Terrific release today from American indie rock artist Negative Sleep. This is the kind of album that washes over you. Beautifully crafted songs, wonderfully warm acoustic and electric tones. Honest, human-made music, and it's marvelous. #AlbumRelease #NewMusic #NowPlaying @tmchambers.bsky.social

Written a couple of new songs in the last few days and thought I'd have a go at lyrics for another at this late hour but the best my snot congested brain could muster was rhyming "Lee Mavers" with "packet of Quavers" so I'm calling it a night
Don't think it's anything to do with mental health but everything to do with complete fucking scumbag losers dehumanising women to the extent that they want them to be vacant simulations of sterile, airbrushed "feminity" bereft of all human traits, rights, opinions, boundaries & agency

#HomeMadeMusic #MusicianSky #MusicSky Another 1990s track, a fragment from a 'cyberpunk'-inspired song-cycle. Regarding this week's theme, the "high" is probably described in the chorus. m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Afv...

Exactly what kind of 'high' is entirely up to you. All I ask is that you add #HomeMadeMusic and quote this post with it. #musicsky #musiciansky
This probably comes closest. Sermon on the Rocks by Parachute. It has a woozy jazz woodbine vibe. #HomeMadeMusic soundcloud.com/thefamilyjul...

Happy Saturday, songsmiths! My submission for this week’s theme is a short song called "Bird." It’s meant to capture a feeling of being free and content - a high of sorts, I suppose. #HomeMadeMusic #musicsky

For #HomeMadeMusic on the theme of "best enjoyed on a high", this is a song that about the ecstasy of falling in love. And the manly sport of darts. @grantmcgaheran.bsky.social and I also for some reason performed a tag team rap in bad fake Dutch accents: rizladeutsch.bandcamp.com/track/maximu...

#HomeMadeMusic Us and the Enigma Recorded this with my dear friend Brian some years ago. About a year later he made this mix of it, which he first played to me, on headphones, in his old flat in Berlin. I'd recommend hitting the bong/downing a v strong espresso at the 2:00 minute mark… #musicsky

I have one of those autumn colds where all of the liquid in the solar system has found a tributary into my sinuses.
everybody surprised that universities would trumpet their award season connection to a professor they essentially fired really didn't take the lesson from the decades of them trading on radical traditions of protest they tried like hell to crush at the time & have all but succeeded in crushing today
I am always being tricked in this manner. For example the "prize" I win for a socially successful interaction is more interactions, and - worse - the person may even like me, and then have further expectations from our relationship.

Last RT: I know someone who asked a mate to provide a blurb for his novel, and instead of reading it the mate fed the whole book into ChatGPT and got that to blurb it instead. I had to be very gentle as I explained that meant his book was now in the cloud, his life's work stolen by a alleged friend
To anyone who's interested, today I released my final album under the "Negative Sleep" moniker. No streaming services-- it's only on Bandcamp at the moment. For those who enjoy little talent + big sadness 👍 #NewMusic #AlbumReleaseDay #Bandcamp negativesleep.bandcamp.com

not going to put the person on blast, but a) it is simple and correct to completely dismiss the idea that LLMs could be ‘conscious’ b) to take it at all seriously is to collaborate with marketing hype c) to use the example of ‘Black slaves’ in your apologia is frankly extremely offensive
i'm interested how the tech hype spiral progresses from feasible but too-soon promises, to unfeasible sci-fi nonsense, to 'you know what, fuck it, we're gonna cause a doomsday event and kill everyone' like that last step seems counterproductive, but maybe it's the only way to keep turning the dial
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2d agoI keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'
This track is one of those pieces of music I found while combing through my cassette archive. No memory of actually recording it or what keyboard was used but the quiet, disembodied quality felt very Stolen Flowers Of The Dead: www.youtube.com/watch?v=81TI... #DIYmusic #LofiAmbient

I just refunded two clients because working with them was taking a toll on my sanity. I’m trying to raise $300 to offset it so that I can buy groceries & pay my phone bill. If I can get 60 subscribers @ the $5 tier, I can make it happen. My next song, “Hire Brian,” will be posted soon! 🎶❤️ #HelpSky

I’ve revived my dormant Patreon to offset the $ I was (barely) making as a freelancer, and to hold myself accountable. For $5+ a month, you can have every song I make! ❤️
Wes Streeting "completely wrong" says professor he hired to do review Is an accurate headline the BBC could have run
Mark Grimshaw@markgrimshawtism.bsky.social · 3d agoA fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.
My core metric is that Vampire On Titus is a far better album than any of those pricks on Reddit have ever made or will ever make. It’s also sold more, for whatever the fuck that’s worth. They can wind their necks in.
This bullshit is always coming out of the mouths of people whose economic policies and bigotry have a devastating effect on actual culture.
Ben Ansell@benansell.bsky.social · 2d ago‘Culturally British by my standards’ is one of the most chilling phrases uttered in British politics. Entirely unsurprising to me who it’s from.
I know arguing with people on reddit is a causal loop of pointlessness but I called this guy out on his bullshit anyway and his responses were exactly as shallow and conceited as you'd expect. He implied I was lazy and had never put any time or effort into making music...
