For three full years now I've been semi-daily posting a music recommendation in a big long thread, but it turns out 300-post threads kinda break Mastodon, so I have to restart the thread every so often

What I'm listening to today: "Imouha", Etran de LAïr
Incredible surfrock¹ jam by a band that describes themselves as "the stars of the Agadez guitar scene" (Agadez is the fifth largest city in the Republic of Niger). Do not miss the video-toaster-core video. Dudes rock

I found this as the YouTube algorithm's next recommendation after watching "Prisencolinensinainciusol".
¹ Sahara rock?
What I'm listening to today: "Late Morning", Breakbeat Era
A couple days ago I linked the song from this album I thought had the closest chance of getting mainstream euro radio recognition for this odd Roni Size project. This (incidentally the next song on the album) is the track I think appeals best if you just like SOUNDS. Six minutes onrushing bull head down subway to an afternoon headache, breakbeat jungle boiled down to annihilation of all thought, moksha in motion

What I'm listening to today: "icm", a773
One last track from the musician I've been calling "the fusion-jazz-on-modular-synths guy". So thing is, mixing jazz and electronic music is not odd, it's just what you're *expected* to do is cut up the jazz as a backing for sampled breakbeats. This raises a question: What if a773 made a track with breaks? Turns out it turns out extremely well. Something here for both prog and Ninja Tune lovers. Nice understated bassline groove.

What I'm listening to today: "Hold Tight London", Chemical Brothers
This is just literally the song stuck in my head today.
Chemical Brothers are underrated TBH. They got some radio play with "Dig Your Own Hole" and I think the electronic heads (in the US?) mentally classified them as pop and tuned out. They continued making jams. I think this might be the best song they ever made. Does it stop being rock music if the guitars are sampled? *Are* these guitars sampled?

What I'm listening to today: "Erm...Yes, This Is Yamaha RS7000", Isobutane
This ungainly 1999 pro groovebox from Yamaha is fairly capable at making techno and hip hop. It… doesn't sound like this at all! Apparently using no external samples only tweaked presets this musician creates a drunken rush of chaotic glitch sounds, a simply wild wobbling bass line and this one sound like an angel got stuck in your crawlspace and is moaning in divine ecstasy until you let it out

What I'm listening to today: "AudCalc, Zeptocore, Phantasmal Force, GREAT CONJUNCTION Micro Synth Coordination", Arman Bohn
I at one point considered myself an authority on small handheld devices that make odd sounds, and I… I recognize exactly two of the six devices on this table. A glorious mess but it all comes together, floats your mind on a melange of algorithmic beeps, chirpy synth beats and bitcrushed Amen like a crashing sea. More is more. I like the buzzy bass.

What I'm listening to today: "souvenir d'autrefois", Trhä & Midoran
Asked on bsky for metal that makes every bar on the graphic equalizer jam all the way up. Blurry thrashy metal with kinda those stoner jam feels and this amazing softness like cassette tape, every blast of sound is a little bit rounded off. Ends with an inexplicable detour into… like… if I say "title screen music for a strip mahjong tabletop unit in a dingy bar in Kabukichō in 1994" will you understand?

What I'm listening to today: "沈む！", Banshimoku
I saw these folks live last night! Shizumu (沈む) appears to be "Sinking" or "Sink!", like a command. The word she yells at the end of the chorus is "ILLUMINATION!" in English. "Banshimoku" is a Japanese name for the Placodont, an extinct triassic reptile. Walking through the market this morning, kept yelling to myself under my breath, the quietest yell, "ILLUMINATION!". May the bridges we burn be the lights that show our way

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled", Åreknuteknyterne
In 1986 a tiny Norwegian cassette label named "Yecch Tapes" released a compilation named "FFFFF" with this song. It would be wrong to say it sounds like it does because these are ghosts reaching out of history to haunt us. That's just the cassette sound. But this sure *sounds* like ghosts trapped outside time, trying to score an epic 80s action thriller, but they're ghosts so it only feels like inexpressible loss

What I'm listening to today: "Virtual Star Embryology" (Revolutionary Girl Utena ED 2), J.A. Seazer
Ancient times. Perfection. Isolation in the desert.
Atmosphere, atom, a star of causality.
Yes, a child of earth is conceived
The embryo of philosophy.
The endless surface of the torus,
A single organic mechanism
A single perpetual motion.
Ah, it is empty movement!
Just empty movement,
Empty -

EmptyWhat I'm listening to today: "My Cancerous Body in Music", Entropic Echo
Industrial-grade modular electronica with a focus on gigantic distorted pads. The large block of wood in the corner is a SOMA device that as far as I know works by your body grounding or bridging spontaneous circuits in the electrically active orbs. Hundreds of figures in hooded monk robes trudge determinedly across a gray wasteland. Raindrops pick their way down staircases of leaves.
Cool ending.

What I'm listening to today: "Time III: plastic ego", StereoMan
Fun tracker tune (original upload September 1998) that leans into the uncanny feeling of sample tracker music with stunning results. Echoes of a SNES game where a robot jumps through 2D mazes made of girders, except if one single song from a 1998 game OST went this hard you'd still be talking about it 30 years later. (The ImpulseTracker file is 768k; maybe nobody shipping games wanted to invest that much?)

@ellenor2000 @mcc thank you for sharing the link. Now I know that VLC player on android is able to play Impulse Tracker tracks.
I would never know it if you did not posted this and I would not fat fingered it

What I'm listening to today: "Benevolent Incubator", Icarus / @olliebown
A Certain Type of Jazz thrown through the sample blender in a Certain Way, makes me think of Amon Tobin or the Michael Fakesch solo albums or Four Tet remixing Andrew Bird. Fantastic groove. Has an arc to it, a tension, a single set of sounds gradually evolves from manic solo drumming to a gentle indie guitar-pluck lullaby before dissolving completely into incoherent nervous glitches.

What I"m listening to today: "The Torrents of Destruction Overwhelmed Me", thoughtForm Max
Extended metal guitar solo, but with no guitar, done entirely on Roger Linn's isomorphic grid controller. Every pad on here has per-note expression via both pressure and how you wiggle your finger within the square, enabling techniques not usually possible on a keyboard synth. I imagine a lone figure playing this to a sunrise at the edge of some desert plateau in Big Bend in Texas

What I'm listening to today: "Mo Mophatt Roger", Attack Sustain
Does anyone reading this like NOISE here are three minutes of buzzsaw noises simply exploring the sounds of a newly-obtained pair of distortion pedals. Good amplifier worship audio. Would've assumed this was all guitar feedback if I didn't have the video

What I'm listening to today: "The Key" (Wubbledub Edit), Space Bunny
Does anyone like 90s EURO TECHNO. This is a vintage remix of a 1997 tech house piece, apparently recorded at the time but unreleased until a vinyl compilation in 2024. Oak aged for 27 years. Has a great bouncy energy to it and that classic electronic sound design. Really satisfying.

What I'm listening to today: "No Snakes Alive", King Geedorah
MF DOOM was a talented producer as well as a rapper, but was oddly shy about his own production work, quarantining his most significant self-produced work to side EPs and this somewhat nonobvious pseudonym. A pity because the Geedorah project has some bangers, like this one unhinged, utterly unique track with weird tempo shifts as if the song itself is staggering drunkenly. MF Grimm's on this one (it's old).

What I'm listening to today: "Generative ambient", CELUS
21 minutes of ever-changing shimmers & swells. (If your attention span is not that long maybe stop at the 5:45 mark.) This is the song you hear when it's morning and no one else on the spaceship has woken up yet and everything is pleasant and peaceful, although *definitely* when this movie reaches its second act something within the corridors will start hunting your crew

What I'm listening to today: "TR-909 & TR-727 Backyard Beat", Zap Danger
It is the 90s and there is time to roller hover cyber blade through floating freeways passing through a glowing city where the buildings seem to be made of ephemeral light. Downtempo dance music for old drum machines and modern guitar pedals. Look quickly at the start of the video to see a sweet adorable baby (Elektron Analog Drive pedal) and also a sweet adorable baby (cat).

@nixCraft is gui to ai the modern passage from terminal to gui?
It isn't inevitable, but will it be anyway?
It is certainly possible to use a browser without ai
Is there a (narrow) path were it is possible to use ai anyway and choosing not to use it? (considering market, investments needed, corporate/business world)
I have no answers, and not much hope

There are too many cows. There need to be fewer cows. The number of cows is too damn high. The level of cow must decrease. The cow line go up but must go down. There is a supercritical mass of cow. Only falling cow numbers is compatible with a livable future (and present.) There is an excess of cows. There needs to be a correction in the number of cows. We must bend the cow curve downwards. There must be a decumulation of cows, a de-escalation, a degrowth of cows.
(Obvoiously i don't care about anglers arguing for their share of the exploitation but the health of Aotearoa's waterways is vital for a robust ecosystem.)
