Still watching The X-Files, it's still keeping my mood up in this bad month. I'm in the middle of season 3 now. I had forgotten how good the episode "Pusher" is. I love Robert Wisden's performance as Modell/Pusher.
"Please explain to me the scientific nature of 'the whammy'".
Electro, sometimes smooth, sometimes noisy, leaning into IDM territory near the end. A similar selection to last week's program (I guess I wasn't done with that particular mood yet).

Absolutely rocking out to the Phantasm soundtrack this morning.
A couple of things have prompted me to re-evaluate how I distribute recorded mixes on this website.
First, I stopped broadcasting on aNONradio a few weeks ago. Since I'm no longer a contributing member there, I believe it's unfair for me to link to files in aNONradio's archives. (And those files could disappear at any time - whenever the admins decide they need the disk space, basically). I'm going to have to host my own files from now on.
Second, 189 mixes (200 soon) is too many to keep available all at once, in my opinion. Right now it's 15 gigs of mp3 data. That's not an amount of data I can afford to serve, given my current hosting and money situation.
So here's my plan: each new episode of Movement Through Thought will be available as a downloadable file hosted on this website for one year. I'll remove old files as I add new ones. The tracklist blog posts will remain up. Old mixes that I think are significant I'll keep available as downloads indefinitely, no more than a couple for each broadcast year. I'll tag posts with audio download to hopefully make them easier to find. Recordings uploaded to mixcloud will remain there for as long as mixcloud keeps them.
I do still have all these files, so if there's a specific mix you want that isn't available on this website send me an e-mail and I'll try to get it to you.
That's where I'm at. This seems like a reasonable system to me, a good middle ground. I hope it works out.

I started rewatching The X-Files a few days ago, skipping the episodes I don't like. It's a nostalgic show for me. I can remember watching it week to week as it aired. It's been good for my mood, my mental health.
Just now starting season 2. Duane Barry loves season 2.
Electro all at ~128 BPM, the October mood. Features a few classics (Isolation, Think Like Us) as well as new tracks (Trichome's Thoth Lowrider). And: I finally cleaned the potentiometers in my DJ mixer.

Up at 1:30 AM, tea at 4:00 AM... I don't like it.

I spent the afternoon disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling my DJ mixer. Cleaned the potentiometers with what was probably the wrong kind of deoxit. That fixed the scratchiness, but introduced some other problems.
My mixer - an Ecler Nuo 4 - was really not meant to be taken apart.
Spooky electro for the beginning of October 2020. Fast, ~135, featuring old favorites by Ectomorph, I-F, Psylocity, and Transparent Sound plus some new(ish) tracks by Illektrolab, JGarrett, and Umwelt.

Oof. I really need to clean the EQ pots on my DJ mixer.
Will do that in the morning, once the household wakes up.

I wasn't paying attention and made black tea instead of green at 3:30 AM.
I guess that's OK, I have work to do anyway.

Here's the trailer for it, for Sogo Ishii's Burst City, over at youtube:

Woah, it looks like Arrow Video is going to release Burst City (1982, dir. Sogo Ishii) on bluray next month. The last english subtitled release of the movie that I'm aware of is Discotek Media's DVD from 2006. It's been hard to get for a decade now.
It's a really good, though challenging, Japanese #cyberpunk movie. More punk than cyber.
Hmm, bluray region code B, sadly.

I'm moving to a new mastodon account, going to try out the big instance. You can find me at @cev@mastodon.social . I'll do the account migration in a minute.
