More dark (ish) electro and techno, this time at a comfortable (and later aggressive) 130. Most of these are old tracks, with the exception of one from March of this year on Brokntoys.

I just finished reading Kameron Hurley's "The Light Brigade". Liked it a lot!
Military SF of the anti-war "war is hell" variety. Gets a bit gnarly, gory, and mean at times.
It's clearly riffing on Starship Troopers (both Heinlein's book and Verhoeven's movie) as well as Haldeman's Forever War. Which is fine by me, I found that aspect more familiar than distracting.
I liked the structure of the book and the ending quite a bit. Was a good time, a real page-turner.
Melancholy (perhaps even spooky) electro for this first week of October. This mix features four new tracks from Brokntoys and two tracks from the recent Alignment compilation on Patterned Media. Plus, you know, a bunch of old favorites.

Time for an ear break.
Something I do when DJing or working with music is take the headphones off and/or get away from loud sounds every 15 or 30 minutes. Go listen to something quiet.
cpm.1 FastCaps[.df] at youtube.com. The latest (and sadly probably final) Quake 3 Defrag compilation video from power_of_heavy_metal. 15 minutes of fastcaps performed with cpm movement and fastcap 1 rules (so no weapons, teleports, or jumppads).
Content warning for flashing lights and first-person gameplay that might cause motion sickness. Same for all Quake videos.
power_of_heavy_metal has great taste in music and the selections for this video are no exception. I particularly like the second track, Io by Concealed Identity from their Nightingale Floor EP on Repertoire.
Linking this today because I found it recently and it's rad. I'll probably link the other power_of_heavy_metal compilation videos when I get around to rewatching them.
Chunky beats and a little ambient to close out September 2021. Most of this is old, but there are a couple new (2020 and later) tracks in here by Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza & SkyTwoHigh and Paul Blackford.

Think I might set aside some time this weekend for computer maintenance. Do backups, a little cleaning, maybe upgrade to FreeBSD 13.0.
Downtempo, electro, and IDM, all weighing in at around 110. Mostly older tracks this time, familiar selections.

The next MTT mix is coming, I haven't forgotten. I had an unusually difficult week so I'm relaxing my normal Thursday evening deadline. Will try to have it up tonight.
115-120 electro, IDM, and techno today. A bit relaxed. A couple old tunes from TRUST and Vortex Traks, and a new one from dbacon.

cpm.1 FastCaps[.df] by power_of_heavy_metal
#Quake3 #q3defrag fastcaps. Apparently - according to the comments - this will be the last power_of_heavy_metal video. Really sad it'll be the last; heavy metal's compilation videos are all incredible.

Drinking tea after midnight again.
A blurry photo of my shelves. I'm moving to a nearby city in a few days and wanted to document their state before I box everything up.
Two full-height wire shelving units containing books and movies, CDs and vinyl, video games and et cetera. Most of what's pictured was purchased used at donation centers, secondhand shops, and thrift stores. The DVD cases without artwork contain secrets.
I'm sure there's something to be said here about consumerism and embarrassing displays of conspicuous consumption but I haven't figured out what.

Woo my soap opera is on again.
L.A. By Night (a Vampire The Masquerade actual play series) Season 5 Episode 2 premiering in a few minutes over on:
More breaks and electro this week, letting tracks run long, something smooth and easy on the ears. This mix features one pretty new track from the Imaginary Pathways album by Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza & SkyTwoHigh on No Problema Tapes and some recent tunes from CPU Records and Kouncil Cuts.

I'm moderately depressed at the moment and so not posting here much. Retreating into fantasy pretty hard to deal with it. I've got a pretty difficult thing to do next week so I'm saving up energy for that.
I really like clicking on the glitchsoc mastodon logo in the lower left to cycle through its three images.
