I've become weirdly fascinated with Kiyoshi Kurosawa's movies over the last few months. I've seen bits and pieces of a bunch of his '90s movies recently, and have watched Cure a few times. I'm a big fan of Pulse (AKA Kairo, 2001) but haven't seen it in about a decade. I think I'll rewatch that one (Pulse) today.

Part 2 of my friend Hugh Manoid's Halloween radio program is airing on KBVR FM right now. Film soundtracks, library music, and weirdness. Listen at http://kbvr.com/ or 88.7 FM if you're in the Corvallis Oregon area.

New #djmix for this week available for download at djcev.com and streaming at mixcloud.

MTT 192 / One Would Think https://djcev.com/2020/10/29/mtt-192-one-would-think/

Posting this a bit early because I might sleep through my regular upload time this evening.

~90 BPM #electro beats and a couple #industrial pieces. A selection for the end of October. Features music by Automat, Noise Unit, Poison Arrow, Scorn, a few big pieces from the great Noxgenus label, and more.

I posted a really labored explanation of Stanton QuickGrid over at my blog: https://djcev.com/2020/10/27/stanton-quickgrid-part-1/

This is a very niche very specific problem to try and describe but maybe it'll help somebody out there. Looking forward to writing up the script itself, will give me a chance to spruce up my syntax highlighting CSS.

Death Guild is starting up now over at the DNA Lounge webcast for anyone who wants hours of #goth #industrial music played by skilled DJs:

I'm tempted to watch (skip through) episodes of this so I can talk about it but the more I think about that idea the worse it is. The show is part of a whole multimedia package including character goods, music, a video game, probably more... none of which I like. So if I watched this it'd just be to hate on it. That's a bad use of time, IMO. Somebody out there likes this and I shouldn't be, you know, looking down on 'em.

Spent a few minutes skipping through the first episode of D4DJ First Mix tonight and gosh does it make me feel incredibly old. An anime for a Bushiroad gacha (rhythm?) game about 24 DJs. I couldn't handle watching it straight through.

There's some accurately 3d rendered Pioneer gear, that was a nice surprise.

I was thinking about Kill Memory Crash earlier today, wondering what happened to them. So I looked up the members on discogs and it turns out one of them, Adam Sieczka, has been busy with a project this last decade called "Circa Tapes".

Maybe this is a well known thing and I'm just out of the loop, but this 2017 album "Love And Venom" is terrific:

My friend Josh Walund (Hugh Manoid) is airing part 1 of his Halloween radio program on KBVR FM right now. Listen at http://kbvr.com or 88.7 FM if you're in the Corvallis, OR area.

Copy/Paste but change what the bunny is holding.

This week's #djmix , available for download from djcev.com and streaming at mixcloud.

MTT 191 "It's By Will Alone": https://djcev.com/2020/10/22/mtt-191-it-s-by-will-alone/

#electro , some industrial, a little IDM. Took a chance and played some really crunchy, squelchy, distorted music. This mix features tracks by Cyberaktif, Gamma Intel, Ministry, Novamen, RS3, Scarletron, Umwelt, and more.

Oh wow, Bitstream have put Monolith up on their bandcamp.

This is a legendary #electro tune and up until recently was pretty hard to get.

My ears are unhappy with me. I think I heard too much noisy stuff tonight. Distorted drums, screechy synths. I should've taken more hearing breaks.

I'm tuning in a bit late to Death Guild live at the DNA Lounge tonight. Really glad that they're keeping up the practice of broadcasting these live from the club itself. #goth #industrial music played by expert DJs over at:

Unknown track by an unknown artist layered with the acapella of Perfect Stranger by Katy B & Magnetic man, from the Autonomic Podcast Layer 12:

Today I partially disassembled, cleaned, then reassembled an old Pioneer SX-650 receiver I have. It had developed an intermittent power problem; cleaning the power/speaker select switch seems to have fixed it.

Now I can use my old passive studio reference monitors again.
