Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio is live in 30 minutes. My show airs every Friday from 06:00 to 07:00 UTC (That's 10 PM Thursday pacific time).

~100 bpm beats tonight. Downtempo, dub techno, IDM, etc. Will feature tracks by Aaron Spectre, Boards Of Canada, Lionrock, Mikron, and T.Power.

One track I plan to play has some profanity: a single F-bomb. Please consider your environment before tuning in.

Back from the arcade.

Megaphysics and I played well, we both had good sets. I spent a few hours hanging out with my friend DJ Popcorn, haven't done that in about a year. And (!) had dinner at The Roxy. Was a good night.

But now I can't sleep. I guess that's OK.

I'm headed to the arcade tonight to DJ with my friend Megaphysics. CEV & Megaphysics @ Ground Kontrol Arcade #pdx 9:00 PM until close, $7 cover, games are set to free play, 21 & over.

I'll be playing the usual selection of electro, techno, and downtempo from 11:30 PM on.

CW: Alcohol, Sobriety

I abstained from drinking alcohol for a year back in 2016, and am doing the same this year.

Both four years ago and now, after about two weeks I started craving sugar. From what I read online that's common. It's some kind of physical or psychological replacement effect. It's a weird feeling.

Feels like time for a late-night PB & J.

Drum & Bass. dBridge, Sully, a little '90s, a few tracks from the third Subtle Audio comp, and a whole lot of Cosmic Bridge. Was a good set.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes. The show is live every Friday at 06:00 UTC (that's 10 PM Thursday west coast USA time).

Some drum & bass tonight. Half-time, minimal, and some old '90s tunes at the end. I'm going to play five or six awesome tracks from Om Unit's label Cosmic Bridge.

I saw William Gibson read from his new book "Agency" at Powells tonight. He's as nice and witty as ever.

I'm really glad I caught him this tour, I missed the last couple. I love hearing him swear.

T.Power / Bionic Chronic

From his 1996 album "Waveform".

I was mixing some drum & bass tonight, playing around, and came up against the weird time signature in this track. I count the first phrase as 6 and the second as 7; I guess that makes it 13 over 4? Something like that. #nowplaying

Selections from CPU Records, Binalog Productions, and some old '90s electronica. I snuck the excellent "Double Density" by Bitstream in there too, to show off.

CW: MH, Winter

I'm having a slow, uninspired, unproductive month. I feel sluggish. Maybe it's the winter weather (and light level).

Trying my best to not beat myself up about it. Do a bunch of small things to keep myself moving. Wait it out.

I've been listening to the "Discord & Rhyme" album review podcast today. Their episode on Eno's "Here Come The Warm Jets" is great:

Breaks, electro, IDM. ~130. Features tracks by ADJ, Automat, Darren Rhys, Oushe, Silicon Scally, and Vaperror. Just riffing, free association, you know.

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

I bought a USB gamepad the other day, and then spent hours trying to get mednafen to see it.

It turns out that mednafen looks for linux evdev joysticks if it finds linux/joystick.h at compile time. I'm on FreeBSD, so I need it to use SDL2 for joystick support. A dependency of qt5-gui installs joystick.h, causing the problem.

The workaround was to edit src/drivers/Joystick.cpp around line 178 and force it to use SDL2. I should write a patch and submit it to the mednafen port maintainer.

A pretty good set of mostly 2010s ~135 BPM electro. Features tracks by Cygnus, Drexciya, Gosub, Microlith, Morphology, Shann-X, and T.E.S.T. . Was fun but a little messy.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio is live in 30 minutes. My show airs every Friday from 06:00 to 07:00 UTC (That's 10:00 PM Pacific Time).

Fast space-y electro tonight. I'll be featuring tracks by Cygnus, Drexciya, Microlith, Plant43, and The Martian.

I've been distributing recorded mixes for almost three years now. It's way past time I wrote something like the old Blogariddims decksclaimer: http://www.weareie.com/2006/05/decksclaimer.html

The trouble is, I'm a terrible writer. And I feel like if I address the subject at all it will invite negative attention.

Still writing the post, though, because it feels like the right thing to do.

Happy New Year from the west coast of the USA. (Three hours late).

I slept through midnight so I missed all the ball drops and fireworks and hijinks.
