▶️ dgoHn: I Couldn't Remember So I Made Something Up. Bouncy breakcore drizzled in melty synths with a 15/8 time signature just to be awkward. What a delight. Newly signed to Planet Mu Records. dgohn-music.bandcamp.com/track/i-coul...
▶️ Madonna: I Feel So Free. Did not expect this. Justify My Love meets Giorgio Moroder and Lil Louis, with added acid. Warning: flashing graphics throughout. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx83...
▶️ Clark: Relentless Opponent. This is a slamming industrial disco favourite from Clark's live set. That bassline drop at the 3-minute mark is ridonkulous. There will be a full Opponent Stims EP out in May. clark.bandcamp.com/track/relent...
"I used to befriend spiders on the way to school. I gave them names and counted their legs to make sure everything was in order. I wonder if Waits does the same with houseflies."

▶️ Massive Attack & Tom Waits: Boots on the Ground. The official video by Del Naja and thefinaleye. ICE raids, rise of the military, regimes turning to fascism, backed up with statistics and academic research. All in a day's work for Massive Attack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-57...
It's got a good beat.

Happy 30th anniversary to The Box, a masterpiece of harpsichord electronica that had the sound of creaky old wood haunting our nightmares. Tilda Swinton starred in the video, and years later the track themed Mike Myers' enjoyably off-kilter The Pentaverate.

The first word I ever had published in Electronic Sound magazine when issue one was released in July 2012 was "while". I wish it had been something more interesting, like "spatula" or "horsefly" or "gash".
"If we are what we watch, then what kind of monster does reality television consumption make of us?"... Writer Bronte Schiltz delves into the inspiration behind her story in Monster Capital. commapress.co.uk/blog/and-yet...
The film was Death On The Nile (1979). Still laughing at Angela Lansbury calling Peter Ustinov's Poirot "Porridge" throughout the film.
"One thing is for certain: Madame Doyle was not killed by a fish." Enjoying a bit of Saturday afternoon Ustinov Poirot.
"Most people just 'drop' an album; BoC are dangling theirs."

In the spirit of Mark Fisher, we invited writers to explore capitalism through the lens of the gothic & surreal: TV shows built on misery, lab-grown meat with a mind of its own, housing developments spread like a virus & much more...
They didn't do rolls. Just pizzas.

The new Electronic Sound Magazine is out now. For this month's cover feature, I chat to Hannah Peel about her new album with percussionist Beibei Wang, her nocturnal Radio 3 show, the emergence of a space-themed ballet, and how 2026 will be a meteoric year. Oh and hiccups. We talk about hiccups.
Found the picture. A Corbieres special. It was free.

I don't watch videos of Trump in the same way I choose not to jab my scrotum with knitting needles, but can someone tell me what his swear words were? Was he saying things like poo, bum and willy?
