I agree the area is deficient in transport options but even if it was I don’think I’d go there. It’s like The Shire… another planet & best just ignored.

FFS why did I only just find out Slowdive did an album in 2017 and it’s great.

If it wasn't me I'm sure someone has, sorrynotsorry.

(I mean, so many bugs and missing features.)

oh good, because the old one was terrible.

I want those pants! (oh sorry that’s probably trousers to you isn’t it 😬)

I worked in Nth Syd for a while around the turn of the century, when Greenwood Plaza was horrendous sorry I mean at its peak. Why anyone would miss it is a mystery.

Photo of the blowup pilot from Airplane (or whatever that classic comedy film with Leslie Whatsisname was called) with the caption “gonna tell my kids this was microsoft copilot”

I think ‘votes’ might be a reason?

I hate to be a smug non car owner at the moment, but at the moment I am a smug non car owner. (I realise I won’t escape much longer but it’s nice having that buffer zone before commodities go up. hoarding baked beans instead of petrol lol.)

If "Listen, you stupid machine.." is not the greatest four words Douglas Adams ever wrote I don't know what is. Come on be honest, you say it almost every day too don't you.

Air in the taps, by Lint 10 track album

ooh this video is nice lint2.bandcamp.com/album/air-in...

If you want to know how much Spotify hates artists, just look at their artist URLs. Every other website will be like /@username or name.bandcamp.com or whatever. Spotify though - spotify.com/artist/d7udkhFUHd87shisqsdf888s3

(bsky converting that to URLs with no opt out is not helping either)

“… before the 1970s Berlin School of electronic music, a style represented by artists such as Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream… an actual Berlin School of electronic music (or electrical music as it was then known in Germany) operated in the city and introduced electronic music performance to Europe.”

This place reeks of marijuana and reggae and honestly the world needs more good vibes these days so I’m totally here for it.

this will serve to hurt those women who "don't look feminine enough" - as Rowling and her vile followers will tune in to make sure everyone passes their bigot test - and if they don't they will make their lives miserable.

Transphobes are universally shit people. Do not associate with them.

Hmm when your Mastodon instance doesn’t respond for a while and you start thinking shit I hope they haven’t come for my friend in Seattle now too.

exactly!

(except we do need those as well of course)

Bit of a reggae number being soundchecked downstairs so of course I had to break out the Farfisa through the Vintage Time Machine didn’t I. It’s all @stobiepole.bsky.social’s fault, come to think of it.

I should add - trigger warning for the last track: utterly gut wrenching song about losing a friend to suicide.

I should also add it's on all the platforms not just Apple Music.

Lastly I should've added #hiphop tag to that post but ran out of characters and, you can't edit a post after posting?

HEADNOISE by Local Ben on Apple Music Album · 2026 · 11 Songs

music.apple.com/au/album/hea... new out of Kl(aüs) studio. Local hip hop guy, produced by Jonathan. I merely contributed my opinions, plus SH1 bass line on one track and they used my tibetan finger cymbals on another. A great example of "write what you know" Ben also has an ear for a wicked hook.

Looks like we have nearly full house for tonight's sydney.emom event. I am both excited and terrified.. it was much easier to contemplate a cosy, salon-like atmosphere. Crowds of 100+ start to get a bit scary.. but we'll cope, it's a great problem to have! sydney.emom.me

Kino, by Lagowski 8 track album

From 1996 - free/pay what you like lagowski.bandcamp.com/album/kino #ambient #musicsky #electronica Of 'Ashita' Jim Aikin (Keyboard magazine, June 1998) wrote 'A very pleasant, low-key techno set - slow, dreamy digital drumbeats percolating along above warm, static pads and washes.'

I believe they call that a “sick burn” these days.

and the reason why the chatbot is such a repulsive, festering piece of rotten shit is that these guys really wanted to put intelligence—meaning someone who is like them—in your pocket because they do fervently believe it will help you with everything you do. and as we all see: maximum possible error

So yes, the reason why every tech thing doesn’t work, the reason why every big tech mogul is Like That, is that they’ve all convinced each other mutually that Impatient Engineer Brain is a business skill. Because that’s now all the equities market invests in. It must be business skill!

Foreign Facebook pages have been promoting One Nation. It wants them to stop An ABC NEWS Verify investigation uncovers a raft of foreign Facebook accounts targeting Australian users. And they're just the tip of the iceberg.

Malcolm Roberts in the climate misinfo hearing labels the ABC "notorious propaganda" and questioned this (very good) ABC story for claiming the support for One Nation on FB was "Vietnamese bots" when it is "quite natural and truthful" www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

a dozen or so synth players lined up for an emom spinoff jam session in a private warehouse in Sydney’s inner west. Being the contrarian that I am I brought maracas, an egg shaker, melodica, finger cymbals, triangle etc. I was complimented on my triangle and melodica contributions. fun times.
