And now for something somewhat different: I recently wrote a piece in the style of a Bach chorale, but based on the biblical love poem 'Song Of Songs' rather than a traditional religious text. Here's a recording of the string quartet version: youtu.be/Vr7YXNRTYUE

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

An independent federal agency that just happens to have played a large role in ending apartheid in South Africa. Shuttering USAID will cause more deaths than Israel has in Gaza by an order of magnitude. Maybe even two. This is what refusing to vote for "the lesser evil" looks like.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The extra we pay for in the form of across the board tariffs on everything imported goes straight to the US treasury. Where it gets funneled to billionaires in the form of tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent. Meanwhile, taxes on the middle class will increase.

Saturday night. Programmed in the “Bodies Of Water” drum beat (or an 8-bar version of it). Have been rehearsing this song with a couple friends as a string trio (violin, cello, contrabass), and this will maybe be a little groovier than the metronome 😆

Bandcamp transaction fees got you down? Just realize that your 10% "discounted" rate jumped back up to 15% + PayPal? Ampwall's transaction fee is 5% + PayPal on merch and digital sales. Buyers usually cover Ampwall's 5% for you. Everyone selling makes more money. (Except us. We make less. 🤷)

The second video from my record FOREST FIRES is up now, this one for the title track. I created this animation in Adobe Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Animate, and After Effects, with a lil help from some fire templates. It took hours & hours but I rather like what I ended up with: youtu.be/faT0ADqJk7o

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search" This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!! www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.

The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

My stats are in for Apple Music Replay (AM's year-end summary for artists). While I wish they had a larger market share (Spotify had over 10x the streams), I can't complain about 666 minutes played 🤘

Remember that record profiteers Spotify told most of their artists they weren't going to pay them (no $ for songs less than 1000 streams/yr). So small artists have to grovel for them to try to claw their way to 1k. Break the monopoly, there are lots of choices, it'll be better for artists AND users
