I've just discovered the Aadam Jacobs Collection (@ajcproject.mas.to.ap.brid.gy), holy shit: archive.org/details/aada... Grabbed some old shows from Fugazi, Boredoms, Slint, Flipper, Need New Body, Cinematic Orchestra, a few others. Lot of surprises in this archive, what a rad project!

Recos from streaming apps or social media should always be regarded as sponcon.

I wrote a bit about joyfully maintaining a 1.5TB mp3 library in 2026: brendanlandis.com/writing/on-l... (My personal web site is still under construction and some parts look weird, sorry! Embarrassing as a frontend guy but whatever.)

This. I think of "content" as one of those terms made up by the ad industry to do two things:
- sneak slop and ads onto the shelf next to works of genuine cultural value
- blur the lines between themselves ("creatives"!) and people who make works of genuine cultural value

Echoing others' replies here that it's giving Teisco. I love Teiscos because they're beautiful & old, but you don't have to feel bad about tricking them out.

Two long-lost organ pieces by JS Bach performed for first time in 300 years Archive director in Germany says ‘missing piece of puzzle’ now in place to verify authorship after decades of research

www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n... How wild that it took over 30 years of research to confirm the authorship of these two pieces.

Sound of Wind Driven Rain, by William Ackerman 11 track album

An old fav new age album that came up on random just now. Not a style that I write in or that usually resonates with me, but sometimes you get a reco from a friend and it sticks. williamackerman.bandcamp.com/album/sound-...

first hoodie day of the season 👍

Walking home from tracking vocals, saw a plane flying under a half moon and it made me wanna go write some more

Hello! My birthday's coming up, and Receive will be playing a show in celebration, at Gold Sounds, on 9/11. (Real bday is on the 12th.) Also on the bill are the homies Bad Trips, Death Drive, and Dirtbag Ivy. It's going to be a real fun night, even moreso with your company. Ok sick!

A fascinating alternate rendition of 2024's New Abrasions.

Maybe if I get the SeatGeek I'll have a web site or a plastic box with a bunch of controls on it, and like e.g. if I turn one of the knobs up all the way then it'll buy 127 XBoxes or jars of pickles or packages of adult diapers from amazon?
