There's a Quake 3 CPMA Beginners Duel Cup going on today. Mixture of stock and kenya maps. Nekon is streaming it right now at http://twitch.tv/nekontv. Expect some swearing.

If I'd known the cup was open to american players I might've signed up. Will have to keep a look out for the next one.

This one's pretty similar to the music I used to listen to, buy and DJ back when I was in high school. Which is a little embarrasing to think about.

It was fun to revisit these songs and mix them again. I hope everybody who happens to listen enjoys them too. Even if they all sound a bit worn out.

I will be live on aNONradio in ~30 minutes.

Going to mash together some old breakbeat and big beat stuff. I think I'm missing some important pieces of that style, so it might sound a bit scatterbrained. We'll see how it goes.

MPV 0.26 has hit FreeBSD ports, just upgraded. A few observations:

dvdnav seems to be working much better.

Replaygain functionality has been restored (using the --replaygain-* set of options).

And... I get errors when using the OSS audio output driver under FreeBSD. "[ao/oss] Audio device returned broken buffer state" spammed continuously. The message can be suppressed with "--msg-level=ao/oss=fatal". I wonder what that's about...

Recorded Trisomie 21's album "Plays The Pictures" today.

Here's the final track from the album, "Take The Shock Away", on youtube:

Content warning for this mix: it's probably not one for the kids. I don't think there's any swearing, but there's quite a bit of grunting & moaning (in the style of Kraftwerk's "Tour De France").

Was an OK mix. I could use more practice with these records.

"A million freaks, huh, that's all I need".

I will be live on aNONradio in ~30 minutes. I've dug up my Egyptian Lover, Arabian Prince and Unknown DJ for tonight. I like to think of this as the "west coast electro" sound. Expect a lot of grunting.

Went music shopping today... using my web browser.

Picked up digital copies of:

"Optical" by Nullptr
"Inspiring Memories" by Andrew Red Hand.
"Living In Unity" by Smith & Mighty.
"Pounding System" by Dub Syndicate.
"Liquid Earth" and "The Beckoning / Skyland" by Arcon 2.

And that's my music budget for the month.

Pretty happy with that one.

I will be live on aNONradio in ~30 minutes. Going to play back some '90s stuff I think.

So I'm finally getting around to recording my 2x12" copy of "Vegas" by The Crystal Method. I look it up on discogs and see that the vinyl hasn't been reprinted since 1997. Look up at the price and... egads.

It's selling for about 10x what I paid for it.

I'm not sure if that's sellers on discogs being unreasonable, or if the record is really that scarce / desirable. Color me surprised in any case.

Finally got around to rendering Skaven's "Beyond The Network" out to .flac today. "Beyond The Network" is probably better known as the soundtrack to Bejeweled 2.

It's an awesome piece of music. Skaven has it up on his bandcamp if anybody out there in TV-land wants to listen:

More dub coming this summer. I should pick up more Laswell...

I will be live on aNONradio in ~25 minutes. I'm very tired, so I'm just gonna play some dubby stuff. Mad Professor, Laswell, maybe a few downtempo odds and ends.

First day of seriously hot weather here in metro area Oregon. If it didn't hit 100 F where I am, it got very close.

Drinking tea and tagging / organizing music right now. Doing my impression of a librarian.

Some fun electro tunes. Slowly creeping my way towards Miami Bass...
