Die Scum Records

As I head home after blowing off steam from a very long work week, I feel fortunate to crank up a new tune from @salexanderreed.bsky.social with lush synths from @assemblage23.bsky.social

Excellent times indeed.

It’s okay. I watched it and nerded out too.

Tonight’s uber home thought…. Dwayne Gotelle passed away 30 years ago. Two years after I’d learned about Skinny Puppy, and his impact on my music tastes and inspirations still reverberate to this day. RIP to a true icon of electronic music.

If you go to a large indoor public gathering knowing you’re sick and dance your ass off in a crowded room… as someone who spent the weekend as staff… fuck you.

It’s a marathon, not a race. But the low fuel warning just popped up. But Traitrs is just fucking killing it.

@terminusfestival.bsky.social has been a riot so far. Sure there’s a lot of running around as the resident video gremlin, but great to catch up with the friends you only see once a year.

SNK has put out the best fighting games of this era between KOF15 and COTW. Just sayin

Reinstalling your OS and trying to cram your oodles of VSTs back into your DAW is hell.

We are making some great bloops tonight for our monthly synth meet.

Today I put a pin in Clair Obscur. And I can say without fear of hyperbole that it was one of the most impactful pieces of media I have ever consumed. And one of the most beautifully heartbreaking games I’ve played.

I am so frustrated by the state of the world that reviving DSI as an angry protest band seems okay

Went to the Palomino to catch Homefront tonight, and the kiddo was VERY mad that it wasn’t all ages. Soooooo bringing him home his first punk band hoodie.

I work in the energy industry, and a lot of the cats I talk to day to day have no idea how much better life would be if they unionized and seized the means of production.

We’re done with the federal distraction. Back to our real problem in AB, the UCP. If you don’t get how damaging provincial political power is, you need to review junior high social studies.

I’m so ready

2025, you’ve been a bit of a dogshit year so far. Let’s try and work on making that a bit better, alright?

Spent all day with the kiddo supporting his karate club. Watching your little human grow and find their people is something else.

I spent tonight with dear friends and my heart is full.

This is just a reminder. Tell your people you love them unapologetically. We raised put glasses to a fallen friend all night and his absence was keenly felt. Hug your homies.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been out doing karaoke with the viet homies. But the JP9000 super saw in their dance music is fucking delicious.

I didn't foresee xfer dropping Serum 2 with startlingly pro-consumer upgrade path. They just won the internet for anyone with a DAW

Looking good, man!

Learned that one of my OG Calgary FGC homies has lost his battle with cancer.

The first time we met you ended my first SF4 tournament run. From there we trained together, money matched in smokey back rooms, crossed borders together, and always talked the shit to each other. I'll miss you Hai.

Excellent

Watching capcom cup. I’m down for Xiaohai losing. Motherfucker bit me once on the arm at an afterparty.

A day strolling around in the mountains was exactly what the mentals needed today.

Hardware only sets are a blast.

Very stoked to see you back on the bill this year.

Industrial Summer Camp is back for another year. While it's not official yet, past events are a great predictor of future ones, and I'll be hanging in the back spinning video blips and blobs all weekend long.

I can't lie, I'm so goddamned jazzed on this lineup.

Hey! @hatemior.bsky.social HBD!
