The problem with making electronic music is that all basslines sound ridiculous after hearing them a thousand times.

We will know the Kali Yuga is over when the saxophone retakes its natural place at the heart of pop music.

Book: Asylum Piece by Ana Kavan

Book: Asylum Piece by Ana Kavan

Book mail. Next month look for an excellent essay about this, Ava Kavan's first collection under her chosen pen name, at @minorliteratures.bsky.social Three pages into reading the submission I had to stop and search out a copy for myself!

Every path of knowledge traced back to its route dissolves into mystery.

I've finally started to write my paranormal non-fiction book. I would very much like this project to completely devour me.

A free book. Because we were moved to make it. A confederacy of weirdos. An homage to Ligotti. An encrimsoning.

Me too... such restraint and maturity for a composer only 6 months old. I surely have a prodigy on my hands!

Philosophers make some wild leaps with their comparisons. Just read JJC Smart saying that the existence of self-flying airplanes means teleology contains no mystery. I often wonder if I'm missing something.

Alien Earth should have been a limited series. He should have followed the Fargo model basically.

Chewier, by Ozric Tentacles from the album Spirals In Hyperspace

I bloody love Chewier by Ozric Tentacles. More is more. It's an incredible production job too, to mix eight million parts together like that.

Early Flight, by TimeDog from the album Another's Solitude

It's Bandcamp Friday so here's a dreamy thing from what is apparently nearly ten years ago.

There was a cat on here playing ambient the other day, so I thought I'd showcase a short part of Mooncat's new Works for Organ.

Explore consciousness theories and implications A global hub for theories of consciousnessβ€”authenticated by leading theorists, designed for professional consciousness communities, and open to all

What an incredible resource. Robert Kuhn has collated a comprehensive and up-to-date list of the theories of consciousness. Over 300. The expansion of theories, rather than a reduction occurring in the light of scientific progress, is interesting in itself.

Vegan oat bite thingies. Palatable. Exactly what you'd expect from someone with cats named Moon and Maya. Me, that is.

John Shuttleworth captures my dilemma with tea perfectly - "One cup of tea is never enough but two is one too many."

The best optical illusion is a typo appearing in a paragraph you've read a thousand times.

Haha. If you are completely consumed by rage at the person now eating crisps on the seat in front of you while showing absolutely no outward sign of it, then perhaps.

Glad I'm not alone! It's relentless. Can't read my book. I'm pretty sensitive to sounds to say the least. I find myself constantly waiting for the next announcement. Waiting to be annoyed by it.
