My show on #aNONradio , Movement Through Thought, starts in 30 minutes.

I'm too tired to do anything serious tonight. So: ambient, downtempo, idm, and weirdness. Might get a bit creepy.

There's a nice crescent moon out this morning. Easy to see, too: clear skies from Beaverton to Forest Grove. Was a happy surprise walking home from the bus.

It's last Wednesday which means my friend Megaphysics and I are playing music down at Ground Kontrol arcade #pdx tonight. Music starts at 9:00 PM, games are set to free play, $5 cover, 21 and over.

I've got a stack of electro, IDM, and techno to play. I'm excited to play tracks from that recent Reedale Rise archivist release. And some D.I.E.. And...

Reedale Rise has a new free Archivist release out. 14 tracks of electro, house, techno, etc. Great stuff.

An hour of d&b, drumfunk, breakbeat music. 10 tracks from the label Subtle Audio, two from Digibeat Music, and a couple neat one-off pieces from Chikyu-u and Outsider.

Thinkin' bout drum & bass.

The video isn't great, but that's the best sounding version of the song I could find on youtube. There used to be an upload of this song with footage from Contact (1997), that was pretty cool...

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes. The program airs every Friday 06:30 to 07:30 UTC.

I'm playing drum & bass tonight, highlighting the Irish label Subtle Audio. Tracks by ASC, Equinox, Fracture, Nebula, Parallel.

Re-watched Johnny Guitar tonight. Love this movie, particularly the dialog. And the way the story hangs together. It just flies by, not a wasted moment.

I finished reading "Void Star" by Zachary Mason today. I liked it! The best descriptor I can think of is "post-cyberpunk", but that's probably an oversimplification.

It's written in a dreamlike, slightly complicated style, which I enjoyed. There were many references to classical mythology, mainly Greek, most of which I'm sure I missed. I think it's a book that will reward multiple readings.

I bought a new(ish) Datassette EP recently, and arranged this mix around it. Some techno, some house, some electro. Good tracks, OK mixing. I'm happy. Episode 99.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in just under 30 minutes.

~120 bpm straight beat electro, house, and techno tonight. Nothing real fancy. Featuring tracks by Datassette, Gerald Donald, Sbles3plex, and Solitary Dancer.

Nice weather out today, sunny and clear. A little cold but not too bad. I'm glad I picked today to run errands in town.

Old Rephlex and Warp, Metamatics, etc. Wonky breaks, electro, and IDM. I mistimed the ending a bit, but other than that, it's good. Good enough.

Here's something that got cut from my tracker mod / chiptune show this year. The Timbaland / Janne Sunni plagiarism controversy:

and a bonus: Lu9 / Acid Dad Evening

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes.

I'll be playing mostly '90s IDM tonight. Tracks from Plaid, Metamatics, B12, HIA, etc. Not very winter-y music, but it's what I'm feeling at the moment.

Super windy outside. Might lose power. I should probably go find a flashlight, just in case.

Fast-ish electro and IDM; a tiny bit noisy and glitchy. Features a couple of old favorites: Volum's remix of MFS_Root and OK Robot by Volsoc.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes. The program airs every Friday 6:30 to 7:30 UTC.

More mid-2000s and 2010s electro tonight. Digital Distortions, Kracktronic, Touchin' Bass, some other bits and pieces. Some of the noisier, slightly glitchy music from that time.

Went down to the arcade tonight, scored about 510,000 in 1945. Made it to stage 6. A good game, considering I hadn't played in over a month.

I read 22 books last year. Yaaay. Will try to read at least two a month this year. That seems like a comfortable pace.
