Just got woken up at 3am by a legitimately scary earthquake and realised that I have terrible earthquake instincts - went running to my kid's bedroom when I should be rolling under the nearest bit of furniture

I recently walked past a car that had a Terrance McKenna bumper sticker, which also made me think of this album. Thanks for posting the link, now I can have a re-listen too!

Man on Zoom with CDs behind him, including Joy Division, Cluster and Eno, MARRS, Talk Talk etc.

Is this the coolest backdrop on Channel 4 News ever?

I mean, Cluster &Eno?!

Props to whoever is writing these "Cloud+" phishing emails, they've been running rings around Gmail's spam filters for a good few weeks now

I've been considering whether to get one to sell stuff on Marketplace, sounds like it's probably not worth the psychic damage

If you did, it would give some of us the chance to stroke our chins saying "of course, I was into PC Hipsta before it went mainstream"

Cartoon of hipster police officer saying "can you stop filming me like that" to a person holding a smartphone. The person thinks his rights are being violated but the hipster policeman's objection is actually that the video is being filmed in portrait mode

Found this old PC Hipsta cartoon in the archives and was glad to see that @pchipsta.bsky.social made it over here

I have a Kobo, it's good

Still less wild than the Louis Theroux thing IMO, boggled my mind to arrive in the US and hear it on pop radio all the time

Pouring one out for Google Reader as I type this

Annoying to get an email saying that Mozilla is shutting down Pocket. I'm sure it's extremely niche by now but it's been my main app for long reads for years & years. Mozilla has been making it worse since they acquired it though so I guess it's not a huge surprise. Time to look for alternatives

Mine was that the BBC once had ad breaks in their TV shows and had only stopped them when I was ~5. I got very indignant with my parents about this

you will never look back on art you've made as time wasted

Transmission III, by No Moon from the album Spins, Parities & Multipolarities

Always partial to a bit of ambient acid - it turns out that the 303 is fine with leaving its drum machine friends behind and heading out on its own from time to time.
Here's today's ambient acid tip, Transmission III by No Moon: craigieknowes.bandcamp.com/track/transm...

Went for a run on Sunday and had a nasty fall after tripping on some uneven paving stones. Continued running, eventually came back along that street, and fell again in the exact same place. Not my best moment tbh

STATEMENT FROM ENGLISH FOLK DANCE AND SONG SOCIETY

Carrying out seismic strengthening work on my email inbox in anticipation of Bandcamp Friday

Yeah a comment like "good mix up until this point!" probably wouldn't go down well... I'd also feel quite bad if a mix had a thicket of ID requests throughout, but then dead silence when one of my tracks appeared

YouTube video by NenehCherryVEVO Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance (Official Music Video)

Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance 1988 #1C000LEST www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWsR... I recently saw a comment that said “I like living in the future because I can listen to Buffalo Stance whenever I want” and that is definitely in the plus column for this future business

A mix I listen to a lot on SC has a track near the end that just kills the energy and snaps me out of the zone. In a real club, the DJ would get feedback from people heading to the bar (or chucking things) but what's the digital equivalent? Leave a comment saying "this was a bad choice, DJ"?

That's a good way to put it - I partly wondered if it was a remix of E2-E4 that I'd forgotten about, or some other Detroit-anticipating piece from the late prog-rock era. Trawling through Klaus Schulze & Robert Schroder back catalogue was fun, even though way off track!

I'd been wracking my brains on this one, started going down all sorts of rabbitholes with no success (apart from discovering some unrelated music) - good spot!

With all family members at least 2,000 miles away, I'm enjoying being able to shamelessly blast this on my living room speakers

This was musical ground zero for me. You might as well have welded the tape to my Walkman

I really love Utility but not checked this new one yet - going to give it a listen this week

Update: I managed to resist the urge (for now)

A mid-life crisis takes hold — I start considering buying a synthesizer

I might need to record myself humming the bassline
