And now for something somewhat different: I recently wrote a piece in the style of a Bach chorale, but based on the biblical love poem 'Song Of Songs' rather than a traditional religious text. Here's a recording of the string quartet version: youtu.be/Vr7YXNRTYUE

Private Cathedral & Lalitree Darnielle
Private Cathedral are a transatlantic art-pop band dreamed up by multi-instrumentalists Wendy Spitzer and Genevieve Dawson. From North Carolina (USA) and Scotland, respectively, Wendy and Genevieve draw on baroque pop, art-rock, and chamber music to produce a sound that's at once borderless and unbothered by convention. Their debut offering was recorded by engineer Missy Thangs at Mitch Easter's Fidelitorium, a legendary NC studio. The self-titled album is joyful, fierce, symbolically dense, ...

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.
An independent federal agency that just happens to have played a large role in ending apartheid in South Africa. Shuttering USAID will cause more deaths than Israel has in Gaza by an order of magnitude. Maybe even two. This is what refusing to vote for "the lesser evil" looks like.
Musk claims the authority to personally destroy an independent federal agency.
The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover
Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The extra we pay for in the form of across the board tariffs on everything imported goes straight to the US treasury. Where it gets funneled to billionaires in the form of tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent. Meanwhile, taxes on the middle class will increase.
Saturday night. Programmed in the “Bodies Of Water” drum beat (or an 8-bar version of it). Have been rehearsing this song with a couple friends as a string trio (violin, cello, contrabass), and this will maybe be a little groovier than the metronome 😆
Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.

Bandcamp transaction fees got you down? Just realize that your 10% "discounted" rate jumped back up to 15% + PayPal? Ampwall's transaction fee is 5% + PayPal on merch and digital sales. Buyers usually cover Ampwall's 5% for you. Everyone selling makes more money. (Except us. We make less. 🤷)

@bennjordan.bsky.social Hey Ben, I feel the biggest barrier to getting people to move from Spotify to other streamers is that there isn't an app that automates the playlist/library making process for them. We need an app that transfers playlists from Spotify to different streamers!
📻 Join me today for my weekly music show, 4-6pm ET, wxdu.org I'll play an eclectic grab bag of past, present, & future sounds, from Roy Ayers to Ray Barretto, Park Hye Jin to Saint Etienne, Bugz in the Attic to the great French turntablist Jean du Voyage I take requests & do shout-outs!
The second video from my record FOREST FIRES is up now, this one for the title track. I created this animation in Adobe Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Animate, and After Effects, with a lil help from some fire templates. It took hours & hours but I rather like what I ended up with: youtu.be/faT0ADqJk7o

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search" This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!! www.unep.org/news-and-sto...
AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

Today is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, the shortest day and the longest night, the first day of winter but also the day that marks the return of the light. The true reason for the season!
New bombshell report on "Ghost Artists" on Spotify from @lizpelly.bsky.social, with shocking accounts from inside the company. Raises serious concerns about unfair and deceptive practices that likely merit an FTC investigation.
