Recent Finds
i've learned about a lot of deep cuts on the the strut, so i'm really going to miss the finds (and the thraeds extolling and expounding on teh raers). here's a few recent pickups from a trip to lyon, various thrifts around ontario and the mailbox.
case in point - thx Jimster for writing about the Ogerman!
top three are the private mindgarden legendary 1994 run of Luke Vibert as Wagon Christ, just before it all came together on his debut album. once he moved that project off Rising High, it was never the same... much less weird.
Reset remains endlessly listenable. if you're into 60s vocal groups, the album will melt into your subconscious around those bits, which makes sense since Pete Kember got inspired by the intros of his favs (via Pitckfjork):Initiated during the doldrums of 2020, Reset found its genesis when Kember noticed that the intros of certain songs seemed to have “a lot of juice to them,” as Lennox puts it. What would happen, Kember wondered, if they drew out that energy to the length of a song, using skeletal, one- or two-chord loops as the foundation? “He’d send me the loops, then I would send back the blueprint of the song,” Lennox says.
“It was deep dreaming, really,” Kember adds, citing the neural network that draws surreal, fractal-like patterns out of digital images, like X-rays of some hidden essence. “If you heard the original loop with just the vocal, it had most of the powers already. Right from the start, you could tell that something was happening.
you can't really read the text, but the lower row is a copy of Teh Harder They Come, a friend's latest release and John Beltran on Text.

Luke Records (album/mp3-R)
dj_cityboy said:I am looking for HomeTeam - Via Satellite from Saturn and PoisonClan - 2 Low Life Muthas, seems like a long shot that someone has these but i figured i’d ask cause you just never know. I am also looking for a copy of “Rock on Crew” - Deal With This(early 2 live crew shit)
if anyone has either of these mp3’d i would be beyond appreciative.
these are all on soulseek. check your pms in a few.
poison clan are underappreciated. this was always the b-side to "good day" for me

Electionstrut 2024
i thought about it mainly in terms of class. the cost of living has made it really hard for working class people since the pandemic. something has got to give. harris was all about helping the middle class (bastions of the status quo they are when it comes to the economy). poor people and many low wage workers are not turning out for that in 2024. they seemed more interested in wooing centre-right folks, so they didn't come out strong on sure wins for turnout (like, from leftists) like abortion rights or gaza ceasefire.
meanwhile, trump's base all came out. whatever else motivated those voters, he promised radical change (tarrifs) that will bring back manufacturing jobs, so i'm sure many ppl held their nose and voted for him. at least it was something radical! and now americans get to experience that radical change, brought to you by the (new) Status Quo. sure to be less fair than the previous one.
i also think national elections (everywhere?) in this social media age are being, uh, globalized like everything else. everyone must be f'ing with everyone else's elections! so we're all just suckers to the game in new and exciting ways. stuff like this:
