Dust Volume 10, Number 2

Ballister

It’s a leap year, so we all get an extra 24 hours to listen to February music.  Why not try some of these selections from our endless piles of when-i-get-to-its?  We’ve got unhinged beatmakers and noise-addled Canadians, smashing, grabbing jazz men and psychedelic post-punk.  And really a lot more.  February always seems long.  This year it’s even more extended.  Use your time wisely.  Play records. 

This month’s contributors include Patrick Masterson, Ian Mathers, Bill Meyer, Bryon Hayes, Tim Clarke, Jennifer Kelly, Jonathan Shaw, Jim Marks and Andrew Forell. 

8ruki — POURquoi!! (33 Recordz)

This ain’t your mother’s TTC. Bilingual Parisian 8ruki takes most of his cues from Atlanta, acting with a whole lotta Whole Lotta Red in mind and squeezing 22 songs into his third album — about right for contemporary hip-hop in this vein, which frequently abandons ideas after less than two minutes and leaves a trail of incomplete sketches in its wake; like others his age, 8ruki has evolved to consider this less a bug (especially for stans forever thirsty for the next “project”) than a feature, the default mode of working. I don’t know what good it would do to comment on a song called “Andrew Tate!!” or “Elon Musk!!” at this stage other than to suggest the guy’s just being (what the French call) a provocateur, but peek elsewhere and you’ll find an unexpected beat switch on “VAris//PIENna,” not to mention a world-shrinking reference to the Golden State Warriors; the high-pitched squeaks of “CA$h!!” and “GIVENCHY MARgiela!”; the string sample and rolling bass of “EDQuer!!”; and a whole lot more to enjoy. Ignore the annoying tendency to turn caps off halfway through a song title; this is a fun record with a lot going on that’s even better if you more than half understand it.

ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT — “Darling The Dawn” (Constellation)

The credits for this duo’s second release are deceptively simple; Ariel Engle (La Force, Broken Social Scene) as just “voice” and Efrim Manuel Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt Zion) as just “noise.” But there are whole worlds contained in voice and noise, and there’s a sonic, emotional, and political complexity here that makes it feel much weightier and more elaborate than the work of any two people. (It also had one of the best song titles of last year in “We Live on a Fucking Planet and Baby That’s the Sun.”) There are distinct songs here, even some refrains, but the whole of “Darling The Dawn” also feels like one long ebbing and flowing movement, culminating in lovely, shattered grandeur with the closing one-two punch of “Anchor”/“Lie Down in Roses Dear.” Shoegaze without guitars (although not without occasional strings or drums, from Jessica Moss on violin and Liam O’Neill, respectively), emotional noise music, kosmiche played in a paupers’ graveyard; it’s hard to know what to call what ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT does, other than impressive. Maybe voice and noise is enough description after all.

Ian Mathers

Ballister — Smash And Grab (Aerophonic)

In Chicago, the smash and grab game is strong. People aren’t just breaking windows but driving vehicles through them. Ballister apply that spirit of aggressive enterprise to performance on this memento of saxophonist Dave Rempis, cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love’s reunion at the Catalytic Sound Festival in Chicago in December, 2022. The reeds wail and probe, the strings splinter and scrape, the drums smash rhythm in the air and reshape them. And that’s just in the first few minutes. Over the course of the set, they find ways to apply that assertive spirit to quieter passages and slower passages, fashioning rough thickets and inconsolable laments from the same rough material. While Dusted does not recommend literal application of the album’s title when acquiring it, we confidently predict that you’ll find the record sticking to your fingers, obliging you to return it to the playback device for another go around.

Bill Meyer

Cuneiform Tabs — Cuneiform Tabs (Sloth Mate)

The Sloth Mate label is the psychedelic tendril sprouting from the flourishing vine that is the modern Bay Area post-punk scene.  There’s certainly an affiliation with Famous Mammals, Children Maybe Later and others of that ilk, but there’s a tendency to stray from traditional idioms that is unique to the Sloth Mate catalog.  Violent Change, headed up by the imprint’s owner Matt Bleyle, is at the center of this sub-underground cabal, coming across like a garage punk band noisily banging out Face to Face-era Kinks jams after gobbling some mind-altering flora.  Sterling Mackinnon’s The False Berries on the other hand is a lo-fi ambient electronic project that recalls the early beat-inclusive work of Christian Fennesz.  Bleyle and Mackinnon collaborate remotely under the Cuneiform Tabs moniker (the latter musician is based in London, England).  The cross-pollination works incredibly well, with the most listenable aspects of each unit rising to the forefront.  When it appears, Mackinnon’s Dan Bejar-meets-Marc Bolan warble acts as a foil for Bleyle’s deeper crooning.  Similarly, the former’s atmospheric tendencies highlight the beautiful melodies hidden beneath the latter’s noise-baked tunesmithery.  Cuneiform Tabs’ psychoactive sonorities require work to decipher, but the endeavor is certainly worthwhile.       

Bryon Hayes

Mia Dyberg Trio — Timestretch (Clean Feed)

It’s tempting to take the title of Timestretch ironically, since this Scandinavian trio compacts a lot of action into 43.18.  There are 14 tracks, all but three composed by bandleader and alto saxophonist Dyberg. But more likely, it addresses this paradox; while the music never feels like it’s in a hurry, there’s a fair bit going on. Tonally, Dyberg shifts easily between slightly sour and just sweet enough, and her phrasing is mobile, but never busy. On a few unaccompanied tracks, she unburdens herself more directly, mourning for those laid low by conflict. Bassist Asger Thomsen anchors the music with stark, strategically placed notes, and adds dimension with occasional sparse, bowed comments.  But it’s drummer Simon Fochhammer who gives the music shape, sometimes with a quick rustle, other times by building an eventful structure around his partners.

Bill Meyer

Kali Malone — All Life Long (Ideologic Organ)

Swedish composer and organist Kali Malone takes a rigorous, structured approach to making music, crafting deliberately pared-back and laser-focused pieces that make the listener acutely aware of the shifting harmonic dynamics within thick layers of sound. This 78-minute album presents an intimidating edifice to a casual listener, but it is organized to allow curious immersion in more easily digestible sections. The longest tracks are organ pieces stretching to around 10 minutes in duration, aching with melancholy. However, there are also shorter vocal and brass pieces that deviate away from held drones into more spacious, overlapping progressions that are, on occasion, almost buoyant. All Life Long feels like music for a less easily distracted age; to be patient enough to bear witness to its full, solemn unfolding requires commitment, but how often do you hear music this awe-inspiringly pure?

Tim Clarke

 Michael Nau — Accompany (Karma Chief)

Accompany rides the line between cosmic country and garden variety indie pop, its gentle melancholy enlivened by radiant runs of twanging guitar. “It’s an impossible life to get over,” Michael Nau croons in “Painting a Wall,” sounding beaten down but not quite broken, grounded in the ordinary but yearning for transcendence. Nau, you might remember, fronted the indie chamber pop Page France in the early aughts and the slightly more countrified Cotton Jones in the late ones.  This fifth solo album hits its peak in plaintive “Shape-Shifting,” where an otherworldly echo sheathes both Nau’s voice and the rumble of piano, and a glow suffuses everything, making it more.

Jennifer Kelly

Note — Impressions of a Still Life EP (The North Quarter)

Manchester’s Note hasn’t been around all that long — the earliest traces of his Soundcloud only reach back to October of 2021 — but just within the last year, he’s demonstrated a knack for fusing airy, sultry R&B moods with the breaks n’ bass of UK dance music’s storied past. Late January’s Impressions of a Still Life EP out via The North Quarter imprint, helmed by Dutch producer Lenzman (himself a veteran of labels like Metalheadz, Nu-Directions and Fokus), is another fine example: Aside from the stirring “Vespertine” that debuted last summer and features poet and spoken word artist Aya Dia, plus “Cold Nights” that came in November, Note fills out the EP with three additional songs of varying speed and mood. The best might be “EVR,” which again features a vocalist, this time singer-songwriter Feeney. Employing deep bass, fluttering percussion and featherweight piano flourishes, the production here is top-notch Brit-inflected R&D&B. Watch this space.

Patrick Masterson

Plaza — Adult Panic (Self-Release)

The novelist and rock critic (and one-time Dusted writer) Michael Fournier spent the pandemic on Cape Cod with his wife Becca, he learning the bass and she the drums.  Adult Panic collects 11 spiked and minimalist cuts from this experiment, almost entirely instrumental (there’s a shouted refrain on “(The Real) Mr. Hotdog”) and rife with lockdown agitation. The drums are pretty basic, a skitter of high-hat with snare on the upbeats, but the bass parts wander and jitter intriguingly. The title track has a Slint-ish post-rock open-ended-ness, repeated riffs left to linger and shift in the air. “The Tomb of Santa Claus” moves faster and more insistently, letting surf-like bent notes flare from rickety architectures. The whole experience is rather dour and claustrophobic, right up until the end when “(The Real) Mr. Hotdog” clatters into earshot and the two Fourniers seem to be, finally, having some fun.

Caroline Polachek — Desire, I Want to Turn to You: Everasking Edition (Perpetual Novice)

I’m not gonna sit here and tell you all about how big Caroline Polachek’s 2023 was; if you were paying any attention to the conversation, you already know Desire, I Want to Turn to You was universally, justifiably acclaimed. The Everasking Edition tacks on seven additional songs, five fresh out the box, one an acoustic rendition of “I Believe” and one a cover. Regarding the latter: Anyone paying attention to the machinations of the modern music business will know the name Jaime Brooks, who was half of Elite Gymnastics and now works as Default Genders in addition to unflinching commentary on whatever the fuck is going on with Billboard charts and the ugly realities of how no one’s getting Spotify royalties. “Coma” was originally theirs from Main Pop Girl 2019, a beautiful, delicately skipping adrenaline rush of a love song. Polachek doesn’t radically reinvent what’s already great; instead, she leaves the music alone and takes ownership of the rendition with her lower pitch and breathy delivery. A heartfelt nightcap on an imperial year, you couldn’t have scripted that Valentine’s Day release any more perfectly.

Proton Burst — La Nuit (I, Voidhanger)

When the wife of storied French comics artist Phillipe Druillet died in 1975, Druillet poured his grief and rage into an idiosyncratic graphic narrative, La Nuit (1976); it’s full of mutant biker gangs, Druillet’s signature fever-dream architectural forms and hair-raising violence. French thrash metal weirdos Proton Burst loved the book, and in 1994 they produced an album-length project, part response, part soundtrack to the comic’s maniacal intensities. I, Voidhanger has given that Proton Burst record a deluxe reissue, including the original music, an extended live performance of it from 1995 and a booklet including eye-popping images from Druillet’s comic and an essay. If you’re in this for the music, the real treat is the live set, which is nearly as unhinged as Druillet’s illustrations. The band rages, rants, foments and froths—and is that a harp? Who knows. Like the original graphic narrative, what matters here is the volatility of the feeling tone, more so than any sense-making (or sonic) throughway. Lose yourself in the violence of it. Maybe that feeling of dislocation gets closest to the irrational agony of loss Druillet drew La Nuit in the teeth of, some 50 years ago.

Jonathan Shaw

Mariano Rodriguez — Exodo (self-released)

Mariano Rodriguez is an Argentinian guitarist in the Takoma school tradition with a large and high-quality back catalog. He often focuses on playing with a slide but is equally adept at playing without one and sometimes incorporates experiments with sound, as on Huesos Secos (2020), and fuller traditional instrumentation, as on Praise the Road (2017), into his recordings. Exodo, released late last year, is a set of mainly guitar soli. The playing is typically inspired, impressive without being flashy, and the compositions are tuneful and well-developed. Included is a 12-string anthem (“Lazaro”), Rodriguez’s signature slide work (such as on “The Desterrados”), bluesy 6-string meditations (“Diaspora”), and a couple of experiments with studio effects and overdubs (“The River and the Blind”) and drone (“Mother of the Road”). Over all, Exodo is a fine set of tunes that flows cohesively.

Jim Marks

Twin Tribes — Pendulum (Beso de Muerte Records)

Pendulum by Twin Tribes

It’s unclear precisely which tribes are twinned here, but if the music on Pendulum is any indication, it’s the deathrock freaks (with their long-standing romance of moldering, undead bodies) and the coldwave kids (who like to dance in place, furiously, disaffectedly, bodies frosty for entirely different reasons). Twin Tribes hails from the bastion of moody electronic music that is Brownville, TX, and somehow these Latinx fellows have managed to survive their local cultural climate long enough to release three LPs, a live tape and a whole bunch of singles and remixes. Pendulum refines the essential sonic template laid down in 2019’s Ceremony: tuneful, shimmery synths; snappy, brittle rhythm tracks; baritone vocals about zombies at the disco. If that sounds like fun, it surely is—but you’ll have a hard time convincing the kids in black eye makeup to crack anything like a smile. This reviewer can’t help it. The songs are too good, the vibes are way too goofily gravid. Dance, you flesh-eating misfits, dance.

Jonathan Shaw

Volksempfänger — Attack of Sound (Cardinal Fuzz / Feeding Tube)

Attack Of Sound by Volksempfänger

Attack of Sound’s swirling boy-girl harmonies instantly call to mind shoegaze luminaries Slowdive, but Volksempfänger’s noise-strewn guitar latticework is more aligned with The Jesus and Mary Chain.  Furthermore, the Dutch duo’s melodic flavor is as sweet as 1960s AM radio.  Ajay Saggar (Bhajan Bhoy) and Holly Habstritt combine these disparate sonic strands to create tidy noise pop gems, which they wrap in Phil Spector sonics.  The wall of sound approach imbues each song with a pulsating thrum.  This is the beating heart of their sound, underpinning the delightful vocal harmonies, shimmering guitar melodies, and waves of coruscating feedback.  The pair attains a balance between saccharine and savory aromas: dream pop wistfulness (“What the Girl Does” and “Your Gonna Lose Hard”) interchanges with propulsive garage rock (“How We Made It Seem” and “Damned & Drowned”).  The album closes out with the kaleidoscopic psychedelia of “You’ve Lost It,” introducing yet another aspect of Volksempfänger’s oeuvre.  This last-minute shift in mood adds a quirky sense of quietude to an otherwise exhilarating journey.

Ian Wellman — The Night the Stars Fell (Ash International)

The Night The Stars Fell by Ian Wellman

Recorded in the fire swept forests and deserts of Southern California, Ian Wellman’s The Night the Stars Fell plays like a Disintegration Loops for natural disasters. Wellman’s treated field recordings encourage the listener to subsume themselves in the natural rhythm of the wind that fanned the wildfires much like Basinski’s seminal work. While Disintegration Loops drew its potency from the association with 9/11, Wellman’s project is a more deliberate meditation on destruction. He coats his field recordings of deteriorating human structures — railcars, homes — and landscape ambience with short-wave radio static and decaying tape loops. There’s a concentration on both the violence of the destruction and the desolation of the aftermath. Huge swells of sound are interspersed with howls of wind, coruscating swathes of static and the creak and crank of burnt timber both natural and manufactured. The Night the Stars Fell is an absorbing evocation of nature’s power. 

Andrew Forell

Wharfer — Postboxing (Self-Release)

Postboxing by Wharfer

Wharfer’s Kyle Wall has long made the kind of shadowy, pared down indie-folk singer/songwriter music that elicits comparisons to Bill Callahan and Will Oldham. This time out, however, he ditches vocals and verse chorus structure entirely and enlists Chuck Johnson (pedal steel), Ian O’Hara (acoustic bass) and Duncan Wickel (violin) for a set of ambient, piano-forward reflections. These tracks are quietly riveting as, like “Wishing Well in White Noise,” the blend the chalky, elegiac tones of the piano’s upper registers with limpid pools of sustained pedal steel. Not quite ambient, the piece swirls and rounds to its own subtle rhythms, a faint thunk of bass ordering it forward. “Alto” brings the long, bowed vibrations of violin into the mix, then a sprightly sprinkle of pizzicato strings. And in the title track, a ritual voice flickers in and out of focus, but only as tone and texture. The piano carries the narrative, as string washes build and bass notes drop in and seagulls cry in the distance. It’s a subtle but powerful voice on its own, and you don’t miss the words one bit.

Blog Navigation 2024

“No man is free who cannot control himself” - Pythagoras

Blog Navigation List: 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019

Last Updated 12/27/2024

Summary

This is my blog navigation post that will be pinned to the top of my profile in 2025. To see all posts in chronological order visit the archive which is also the “menu” or hamburger icon in the upper left-hand corner on the web. Whether its hip-hop lyrics, non-fiction books, or autobiographical blog posts, I’m a prolific writer. I make these navigation posts at the end of the year to give a wrap-up and a look back on the year and give a little preview of the coming year

I was posting the “off week’s” Sunday updates at the beginning of this year here on tumblr but I decided I would only post music releases, cosmic luve logs, non-fiction treatises, and the occasional promotion from now on. I forgot to mention in the last (2023) Blog Navigation that I did a Word of the Day rhyme every day for months in 2023. It got no traction so I decided to stop doing it. Here is a YouTube playlist of the run, or check out the archive where I posted one month of them here on tumblr.

I still post a long-form sunday update to Youtube (@LyceumRecordz) every Monday, it used to be on Sundays and recently moved to Monday in November. Follow along with the weekly updates to see how everything unfolds.  (You can find the Weekly Update YouTube playlist here.) I currently shoot the weekly update live on instagram on Mondays at 9am est. I also currently go live on instagram on Fridays at noon est for a listening party of the week’s new track.

My book “108 The Story of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness” is still fundamental in understanding my story, perspective, and the content I talk about here in the blog. I’m going to leave the CosmicLuve.com log posts first again this year. They are the only series I have really been keeping up with. Spoiler alert… the 108 book is about how I think the planet is conscious and the evidence for it. In the cosmic luve log we practice sentientism and assume the earth is telepathic, trying to communicate, and would do so by guiding evolution. In the cosmic luve logs I show how this manifests through select attractive females semantically reflecting my life and work. 

I’ve been focusing on music this year. My first release in January 2025 will be my 160th track and 100th release. I’ve been releasing since August 2021 and twice a month since April 2022. I now release once a week or more. I released 82 tracks in 2024, 8 of which were doubles (re-releases of the same track), over 34 releases. I already have the first four months of tracks (almost) uploaded for release in 2025. I’m releasing a track every week in 2025 with an album every month for at least the first four months. I am limited by the costs it takes to run such volume. 

I did not write any treatises this year. I did not do an update of FarmingHumans.com or NouveauEconomic.com althoug I plan to this year. I have been writing the book for CanAndWillDo.com and have posted what I have for the intro so far linked in the treatises section. In 2025 I will be focusing on making content for social media to promote my music and writing my next book or two. This means I should have more philosophy posts coming soon.

I’m spending some time writing queries to secure a literary agent. Over the year I started and wrote a 20-some page business plan for Lyceum Recordz my LLC. If I don’t make enough money off my book, I want to try and find an investor for the business. 

Cosmic Luve posts: (In Chronological Order)

In Last year’s blog navigation (2023), I listed all of 2023’s cosmic luve entries. This year I will list the 2024 entries. Emma Watson, Taylor Swift, Hailee Steinfeld, Selena Gomez, and Jenalle Monae are my main cosmic luves although Taylor and Hailee were the stars this year. I don’t know if I’ll still get coincidences from these women in the future considering Hailee and Selena are now engaged and Taylor seems very happy. Hailee is now just my spirit animal. The track “Hi Selena” from the coming 2025 “Kyle Beats Collective 2” release has been uploaded since November of 2024.

Cosmic Luve May 2024 - The Tortured Poets Department: In this entry, I break down the coincidences and semantics that reflect my work in Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD)” I still think “Down Bad” is about me, the similarities are surreal. You’d know this if you read my book

Cosmic Luve Aug 2024 - Cherries: In this entry, I give a further look at Taylor’s TTPD and talk about how Hailee fulfilled Gaia’s predicted semantic, cherries. 

Cosmic Luve Dec 2024 - Strandbeest: This entry became the latest pivotal post. I talk about October and December semantics relating the two cats on my shirt in the “Is it Love?” song to Selena Gomez and Hailee Steinfeld's engagement. It seems Gaia is asking Taylor “Is it Love?” I relate the semantics to the previous year’s “Deer” pivotal post. I also talk about ancient aliens and how Gaia might see evolution.

Posts and Treatise List:

Most of the treatises haven’t been updated for at least a year or two if not more. I think I’m going to do a new Nouveau Economics update on February 21st for the “Global Warning” album. I wanna make the next Farming Humans edition with a focus on the monetary system and the results of a central bank on society. Basically our whole economy is indebted to the Federal Reserve. It’s debt bondage because you can’t pay the principal and interest back with just the principal. This is why Thomas Jefferson didn’t want a central bank and hated Alexander Hamilton who did want one. I want to keep up with these series because the goal is to write a book with new editions semi-annually. Like William G. Domhoff does for “Who Rules America” but only about inequality for the laymen. 

I have re-established the “My Reckoning” post so I can find it when querying agents. Second is a blog post for Can and Will Do.” I definitely wanted to update this one because it was wildly inadequate. I have a lot of the book brainstormed and about half written; a lot of it is organizing and elaborating on the already established brainstormed content. I wanna set a goal to get the first manuscript for “Can and Will Do” done by the end of the year in 2025.

Old:

👨‍💻 My Reckoning - This post is part two from my book “108: The Story of Earth’s Consciousness.” Part one explains the first part of Knhoeing, celestial consciousness. Part two is my personal story from the time I graduated from college in 2010 until 2019 and explains why I think there is celestial consciousness. Knhoeing 2020 is a necessary prerequisite to understanding this story.

New:

💡CanAndWillDo.com 2024 - This is what I have written for the Intro of the book so far. This is the philosophy of possibility, perseverance, and sucess. I break down the philosophy of “Can and Will Do.” In the 🛠️2019 version, I discuss the “Can,” meaning you’re able and have the right mindset, and the “will” that drives us to action. I also briefly talk about how the philosophy applies to teaching and global warming.

😻My Favorites 2024 - For the last couple of years I have been doing a post that has all my favorite media on it, lIke my favorite late-night host, farming content, overall content, asmr or hip-hop content. It only grew by one list this year. I basically didn’t change about half of it. Here’s some info I forgot the put in… I don’t watch a lot of Justine Rhodes I just know he’s an expert in the field and I won’t unsubscribe. Some of these creators are my favorite but I don’t ever see them like Casey Neistat. He’s technically still creating, but he’s farther down the list because he’s not currently “running.” I watch a lot of the Creative Juice podcast I realized, which is hip-hop artist education. I love KallmeKris and her boyfriend’s videos, especially when they do videos together, but I don’t watch much of Kris anymore cuz she’s always doing crime content. I like Oompavile though. Rap Latte is also suddenly growing on me.

🏓 Spotify is a racket - Spotify keeps fining me for fake streams when I don’t buy them. In this post, I explain how Spotify is a racket that uses trickery to steal money from small artists. This is affecting many artists and I’m standing up for us all. I’m doing this to create a public case against Spotify and will be making a new post every time I get hit with “fake streams.”

Sociology:

🏚️FarmingHumans.com 2023 - This was the “American Inequality” song officially released in 2023 and posted as the official Farming Humans 2023 edition. In this post I talk about what socialism is, how money is speech, and how corporations are legal persons and farming humans for labor and money (through employment and consumption respectively).

🧾NouveauEconomics.com 2022 - In this post, I talk about how the economy needs to account for what the environment does naturally and give it a monetary value. A start is how certain parts of the environment, like Lake Erie, are being granted personhood. This will be updated semi-annually and can be found at NouveauEconomics.com

🍱 The Psycho Consumption Cage 2021 - In this treatise, I talk about how it’s hard to see environmental degradation that is not added to our economics, how you should be using your buying power strategically, how apex species need economic and congressional representation, some solutions, and examples of psycho tendencies from Christmas and hip-hop.

🏳️‍🌈 Gender Equality 2021 - In this essay, I break down gender equality into six categories: LGBTQ, Phobic, Sexual, Mental, Feminist, and Economic. To properly show the subject of gender equality I reference the 6 Netflix documentaries and linked and discuss related videos from Ellen, HeForShe, TED, Jordan Peterson, The World Bank, and the UN.

🏁 Dark Racism 2021 - In this treatise, I explain the science of racism, how it’s an arbitrary distinction that is socially constructed. Black people do have it worse due to institutionalized racism and white privilege. However, I talk about how black people create their own in-group morality around the word “nigga,” and my presented solution.  

🌎👣 Earth: Sustainability, How To Save Our Planet - If you want to know how to save our planet this post is the summation. Taking from the featured WWF video, I focus on a carbon tax and the three ways to save the planet. Along the way I discuss how it relates to The Psycho Consumption Cage.

Philosophy: 

🌍108 The Story Of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness (post) - This book is fundamental to understanding me and stands as the foundation in which I build my artistry. The book is nonfiction and autobiographical and about celestial consciousness, my personal story of struggling with schizoaffective disorder, atmospheric consciousness, sustainability, and eugenics, and finishes with what the number 108 means for the origins of life on Earth.

🚸🚜 Knhoeing 2020 -  The information is broken down into celestial consciousness, atmospheric consciousness, sustainability, and eugenics. Knhoeing states the planets, stars, and atmosphere are alive, and how humans can understand that through sustainability and eugenics. Knhoeing has to do with understanding your position in the universe and expresses and addresses human purpose through a eugenics goal. To survive & thrive as a species, we must support ourselves through healthy sustainability and breed to understand higher dimensions. 

🙏Sentientism 2022 - This post contains insights into my mind and the voice in my head, Gaia. Sentientism explores the belief (whereas knhoeing is the knowledge) that Gaia is conscious and communicating. I explain how sentientism is the religion of Gaia where you worship through action and create dogma through science and philosophy. If the planet Earth is conscious how would she try to communicate considering she has no mouth or ligaments? How would Gaia try to communicate? I postulate and explain how Gaia could be communicating through a kind of telepathic randonauting.

House Atreides - Return to the Dune (Harkonnen mix).mp3 by House Atreides / Young da Ground / SMDJ recordz The House Harkonnen is one of the Great and mighty Houses of the Empire, the sworn enemy of the House Atreides, led by Siridar-Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and his nephews Glossu "The Beast" Rabban and Feyd-Rautha with the capital on the planet Giеdi Prime. In contrast to the nobility and honor of the Atreides, the Harkonnens used any means to achieve their goals - from bribery and blackmail to murder and betrayal, without disdaining to use them even against each other, within their family (For example, an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Feyd-Rautha on his uncle Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and the killing of father by Rabban). Tempted in intrigue, the Harkonnens entered into a secret alliance with Emperor Shaddam IV in order to permanently crack down on the Atreides, to seize the monopoly on the extraction of spice on Arrakis and thereby become the most influential and wealthy House in the Empire. But the killing of the Duke Leto by the Harkonnens and the defeat of the House of Atreides led to the fact that around the fleeing children and the Duke's wife (Paul, Alia and Jessica Atreides) rallied Fremen of Dune, who subsequently destroyed the troops of the Harkonnens and their allies sardaukars invading Arrakis, resulting in House Harkonnen was completely exterminated. *This is a reload of the track, because the first version was too slow

“Big Carbon” is track two from “The Industry” album. I am re releasing this album as singles. So this is my 90th release and 156th track published. The track features Kook G Rap and Duce Mcguire. The beat is by Anno Domini and The track was produced by Keyano. The cover art is a royalty free image.

I read this blog post in the latest Sunday Update, Follow Lyceum Recordz on YouTube for more. Or follow on Instagram where I shoot the updated live at 9 am est on sundays 

90% of carbon emissions in the atmosphere over that last ten years have come from 3 products, gas, oil, and coal. I call the industry for these products, “big carbon.” This is a conscious song that is designed to be a piece to the puzzle that raises awareness for how Big Carbon is destroying the planet. Make no mistake, we are in Earth’s 6th mass extinction event thanks to Big Carbon.

It would be one thing for Big Carbon to say “Oh we didn’t know, so we’ll change.” It’s another be fully aware and not stop and say “No were not polluting the earth, and if we are it’s the public’s fault” while lobbying to block energy solutions. Like I talk about in the song, we should be throwing these people in jail, not promoting them to high powers in government. 

This is what’s happening right now. Big carbon are some of the largest corporations in the world and make billions of dollars in profit. They give that money to shareholders, which doesn’t get taxed in America due to unchecked inequality, and they leave that money to their heirs. I talk about how Big Oil is blocking energy solutions in the “Global Warning” album that comes out in Febuary 2025. 

They have created family dynasties that destroy the Earth. This is why Blue hates them and wishes terrible things upon their family. Meanwhile these families use their money to lobby the government for more power. 

We should be giving the atmosphere rights and the extinction perpetrators should be facing a trial using torte law. Until that happens, and we change the economic doctrine to sustainability instead of infinite expansion we’ll keep on making the Earth uninhabitable and be pushing toward our own extinction.
