Fuck all Nazis.
Mixes, since 2008. (Plus urbanism, cats, silly Lego robots, anti-fascism, photography, veganism, anti-cars, my music, etc.)

I did a softcover print run of my book of Lego robots, 'Planet Robotica'. They turned out really nicely! If you'd like a copy, they're $26 each plus shipping, just let me know.
Here's a PDF version if you'd like to stay minimalist:

Spotify adds lossless music – but it’s not part of a superfan tier
"Lossless music is now on Spotify Premium," announced the company this afternoon. So what does that mean for its superfan-tier plans?

This "tiny vinyl" gimmick loses the one advantage records have over CDs--bigger artwork.
Hopefully if this has any impact, it'll be to get young folks off their vinyl(s) and into discovering the much more affordable, versatile, more sustainable, and more cost-effective to produce world of CDs.
Format is “more aligned with how artists are making and releasing music in the streaming era.”…
Talked to a few Chicagoans about bailing on Spotify
Spotify was already a blight on music, and now CEO Daniel Ek is investing in AI weaponry. Chicagoans are joining an exodus from the platform.
The real kick in the teeth of heartbroken depression the last few years is that I can't feel music the way I had my whole life, and I've thus been less driven to discover. But this mix reminds me of the spark, when I had the strength to fight.

The beautiful, amazing sounds of the decade of a year that was 2020
This mix of my favorite music of 2020--five years, almost six ago, feels like weeks, and also decades. So much incredible music being made in that year, when things were so terrible but it also felt like there could be an akwakening. Need it now.
