My buddy DRXT (AKA DJ Megaphysics AKA Phase4Stereo) released a new #techno mix today.

He's been working on it for a few months. It's been fun to brainstorm track ideas with him down at the arcade. Super excited for this one.

Check it out:

Black tea at midnight.

My sleep schedule is wrecked.

Ministry / All Day

#fediplay #gothtober

EBM, not goth exactly (unless you flip this record over...), but give me a few tracks in here while I scheme.

All day
In life, there's just one transition
All day
In life, there's just one decision

Nine Inch Nails / Sin

#fediplay #gothtober

It comes down to this
Your kiss
Your fist
And your strain
That gets under my skin
Within
Take in the extent of my sin

I just finished reading "Skin" by Kathe Koja.

It's a mean, hungry, sometimes repulsive book about love and obsession. It's shelved with the horror but there's nothing supernatural here.

Really strong stuff. Beautiful, brutal, wrenching prose.

A significant chunk of the book is about body modification. Read a synopsis and think carefully before reading the book.

I loved it. I probably should not have read it right now.

Machines Of Loving Grace / Butterfly Wings

#fediplay #gothtober

Don't place faith in human beings
Human beings are unreliable things

Switchblade Symphony / Bad Trash

#fediplay #gothtober

Day 12 a day late.

Strawberry Switchblade / Since Yesterday

#fediplay #gothtober

And as we sit here alone
Looking for a reason to go on
It's so clear that all we have now
Are our thoughts of yesterday

Tones On Tail / O.K. This Is The Pops

#fediplay #gothtober

Day 10 a day late.

All About Eve / End Of The Day

#fediplay #gothtober

I spy the golden sky
The golden sunset
The sky on fire
I spy the golden sky
The golden sunset
The sky on fire
End of the day
End of the day

$$code(lang=sh) for i in *flac; do mv "$i" "$(echo "$i" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"; done $$/code

Lots of cleanup work to do today.

Cocteau Twins / But I'm Not

#fediplay #gothtober

Love the TR-808 on this song, and the album it's from in general.

CW: Lyrics for Love Zero

You'll be the furthest thing away
I'll be punctured under jaws when you figure it out

And you'll play your smile card
You let your razor reiterate
when you figure it out

The Prids / Love Zero
