Been in bed most the day with a truly magnificent headache.

It seems to have let up a little but still pretty bad.

Fuck Michael Jackson.

@mxtthxw I'm guessing it's bad. Really really bad.

@mxtthxw @axwax that has to be one of the most ridiculous opening lines ever..

If anyone’s wondering when it stops, from all the evidence I’ve gathered so far it doesn’t.

It just doesn’t stop.

I blame Michael Jackson.

@mxtthxw I thought he implied you could stop once you'd had enough?

I am pleased to announce that Key 13 will be representing The Island Of Nothing in the upcoming competition!

There will be ANIMALS *

And MOOGS †

And also, for no particularly good reason, some MANDOLINS! ‡

Vote from this Sunday!


  • no animals were harmed during the making of this track

† pronounced "Mogue"

‡ not the type you use to slice things with, though, the other kind...

I'm very curious to see if anyone has implemented my mathematician-camel-reggae idea... 🐫

@stephan I somehow managed to create a "medieval reggae" track a few years back. It's really quite bad, I don't usually mention it!

Had you noticed? There's a new release of remixes of music which may, or may not, be #BonkWave !

It includes my somewhat heretical remix of @n3wjack 's track "The Way of the Bonk" from the last compilation, and not one, but two reciprocal ambient(ish) remixes of the Key 13 track 'IBM'.

Not only that, but 6 other truly amazing remixes! What are you waiting for?!

Major thanks go to:

@ordosmarkzero for herding the cats into making this happen

@socool for mastering everything so it sounds so good together

@SrRochardBunson for doing the groundwork on the cover art

@axwax for sorting out the Bandcamp release

@n3wjack for preparing the album notes and getting us to sort out the track order

.. truly a full community effort!

yes I probably should have also thanked all the artists who spent time producing the awesome music!!

Didn't mean to leave you folks out!

Actually, listening back to the final mix of my entry from last night I am feeling a bit better about it - those two hours were definitely well spent, it's much more balanced now.

The song itself isn't as good as last year's one, but I'm happy enough that it's not going to be a total disgrace :)

Hopefully it will at least make a few people smile.

@keefmarshall@mastodon.online avatar

OK, I really didn't have time this evening to spend another two hours mixing but it is so much better for it. Still far from perfect, but that's it, submitted!

Many thanks to @mxtthxw and @elsemusic who inadvertently provided the inspiration for this one!

Now to find time for all the other stuff I was supposed to be doing tonight :(

OK, OK.. I have too many plugins, all right Logic, I get it... just load already! I have a deadline!

@elsemusic @mxtthxw Darn it, I forgot I also have to come up with a country :(

The way this one is going it should probably be "Marconi's Finest Bakery" but I think I can do better than that :)

Does anyone else here use as their main mastodon accessing thing on their phone?

When I'm catching up on the overnight it seems to skip hours at a time which gets to be annoying.

I end up filling in the gaps on the default Mastodon app which I'm less keen on because of the jiggling "new post" marker that is constantly, and redundantly, at the top.

keefmarshall,
@keefmarshall@mastodon.online avatar

@n3wjack @radiophobicsherkpop I definitely used to have this problem with Tusky.. not every time but often enough to be annoying. Pachli definitely fixes it. But if it's not bothering you I thought Tusky was pretty nice otherwise.

@axwax I can't resist plugging this one more time.. my new chillout EP Sea · Sky · Clouds was released this week and you can now get it on as well as :

https://mirlo.space/key13/release/sea-sky-clouds
https://music.key13.uk/sea-sky-clouds/

If you still want to get it on Bandcamp I've posted a new batch of free codes here:

https://mastodon.online/@keefmarshall/112376016320199302

If you do pay (no obligation!) all proceeds from this EP will be donated to the infrastructure fund!

https://blog.radiofreefedi.net/2024-rff-infrastructure-fund

@keefmarshall@mastodon.online avatar

So I have a new release out: Sea · Sky · Clouds - an EP with 4 remixed and remastered archive tracks, chosen to loosely fit together by theme.

They cover the more chilled-out side of Key 13, drawing on influences including IDM, jazz, downtempo, post-rock, new age and Indian classical music.

This is my first attempt at a "proper" coherent release - tracks mastered together - It even comes with a small booklet!

@mxtthxw all I did was list out the dates for bandcamp Fridays for the rest of the year and point out it's no longer every month. Who knew that would go viral 🤣
