[Links go to Bandcamp pages when available, or YouTube videos.]

I don't always like the way Last.fm calculates top artists/albums/songs based solely on play count. For example, SUSS only hit my top 10 because I heard they were an "ambient country" group (!?!) and listened to nearly every one of their albums available on Bandcamp over the course of just a few days. That Dekmantel Ten compilation, I only listened to twice all year, but it's 43 tracks so it's counted as a lot of hits for top album. I was definitely obsessed with the new Fatboy Slim song, though, I played that all the time. (And the video for that song is, so far, the only time I've seen an apparently AI-"enhanced" artwork and felt that it was actually an interesting use of AI as a creative tool.)

In recent years, my most common thing to listen to (besides ambient drones) is an infrequently updated playlist called Kitchen Dance Party, which I play while I'm cooking and/or cleaning. It's mostly dance pop/rock, hip-hop, and mashups, obvs. Occasionally I add or remove songs as my interest wanes or I discover something new, but most of the tracks on that playlist are perennial faves always guaranteed to boost my mood, and as such they also totally throw off my Last.fm stats (e.g., Electric Six's album making the top 10 even though I only listen to a couple songs off that record that are on my Kitchen Dance Party playlist).

Other new-to-me stuff I really liked in 2024 but which did not make the Last.fm cut:

Dax Riggs - "deceiver" (2024) [NEW DAX ALBUM COMING JANUARY 25 OMFG]

DJ Latinchat - Tagadá EP (2024)

Indian Ropeman - Elephantsound (1996)

GAS - GAS (2024)

The Olivia Tremor Control - "Garden of Light" & "The Same Place" (2024)

PITRELEH - PITRELEH (2013)

Various Artists - Meditation: Classical Relaxation [this is a 10-CD set I found at America's Thrift for $5.99! In completing this entry, I noticed that Last.fm hadn't counted all these plays under the same album title, and when I edited the metadata, this actually became my #1 album of 2024, even though I only listened to the whole thing (101 tracks) once lol]

Various Artists - Tandava vol. 2 (mixed and compiled by Pathaan)

[tiagssssspace]

Balapan Gores Paha (1)

Halo marathon, Halo paha dan lateral armpit kiri kegores nyeri nyeri mboten sedap.

Mandiri Jogja Marathon, kata pembawa acara, ini udah berlangsung sejak 2017. Tahun ke-6. Start finish prambanan, jalur no kota kota jogja club, tapi naik naik ke gunung yes, mantapbos. Kalo mau cerita, seperti biasa, kita mulai dari... Halo Marathon, Halo paha... wkwkwk canda, dari daftar.

Pendaftaran - Persiapan

Sebenere, aku ga kepikiran ikut krn agak meragukan dari persiapan acaranya yang kalo dibandingin sama bormar, keliatan banget lebih meriah dan well prepared bormar, jauh, konten ig nya, rangkaian acaranya, desainnya, dsb, plus kedua biar hemat, karena uangnya duluan mau buat daftar bormar.

Tapi saat itu, suhu Aiman al jogjawi, tbtb meng pc wa, dan mengajak. Tanpa panjang kalam, ya gas lah bro. Mendadak alasan di paragraf sebelum ini ditiadakan wkwkwk, tp yg kedua engga, poko e harus dapet early bird satu! biar lebih murmer. 400k, bajunya dua, anduk, jajanan poko e akeh, pijet, foto, banyak poko nya. Insyaa allah untuk standar race kelas internasional, murmer. Oke lanjut.

Oleh harganya yg murmer, pendaftaran early bird, tida semudah itu ferguso. Ya benar kawanku, selain karena habisnya cuepet, proses pembeliannya diiringi dengan erorr wkwkwk. Dan errornya ga dikasi tau sampe kapan. Sebagai masyarakat netizen yang cukup terkenal kurang terlalu bijak wkwkwk hal ini saaaangat cukup untuk memunculkan komen negatif netizen indonesia di insta wkwk. Namun, berkat hasil komen juga, ada satu akun yg mengabarkan bahwa kemungkinan buka lagi sekitar pukul 3 dan bener, alhamdulillah dapet secure 1 tiker FM EB 1. Cuma satu? Iya cuma satu, Mas Aiman karo masku belom. Padahal aku yang diajak. asem :)

Akhirnya cerita pendaftaran pun berlanjut. Akibat punya akun livin mandiri (baru bikin H-1 tet buka pendaftaran EB 1, karena khusus EB cuma bisa pake Livin') saya pun menjadi calo dadakan dua org tersebut. Alhamdulillah pertama beli, izi pizi. Baru yang kedua, atas nama Mas Aiman... asemm entekkkk! agak panik, mulai tremor, tp harap harap cemas, karena statusnya masi fully booked, bukan sold out. Refresh terossss, sambil doa tbtb ada yg batal daftar wkwk. Setelah 40 menit refresh, dor, dapet, asal pilih ukuran baju yang ada, langsung isi data pake tangan tangan bergetar, satset dasdes, 2 tiket HM EB 2 diamankan. Yak, sami sami mas mas, sami sami, tf aja ini rekening ku... wkwkwk ora ora canda, tp nek mas aiman emg ngasi duit terima kasih sih... yakkk... mari lanjut cerita ngehe wkwkwk

Singkat cerita sembari menunggu hari H, ya biasa lari lari, target 200km milleage smp Hari H. kayak e kecapaian, atau hampir yak wkwkwk lupa. Sampai di puncaknya, pun sekalian menunaikan target sejak 2020 lalu (cerita lari ke ibbas ada sendiri), mari coba lari ke Ibbas, buat cek son penderitaan lari 30++ kilometer wkwkwk. Alhamdulillah latian terakhir emang ada gunanya, terutama menyadarkan untuk melakukan strength training dan stretching, yg kemudian langsung praktik di rabu kamisnya, yang pula adalah pertama dan kedua kalinya latian strength yg dilakukan selama masa persiapan, awikwok. Eh ya selain dari munggah gunung slamet dan tektok lawu (ini masing2 juga ada ceritanya). Yang ternyata, gatau emg pengaruh apa ngga wkwk tp pas Hari H, larinya lebih nyaman, walau elevasinya wkwkwk nguengggg. Yak lanjut lagi!

Pre Race

Yak maafkan kami orang Solo yang emang otw jogja nya baru H-1 karena ada KRL dan ga perlu aklimatisasi, yo rak perlu lah wkwkwkwk. Ngentekke duit wae lunga tambah suwe awikwok.

Naik KRL dari Palur sekitar pukul 2.45 sampe Lempuyangan kurleb jam 4. Alhamdulillah setelah beberapa kali naik KRL, kali ini ful senyum karena ful duduk. Sampe sono, nunggu mas Aiman njemput. Mau solat gatau musholla dimana. Akhirnya, jemputan datang, langsung otw masjid solat ashar, lanjut maghrib, sama Isya. Baru habis itu ke Rumah e mas aiman.

Alhamdulillah, setelah perjalanan kita ful berpuasa, no fud, no dring. Tanpa fafifu, "nek kowe melu mangan keluargaku... sans tapi ngko mejane rodok pisah, pie?" wah, *sambilposememepakenanya, wkwkwk. Walau mungkin terkadang dalam pertanyaan macam ini, kami menjawab dengan so soan merasa ga enak atau beberapa mungkin sok menolak dan mempertanyakan keyakinan penawar "yakin?", sebenarnya kami nyaman alhamdulillah, dan tida menolak 😊 hatur nuhun nggih mas jamuannya.

Sebelum berangkat narok barang dulu, rapi rapi, dan tentu, melihat race pack kesayangan kami. Ebuset, ada baju, ebuset ada permen, ebuset ada anduk, ebuset permen lagi, ebuset ada rexona, ebuset permen lagi, ebusettt.. eh permen lagi? ya benar permennya 4 bungkus, trus yang lain, fitbar, isotonik drink, suplemen, salonpas, salonlonggar... lucuuu lucuuu, salongakpas? ngelucuuu meneh... brosur2, dan tentunya BIB A19463, iki pasti kerja sama karo UNS, angka BIB awalku 19 masku karo mas Aiman 17, fix pake NIM. aowkwokwk ya kali. Ga lama, ngobrol, langsung gas madyang.

Kita makan di Resto Sayaaa! ehm, maksudnya Resto Galih, pake i, bukan Y, aih kecewa dikit. dan singkat Cerita, Subhaanallah Maasyaa allah Tabaarakallahh, inilah yang namanya ni'mal hayaaah, ayam bakar, lalapan, nasi, jus melon lemon yang seghar, dan tentunya sambel, yang ga direkomendasikan untuk dimakan saat malam sebelum race *sedihtapitetepdipangansitik.

Lagi makan baru kelar, melayang ikan tepung dan biasa beserta saus dan lalapan kol setengah bunder nder, beuh, mantap boi, pesta ni, tinggal besok paginya aja, sampe ga pamit keluar, apalagi malah mengadakan apel dadakan saat race, beuh, maaf kawan, walau mungkin kalian hanyalah makan malam kami, jangan salahkan kami kalo ada satu dua dendam yang tersimpan dalam hati. Dan... ya benar, itulah yang sempet terjadi menjelang race dimulai, dan toilet? wahh, jangan kira saya sendiri kawann, ini adalah serangan. massal! serangan fajar! ini adalah apel serentak dadakan! dan kami pun sebagai manusia sampai harus memeriahkan apel baris rapi di tiap pos pos toilet terdekat. Luar biasa. Dan sayangnya saat itu, saya belum antri sehingga dihadapkan dalam sebuah dilemma, ngantri dan menuntaskan apel makan malam kemarin, tapi nyusul mulai racenya? apa sebaliknya? berbekal, motto, race hanya sekali, tapi bab bisa berkali kali, dengan penuh ketegaran jiwa dan raga, mengencangkan sfingter ani, kulangkahkan kaki, menjemput mimpi, sembari merapal doa untuk kelancaran race hari ini tanpa ke✨jatuh✨an yang berarti *emotmarahsambilmenahan

Oiya, jadi kelewatan kan karena keasikan cerita apel pagi wkwkwkwk, jadi habis makan, pulang, sebelum tidur, kita foto fomo gear dululah biar eksis, cekrak cekrek, edit dikit, sikatan, tidur sambil doa, semoga... besok... dapet... foto yang bagus 😘 dan finish strong wkwkwk

*lanjut

Dan tibalah diri ini di start line, melakukan pemanasan kecil, sambil memandangi sepatu indah para pelari lain dengan tatapan, yang kali ini, ahahaa sans, punya gw jg udah upgrade bro, biar w kasi tau, (baca pelan tegas per katanya oke? biar lebih dapet feelnya) NewBalance... FuelCell... Rebel... V3... slebeu. Siap terabas nike vaporfly alphafly, yeah (Walau km 30+ kaki mulai teriak juga akhirnya). Lanjut, dibuka dengan Menyanyikan Indonesia Raya, 3, 2, 1. Dor!

Bendera dikibarkan, Balapan dimulai.

Lanjut part 2 : Race - Post Race

[tightbrosnetwork]

Tight Bros Network is a concert promotion company based in Atlanta that has been operating since 1999. It was founded by Randy Castello and Unisa Asokan in the basement of the eyedrum art & music gallery, located on Trinity Avenue in southwest Atlanta. Where they had the opportunity to learn how to book shows and work with experimental artists, local musicians, and touring artists from North America and abroad.

In 2001, Tight Bros Network was officially launched, and the company expanded its shows to local clubs The Earl, MJQ, Drunken Unicorn, and Star Bar. The company’s mission has always been to support and promote independent artists and provide a platform for experimental and emerging musicians.

In March of 2004, Tight Bros Network founded the Kirkwood Ballers Club, an open-forum arts incubator and a haven for adventurous experiments in music. The Kirkwood Ballers Club has been a staple destination in the Atlanta music scene for two decades and has provided countless musicians with the opportunity to showcase their artistry.

Spanning July 2004 to 2008, Tight Bros Network served as talent purchasers for popular subterranean ATL entertainment complex, Drunken Unicorn & MJQ. During this period, we worked tirelessly to bring larger national and international artists and DJs to the city. We developed a reputation for booking high-quality shows that catered to the local music scene’s evolving tastes. The experience gained from working with such big artists as Diplo, Four Tet, and Animal Collective to name a few helped us to grow our network and reputation as a top indie concert promotion company in Atlanta. It also set our foundation and enabled us to expand into other local clubs and concert venues.

Tight Bros Network has received numerous accolades over the years, including being voted Best Local Concert Promoter in 2006, 2007, and 2008 by Creative Loafing, Atlanta.

In November of 2008, we switched gears to help our friends book bands at 529, a small club, unknown at the time, located in East Atlanta Village, where we helped nurture a bright local music scene for eight years and played a crucial role in developing 529’s reputation as a premier venue for live music in Atlanta.

During this period, we expanded our reach by booking events at larger venues, such as Variety Playhouse, Terminal West, Center Stage, Plaza Theatre and Goat Farm. We expanded our roster to include comedy events.

Additionally, we partnered with companies like Red Bull and PBR as curators for events featuring emerging artists from around the world. We were also afforded the opportunity to book musical acts for Adult Swim’s Fishcenter live stream (RIP).

In 2016 we returned to Drunken Unicorn where we booked shows until March 2020 when the Covid pandemic hit forcing us to abruptly cease operating at the venue. It was a dark time for live music.

In 2020, when the live music scene was disrupted due to the pandemic, Tight Bros Network shifted its focus to managing Upchuck, a young band from Atlanta that is starting to gain national attention due to its raucous live shows and compelling releases.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Tight Bros Network has continued to support the Atlanta music scene and provide a platform for emerging artists to showcase their talents.

In the summer of 2021, we helped open eyedrum art & music gallery’s new location in the West End on Ralph David Abernathy Blvd, where we now host Kirkwood Ballers Club on the third Thursday of each month, continuing their avant-garde monthly forum at the art and music gallery where it all began.

[bachmankingoverdrive]

Today we'll be taking a look at the Gwendy's series. I absolutely adore this trilogy.

Originally published in 2017, Gwendy's Button Box was actually cowritten by King and Richard Chizmar. I'll be using my Gallery Books Trade Paperback (2017) ISBN 978-1-5011-8829-9

This series is set in Castle Rock and is peppered front to back with Mr. Richard Farris.... RF... aka Mr. Randall Flagg. First introducing himself in Chapter One, page 11.

Gwendy and her use of the titular Button Box is the direct cause of both the Jonestown Massacre* (Chaper 11, page 73) and the collapse of the Suicide Stairs. This event is mentioned in other recent books that are based in Castle Rock such as Elevation. Chapter 22, page 121

The second book in the trilogy was written solely by Richard Chizmar, and was published in 2019. It will be included in my list because... well I want to, and I think that it just makes sense in the scheme of every other Castle Rock book. I'll be using my Gallery Books trade Paperback (2020) ISBN 978-1-9821-3972-8

Just one single heap of a paragraph has all the Castle Rock references a person could want, Frank Dodd (Dead Zone), Cujo, and the fire from Needful Things. Chapter 28, Page 70

Lastly we've got Final Task, again cowritten by Chizmar and King. Published 2022. I'll be using my Cemetary Dance Trade Hardcover (2022) ISBN 978-1-58767-801-1

Starting off strong with the Dark Tower sneaky references. The TET Corporation and the Many Flags space station. Chapter One and Two, pages 7-10

Next we've got Pennywise (Chapter 17, page 113), and a reference to the Black Spot incident from the 1930's (Chapter 7, page 43)

We've also got confirmation that while in the hands of another person, the Button Box caused COVID. Which will connect Holly, and I'm sure others in the future. (Chapter 13, page 83)

And lastly we've got the introduction of the "Low men" and what I will be calling, the "Low cars". These connect us to the Dark Tower, Hearts in Atlantis, From a Buick 8. (Chapter 22, page 172)

This trilogy has so much going on and is so interconnected, I know that I have missed many conections. I will be revisiting this in the future and will definitely update this when I do.

Long Days and Pleasant Nights,

Vir

*This event has many connections, including one that I am hesitant to include. Which is 11/22/63 as the altering of the past has not stopped this event from happening, but has worsened it. The death toll mentioned in the alternate future being significantly higher than before.

Life´s too short for weird music Tagesempfehlung 14.04.2024

Sunday Album Club: Four Tet / Three 

Track: 31 Bloom

Three ist bereits das 15. Studioalbum von Kieran Miles David Hebden aka Four Tet. Das am 15.03.2024 erschienene Three ist ein weitgehend introspektives Album mit wunderbaren elektronischen Minimalismen und ätherischen Soundkompostionen. Was dem Album leider ein weing abgeht, ist die Klarheit und vielleicht auch hier und da ein bisschen der Mut die eigenen Grenzen etwas nach vorn zu schieben. Grenzen verschieben ist bei Soundtüftler Hebden in den letzten 20 Jahren aber hoch gegriffen und ohnehin regelmäßig Programm gewesen. So ist Three vielleicht auch mal der Zeitpunkt zur Konsollidierung. Und die meisten der acht Exponate auf Three sind einer Selbstreflexion zuträglich, stellen diese in einem klassischen Brian Eno Kontext Umgebungsmusik – Ambient dar. Allerdings nicht beatless sondern zumeist in gedämpftem Tempo. Richtig spannend wird Three immer dann wenn Kieran Hebden das Tempo hochschraubt wie etwa im hypnotischen Daydream Repeat (Tagestipp 24.02.2024). Und auch das für mich beste Albumstück 31 Bloom ist ein wunderbarer Electrominimalismus mit kickendem Beat und den wohl feinsten Synthie Sounds, die ich dieses Jahr bisher zu hören bekommen habe. Gutes Album - und zur richtiges Tages/Nachtzeit eingesetzt entfaltet Three durchaus seine Wirkung. Wenngleich Three im Vergleich zu den grandiosen Vorgängern New Energy (2017) und Sixteen Oceans (2020) vorsichtig formuliert unter die Rubrik „solide“ einzustufen wäre.
