Spent my Sunday morning making a Fairlight style vocal patch in Pigments, because apparently I hate myself. It actually turned out quite well.

I’m doing themed Letterboxd favourites, starting with slashers where the killer wears a motorcycle helmet. I’m back on a giallo tip and watched Strip Nude this week. Easily the sleaziest giallo I’ve seen. There is bush within the first ten seconds.
Screenshot of jnicol’s letterboxd profile favourites list. Each film’s cover had a serial killer who wears a black motorcycle helmet: Nightmare Beach, Strip Nude for your Killer, What Have They Dome to Your Daughters?, Nail Gun Massacre.

Drill down into this thread and check out the early versions of Take on Me. The very first version sounds like ‘60s garage rock, and Morten Harket’s initial stab at the song is completely bonkers.

FINALLY finished patch design for my next soundset. This one is a collaboration with a musician, who is making a percussion sample pack to accompany the soundbank. Expect EBM, darkwave, and dark electronic sounds on this one. Stay tuned.

I roll my eyes when someone (usually a right wing agitator) spouts off about schools and doctors “turning kids trans”. My daughter came out when she was 13. It was 3 years of GP, psychologist and paediatrician appointments before she was allowed to go on hormones. No one is rushing into this.

When did YouTube on iOS start supporting picture-in-picture outside of the US? So nice of Google to support a feature that’s been in iOS since 2020. I shouldn’t grumble. It’s nice to be able to listen to music on YouTube and do something else at the same time, instead of staring at a static video.

Not that I gave a crap about the charts, but it’s good to know that the average listener will be somewhat insulated from slop. This comes after an AI song topped the charts here in Australia.

The director’s note in the program for my daughter’s school production of Popstars: The ‘90s Musical. So heartfelt!
Photograph of the director’s note for a school musical. The text is AI generated, and the director has inadvertently copy-and-pasted the AI’s follow up commentary, which begins: “This version has a more heartfelt tone while still celebrating the fun of a ‘90s musical.”

Nice. one Of the interesting things the data shows is that a high percentage of people who buy CDs don’t owner a CD player. They’re buying CDs as a collectible, or a way to financially support artists.

My friend Richard Lewer won this year's Archibald Prize. It's the only Australian art prize that the general public knows about, and predictably brings the kooks out the woodwork to bemoan the state of the arts. Richie's been a finalist six times, it's a very well deserved win.
