Mostly ambient, dub techno and minimal house. I post some of it to !umd@sh.itjust.works One neat trick I learned this week is that you can choose random sorting at bandcamp tag pages: https://bandcamp.com/discover/electronic?s=rand (it's called "surprise me" in dropdown)

A few years back my wife picked up a used media server she thought we could use. A couple weeks ago I finally cracked it open and found that it contains, among other things, all the Billboard top 100 songs for every year from 1968 to 2008.

I threw all those ~4K songs (some are repeats) into a playlist and have been sitting through it.

Did you know that the Irish Rivers recorded a version of Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn" set to music and it was, apparently, a big hit? The past really is a foreign country.

This has captured my attention almost every morning since I found it last month. Led Zeppelin - Going To California (Live at Earls Court 1975)

No idea why, maybe it's watching JPJ and Jimmy Page play off each other knowing how much fun they seem to be having. And they both seem to be in the pocket at the same time, very rare these days. Maybe it's the feeling in the words from Robert Plant.

Love the song and particularly love this version.

Friendly Fires, Elbow, but mostly going through my own recordings from the last 25 years and see if there is something I want to remix, merge or finish. It is mostly (Acid) Techno, house, breakbeat, trip and hiphop, over 400 projects so it will take a while categorizing because a lot of my music have dumbass project names like “recording 001” or “14 March” for instance.

I'm in a mood lately.

It's a mix of death metal, some thrash, folk, bubblegum pop and some hip-hop.

As in, all mixed together, where I'll have some kataklysm going for a song or three, then some Debbie Gibson, then some anthrax, then some Britney, then some Biggie, then some bygones back to some amon amarth, etc, etc.

Normally, I tend to sink into a general range and then cycle to another for a few days. No idea what's spurred this rotation, but it is what it is

“Seraphin” by echos

A melancholy love song written in Latin and sung like an ancient hymn. It’s beautiful.
