A track from the forthcoming collab with Rutger Zuydervelt is amongst some greats in the latest ‘Between Two Points’ over at @dublab.bsky.social. Strap on those headphones and escape this current madness for a while. Thanks, Richard!

This man is entirely fecal. There is nothing about him or his works that isn't utterly shit. And we elected him to lead our nation twice.

14 years ago our collaboration with Christoph Heemann was released on Handmade Birds — a beautiful 180 gram gatefold LP, CD, and download. We still have a few CDs, and an endless supply of downloads available at the Locrian Bandcamp page / website. locrian.bandcamp.com/album/locria...

It was an MLM convention. Anyone whose Dad ever sold Amway knows what this was. The downlines have tapped out their networks and are dropping off, garages full of product they can’t move and broken homes waiting for them when they get back.

“We’ve found that whenever we buy a bit of gear we try and lay off it for six months, until we’ve got used to using it. It’s only then that we start doing things that are actually worth using; if we start using something immediately, we just do the corniest stuff with it.”

The iconic Warp Records’ duo spoke to us back in 1994, and shared their attitude when it came to getting to grips with the initial gear they relied on to concoct their influential body of work

Still thinking about the Luddites I came across this. How fascinating it is to watch what might be the germ of a neo-Luddite movement around surveillance technology. And a guy writing a nudge-wink, fuck-the-man, banger of a country song makes me feel American in a way that for once isn’t pejorative.
