandcamp Friday and Spotify Release Radar day. 🎵

You know someone's an AI artist when they've released 9 brand-new studio albums in the last 6 weeks 😂 ... most of them double-albums.

As if the chip shortage due to AI data centres isn't enough, the CIA reckons China may invade Taiwan by next year. Just another reason to buy your new PC now.

Fascinating case study. It looks like Spotify really is generating AI music, releasing it under fake names with fake follower stats, fake photos and fake selfie videos on social media.

YouTube video by Kaos Karma - Topic Into The Dead Of Night (Project Pitchfork Remix)

I've been playing this track repeatedly. Great remix by Project Pitchfork, and I'm def. going to check out Kaos Karma's discography. #goth #industrialmusic

Aw man, any of their four studio albums is a good start. They're in my top 10 industrial bands, together with F242, FLA, Neubauten, Haujobb, Nitzer, KMFDM, Ministry, Manufactura, Puppy, and Young Gods.

I reckon Memento. Close call though. I heard a remake is on the way.

Weird. Reminds me of one of my favourite industrial bands, Swamp Terrorists. Almost none of their music is streaming on Spotify.

Such a great opening scene in Fallout, first episode. Not my kind of series, though. I have a thing for apocalyptic sci-fi (not post-apocalyptic though – it's too depressing and boring).

My old i5 iMac is slow as fk, so I'm finally replacing it with a base config #Mac Mini. I don't know when/if an M5 Mac Mini will be released though, and with the radically increasing prices of GPUs, RAM, and SSDs, it might be unaffordable. Do I wait or go with the M4? #apple

RAM, SSDs, graphics cards and now hard disks ... everything is becoming expensive thanks to demand created by AI data centres. F. you, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Anthropic, Twitter 🖕

And what a run they would have.

A trick I taught myself: If you keep forgetting to un-silence your phone after a meeting, add the silence control to your iPhone's lock screen.

You should ask an astrophysicist and an astrobiologist those questions.

All I know from following these scientists is that intelligent life is probably abundant in such a humongous universe, but catching a signal from one such civilisation is difficult for a host of reasons.

There are 200 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 (200 sextillion) stars in the observable universe, virtually all of them planetary systems. 🌍📡✨👽 #seti

I took the liberty of removing a person in the pic, and used Photoshop to remove compression artefacts and upscale it. #photography

I've only flown twice in my life, and neither was international, but I love his videos. Really interesting stuff that should put some people with fear of flying at ease.

What's the weirdest thing this passenger plane captain has ever experienced from a passenger mid-flight? (59 sec.) 😂

Last week marked the 30th anniversary of my favourite maxi single: Front Line Assembly's stand-alone release Plasticity. It included a Haujobb remix and Replicant, a tribute to Blade Runner. Importing it from Germany cost this poor soul an arm and a leg, but it was worth it. #industrialmusic
