SØLVE

I think as of this moment my top 3 albums of the year are FAETOOTH - LABYRINTHINE, WITCH FEVER - FEVEREATEN, and the RAGANA & DROWSE - ASH SOUVENIR release from today. I’ve enjoyed lots of music this year, so will narrow down a proper list later, but those are peak albums for the vibe I’m owning.

obviously screeching about trans people's genitals at deafening volume on every public platform available to you is hateful, cruel and dangerous

but we must always remember the equally important fact that it is also HUGE loser behavior

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Nation of Ulysses

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

WISCONSIN WE HAVE TO HOLD THE DAMN LINE.

BESTIAL MOUTHS announced for TERMINUS: MODULATION!
Incredible lineup all around, as well!
I had the privilege of playing Terminus both as SØLVE and with ∆AIMON and each time was a phenomenal experience!

Uhhhhhh is P. Diddy Jack the Ripper?

Yeah I grew up listening to his music and spoken words as well as reading the books he published through 2.13.61 so I agree. He’s been a dick at times and probably problematic in the past, but he averages more in favor of well intentioned and very well-spoken.

Like, why are we arguing about things that psychologists, sociologists, and scientists have already worked on? I know science isn't immutable, but it's a whole lot more researched and examined than just saying "there's only two genders because men and women."

This isn't a hot take or anything, but one of the biggest and dumbest reasons that there's like literal potential of a fucking civil war is because so many folks refuse to just say "that's not something I know about, I will defer to what professionals or those with relevant experience have to say."

Imagine advancing AI to the level where it can (mostly) successfully impersonate random social media accounts and sway public opinions - but then just train bots to be dumb as bricks and argue about how climate change isn’t real.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

BESTIAL MOUTHS - US tour dates announced!

I’ll be in the studio working on the new album while Lynette and crew are out on the road, but please go see them if they’re in your area!!

Sunshine Felt The Darkness Smile, by Dax Riggs from the album 7 Songs For Spiders

New Dax Riggs album is officially out on Friday, but we got another preview this morning and it is FUCKING GLORIOUS.

See you there!

Thank you, I appreciate that greatly!!

In an effort to cultivate a cool community of folks and keep tabs on the various projects I'm involved in, I have kicked off a Discord server today. I don't know if Discord is the solution to the algorithm and ethical blues of FB, but it's gotta be worth a try. Come hang out!

NOISENOISENOISE

Such an incredible work of music. Get it if you haven't yet!

I am so tired of "We've heard twenty hours of researched, articulate, passionate testimony from respected experts in their fields, but this white lady who looks like she has the Bible verses that justify marital rape saved in an open tab on her phone cried so now we're taking away your rights."

Agreed, I didn’t care much about them before the EP (?) with Deep in the Willow and All Is Quiet Now, but the full length is leagues beyond what I expected from them. Lyrics, tone, collabs, are all on point.

Oops, I forgot to include Nordvargr - Resignation IV and Knocked Loose - You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To

Uniform has passed me by every time, but I’m very grateful to have seen Pharmakon up close and personal once a few years ago at least! Margaret puts on an incredible show!

Awesome, I LOVE Pharmakon but totally missed the new one, thanks!

Top 10 Favorites: Uniform - American Standard Couch Slut - You Could Do It Tonight The Body - The Crying Out of Things The Body & Dis Fig - Orchids of a Futile Heaven BUCK-TICK - SUBROSA GODFLESH - A World Lit Only By Dub Ulver - Liminal Animals Ben Frost - Scope Neglect Poppy - Negative Spaces Thou - Umbilical Add. Mentions: Oranssi Pazuzu - Muuntautuja Chat Pile - God’s Country

Spent a lot of time this year working on music, so unfortunately that means I haven't listened much to anything from anyone else. So, let me know what your favorites were this year.
Cheers!

Indeed.

Oh interesting, I only know it vaguely in relation to transhumanism but I’ll have to explore it further.

Imagine if we lived in the timeline where Musk used his money to make life-size Hot Wheels tracks, domed cities on the ocean floor, or like giant battle-mech competitions instead of just actively trying to ruin everything for everyone.
