Acabophobia: fear of the number 1312

For the Masses is pretty great, and led me finally to love and appreciate Depeche Mode. Solid bangers on there.

Literally the prelude to Death Stranding.

Ah, however, one plays not to win, but to force others to also lose.

“You just lost The Game.”

Shit I learned about because of Part Troll:

• Argos
• Little Chef
• Scrumping
• Nectar Points
• Aled Jones / “Walking in the Air”

Also his tribute to Kraftwerk was gold.

Peak Kyle.

Excellent explanation, and happy cake day, if that’s a thing we say.

Damask Harrison at your service, and you’re tuned into Crackerbox Palace on WFMU outta East Orange, New Jersey.

Woo Undead Warlock!

Call me when they start growing “spines.”

I’ve personally witnessed butterflies cannibalizing other dead butterflies.

I just wish somebody had pulled this guy aside and been like, “Dude, he’s a Rasta space trucker, not fuckin Tonto.”

I love The City & the City so much. Need to get into more of Miéville.

Just finished a re-“read” of Neuromancer by William Gibson, audiobook form this time. I hated the way the reader performed, especially his shitty attempt at a Jamaican dialect for the Zionite characters. Book still rules though.

Now I’m onto How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, read by the author. Picked it up in physical form last month but never got to it. The audiobook is based on the paperback version, with edits and notes that are helpful and further enlightening. Great stuff.

I was using Soulseek in 2005 just before Boards of Canada put out The Campfire Headphase, and I must have grabbed a fake because the version I heard sounded nothing like them and I didn’t care for it. Many years later I would realize my mistake, and the real thing is my favorite album of theirs, but I still wonder what that fakeout album actually was.

Any former WinMX heads in the house?

Banger from start to finish.
