I’m happy to announce that @discogsofficial.bsky.social is still unable to fix their fucking email notifications. It’s amazing what you can decide not to do when you’re taking a commission out of every purchase made on your site.

A new thread @discogsofficial.bsky.social because I still didn't miss your e-mail <3 Before you tell me to turn off notifications: I want this particular record, I don't want this particular offer. You keep spamming me about one and the same offer that I'm not interested in.

At this point I'm actually curious for how much longer this is going to go on @discogsofficial.bsky.social Before you tell me to turn off notifications (again): I want this record & be notified abt new deals, I don’t want mail abt one deal I decided isn’t interesting.

I don’t know if you’re going to believe this @discogsofficial.bsky.social but I’m still pretty convinced that I didn’t miss this offer. Before you tell me to turn off notifications (again): I want this record & be notified abt new deals, I don’t want mail abt one deal I decided isn’t interesting.

I’m happy to let you know @discogsofficial.bsky.social that I still haven’t missed your "in case you missed it" email.

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 04/02/2026

The problem is that you keep sending me emails about *the same offer* that I am not interested in, not the release itself. I am interested in the release. I don’t want to be reminded about an offer I don’t care about for a WEEK now. Here it is again three minutes ago:

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 03/02/2026

Thank you for your reply, however, the problem is that I WANT to receive emails when something in my wishlist is available but I DON’T WANT to receive them every single day about the same item and there is no setting to opt out of „in case you missed it”

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 31/01/2026

Tagging you again @discogsofficial.bsky.social just in case you missed it

And I’d really like to thank @chrisavellone.bsky.social, because without his support and guidance when I was starting out in the industry, I wouldn’t have been able to even imagine that working on a game like this was actually possible. You have no idea how much a comment like this meant to me :)

One of the things I like about Dylan — and, for example, Springsteen — is that they’re not afraid to experiment with their sound and song arrangements. I absolutely adore some of the versions of his hits that Dylan played at those Budokan gigs. Another new addition to my vinyl collection :D

My collection of Penderecki on vinyl is growing beautifully. Four new additions today:

Came back home after a few days off in the forest and suddenly felt the urge to listen to some ’80s filth to get my brain back into city mode.

I’m surprised by Dodskold: “Ödesriket.” I had no idea what it was, though the cover art was pretty telling, but it could’ve gone either way in terms of quality. After first listen: it’s really good. It’s like Burzum mixed with that peculiar brand of Swedish melodicism & their majestic depression.

In another episode of supporting the underground — Blood Chalice: “Sepulchral Chants of Self-Destruction.” Very good black metal in the vein of Archgoat, with some war metal tropes here and there.

A collection of Samael’s 7” I ordered months ago finally arrived! I missed the first edition on picture discs ’cause I don’t care for picture discs, but when they announced a new edition on black vinyl, it was a no-brainer :D

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 28/05/2025

Uhh, the first section of this book is an absolute slog — it’s like listening to Captain Holt talk for hours on end about the merits of the famous Dutch flautist Frans Brüggen. Hopefully, it gets better soon.

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 26/05/2025

Falling asleep with this album playing in your headphones is definitely… an experience.

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 17/05/2025

This is a work of pure genius. It's like Tom Waits mixed with Swans, 16 Horsepower, Streetlight Manifesto, Current 93, and plenty of other things. Klezmer music, gypsy punk, dark cabaret, and just a thousand other things thrown into one pot. A magnificent work of art.

I gave my vinyl copy of this to my friend because it wasn't as good as I remembered, and his comment later was spot on: "Yeah, it's essentially just one song played over and over again, and it's a damn good song, but I don't swap sides on the vinyl because it's pointless in this case."

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 17/05/2025

Great Norwegian "gypsy punk" inspired by the movies of Emir Kusturica - addictive melodies, great interpretations of source folk material, and in general a really great record that (which surprised me) stands the test of time.

Part 2 of "I'm revisiting some music lately". I really like this album, or maybe the CONCEPT of this album, but the reliance on distorted high tones and overdriven screeching in this type of music is something I, unfortunately, just can't stand.

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 09/05/2025

Sick album, I’m surprised it took me this long to get it on #vinyl!

030

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 07/05/2025

Now that these two have arrived, my Deathspell Omega #vinyl collection is pretty much complete. The last things I need are the splits (with Moonblood and with Clandestine Blaze) and first pressings of their early material.

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 03/05/2025

Both of these albums are very good, and there's nothing I can say is exactly wrong with what Amon Tobin does here, but, ugh, they're just TOO LONG. If only he had cut some bloat, they'd be great. Nothing on them justifies 70-80 minute runtimes.

020

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 03/05/2025

Yes, this is a great album, and even though I'm probably around the mid-point of revisiting their discography, it'll probably remain my favorite thing they've ever done.

220

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 03/05/2025

This is more dark cabaret/singer-songwriter than neofolk-whatever, but it still has some of the best songs they've ever recorded - you'll be singing "Disaffection" and "Vladimir Central" for weeks. Also, when they performed this in Krakow, it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

Berlin @berlinizm.substack.com · 26/04/2025

This is okay, maybe even good, but mostly because this type of industrial-ish metal tends to be better than usual when it's made by someone with a background in electronic music rather than by metalheads. Metalheads tend to be quite bad at bleep-blop music.

Jazz for people who don't really like jazz but can kind of vibe to it when it's slow and a bit boring.

I can't stand this either. I've tried several times, and I just get angry after a couple of minutes of listening to this album.

Happy music is so damn irritating. I can't stand this.
