Yeah I’m aware, and I’ve tried it separately on Pop too. Just personally going to wait for the first release proper now

Definitely worth playing around with either on bare metal like an old laptop or something, maybe in the holidays like you mention. I switched to Linux on my main gaming PC a year and a half ago, and just installed EndeavourOS (with Plasma) on my new Framework laptop

Really coming along nicely, looking forward to trying this on EndeavourOS

I’m fine continuing to eat it incorrectly

I remember spending too much time listening on the headphones to the sample CDs. That and getting mum to buy me this excellent dnb comp for £15(!) as my Xmas pressie in 2001: https://www.discogs.com/release/168103-Various-Playaz-4-Real

Ah awesome, would have loved to have seen cLOUDDEAD at the time myself, enjoyed most of the stuff on Big Dada too.

Gave All Portrait, No Chorus a listen and dug it (was that a Cannibal Ox ref in the first track?!), will add the Alias/Dose One collab to the list… thanks!

Idc about Coachella usually but been loving the banter between them and Charli

Stone cold classic, good to see other emo bands like Penfold back too (praying for a Europe/UK tour)

I learned about Tipper through a music discord, excellent sound design

I’ll check that out, no idea he was still making music! And yeah rip Alias, loved Anticon and his own material back in the day (that Deep Puddle Dynamics record <3)

I remember seeing all the hype for that record when it came out but didn’t get it until catching them live at Outbreak fest, immense stuff

I was obsessed with Duress at one point in lockdown, underrated artist

Such a vast discog, love the King Geedorah record

I count myself fortunate to have somehow avoided ridiculous rents/rent increases, terrible landlords and bad housemates, eventually getting on the housing ladder in my late 30s. Too many people especially in the home countries/London aren’t nearly as lucky. Even offered help by my parents but wanted to do it myself

Went over to Europe for a festival, really enjoyable right up until the point when I got food poisoning. DX Had to miss the last day staying in my room close to a toilet with recovery fortunately quick enough to make the flight home risk free but I’m still learning what I can and uh definitely can’t eat yet

Listened to them a bit in my metal days, impressed to see them have over 80k monthly listeners on Spotify now!

Penelope Trappes, specifically her new record A Requiem. Lovely stuff, the album closer in particular gives me Lisa Gerrard vibes

Haha! This is on the first floor, so it’s a level up. Between my living room and office is the shared bathroom and second bedroom, so whilst I’m no expert at all I do think it’s better to run it externally rather than drill any holes

Mini pub crawl solo tonight, run first thing then working tomorrow as it’s year end apart from my dad taking me out to birthday lunch which is nice. Club night through early Sunday, catch up with friends over Jitsi Sunday morning then sleep through to the evening hopefully

I’ve heard good things about Mickey 17, enjoy!
