If you're involved in electronic music-making and you're not white, please DM me on here.

I've just been watching loads of #SuperBooth footage and was aghast at how overwhelmingly white the whole thing is. I've seen more diversity at EDL marches.

So, I'm gonna try and do something about it. And the first thing is organising.

@Jyoti IIRC The first “electronic music” I heard was Junie Morrison’s wiggly waveforms on “Funky Worm” ;-) 🎵 🎶 🪱 👍️ 😁 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wWiBJJ2dvBg

What is your dream road trip? Where would you start? Where would you end up? What stops would you make along the way? It can be short or long, whatever interests you!

@RickiTarr TBH I’m not big on road trips, don’t wanna spend my vacation in a car and there’s some places cars can’t get to. Would rather fly somewhere then cycle. Highly recommended: ! 🇰🇭 👍️ 😁

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

@RickiTarr . Lots of different kinds of people here, most of 'em are nice, it feels like a community. is to the west, is to the east. We got parks, libraries, pretty good public transportation, politics trends left-of-center (which is pretty much where I am). Not much to complain about. I mean, I wish we had mountains like Colorado. But other than that, all good! 👍 😁

Looking forward to really stepping up my game when I return to @WFMU today, thanks to this informational LP I found in Houston last week. I’ve got more Texas record store finds to share, plus a belated tribute to Ultravox’s Chris Cross AND so many new/recent releases to catch up on! It all starts at the top of the hour! 12 noon - 3pm EDT! See you there!

@efd @WFMU Didn't know about CC, how sad! First tune that comes to mind is "Passing Strangers" with that prominently flanged (or phased or chorused or double-tracked) bass. Bless 'im!

What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

@7sleepersmusic@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr TBH It was mostly awful. Bullied the first 2 years, utterly stoned and ignored the last 2 years. Didn't kill me, tho. Took a few years, maybe decades, but I finally got me head screwed on more or less straight. Or maybe I'm still screwed up and I just don't care. Either way, I'm mostly happy now :-)

Nina Hagen Band (10”) @vinylrecords

Had this back in the day. Saved from the cheap bin.

@7sleepersmusic@mastodon.social avatar

@vinylrecords @icastico Used record store dude handed me a freebie, I was 11yo and perpetually scouring the bins for Numan or Devo something like that. “Here kid, you’ll like this one,” that sort of thing. I am eternally grateful! 🎶 👍️ 😁

7sleepersmusic,
@7sleepersmusic@mastodon.social avatar

@icastico @vinylrecords Strangely, no! Not sure why, perhaps my budget was limited at the time. The only other Nina I own is “Fearless”, very different style but equally enjoyable IMHO. Really need to flesh out my collection. That same used record store is thankfully still around. Back to the bins, eh?

Yes, very few people make a living doing art, and even fewer make a living doing the art they want. Maybe this is just me, but it seems like there's something about art that is anti-fascist and anti-capitalist. Authoritarians fear self expression, arts always seem the first to go when things get more conservative, and yet it has never stopped us. If they take everything away, we will draw on cave walls with charcoal from a fire, make dolls of corn husks, carve bones into beads, make bowls of mud, write stories in blood, make musical instruments out of anything, we will remember our history through song. We will pass these things down as evidence that we could never completely be silenced, we were here, we matter.

@Jaden3 I remember watching Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" as a kid, he said the universe was probably "teeming with life". He did a whole segment on what life on Jupiter might look like. I thought that was cool! 🪐 👍 😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4nEkGb0XsY

@Doctor_J_@mastodon.social avatar

I really have a problem with this type of reporting. I got my first records in 1983/84, bought my first CD in 1988 and they sit on shelves in my home still, they haven’t been disposed of and they are far from being single use plastics. While billionaires continue to cross-cross the globe in jets, treating the earth as a disposable asset, I don’t think I should be guilt-tripped into listening to less music. Get stuffed. #music

@bourgwick @vinylrecords The only album I can make out in that photo is 's "The Singles", which RC succinctly categorized as "one play or less" back in 1985. Would be happy to take that one off his hands ;-) https://robertchristgau.com/xg/cg/cgv3-85.php
