And now I realize that sounds like an advertisement. I guess it is, in a way. Unpaid advertising, I swear.

CPU Records has a 40% off sale on their bandcamp page now thru January 10th. Use discount code "getsorted".

I just picked up 10 releases from them. Nearly wiped out my bank account in the process. I've wanted to get into their catalog for a while, but I couldn't afford it. 96 Back, Microlith, Mikron, Silicon scally, so much good music. #electro

and at #aNONradio : https://anonradio.net/mtt-148-backwards-forwards/

A bonus mod music show. Slower than 147; longer tracks. Artists featured include Basehead, Darkhalo, Necros, Norfair, Radix, and RS3.

It feels right to end 2019 this way.

I've discovered that I can't listen to podcasts, and people talking in general, while trying to write.

I can listen to people talk while working with music. But not while writing words.

Hmm. Now that I've typed that out, it seems obvious.

I trashed my X server with ffplay.

Then I found out my VCR still works.

Nice.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes. I broadcast every Friday at 06:00 UTC.

More tracker mods tonight, because I don't know when to quit. Slow chillout stuff. Will feature tracks by Basehead, Darkhalo, Necros, RS3, and more.

Yaay a new episode of the Backlisted #podcast is out. #108, on the topic of "Remembrance Of Things Past" by Marcel Proust.

I'm 15 minutes in and already I feel happier.

Here's the tracklist for last week's Movement Through Thought, #147: https://djcev.com/2019/12/23/mtt-147-pattern-repeat/

and at #aNONradio : https://anonradio.net/mtt-147-pattern-repeat/

The annual tracker mod show. Features music by Dascon & Mygg & Bonefish, Dune, Illusion, RS3, Serpent & Rapture, and more. This one was a lot of work.

Re-recorded last week's MTT tonight and managed to get it exactly 59 minutes and 55 seconds long. Heck yeah.

I should have threaded the last three posts. I've been watching the 1994 movie Nadja, written & directed by Michael Almereyda.

Somebody uploaded Nadja to youtube if you care to watch it. It's probably been zoomed in or panned or cropped or whatever to fool the copyright algorithms, but here it is:

Lucy: "Monday I ate half a bagel, hot tea, and a can of coke. Tuesday I ate two diet cokes and a piece of pizza. Today I had a bag of M&M's. But I didn't eat the yellow ones."

Van Helsing: "Face it, Jim. She's a zombie."

Peter Fonda is great (and funny) as Van Helsing.

Renfield: "Do you mind if I sit in that chair? That's the chair I always sit in."

Cassandra: "Yes I do mind. I'm having a nervous breakdown."

Renfield: "I don't think you've been taking your medicine".

Cassandra: "I don't take medicine. I'm the nurse." ...

Renfield: "Well, maybe you should start taking it, because you don't look very well. And you're still sitting in my chair."

"We have come for the body of Count Voivoida Armenios Ceauşescu Dracula. I believe there is a wooden stake in the heart. You will take us to him."

"Note: the picture should be an expression of your brand identity, whether you're an individual or a brand/collective"

I hate it

Apologies for cutting out at the end of tonight's show on #aNONradio . I lost my internet connection at about the 52 minute mark.

Any other night and I'd shrug it off and move on, but the mod show is imprtant to me. I'll be re-recording that and uploading it somewhere; maybe mixcloud or soundcloud. Should be done by Sunday night.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in ~30 minutes. It's live every Friday at 06:00 UTC (that's Thursday 10 PM PST).

Demoscene music tonight. Tracker mods, old and new. I do this once a year; tonight's the night. I'll be featuring music by Dune, Illusion, Necros, Norfair, RS3, and more.

Me and my friend DJ Cache are filling in for Proqxis at the arcade tonight. Cache & CEV @ Ground Kontrol Arcade #pdx 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM, no cover, 21 & over.

We'll be playing electro and IDM; house and techno. Probably some demoscene music too, since that's on my mind.

The DFWC2019 round 6 CPM winning run is beautiful. That slide. #quake3 #defrag #dfwc

Here's the tracklist for last week's Movement Through Thought: https://djcev.com/2019/12/13/mtt-146-a-winter-rotation/

and at #aNONradio : https://anonradio.net/mtt-146-a-winter-rotation/

A grab bag show. Electro, house, and techno. Some sketchy mixing. Features tracks by B12, Drexciya, Legowelt, and Zwart Licht Kommando.

Dune / I'm A Ram [AKA sapa.s3m]

I'm rendering and tagging Lassi Nikko's old mods tonight. #nowplaying

Legowelt / Crystal Cat

I've had this stuck in my head for a few days. #nowplaying . "Bronson Quest".

I'm going to have to rewatch Michael Almereyda's movie Nadja tonight now that I've thought about it. Here's the slightly misleading trailer:

I had seen parts of Cherry 2000 before, but that was my first time watching it in full. The campy tone was surprising. IMDB tells me Michael Almereyda wrote it; in that context it makes a lot more sense.

Lester, for example, reminds me of Peter Fonda's portrayal of Van Helsing in Almereyda's Nadja.

Thanks again #WeAreNameless .

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes. My program airs every Friday at 06:00 UTC (That's Thursday at 10:00 PM PST).

Sort of a lazy, weird show tonight. Electro, techno, a tiny bit of house. I'll be featuring tracks by CRC, Drexciya, Herr Wacher, and Legowelt.

Listen at http://anonradio.net/ .

I'm just now starting work on this year's tracker music show. Better late than never, I guess.

I think I'll play a bunch of Lassi Nikko.

Illusion / Azlak

#nowplaying a weird tracker / demoscene piece from 1998, released on the netlabel Milk.

and at #aNONradio : https://anonradio.net/mtt-145-electronic-traveller/

A weird show. New tracks from Ivna Ji, Koova, and Point Guard. Old weirdness by AFX, Drøn, and Raw Stevens. Rounded out by some solid breaks and electro from BFX, Chaotic state, and Imatran Voima.

I can't sleep. I must have posted this before, but here it goes again anyway:

"It doesn't matter how you change(?) at all. Just relax and ease your mind."

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes. It's live every Friday at 06:00 UTC.

I picked up a couple new electro EPs this week, so that's tonight's agenda. I'll be featuring tracks by BFX, Boris Divider, Ivna Ji, Point Guard, and Sigma Algebra.

Listen at http://anonradio.net/ .

Went into the city yesterday and picked up the novels "vN" by Madeline Ashby and "Voice Of The Whirlwind" by Walter Jon Williams.

Will start one of those once I finish re-reading Delany's "Nova".
