I hear some people have been critical about casting in ‘Tron Guy: Arise’ but I wouldn’t know about that.

Well that’s how I read it too, the moment I saw an advertisement for it, on the side of a bus, Tron: Arse.

As for whether it’s any good or not: I don’t know or, frankly, care.

Father Jack looking forward to ‘Tron: Arse’.

Emails have been sent to users in batches, over months.

“For years, we’ve heard feedback from our community…”

Sure. 😒

Setting up a Stripe a/c will be impossible for some, and daunting for very many. Does Bandcamp’s mgmt. want to clear away small accounts, or just not understand their world? 🤔

Phantom Circuit #453

Trem 77 in a session inspired by sandpainting, plus click songs, space children and sounds inspired by silence, in music by @rongeesin.bsky.social, Lilith Anthropocene, @coporrobi.bsky.social (via @ivopetrov.bsky.social), Axophobe, Get-Effect, Kamiya, Tomita and many more.

Phantom Circuit #453: featuring a session by Trem 77

A sabulous and fabulous session by Trem 77 that links the impermanence of sandpainting with shifting, textural soundscapes (or should we say “sandscapes”?)… plus click songs, space children and sounds...

That was a good post, but you spoilt it by posting it. 😜

Yes, perhaps even “decision fatigue” re choice of platform. Many prefer to let Meta, Google & other big players take care of everything. New options require time & effort. There is also the widespread issue of learned helplessness. The commodification of IT. “No wish to learn? No problem. For us.” 😈

AI would be more efficient. Or a simple shell script.

It has seemed for a long time that relatively few musicians and music-related ventures (and yes, other people/projects too) have made an effort to participate. The mindset of many is that only an instant return makes anything worthwhile, and not enough of that old pioneer spirit!

And is that all our society/culture is about now? “Productive industries"? Is artistic activity not productive, not of any worth?

(I’m not going to waste time reading the news item and this is just my micro-rant on the overall cultural theme. 😉)

Is that the same performing arts which is one of the UK's most productive industries?

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

they keep thinking that this is literally just twitter 2, that other models are impossible and that somehow because here there's less people they have some huge bargaining power just by existing

the sad reality of 2025 is that a large swath of folks have been driven to believe the only value they may have to offer to the internet is to be the product of a company. that needs to change.

even folks who say they don’t want to be the product cannot fathom not being the product…

The latest edition of Phantom Circuit starts by revisiting ‘Drifted Vol. 3’ by Wahn, so it’s good to hear that Vol. 4 will be out soon.

I don’t know why, but Wahn’s account is hard to find via Bluesky’s search box but there it is! @wahn.bsky.social
