That’s fair, tho I’m not saying necessarily bring the whole rig outside with you, if you hear something real quick a phone voice memo to capture in real time casually is oftentimes more than enough

Not just musicians and not just creative "block" - "touch grass," "meet new people," "go talk to somebody," etc. are universal balms. Get out into society and outdoors and away from media. Even in the worst times (circa: now), IRL interaction with the world is an ever-ready balm!

It sickens me that there are people in this world who wish to live in absolute silence.

you should spend a day gathering sounds for the sake of themselves without any intention of how you might use them in the future, it’s not wooey or esoteric to find inspiration in recording environmental sound even well after the fact.

If you’re having writers block as a composer, producer, songwriter, etc I highly suggest you go out field recording for the afternoon on a Saturday instead of locking yourself in the shed.

you guys do know parasocial hate is more embarrassing than parasocial love right

the children are rebranding criticism of their faves as “parasocial hate” now

🤔

NEW: Last night Jack Owoc posted a teaser video from a five-year-old video Turning Point USA published profiling him/Bang Energy. Caption draws parallel btw Kirk's killing & his own ouster from Bang: "But here we are today, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And our company Bang Energy dismantled..."

the bottom line for fascism has always been, and will always be, capital.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

okay

ooooo much love i must send it thru the translator

Real heads dig thru the used cd crates

We really need to retire "contrarian" as a descriptor for Weiss immediately.

The reason she is getting this job right now is because of her *non-contrarian* sensibilities.

She espouses views that the US's current power structure likes.

Yeah I really don’t have a horse in this race but the lyrics are particularly soulless and way more juvenile in wording and scheme compared to previous albums, just seems so phoned in.

It’s Bovine time

oh, i must have missed the louvre’s doxxing campaigns and calling in bomb threats to hospitals and sending huge groups of armed agitators to fucking libraries

ZBC shaped me as a stoned 16 year old in my mom's minivan listening to oneohtrix play live in studio in 2006 at midnight

reject algorithms, embrace passive aggressive handwritten comments on CD labels!

also WZBC mentioned 📻

mencius moldbug is thinking of fleeing the country because he thinks the trump administration's chaotic half-assing of dismantling liberal democracy is going to bite them all in the ass

[see's a pinis for the first time] well i gotta write the worst song ever about this experience

When I was a child going to Hebrew school & Jewish summer camps in the 70s, poll results like this would have been inconceivable.

Israel has forfeited what it once had, & as older generations (including mine) die off, the trend will only continue.

Quoted post by user @ dystopiabreaker dot xyz reads: "i'm completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron" Quote post from bsky engineer @hailey.at reads: "an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you'd agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing "dna" with "bits" doesn't make it ok" follow up post from hailey reads: "if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go 'oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person' (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that"

classic tweet from @sumbitches reading "I bet this shit hits so hard if you're stupid"

classic tweet from @chloscialism reading: "'i hate cigs' now replace cigs with women. not so funn, is it?"

I love that everyone just gets to publicize and monetize their schizophrenia now

Just wait till you see my dick Hey bitch, wait till you see my dick Wait till you see my dick Hey bitch, wait till you see my dick

Honestly loving this new Taylor album

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"
