An hour of noisy glitchy electro, featuring a bunch of tracks from Pyramid Transmissions and Touchin' Bass. This is a sort of re-work of MTT No. 050 / Nu Groove, an older episode from three years ago.

Walked into town today, to the secondhand store / thrift store. Picked up a used copy of THX-1138 on DVD.
It was about a mile and a half each way. That's the furthest I've been from my house in 4 months.
A fast grab-bag set featuring new(ish) tracks from CYWU, Ikonika, NULLPTR, and a piece from the new compilation on Fundamental Bass Intelligence.

I wrote a little article about a record I love: https://djcev.com/2021/01/voigt-kampff-carplan
I'm not much of a writer (and an even worse photographer) but I figure if I work at it for a few years I'll improve. Maybe I'll figure out how to convey with words how much I love music.
The Real Men Use Carplan E.P. by Voigt Kampff. Programming by A.(DOL.B)Balneaves, vocals by Lyken, scratching by Raiz, beatboxing by Rage, and graff by Elf One. Released on Panic Trax in 1997. Vinyl, 12". Flac, 16bit/44.1khz, ~130M. Tracklist, track durations, credits, and BPM from the label artwork. File size, bit depth, and bitrate are of my stored recordings of the vinyl.
I'm confused as to which side is side A. The runout groove indicates that "This Side", the side with Skinny Cap, is B; discogs says otherwise. For this article I've gone with the track order shown on discogs.

I've been having a quiet but productive few days. Did a bunch of work on some hidden bits of my website, wrote an article about a '90s electro record (to be published tomorrow), cleaned out my incoming music directory. Lots of boring data entry.
In the middle of all that I somehow re-watched Witch Hunter Robin.

Spotted this in episode 1 of Otherside Picnic. Now I'm wondering if there's anything else hiding in the show.
Marking as sensitive 'cause I guess it could be a spoiler. (And there's a drawing of a scary monster). I'm sure it's old news by now anyway.
Some familiar electro & IDM at around 120. Mostly older tracks, kind of a loose set.

I haven't followed new anime in a few years, but I heard about Otherside Picnic through preview guides and just watched the first episode. It's a surreal horror/science fiction/supernatural yuri show (loosely inspired by Roadside Picnic, the "Otherside" being the "Zone"). I like it a lot, it seems promising. Will watch the rest of it as it airs.

"The best thing about an influence is to realize it and to swallow it and to never throw it away. It's like throwing away all the advantages of meter or rhyme. Everything is grist to your mill. You want to be on guard but not afraid."
Rosemary Tonks, from a short audio interview clip in the latest episode of the Backlisted podcast. Something about that really struck me today.
Pensive electro up around 140. Features a few new tracks from Lloyd Stellar, Metamatics, and Nullptr, and (as always) some old favorites.

"I Wanna Rock You" by Giorgio Moroder:
"I wanna rock you, I wanna roll you, all night long..."
"Mystic Eyes" by the Polgyamy Boys & Lindsay-J:
"We've been in this rut for far too long / it's time to show me if you're really that
strong
Where is the man I fell so hard for / are you ready to give me more?
Do you have eyes for others? Do you have eyes for me?
Do you have eyes for others? Do you wanna be with me?"
