his wife’s post was confusing (Cici Edmunds if you want to look) but he seems to be alive but on the brink.

it has huge gravitational pull, I think, hard to constantly resist over the long haul. I am of course with you on this though…

maybe even mandatory THC? certainly highly encouraged.

stoned autism

track I think, would make for many fascinating juxtapositions.

nice! I would vote for shuffle though.

CD sleeve art showing a household scene with a basket of zinnia flowers on a table; yellow-and-green floral-print wallpaper; a light-yellow landline phone mounted on the wall, and a view through a doorway into a darker room. The CD sleeve leans against a stereo component with a matte-black face and shiny black dials.

Now playing: Vanessa Rossetto - Pictures of the Warm South CD (2025, Erstwhile). Collage/found sound at a disorienting peak. Superb stuff from @erstwhile.bsky.social and @vanessarossetto.bsky.social

Manja Ristić and Marja Ahti working on their upcoming Erst together today in Croatia.

Sheer Hellish Miasma II, by Kevin Drumm 3 track album

2. Kevin Drumm - Sheer Hellish Miasma II

LOUD. On the surface, this album feels very monochrome, an incessant blast of earsplitting noise. But listen closer and it reveals all sorts of variations and subtle happenings, so many dapplings of the field. So much to attend to...

it's Bandcamp Friday again, as every music fan presumably already knows.

also we just started a sale on all of our labels, 20 percent off, coupon code "2025".
