every review appears to be based on ishtar's human suffering scale 😹 i'm seeing it Friday night

and I'm not even American! Canada is awful for it as well.

not to mention you have to recalculate every paycheque as there are functionally no penalties for wage theft which has happened at every job I've ever worked (including corporate salaried positions)

have two copies of the original on CD - one hasn't left my car since I bought it and the other is security that I won't be stuck without a working copy 😹

where the crunchies go, so goes america - though if you're staying in a place referred to as a "hotel zone" history won't be kind to you

it could happen today 😻 there's new stuff every day though - the greatest song i've ever heard probably hasn't even been made yet and that's exciting

ocean of sound by david toop is a great book on the relationship between music, people, and the places it is performed and listened to. really enjoyed the section on the dead end literalism of italian futurists contrasted with stravinsky and varese

i am drawn to breaking minor things when i need to feel real - creating causal impact without bringing in my own hangups about creative pursuits

CUUUUUUUBE (2: Hypercube)

hell yeah

big shout-outs to "Andy" who had place an "Andy's Pick" sticker on every record i bought - man knows dusty-record-guy-prog
