Reminiscing about the time I had the opportunity to remix one of my favorite bands, late-'70s synthpunk pioneers the Units. Here's my remix of their seminal track “Warm Moving Bodies.”

Happy 7th birthday to my youngest and most mean-spirited son, 2018’s Closed System Blues. You’re a terror but I’m proud of you anyway. 🖤

To the kind folks who recently* ordered merch from my Bandcamp page ( *except not really that recently anymore), I really apologize for the wait. Got sidelined by some moving-target health issues (thankfully not serious and now nearly resolved). Am back in action & intend to get these out this week.

I happened to see the article, I'm just glad he seemed to like it! Played hacky sack with him once in Bologna Italy. I don't do that for just anyone. All hail DJ Scotch Egg. 🤘
Listen to the music we played DJ Scotch Egg in his Invisible Jukebox interview in The Wire 497.

So I joined a band recently. Not chiptune-related, FYI. Synthesizer punk act called Damage. Originally existed from the early ’80s into the ’90s. They’ve reformed, enlisted me, & we’ve got an LP release show 9/18 in Brooklyn @ Main Drag Music. Here’s “It Just Won’t Pass” from a recent Orlando gig.

Bootlicking flag-wavers for authoritarianism want to foster a fundamentally inhumane world. Why? Because they eagerly capitulate to largely made-up fears, and then seek to sublimate their abject cowardice into "action" in the form of bringing harm to others. It's pathetic.

Finally took all my music down from Spotify, or at least all of it that I directly control. As you've heard, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek invested ⅔ of a BILLION dollars into military technology company Helsing SE (of which he is also a chairman) with a focus on AI applications. Yeah, no thanks.

Last Friday (4th of July), I was unshakably depressed by the theme of the holiday, especially in light of the nauseating political developments immediately preceding. ~ 1:30 that afternoon, I decided "fuck this," & credit-carded myself a plane ticket to Stockholm. 3½ hours later, I was on the plane.

Absolute insanity. I feel sick. Nothing is off the table now. Our lives are in the hands of absolutely unhinged, deranged people who suffer from some deeply pathetic, cowardly need to prove something by harming others. Complete detachment from reality.

PSA: nervouShapes is one of the most interesting and unique chipmusic projects out there. Their brand-new EP 無題１ (mudai ichi) is absolutely worth your attention, densely packed with fascinating moments & unexpected turns. I love it.

When I preordered the fantastic new James Kochalka Superstar (@kochalka.bsky.social) album Ghost Walker, I ① did not know I was one of the first 23 to do so, and ② did not expect to be immortalized as a tiny illustrated James Kochalka creature. Depicted in my true form, no less. So effing cool. 🙏
Here's a little treat for the first 23 people who bought my new album Ghost Walker on Bandcamp.

Can confirm. Recovering from this now. Possibly the most excruciating bout of sickness I've had in my life. You do not want to catch this.
Keep on masking, friends. You do NOT want to get the "razor blade throat" Nimbus #COVID variant, which is also whimsically described as "swallowing broken glass". Vaccines are good but they do NOT prevent you from getting COVID; they just make it less awful if you do get it.
The new Nimbus #COVID variant is spreading in California and the rest of the U.S. It appears to be more transmissible than previous variants. Keep on masking!
