A musical instrument should always be a contraption. If it’s not a contraption, it’s probably not suitable for music making.

No. You may have seen an erroneous email from Grux, but he then sent another with the correct (original) dates.

JOHN LENNON — born 86yrs ago today — interviewed in 1968: “Our society is run by insane people… I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends." He was right then. He’s right now.

Pretty depressing watching Pauline Oliveros' "Deep Listening" term get pushed into A.I. slop world and now the bios from everything to DJs to listening cafes to basically anything remotely related to sound or music gets the term "deep listening" thrown in. Sigh.

"|A formally audacious act of reclamation, Aanikoobijigan, by acclaimed Ojibwe artist-filmmakers Adam and Zack Khalil—directors of the landmark INAATE/SE (2016) and core contributors to the public-secret society New Red Order—is both a searing indictment of institutions holding Indigenous Ancestors

Good Experimental Music: September 2026

This time around we have turntables made of stone, scores from installations, drones that are unafraid to be dramatic, and horns playing with themselves.

I’ve never really been able to enjoy stand-up comedy and I think part of problem is that it looks like music. But where music can express ideas very abstractly and ambiguously, stand-up just explains them literally using words and in that sense it just kind of feels like lazy music.

Prised possession in the collection.. Kick That Habit LP wrapped in a large screened poster Discovering Voice crack in the late 90s was (not the only, but) a huge revelation. So glad my first viewing of the film was on the big screen with equally big speakers

Black LP cover in a plastic sleeve (sorry about the glare) should clarify - LP cover white paper entirely screened in black ink except for two white line drawn figures from the back, knees bent, arms raised as if holding up the edge of the paper.. yellow diagonal line cutting between them, the inner sleeve peeking through

One side of the cover poster unfolded, yellow inner sleeve showing, printed with black text

Back cover, center of the poster, a white figure somewhat curled in a fetal position, perhaps falling or floating or maybe rolling on the floor

The deep truth of contemporary reactionary politics is that, though they mouth dismissal of postmodernism, feminism, CRT, & intersectionality, they actually believe in all of it but simply want to liberate their exercise of the relevant forms of arbitrary power from any iota of guilt.

You don’t need to use AI if you know how to listen to music. Everything that AI can do, and more, can be accomplished faster, cheaper and more effectively via music listening. If you don’t know how to listen to music correctly, I understand that using AI might seem tempting, but that’s a false path.

That still sounds like Sartre was (and of course he was) deeply embedded in a western European way of understanding social relations, and that it would be a mistake to think his cultural-psychological theories would necessarily apply to other cultural groups.

This whole frame of "bad faith" seems to depend on a presumption of a cultural notion of individualism that does (or "should") take precedence over social relationships.
