This is a link post Blert I made this!
A recording of last nights Gravitons livestream.

Blert is an audio-visual musical journey through the mis-remembered past, by Shardcore (Eric Drass). A post-modern plundering of late 20th century detritus. Expect broken beats, deep grooves, unclearable samples and questionable content.

Loads of references and in-jokes that will appeal to the b3tan demographic (i.e. โ€œpeople who remember the 80sโ€)

Headphones recommended. A massive sound system is acceptable, provided itโ€™s turned right down.

Blert accepts no responsibility for unexpected psychotropic effects arising from this transmission.

This is a link post Sensible Band - War I made this!
Things have been a bit rough this year for me but working with Jops and Stoo from Cannon Fodder has made it feel like I must be on the right path somehow.
I loved this game as a kid, I remember loading it up on the amiga for the first time and the music blowing my mind. So much so that i called my mum upstairs listen to it. She didnt give a shit.
It was one of the things that got me interested in making music, along with the c64 sid composers, who these guys worked with back in the day - Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard, Ben Daglish, Richard Joseph - all heroes to me, so working on the video for the rerecording of 'War' was an absolute honour.

This is a link post Vibecoding in Plato's Cave
Thought this was a well reasoned argument about the problems of vibecoding. Framed around a Star Trek: The Next Generation reference for the nerds.

I'd imagine Star Trek fans = AI Doomers, Star Wars fans = AI Boosters, so a good choice.

But I also have very different opinions of AI depending on what it's being used for, so I guess your logic holds!

This is a normal post I adore both, up to a point (the Disney sale for SW and the final episode of ENT for ST)
and all 'AI' can GFO.
What I wanted it to do it either can't, or the reality of it would be slavery.
What we call AI is mostly bad automation and chatbot shittery that's barely more advanced than the IRC chatbots of yesteryear.
It has ruined google search, which is now entirely useless.
Not a month goes by where I don't need to address some aspect of my digital world being enshittified with crappy AI.
Fuck anyone using it for anything as it is functionally unnecessary and unethically inefficient.
I'd be delighted if everyone who can't live without it dropped dead this instant.
The one ethical response to an AI datacentre built near you is to physically destroy it.

This is a link post I've polished a turd from 2007 I made this!
Some of you ancient bastards might remember I occasionally make music. I recently dug up a track I composed and produced entirely in Reason back in 2007 and decided to give it another go.

Before anyone gets the pitchforks out: no, I didn't type "make me an ABBA disco banger" into an AI model and call it a day. The composition, melodies and the harmonies are mine, from 19 years ago. I've used AI to help flesh out the orchestration, which was a right pain in the arse to do convincingly back then. Also tweaked a few chord progressions here and there.

So, 19 years later, here's my unnecessarily elaborate disco nonsense. I made this (mostly)!

Then learn a vst dev system.

This is a normal post Fair enough
I too left a career in SW and am not missing the technical side of it - embedded consumer electronics SW turned into a mostly third party SW integration exercise years ago. However, I would like to do coding where it's needed for hobby projects which so far I've never had enough time for. It's one thing the careers person at school never mentioned - if you enjoy doing something as a hobby you should think carefully about whether you should do it as a career.

This is a normal post Thank goodness you're so open-minded about other people's thought processes.
I can't know for sure if he's the victim of a conspiracy or not, but I do know that any such conspiracy would be so implausible and convoluted that it would be impossible both to execute and to keep secret. I'll copy and paste this comment that someone else posted, because I think it nicely sums it up:

The [conspiratorially-minded] folk have to posit firstly that the Deep State has some reason to be scared of Brand - a mediocre comedian/prat with a podcast. And then to silence him, they have to be competent enough to manouevre in the background without anyone knowing a whole series of witnesses and jury members. But also simultaneously be incompetent/squeamish enough to think that the best way to silence an egomaniac is to give them a very public and time-consuming trial, and imprison them for about 7 years, after which they will be free to go back to riding the grievance train to right-wing grift town. Instead of, for example, having them fall down some stairs and die.

It's not going to be too difficult to encourage some misguided groupie slags from 20 odd years ago to go for the jugular and embellish the facts... especially as they don't even have to name them and all the legal fees are sorted.

From vague memory Brands history was:

late 90's through 2000's coming up cheeky little shit with a similar style to Fielding and everyone seemed to love him and his cheeky ways... bit of a letch but when they practically encouraged such behaviours on loose women multiple times what do you expect :D He got involved in the politics bollocks after the financial crash around 2008 and was dangled everywhere... falling over themselves to interview and in some case ridicule him.

Didn't he do the Trews around this time?? wasn't he still a bit of a lefty on the surface... but spoke of a different way of thinking rather than two party politics bollocks? and then there was the not voting thing... and Paxmans attempt to ridicule?

I remember him deleting the trews stuff... and then he did that podcast style stuff from some house in a village. This is were he started to go against the grain and started with the what you call conspiracy nonsense. I think this is also where he because more aligned to the right in some peoples eyes even though he didn't say this himself. he had such a massive audience and influence something had to be done.

They tried to have his youtube channel demonetised that didn't work... he moved to america and left the house abandoned much to the delight of the urbexers.

so they decided to shut him up with the rapey tit honk stuff.

seems more plausable to than some shadowy cabal looking to stick the knife in at every step of the way.

Anyway... apparently they are after someone else now... this time next year we could be millionaires.
