It feels weird to not be DJing at the arcade this month. It's been years since we've taken a break. The show would've been tomorrow (the 25th).

My tracklist commentary process (and my writing process in general) seems to be:

1. wait until the last second
2. word vomit
3. delete all the bad parts
4. rework and edit what's left until I'm too tired to find it embarrasing
4. publish whatever remains (usually three paragraphs).

I am terrrrible at this.

Legowelt has a new album out called "Tips For Life". It's available for free (name your price) over at the Nightwind bandcamp:

It has "Arcade Breeze" on it, the second track from his legendary Memphis Rap Mix. I'm super excited to have a clean copy of that track...

The #VampireTheMasquerade #VtM #LAByNight season 4 finale premiers in 10 minutes over at https://www.twitch.tv/worldofdarkness . Really looking forward to this episode. L.A. By Night has been my soap opera of choice the last few weeks.

I tend to retreat into fiction in difficult times, so the last few weeks I've been watching this video campaign of Vampire The Masquerade 5th edition called "LA By Night".

It's a difficult thing to describe. Part roleplaying game, part improv theater, part soap opera, and a few parts marketing for #vampirethemasquerade #VtM 5th Ed. . I've really enjoyed watching it.

The first three seasons are on youtube here:

CW: covid-19, TP, panic

I walked to the grocery store today and bought a big box of tea. I was surprised to see the toilet paper aisle was mostly empty. I guess the panic has reached my little suburb.

And while I'm rambling about this, here are a few discogs links for the releases in question:

Those CDs - Megatech Body and the two tribute albums - are such a neat piece of techno history. I know some of those artists contributed music specifically because they were fans of Ghost In The Shell.

I've been meaning to record that Ghost In The Shell PSX mix (or a version of it) since like 2007. It doesn't work as well as I'd like, and I let some things slip during that session, but I'm happy.

Ooh, I was mistaken, that DVD set isn't the first three episodes of "Witch Hunter Robin", it's the entire show on three discs. In very bad video quality. Exciting.

Back from the city. Picked up a first US hardcover of "Random Acts Of Senseless Violence" by Jack Womack and a bootleg DVD set of the first three episodes of "Witch Hunter Robin".

Was a good day.

I'm having a weird week. I seem to be living on a combination of cheap black tea, Quake 3 Defrag, and back episodes of Vampire The Masquerade: L.A. By Night.

This will have to end soon.
