T.Power / Bionic Chronic

From his 1996 album "Waveform".

I was mixing some drum & bass tonight, playing around, and came up against the weird time signature in this track. I count the first phrase as 6 and the second as 7; I guess that makes it 13 over 4? Something like that. #nowplaying

CW: MH, Winter

I'm having a slow, uninspired, unproductive month. I feel sluggish. Maybe it's the winter weather (and light level).

Trying my best to not beat myself up about it. Do a bunch of small things to keep myself moving. Wait it out.

I've been listening to the "Discord & Rhyme" album review podcast today. Their episode on Eno's "Here Come The Warm Jets" is great:

Breaks, electro, IDM. ~130. Features tracks by ADJ, Automat, Darren Rhys, Oushe, Silicon Scally, and Vaperror. Just riffing, free association, you know.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio starts in 30 minutes. It's live every Friday at 06:00 UTC (that's 10:00PM west coast USA).

I've got some weird ~128 BPM breaks and electro lined up tonight. I'll be featuring tracks by ADJ, Automat, Darren Rhys, Oushe, and Silicon Scally.

I bought a USB gamepad the other day, and then spent hours trying to get mednafen to see it.

It turns out that mednafen looks for linux evdev joysticks if it finds linux/joystick.h at compile time. I'm on FreeBSD, so I need it to use SDL2 for joystick support. A dependency of qt5-gui installs joystick.h, causing the problem.

The workaround was to edit src/drivers/Joystick.cpp around line 178 and force it to use SDL2. I should write a patch and submit it to the mednafen port maintainer.

A pretty good set of mostly 2010s ~135 BPM electro. Features tracks by Cygnus, Drexciya, Gosub, Microlith, Morphology, Shann-X, and T.E.S.T. . Was fun but a little messy.

Movement Through Thought on #aNONradio is live in 30 minutes. My show airs every Friday from 06:00 to 07:00 UTC (That's 10:00 PM Pacific Time).

Fast space-y electro tonight. I'll be featuring tracks by Cygnus, Drexciya, Microlith, Plant43, and The Martian.

I've been distributing recorded mixes for almost three years now. It's way past time I wrote something like the old Blogariddims decksclaimer: http://www.weareie.com/2006/05/decksclaimer.html

The trouble is, I'm a terrible writer. And I feel like if I address the subject at all it will invite negative attention.

Still writing the post, though, because it feels like the right thing to do.

Happy New Year from the west coast of the USA. (Three hours late).

I slept through midnight so I missed all the ball drops and fireworks and hijinks.

And now I realize that sounds like an advertisement. I guess it is, in a way. Unpaid advertising, I swear.

CPU Records has a 40% off sale on their bandcamp page now thru January 10th. Use discount code "getsorted".

I just picked up 10 releases from them. Nearly wiped out my bank account in the process. I've wanted to get into their catalog for a while, but I couldn't afford it. 96 Back, Microlith, Mikron, Silicon scally, so much good music. #electro

Tracklist for MTT 148 / Backwards & Forwards: https://djcev.com/2019/12/27/mtt-148-backwards-forwards/

and at #aNONradio : https://anonradio.net/mtt-148-backwards-forwards/

A bonus mod music show. Slower than 147; longer tracks. Artists featured include Basehead, Darkhalo, Necros, Norfair, Radix, and RS3.

It feels right to end 2019 this way.

I've discovered that I can't listen to podcasts, and people talking in general, while trying to write.

I can listen to people talk while working with music. But not while writing words.

Hmm. Now that I've typed that out, it seems obvious.
