^ paging @miniver.bsky.social, who provided the SNOW CRASH/GRAVITY'S RAINBOW tip (also, literally was just discussing the stephenson/pynchon combo on a server, a few hours ago)

@cour13r5.bsky.social informed me of the reading duo of Snowcrash (Stephenson) / Gravity's Rainbow (Pynchon) as a kinda thematic doubleshot that also are structurally very similar books so, announcing my new discovery:
Zardoz (Boorman)/Blood Meridian (McCarthy)

mostly i've just been listening to a bunch of dub techno

weirdly, the song that sparked this post came up in my queue when i got your reply

deeply lacking in drip to be atheism posting in 2025 like its 2007

cybercrime zeroday faded tee

cybercrime
but its bigger
and on both sides.

the baleful rays were so baleful that they woke me up this morning, but i was able to go back to sleep.

mostly i've just been horizontal.

"but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not yeet of it: for in the day that thou yeetest thereof thou shalt surely die"

"i no longer know how to light the fire nor how to say the prayer, i can’t even find my way to that place, but i can tell the story and that must be enough."

"i am glad there are more than one of us."

"accidentally" was actually the most non-scarequote part of the whole thing, haha. most certainly hadn't been my intention

"now" "i" "am"

sometimes time dilation is really fucking great.

love Andrew Hem's work. i've got a couple of his books. and often use his work as wallpaper on devices. still don't think i've managed to see any of his work in person, sadly.

pretty much we're lookin at (listening to) stuff from:

opal tapes
ilian tape
and lobster theremin

i'm pretty much at, like, specific label levels, now. tho there was a guy on mixcloud back in the day whose "deep house" mixes were massively helpful for me back then.

(oh but i gotta admit i have been listening to a bit of old omni trio again occasionally, of late?)

["tinnitus shot"]

not specifically for this, no. tho i can see reincorporating some d&b in a different section of the (at least) weekly routine.

(mmm...house is also sufficient)

after weeks of analyzing my evening routine, in an attempt to further support specific goal/intentions, i have finally found the answer: i need more techno.
