Transmissions from the Dark

lol I got stung by this with a Riverside trial last week. Hadn’t planned on being stuck in bed deathly ill, so the reminders on my computer were all for naught.

bands will say their music is 'raw and uncompromising black metal' then use gen ai artwork

come on, think a little. how can people still be doing this.

Are any LLMs actually any good for coding?

Is there anyone I trust who can vouch for this?

I don’t see why they’d be good at that when they’re terrible at everything else where I know they are applied

It might also explain why so much software does not work any more…might it?

So often when someone suggests something I get the urge to respond with this, but it's so outrageously insulting the recipient has to instantly get the reference or we all perish.

not funny, but i laughed.

stop stop, the lineup was already incredible. it did not need to go this hard.

damnnnnn

YouTube video by An Old Sad Ghost An OId Sad Ghost - Live at Albion Dungen Fest 2026

The full audio of the Old Sad Ghost set at Albion Dungeon Fest.

One of the highlights of the fest - synths, drums, vocals. Great set up. Vocals are perfect.

Was an excellent contrast to the other acts of the weekend, with the only drumkit of the event

the insides of my ears are throbbing in a kind of concerning way. putting it down to being totally bunged up, but it feels horrible!

this bug needs to be gone soon, it is slowing me down no end.

Fair play with the banter

Welllll, hot damn!

Rewatched Prometheus and Covenant for 3rd time each.

Prometheus is still annoyingly incoherent, Covenant was better than I remembered.

Still they make no sense to lead up to Alien, and they are so aggravating for it, unless a third film pulls off some wildly magical narrative weaving (impossible)

Still so ill, in bed all week, painful bones, headache, ribs hurt from coughing; try and walk around and I’m exhausted. Surprisingly bad.

Binging reels: chefreactions, Jason Pargin, Bron Lewis, Atsuko Okatsuka

Films - Warcraft. Surprisingly good! This orc general has some sage advice for us all.

YouTube video by Transmissions from the Dark Silent Garden - Demo IV (demo, 2026) hypnagogic forest synth

Whinging about my current state aside, let’s have the final DS Sunday of February, staring with the hypnagogic forest synth of Indonesia’s Silent Garden

Managed to complete the weekend just me and my daughter, and I still don’t believe this result. I feel so awful. Whatever this bug is, it’s doing a good impression of the blinding headache, breathless exhaustion, and painfully incessant coughing of our ole foe ‘vid

This weekend’s poll is between all Haraesis Noviomagi-related band split releases

They’ve all gone too quiet for my liking, but hopefully this poll will put them back on people’s playlists for a while

I feel so thoroughly rough, in such a horribly familiar way, I just don’t believe this result.

Live at Albion Fest 2026 in London, by Coniferous Myst 8 track album

What a set. Was great to see the magic made in person, and to get to chat to him afterwards.

Remarkable how he can set such a resonant mood with just one synth.

YouTube video by Transmissions from the Dark Unmother - State Dependent Memory (album, 2026) post black metal

not just my favorite release of the week, but of the year so far.

Had this on solid repeat since I received it, and it hits hard every play. The title is excellent too

the artwork also reminds me of Joe Sacco's Palestine graphic novel, which I guess is no accident.

they might have posted again in the group with some in-game actin. i should check.

errr..what?

I recently joined a Blood Bowl Pitched group in facebook just out of interest, and holy wowww this one really makes me want to play again

Sadly everyone in my house hates board games :(

Have fun!!

It’s the one everyone came to see.

A shame we couldn’t get floor tickets (I hate ticketmaster so much), but it was a good view of it all.

This is really the maximum size venue there should be.

Tonight, me and daughter go to Deftones!

Just a little fraction of My Father, My King for you

Was a great set. Such a huge catalogue to draw from now, but the oldies are still the most seismic.

The boy really did get a thorough post-rock masterclass

Walking With Geordie, by Spider Goat Canyon 2 track album
