Nice book. It's a bit too academic for me, but still cool. Immediately, the title had me wondering what the American version of hauntology would sound/look like. A more sample rich version of ambient country perhaps?

Yeah, this is really lovely. I think @thetrailhead.bsky.social mentions in the liner notes its like a post rock Bert Jansch. Kinda is in a way. It's hard to find stuff that's trying to open up new avenues & I really like that this album is adventurous in that way

Ry Cooder joining Pentangle? Peter Green playing on Bryter Layter? Sonic Youth covering Avocet? Rose Delta Rising can stand up to any such fanciful daydreams, but it adds up to much more ... aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/09/14/n...

Even though this article left off on of my fave ambient folk albums (The Dreamies "Auralgraphic Entertainment") its a great read. One that you can really find out about some excellent, obscure artists and some nice historical context. Thanks @thetonearm.com for posting it

“In November 1995, an NME review of Flying Saucer Attack’s Chorus mentioned the ‘ambient-folk-rulebook’ as though somebody, somewhere, had already written one. No explanation followed. The phrase was simply left there among the guitars.” Ambient Folk Before 1995 — The Rulebook That Never Existed:

Sometimes i wish there was a place i could vent a bit about my musical ups and downs. Making music on your own can get weird and confusing This isnt the place but it would be nice to have some therapeutic discussions from time to time

This year, I made my first album using only a 4 track Tascam rather than with a DAW. Now I'm considering making a record just using the sound on sound function on my reel to reel I can't decide if it's goofy or if it's going to be awesome pretending it's 1979

I never thought soccer would be the thing that made me see this so clearly, but I fear we are really done. Using MAGA logic to defend a position on a sport most of them know like zero about. "Other countries would do it" & "FIFA is corrupt anyway" are just lame. It's like trying to find more votes

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

“Automatic” in the FIFA regs/code just means that there’s no need for additional process—i.e., an investigation or disciplinary proceeding—to determine the applicable sanction. It does not mean the sanction is unreviewable. It does not mean that Article 27 cannot be invoked to suspend the sanction.

Its driving me nuts that all these new converts to the game somehow think that because the call might have been bullshit that we can just withdraw the suspension FIFA's corruption made this WC hard for me. With how the Iranian team were treated and now this, it just has sealed it for me. ETTD

Gearing up to do a new record. For the 1st time ever, I'm gonna limit myself to just guitar, bass & drums. Less choice paralysis. Just putting out there to remind myself that this was the course I set sail on. Let's find out if limitations can produce positive results

Note to fellow guitarists..if you don't have a DI. get one asap! Re-amping your guitar has so many advantages. One big one is that you can replay your dry guitar tracks back through your pedal board. You get way more control & you can really experiment without worrying about playing at the same time

After managing to open up an old harddrive from 2000 and doing some other sleuthing, I have copies of all of my new release lists from August 1998 to April 2002. I even have one from 1995! Pretty interesting time capsule of IDM music as it was being released. All prices and descriptions still there

I am being interviewed by the moderator of the Pink Floyd/Syd Barrett Facebook group on how Barrett achieved his sound using the Binson Echorec. I'm trying to help determine if recent unearthed sound is indeed Syd's playing. This may be the nerdiest thing I have ever done

I would love to get some label interested in giving this album a home Been hard going but this really is a super heavy kosmische record. We are very proud of it

Modal jazz Give me your recommendations. I am a jazz ignoramus Trying to enhance my knowledge of modes. So classic stuff is fine. Not too outside. More linear, not playing over lots of changes. Deeper and more focused, the better. Feel free to treat me as a novice cause I am. Thank you!
