Morning sounds

From the album Genetic Flaw. 1997, Liquid Sky and/or Home Entertainment. Doubles up at around 5:20.

Thinking about resurrecting my G4 Cube. I know I can run NetBSD on it, looks like OpenBSD supports it too. Should probably spend my time doing backups instead.

MTT 245 / Just As Real https://djcev.com/2021/11/mtt-245-just-as-real/

#breaks and #electro , 130 rising to 140. This #djmix features new tracks by Anz, Drexell, dvidevat, NTHR1, and Temple Sniper. (And some old favorites, Silicon Scally and T.E.S.T. among them).

I do not like the the new autoplaying videos on discogs. I guess they're not new, they've been there a few weeks, but they're really irritating me now.

Need to upgrade my adblocker I guess.

Did my monthly music shopping today. Picked up DJ Wally's old Genetic Flaw album, the new Drexell (AKA Plex) EP on Particle Music, some old Lectromagnetique on Bass Agenda, and an old Goth-Trad single on Deep Medi. A good haul I think.

CW: Horror, film criticism, link to old website

Was listening to a film podcast and they brought up Snowblood Apple. I used to read that site over a decade ago, hadn't thought about it in a long time. Glad to see it's still online.

My friend Josh Walund is doing his yearly Halloween radio set on KBVR-FM in Corvallis right now:

or 88.7 FM if you're in the Corvallis, OR area.

Really good (and sad!) final episode of L.A. By Night. A satisfying sendoff and resolution to the series. And it seems there's a NY By Night coming next year to look forward to. #labynight

Kind of an unfocused set. It doesn't have a strong resolution. The tracks are all good though, and I don't get in the way of them too much I think, so that's OK.

MTT 244 / Pictures Of The Gill-man https://djcev.com/2021/10/mtt-244-pictures-of-the-gill-man/

Slow #electro , #idm , and ambient. Brooding and dark. This #djmix features tracks by Ben Milstein, Gamma Intel, Jauzas The Shining, ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ, Scorn, and more.

Good practice tonight, made me happy. Played some old Bitstream, old Meat Beat Manifesto, even older Scorn. Love playing Scorn.

watching Footprints On The Moon (1975). The copy/version that was uploaded to youtube. Looks like it was digitized from a Greek VHS tape. English audio, low-resolution blurry video.

I think there's a cleaned up bluray of this available but I forget who put it out.

Note to self, don't watch old Kiyoshi Kurosawa horror movies right before going to sleep.

The second-to-last episode of the Vampire The Masquerade actual play series L.A. By Night is starting right now

Season 5 episode 8. One more to go after this.

MTT 243 / Connections Between https://djcev.com/2021/10/mtt-243-connections-between/

Spooky #electro and a tiny bit of #techno . This #djmix features tracks by Alex Nôrinh, Andrea Parker, Camino Acid, Dr. Lovelock, Shadowbunny, The Outsider, and four recent tunes on Brokntoys.

Kind of a normal set for me; I'm leaning on some familiar sounds this week.

The first episode of Critical Role's third campaign is starting in about 15 minutes:

I'll be watching while I write up mix notes. #criticalrole
