Once again found myself writing an entirely new 20-minute abstract music piece in response to an invitation to play a very small/intimate performance thing this weekend.

It's the second day of 2026 and journalism is already off to a bad start.
This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc)

Good morn’ - here’s a link to the latest Stuffed Spider release, which I thinks genuinely very good. Heavily layered guitars, gradual development of dissonance, sprawling synth/noise landscapes, general unspooling. stuffedspider.bandcamp.com/album/enfiel...

About to release this 17-minute mix of dissonant minimal guitar, drone, synth and tape collage. Recs on who to alert to this in case there are writers interesting in this sort of thing?
Thanks.

I’m now past the threshold of beginning to edit a video for a 17-minute long composition based on live performance footage, random iPhone travel videos, found footage and rudimentary text/morion graphics. Keep me in your thoughts.

Susceptible as anyone to a little Black Sabbath nostalgia, I've been listening to bits of the first three albums today and as always am struck by how much these recordings would absolutely NOT FLY by today's standards. So dry, so raw, so unadorned. But they rule so hard.

Genuine question what are the strengths of any music format (CD, tape etc) at this point? Having a hard time justifying any of them to myself these days.

I think it's fair to clown on wild swings in the stock market based on insane Trump policies while *also* clowning on the very idea of the stock market controlling our economy and lives based on a series of whims, rumors, gut feelings, panics and Tweets.
