Logical Aggression at Ground Kontrol was last night. DJ Megaphysics was out of town, so I played music from 9 PM until close. The selection was a mixture of MTT 095 and 094, plus some tracks that were in my notes for those shows but didn't make the cut for radio.
Not too much to say beyond that. It was a good night. I wish demoscene mods sounded better loud on a big system...

I'm DJing at Ground Kontrol arcade in Portland OR #pdx tonight. Megaphysics is out of town so it's just me from 9 PM until close. The games are set to free play so there's a $5 cover.
I plan to knit together my last few radio shows. Lots of tracker mods, breakbeat, electro, a little ambient. I hope the mods sound alright on their system.

It was my birthday yesterday.
I watched Diabolique (1955) and then ate too much cake. Feeling some mixture of satisfied and melancholy.
Diabolique was great. I've wanted to see it for years.

Why do I think DJing tracker mods is a good idea?
Every year I do this, and every year it turns out to be way more work than I expected.
Electro and IDM this week. Working through some old favorites.

Lyrics part 2:
We are the children, the children of creation
And we live in your atomic nation
You have the power, the power to give
And you show us the right way to live
Know your truth, we accept your wisdom
And we shall die for your electric kingdom
Accept your words without hesitation
We are the children of the atomic nation

Lyrics part 1:
I am the king, and you are my creation
I am the ruler of the atomic nation
I have the power, the power to give
I shall show you the right way to live
I shall show you truth and I shall give you wisdom
I am the king of the electric kingdom
Accept my words without hesitation
I am the ruler of the atomic nation

Atomic Nation / Atomic Nation (Parallaxed)
Also released as "Invasion" on the Parallax Corporation album Cocadisco.
Third-to-last track in the hour of music I just played. Had to hear it again.

Just finished reading "Aurora" by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Liked this one much more than New York 2140. Aurora has the same problems as 2140, I think, but the plot kept me going. And Aurora is shorter - it feels shorter, at least.

From all the tracks in the Assembly '98 list, this (in my opinion) is the jam:
Ceniq^Milk / XEQ-Complex

Done with Assembly 1998.

I picked up two books today: "Kink" by Kathe Koja and "Traveler #5: Road War" by D.B. Drumm (AKA John Shirley).
Looking forward to both of them. "Road War" is going to be really fun and trashy. I'm not sure about "Kink" - but if it's anything like "Skin", then I'll love it.

This year's Assembly Summer tracked music top 10 is amazing.
