Musicians! To celebrate my 13th year(!) as a full-time mastering engineer I threw together this playlist of some of the stuff I've mastered. Here's to the next 13 years - I'm way cheaper than Abbey Road but better at mastering. Hit me up

This sounds like the kind of thing you could get France to pass legislation on if you dedicate your life to it

I'm well aware, of course; what a great thing to give away (though I prefer to tackle stuff like this with brute force and ignorance).

Not sure it's really worth the payoff (to be honest)

Tom Woodhead @tomwoodhead.bsky.social · 2d

Have slowed my writing down approx 50% by introducing a character who nests all of his thoughts in ever-more-ridiculous strings of labyrinthine parentheses

You might struggle to understand some of the more labyrinthine passages if you're not caught up on the lore

They should have given it to Bootlegger imo

In an unprecidented moment of Lit Bro synchronicity, just as László Krasznahorkai was receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature I simultaneously took delivery of my copy of Schattenfroh (dressed like a man who is ready to FUCK)

Yeah, just total commitment to the bit

(Not that I'm an expert on him or anything, I've only read that book (though I own a couple more).)

Tom Woodhead @tomwoodhead.bsky.social · 3d

I will say, the ending of The Melancholy of Resistance is one of the most extraordinary things I've ever read. You really need to gear up for Krasznahorkai, though; you can't read a few pages at a time.

That will make it funnier tbh, as with Truss. Less so Johnson because he mostly succeeded on his own terms

The amount of hair I have on the top of my head (i.e almost none) has reached truly insane proportions. I think I might be the baldest man alive

Tom Woodhead @tomwoodhead.bsky.social · 4d

Genuinely pathetic to get excited and look at tracking updates for a fucking lamp

Tom Woodhead @tomwoodhead.bsky.social · 5d

Anyone got a SAD lamp they'd recommend? Ideally one that's dimmable and can change colour temperature for the evening (but nothing that needs an app to control it)

Tom Woodhead @tomwoodhead.bsky.social · 4d

I always wonder if they fuck other organisations around as much as they fuck sole traders around, or if they have some kind of agreement to only do it to the little guys

Funny how the organisations with loads of money always seem to have trouble paying invoices and individuals with very little money just... pay them

American politicians shouldn't be named after trading card games imo

I'm not going to hand it to MTG for a post where the most important thing for her is to stress how much she hates "illegals"

They’d string you up by a tree if you tried to tell your ’jokes’ in Gaul, I’ll tell you that much

Tom Woodhead @tomwoodhead.bsky.social · 5d

Wakefield Waterstones only had one copy of Shadow Ticket (now they have none). Very upsetting

Tom Woodhead @tomwoodhead.bsky.social · 5d

Do you have a favourite performance so far?
