Romeo Poirer is the current vibe over here: neptunesmac.app/l/a/16439243...

The season for this one... neptunesmac.app/l/t/65619725...

New Shabazz Palaces record today. Get to see Digable Planets perform Blowout Comb tonight. Clear skies and waxing gibbous on deck. Let’s go Friday. 🌔

Good bit of Wednesday AM bonkers going here... neptunesmac.app/l/a/67999498...

Me + my first scroll, “Hexagram 48 (The Source)”. Features 120 dreams from visitors of past installations. Inspired by the I Ching: “The rope must go down all the way into the well if you want to draw fresh water.” In a group exhibit at the Riffe Gallery in Columbus, Oct 31, 2026—Jan 8, 2027.

I forget about this, then I remember, then I forget. Currently remembering: cosine.club

so offensive to this human artist

Just about 1 in 3 people voted in 2022. The best way we can win is if more Vancouverites use their voice to ask for more from City Hall. Vote OneCity for Council, Park and School Board before 8pm. www.vancouver.ca/vote #vanpoli

I'd say it's midnight somewhere but it isn't. Tokyo soon but can't wait.... www.jamesreeves.co/456am/

A good read—or listen as I did.

The vibe tonight. ⚡️📻⚡️ neptunesmac.app/l/a/18399333...

Currently enjoying @rurza.bsky.social's Winyl web app for sessions when I'm listening to albums on Apple Music straight through. Much less chaotic than my regular AM environment. Elegant and thoughtful. winyl.app +I've been using his Neptunes app daily for a number of years as well—also great.

Vancouver people: Regardless of whether you've voted yet, this is a great resource for getting a sense of the temperature from candidates (those who cared enough to respond) on core questions around the future arts and creativity in Vancouver. #Vanpoli

Studio Vibe tonight: neptunesmac.app/l/a/18252113...

This is a huge issue for my family and all the visual artists, designers, musicians etc that make up our community! More, AFFORDABLE artist studio spaces. More venues that have the chance to plan and grow without looking over their shoulders every step of the way. ⚡️ 🗳️ ⚡️

More than occasionally, I remind people that @jamesbridle.bsky.social wrote this book, and it’s very much worth reading *at least* once.

Anne Carson. Yes. Just absolutely, yes.

New guide now up on Soundtrack The Page: Rob Young's brilliant "Electric Eden" soundtrackthepage.com/eden/index.h... Dive in below!

THIS. ⚡️🗳️⚡️

Back to back Yu Su spinning this afternoon.

Always a pleasure to get lost in… song.link/TNTtakemura

Dreams as collage and vice versa + a very nice mention of Dream Club!

Transmission 11 went out last night. ⚡✌️ buttondown.com/crompsy/arch...

Stoked!

I’ve always liked Michael. The news that he’d had a stroke at 38 was heartbreaking—as is this interview—but it’s good to hear more from him and get a sense of his hope and recovery. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/s...

I’ve been obsessed with this collective the last couple of years and I’m giddy for the new record coming early October. www.excisedept.com

Just realized this one turned 10 this year. Happy belated anniversary to Gold Panda’s “Good Luck and Do Your Best”, a record that’s got a lot of joyful rotation in our home over the years.

It vexes me to no end that so many people have willingly ceded their taste to a fucking algorithm. Not knowing what to watch, read, or listen to next is one of the most exciting problems a person can have.

Just saw a dude out with his shop vac vacuuming up freshly fallen cherry blossoms. Wow.

The Vancouver Art Book Fair is looking for volunteers! 🗓 May 15–17, 2026 📍 Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre 📧 To apply, email volunteers@vancouverartbookfair.com with your availability.

Local weather commentary: 'vigorous cold front' wtf. Spring, I *finally* believed in you and your potential as a bringer of warmth and positive change. Who hurt you? Sincerely, Crompsy

Just getting around to reading this @metalabel.bsky.social joint. squad.metalabel.com/acf2026?vari...

"Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a planet where the sound of rain falling is like Bach?” This quote from Oliver Sacks via Bill Hayes (Insomniac City) is resonating now as I sit in a cabin in the northwest coast rainforest.

It’s true. I’ve detected zero fuckery in my use of it. I love the clarity of the design objective. Lean, beautiful and functional.
