Unaffiliated Music Thing

Looks like another fine day...
...shit..!!

**BREAKING UK ELECTION NEWS**
Rumour has it that, every time Rishi Sunak opens his mouth to speak… somewhere a young Childs new puppy dies... and that puppy will no longer have the chance to grow up loved in the idyllic world of Enid Blyton

The #tories... looking after nobody you know..!

Politicians just like being in the news... for literally anything at all...
...then using their go to 'shell' to cry about it when it backfires.

I'm sick of them all..!!

If #Trump goes to jail... will we get a proper mugshot this time... you know, the one with no makeup and the number and everything..?

I'm currently working under the pseudonym of Kapok Itch...
...I so wish I had used the pseudonym Appellant Trump instead.

June 3rd will be a significant day for me...
... you shouldn't be surprised if I piss you off on that date and we never talk again.

**BREEAKING UK ELECTION NEWS**
Rumour has it that, should the Conservatives win the election, Slow worms will be given the legal right to identify as snakes.

The #tories... looking after nobody you know..!

When I was younger, #music use to excite me rather more than it does now...
...now I listen to it, dismantle it in my head and criticise the lack of instrument separation.

That's fair and not argumentative; discursive, perhaps
Genesis and Floyd started from a good place. I just think Floyd held off 'pop' longer than Genesis did.
For me...
Best Floyd? Relics (side A)
Best Genesis? Selling England...

On your last Floyd album comment? Agreed 2 dimensional ambient shit

Hmm... modern pop Pink Floyd..?
Outside of Another Brick in the Wall, they hardly charted well. Some of their songs were picked up but post-Gabriel Genesis basically wrote to chart, and whilst there's nothing wrong with that, I just don't think Floyd were as 'chart'
That's what I mean by modern-pop.

I generally follow musicians, I suppose.
It's an odd online community.

I don't follow enough people or have enough followers to know but, it generally strikes me as less conversational and massive;ly promotional.. within which the so called 'famous' pretty much ghost all posts on here just to pop up on Bandcamp Friday.
I still prefer Mastodon.

Be careful of Bluesky 'private' messages anyway... they are not private. Sure, they don't appear on a public feed but they are data-scrapable by Bluesky and, as such, are attritutable.

They should be treated more like Mastodon messages.

A hole in my life has been filled..!

Rumour has it that, should the Conservatives win the election, British pigs are to be trained as bus drivers and music festival security.

The #tories... looking after nobody you know..!

They both managed to lose their best member, as far as I can see but yes, I agree... as long as it's not the 'modern-pop-Collins' Genesis.

One of my current music projects, Frind will be putting some music out soon.
It's the one that employed six-sided dice to create compositions and oddly, as time consuming as they were, those compositions were never intended to be part of the album.

**BREAKING NEWS**
Should they win the election, it's rumoured that UK #Tories have pledged to ban Turkey farming in favour of a significant investment in the breeding of the 'large headless chicken'..!

Just a qualifying note.
Any reference to One Blind Mouse after November 2022 on #Twitter is nothing to do with me.

I still know people who can't go on there for fear of being attacked and will not endorse it.

I mean, it's not like the #tories have given us nothing in the last 14 years, is it...
...most towns now, have a dedicated social space permanently converted into a food bank.

Give them a break...
...any limb does... your choice.

I just listened to an album I put out in 2022 and rather enjoyed it... how vain is that..?

But... how many people can make the claim that they wrote a track about an angel falling from heaven and fucking an earthly whore... eh..?!

Best feedback on it... "pretentious and self-indulgent."

On it.
Thank you.

I'm doing my online #groicery shop...
...someone suggest something I should buy that I probably ordinarily don't...
Thank you

I've just had tp set my WhatsApp setting for being added to groups as 'Contacts only except' and the exceptions are everyone in my contacts.
People should stop doing this... seriously,,, my phone number is a private thing..!!

Until we find a way to send a #music experience directly to your brain... it all ends up analogue at the user.

Just wait until AI 'learning' gets a hold of that one.

Right...
I dislike ambient music that involves little more than someone scrolling patches on whatever it is they're using and settling for it..!! In fact... I dislike anything at all that involves scrolling patches and settling for it..!!
#ShootMe

If you know anyone with a set of Apple AirPods Pro (1st gen) with a broken right one..? I can help them out.

Or maybe someone with one ear..?

What is it they say..? "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."
I'm not convinced that's working for anyone now...

We have a #DroneDay..?
Are there any things that don't now have a fucking day now..?!

For those who wonder why I use a lot of clicks, pops and sine waves in my music... blame this genius..!

I didn't know I could do that. I'll have a look. Cheers.

Apparently, #DonaldTrump has been falling asleep and farting whilst in court...
...surely, there are some basic levels off human dignity that even that mindless fuck should be spared..?

You could try telling them that you're dead.

Yeah but I'm doing it with aplomb.

It is a joke but, like you, I feel I should at least be trying to do something.
Let's face it, Meta are only offering this so they can mitigate against their next fine for breaching privacy and the fine that's probably coming for amalgamating creative output into a spreadsheet for their marketing.

I'm working one a track that has the worst guitar playing I've ever heard, has no internal musical coherence and is harmonically challenging.

I tried to opt out using my Facebook account and all is fine but despite many efforts, they simply don't send the required code to complete it... I figured as much.

One feature I'd like to see @bsky.app introduce is that if someone reposts their own post, the post they are reposting and reposts of reposts are removed from my feed... because, quite frankly..?

I'm sick of fucking looking at it..!

Good luck and all that but.,.. seriously..?!

I have a postal vote... where I live, my preferred vote really makes no difference as it's between two parties I don't care for...
...so, like any mature person who takes their responsibility seriously... I'll be drawing a penis on my ballot..!
#UKGE

I'm not blocking DMs...
...I'm just suggesting that, should you feel the need to send me one, FUCKING DON'T..!

#RishiSunak election speech translated:
"Here I am in the rain, trying to tell you all that I love you..."

Oh great...
...we have 'Chat'
That's not going to be fucking annoying at all, is it.

UK general election..?
Cool... Bring on the spin and lies then..!!

And let's be honest here... Labour's main hope is also that the UK is still so inherently and egregiously racist against their current PM..!

I just made a #drone that, I think, might move furniture..!!

Music production tip of the day:
Analogue clipping is far more forgiving than digital clipping.

So... digital people... use your 'pre' in the signal path so that you're working close to fader unity (and match)... some people can actually hear that shit and it's fucking horrible..!!

Social media for #IndependentMusicians update:
The same people doing the same thing for the same people doing the same thing...
...and now with additional audio cassettes.

The extra tracks on the Radiohead OK Computer OKNOTOK album are not as good as I remember them.
