What a fantastic, if incredibly horrifying, video by @venustheory.bsky.social

Worth a watch for anyone and everyone involved in the creation and consumption of (particularly independent) music.

I'm a terribly relentless perfectionist, much to my own detriment. It's one of the major reasons my releases are often so far apart. I often find myself completely unable to work on something at all, because I don't know what it *needs* to be "right". πŸ₯Ί

Hoping to record a Borealis Broadcast #dnb special set for this year. Last one was in 2020, and I think it's been too long. Tons of great new material this year, too

Yeah, my expectations are definitely tempered. Feels very...strange(?) as a From game. Just have to wait and see what it's really gonna be like in gameplay footage, as all of the info so far is a little confusing tbh

Find myself missing those mid-late 2010s SoundCloud days. I met so many great people and found incredible communities. Big shoutout to all the homies β™₯️

I really liked running Kage, though I have to admit I wasn't very good at it. Been thinking about bringing it back a lot recently.

Threads relies HEAVILY on baiting likes if you don't have thousands of followers, and even if you do, really. The most successful post I see are, far and away, the ones most aimed at niche groups. Especially for producers and musicians, the meta (ha) seems to be spamming "empowerment"-style posts.

It's nothing to look at rn, but I'll have @kagerecordings.bsky.social churning out shitposts (and new releases, I hope) in no time

Cheers for doing this!

Three drawings of snowmen sit side-by-side. They were made while blindfolded. They are arranged from right to left as earliest to latest. The left one is the worst, with three poorly-drawn, unconnected circles, a face (coal eyes, a carrot nose, and a dotted smile) that exists both inside and out of its circle, and a top hat that intersects the circle. The middle one is better. Its circles are less irregular, and they all connect. The face is mostly contained within its circle, but a pipe was drawn over the carrot nose. This snowman also has stick arms that both extend upward and little dot buttons. The right one is a bit more detailed, with pretty good circles, an okay face (now with separate pipe and nose), and an attempt at shading the hat. This one also has arms, with the left angled down and the right angled up. There is also a small, simple Christmas tree beside the snowman. All of the drawings are signed.
