It's Gangsta Rap day on CEEFAUX!

Day 19 and yet another turf ware has been trigged when Rob helps himself to Phillip's yoghurt. The subsequent drive by in the lounge results in the death of three more housemates, whilst the survivors plan both a revenge attack and a tribute rap single that's clearly just them talking over a sample from a 1980's pop hit.

Also to be fair I can totally see your vision as well. As if that’s any help!

Oh yeah totally! I think unlived lives are such a huge thing that never gets talked about. Like imaginary numbers in mandelbrot equations - once you realise they're there, so much can be explained. I have many unlived lives although I'm fortunate they're mostly terminated rather than never started.

haha yeah - maybe also it's actually Grandad rock - and for many of us that grandad is no longer around so there's that too

Maybe I'm not the only one. They peaked at being so huge and troughed at being so uncool that it was below the threshold of later redemption. But that redemption is absolutely deserved.

Yeah it's weird how invisible DS are these days. Still have 23m listeners on spotify but I never hear them talked about or referenced in any canon. Knopfler is such a standout talent. I also have a weird relationship with DS as they were the last thing I was into before I found 'cool' music.

Also, working on Finalist 2 while I do this so very tuned into tonal and dynamic balance and timbre. One thing that HAS changed is back then we were avoiding harmonic distortion like the plague. Now we're chasing it like a hot date.

Been going down the Khruangbin et al rabbithole the last few days - great autumn music. Got a bit of Dire Straits Communique deja vu, stuck it on and wow there's so much in common. Weird how packaging & context does as much to make things 'modern' as the substance.

I really wish we could start seeing this for what is helpful - a pathology to be cured / mitigated / guarded against. Not what is unhelpful - as something to be avenged. Much as the woke mind virus narrative boils my piss, mind viruses as a concept is on to something.

I think this is the first instance of me seeing an elapsed musical time period and thinking oh that short? Feels like a really different era.

Ha! I’ve been listening to a new drone synth I’m building in karst just do its thing for a while. There’s something beautifully artisanal to rolling your own music to work to.

This is coming! I wanted to get it out with this release but it’s actually a huge job so hasn’t made it in. Next one will have full docs and tool tips as well.

Ah yes this is an encoded vs unencoded thing. Scapeshift isn’t encoded. Razor is. Do you have a full realtor license? If so, it should open fine unless you’re running into Tahoe specific issues
