I've never really had content ("content") to work with but now that I do website design stuff is kinda fun. And I like static site compilers a lot.

MTT 248 / Who's To Say https://djcev.com/2021/11/mtt-248-whos-to-say/

Dubby stuff for this last #djmix of November. About half the tempo of last week's set, a head-nodding pace. This hour features music by Akcept, Bandulu, DJ Wally, FSOL, Kuedo, Mike Schommer, and more.

Writing is impossible and I hate it. It takes me forever to convey even a simple message. Always cutting through fog, a hazy brain.

Rebound Breaks Incorporated 1999

I'm in the content mines today. Digging through the Rebound netlabel catalog, rendering the bits I like to .wav. 115 releases, about 80 more to go.

The latest Stardew Valley runs fine using native mono on #FreeBSD 12. I used fnaify to set up the game, though I had to find an old version to get it to run on FreeBSD.

Mods for the game also work. Some require additional dllmap lines in the MONO_CONFIG file (importantly for me "libc" needed to be mapped to "libc.so.7").

I've been playing through Stardew Valley Expanded this way, it's pretty good.

I've been staying away from the internet the last week or so, it was getting me down, I needed a break.

Been listening to podcasts, digging through tracker mods for next month's mod show, and playing Stardew Valley. That's about it.

MTT 247 / Outside Lines https://djcev.com/2021/11/mtt-247-outside-lines/

More #electro and #techno , some smooth, some sharp. This mix features a couple new tracks at the start by dbacon, Ke Thu, Legowelt, and Made. Most of the selection is old though, with two big favorites by Bitstream and Dark Vektor.

MTT 246 / In Transit https://djcev.com/2021/11/mtt-246-in-transit/

#electro and a little #techno for this week's #djmix . Mostly old tracks this time, some favorites of mine. Artists featured include Carl Finlow, Mariska Neerman, NULLPTR, Pollon, Reedale Rise, The Other People Place, and more.

MTT will be late this week, there was a long power outage here (and I wasn't ready anyway). I'll try to have it recorded & written-up & published around noon PST tomorrow.

Now I need to go sleep zZzZzZz.

Listening to a film review podcast and the description for the episode I'm on includes the phrase "Dell Abyss miserabilism" and I have to say that's excellent.

I'm converting a bunch of tracker mods to .flac today. The old Mostvaluableplayaz catalog available on files.scene.org .

It's a frustrating process, involves a lot of file renaming. Halfway done and I really want to quit.

There's some Quake on today. NVC is streaming a #quakelive duel cup. Cypher, Agent, and Pavel are playing according to the stream description.

And DFWC 2021 round 3 ends today too. Sweet.

DJ Wally / Mr. Beaver Saves The Day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrDMLD2OJyY

From the album Genetic Flaw. 1997, Liquid Sky and/or Home Entertainment. Doubles up at around 5:20.

Thinking about resurrecting my G4 Cube. I know I can run NetBSD on it, looks like OpenBSD supports it too. Should probably spend my time doing backups instead.

MTT 245 / Just As Real https://djcev.com/2021/11/mtt-245-just-as-real/

#breaks and #electro , 130 rising to 140. This #djmix features new tracks by Anz, Drexell, dvidevat, NTHR1, and Temple Sniper. (And some old favorites, Silicon Scally and T.E.S.T. among them).

I do not like the the new autoplaying videos on discogs. I guess they're not new, they've been there a few weeks, but they're really irritating me now.

Need to upgrade my adblocker I guess.

Did my monthly music shopping today. Picked up DJ Wally's old Genetic Flaw album, the new Drexell (AKA Plex) EP on Particle Music, some old Lectromagnetique on Bass Agenda, and an old Goth-Trad single on Deep Medi. A good haul I think.
