Pretty hooked on #litterati now. Going to be posting my #litteratitreasure (e.g. weird finds) here now, as well as my weird music finds (#albumscan).

Firstly, this coin, which is like finding a caveman by NZ standards!

I’ve been picking up rubbish on dog walks, with the Litterati app (open source rubbish data!) Turns out me and Bean both need “enrichment”.

Last week I found a half-buried plastic bag with some interesting contents.

Does ANYTHING beat @listenbrainz.org when it comes to tracking physical listens? Just mucking about listening to music today and it suddenly hit me that we’ve created something great.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Various - Rest Your Mind to the Music -and let the Maersk Minds work for you!

Pretty restful for the most part, apart from dud or two. Makes my top 10 shipping company mixes. Maersk did NONE of my work while I listened to this.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Guy Cater - Change for Life

One of the best ‘album’ covers a thrift shop has delivered so far! I haven’t taken this for a test-ride yet, but open for suggestions as to what thing I should try change in 30 days!

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Lix - 3 Songs

Again, amazing for obvious reasons. I couldn’t find anything about this artist online - total bedroom project. I wonder if they would be stoked or mortified to see this today.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Allswither - HZATR

For obvious reasons!! If you want to smash Allswither with orders based on this that would be very very funny. They sell the cassette for very cheap here: allswither.bandcamp.com/album/hzatr

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Various - Channel Z: The Best Of, Volume 1

A kiwi classic that never had a good cover online. When I got this for $1 I told the cashier the CD was stolen from the case. Their face when I said I don’t care…

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Ngaa Kaihiki - Kia a Ihu: Unto Jesus

A downside of archiving junk (aka treasure) is the volume of Christian self-releases. Usually it’s just bad music.. but this one is nice! Not understanding Te Reo helps too.

Back to work - which mean ambient soundtracks + a bit of weirdness. Nice new discovery with Bocuma.

Grindcore and soundtracks again. This combo makes me happy. More @doseone, #insectwarfare, @Kiefer_on_Keys, @karuritosu, some other god stuff!

Back home and settling in! Work music is soundtracks like #deadlypremonition and #sludgelife, play music is grindcore like old #brob and new #gridlink (kinda fake grind but whatever), woo!

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Josephine Fisher - Guided Meditations

This CD-Rs cover made it an easy purchase. Pinecones and rubbish in a hole? While entering this I found that she died this year. It’s nice to connect with, and immortalise, local strangers.

Todays #musicbrainz #albumscan: Eclipse - On Track

This ticks so many boxes for me. Awkward cover picture. Covers album. Band name that has been taken by 1,000 other bands already. Heart-warming booklet. Good on ya, Chris and Larry!

Amos Roddy again… I guess I was still travelling last week. Nothing beats his tracks to blur out a long flight. Nothing really surprising or new here folks!

Sitting in the airport, on my way back from #summit23. 12 hour plus layover, uh oh. Time for LBmonday. Spot the releases where I was chilling and working, and the ones where I need to unwind!

Almost entirely soundtracks and good background listening = a week of all work and no play

I always listen to a bunch of punk/metal/grind LPs and tapes as well, but I back this set too.

Todays #musicbrainz scans: Dolebludger - Demonstration Tape

The Cover Art Archive is having trouble so these aren’t up yet… soon! Young local crusties! ‘Dole bludger’ is NZ slang for being on the benefit. I think they all have jobs now haha

Todays #musicbrainz scans: Arsehuffer - New Shit

New Zealand grindcore outfit. Featuring the usual amazing xerox/cut and paste stylings of Benny of Hairy Palm label fame. Just the right amount (e.g. loads) of distortion/artifacting. Great band name too.
