Opius returns to Pinecone Moonshine with four dnb selections for his second solo EP on the label. When Opius contributes to Pinecone Moonshine, it leans heavily into drumfunk: pineconemoonshine.bandcamp.com/album/pcms-2...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

1. I have fully read and reported on the SCOTUS anti-trans BPJ ruling today. The decision is very bad, though not as bad as the worst case scenarios. It will still likely lead to mass discrimination in both red and blue states against trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Off the latest dnb album by Paluca youtu.be/Pj19KFei0Qo?... Familiar instruments treated in the same way Paluca turns field recordings into atmosphere; a violin pluck can dissolve into echoes, piano fluttering from an impossible score, trumpet reverberates through a medium that doesn't exist.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

In 2021, I started writing short notes for each book I finished. Yesterday instead of taking care of todos I thought it would be more fun to plot a histogram based on those books publication dates.

How I'll district myself today... try and wrap my head around remixing a 120 bpm drum solo full of 8th notes into 170 bpm dnb without ruining the vibe and timbre. Then I'll return to reality. Ok time to get into it...
