I guess we're all too jaded about Republican hypocrisy now, but I still think it's worth imagining if Joe Biden had gotten Bill Gates to send a bunch of Microsoft nerds into government institutions to start hacking into government servers and payment systems. Would they have totally dug that?

This book comes out in February. An absolutely fascinating collection of academic writings on connections between literature and progressive rock and metal. I have a chapter on J.G. Ballard and the music of Trevor Horn/Yes.
The Routledge Handbook of Progressive Rock, Metal, and the Literary Imagination
This Handbook illustrates the many ways that progressive rock and metal music forge striking engagements with literary texts and themes.

Enjoying some late 80s Norwegian pagan folk-rock-punk from Ym:Stammen. I got this when it came out in 1987. A friend of mine painted the cover, and the singer was an acquaintance. The first time someone from "our" crowd had made something so professional. Mind you, I was 16, they were 20-somethings.

If you, like me, appreciate dynamics in music, here's a tip: Youtube has recently introduced default dynamic range compression on their videos. It's called Stable Volume. Turn it off if you think music is already over-compressed.

OK, I really need to try to transition away from Meta. Which means I need new friends. Can you shout out if you like democracy, equality and progressive rock?

Hey Dream Theater! You're so interested in craft and artistry. You charge a pretty penny to come hear the sound of a lifetime of practicing.
Yet you couldn't be bothered to pay your own few pennies to one of the myriad talented artists that would love to make a cover for you. Nah, let's AI it!

I guess I'll post a bit of what I do musically here as well. Recently released is the second album with my electronica/dash of jazz-funk project Donner, called The Van Gennep Gap.
And coming early December, is the long-awaited (?) remastered reissue of White Willow's 2004 album Storm Season.

50 år siden Nick Drake døde idag. 25 år senere hørte jeg denne sangen hans covret av Askers store proghelter White Willow (@jacobholmlupo.bsky.social!) på Club 3. Vokalist Sylvia jobbet på den tiden på Café Polo på andre siden av torget og spilte mye Drake der. Musikken hans definerte mine tenår.
