Heard this at the end of a podcast today & felt like linking it:
"Chant" by The Durutti Column from their 2010 album "A Paean To Wilson". Really beautiful.
MTT 324 / New Plane Interaction
More electro & techno, this time around 130. New(ish) tracks by Vektorspace and Stratos Zero (both from last year), plus two more ~202x tracks by Sickboy and L'Automat. Otherwise this is mostly old stuff I wanted to hear today.

There's a small #quake3 Defrag cup going on right now. TimConLan / CrazyAl have been doing coverage. The video for the third round (third week) was just posted:
It's good stuff. There's an airjump / jumpboots mechanic in this round's map.
MTT 323 / Vague Definition
An hour and change of 140 BPM electro & techno. Long tracks from Heath Brunner and Mr Velcro Fastener, plus a few from Semantica (including another long one from Plant43). Quick, precise, bright.

Starting the Shadowrun Hong Kong bonus campaign on stream today at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.
I suspect this session will mostly be me reading to myself. I remember the fights in the bonus campaign being very challenging so I'm looking forward to those.

After fighting with it for hours I got the latest TrenchBroom release to compile and run under FreeBSD. A pretty big upgrade over NetRadiant 1.5.
I have most of the tools I need now to develop for the Quake engine. I think the one thing I'm missing is a 3d modelling toolchain.
MTT 322 / Faint Structure
A grab bag show to close out April. Beats, IDM, tracker music, etc. at around 100 BPM. This one features a new piece by SkyTwoHigh, a few bits from the Tokyo Dawn tracker catalog, and a bunch of old favorites.

Started a new version control repo today ("git init" in this case). Not something I do often.
This one is for tracking & publishing the Quake C and Quake engine stuff I've been doing.
A good feeling, starting a new repository and putting stuff in it.
MTT 321 / Focus Past
Dub & dub techno today featuring a bunch of tracks from the Heavy Dub compilations on Cold Tear Records and old favorites by Autechre and Deadbeat.

Some evening listening. Bill Laswell, Buckethead, Brain. I keep meaning to play this in a mix & keep skipping it for one reason or another.

I did my reading & writing for the day so I'm going to #stream some more SNES Shadowrun at https://twitch.tv/andreaen.
The goal this session is to ascend Drake Tower and complete the Bremerton & Jester Spirit portion of the game.

Stanton QuickGrid (Part 2 - scs4tool.sh)
Intro & Problem
For years I used a Stanton SCS.4DJ standalone player / mixer to play digital music in mixes. The SCS.4DJ comes with a program called QuickGrid that is used to generate metadata for music files you plan to play on the device. Notably QuickGrid takes care of calculating BPM, generating waveform displays, and so on.
Unfortunately QuickGrid is only publicly available for Windows and OS X,
and I'm a BSD / Linux user. So, after a bit of investigation,
I wrote a shell script wrapper around the djanalyze.exe
program that comes with the QuickGrid software package. This script lets
me do everything QuickGrid does from the comfort of my FreeBSD machine.
Here's a little about that shell script, scs4tool.sh:
