one of the great things about bandcamp is that it tells you not only how many other people have bought an album but links to their profiles, so you can quantify how stupidly niche an album you like is.

Two other guys own this album on bandcamp, that's it.

I still pronounce "misled" as if it were a tense of the verb "to misle"

Lafeu. No, no, no, your son was misled with a snipt-taffeta fellow there, whose villanous saffron would have made all the unbaked and doughy youth of a nation in his colour: your daughter-in-law had been alive at this hour, and your son here at home, more advanced by the king than by that red-tailed humble-bee I speak of.

Last Monday of the Week 2023-11-06

It was Bandcamp Friday so I'll open with a rundown.

Listening: One song per album let's go

Do The Hate by MiSLeD, off TERRORTORIES, a deeply uncomfortable sounding song.

I originally picked up MiSLeD's acoustic album a few Fridays ago and took a while to come around on their unbelievably blunt and hyperlocal style. A sledgehammer through Johannesburg concrete, I have come to love 'em. Do the Hate has an aggressive chant that makes it genuinely kind of uncomfortable to listen to and also extremely fun to yell along with.

The Length of the Chain by Chamber Mage, off their 2022 demo tape and thus far their only album release unless you go see them live.

I picked these guys up off I think the Topic Lords podcast? Solid reliable heavy metal. Can't wait to see their first full album, they're from Denver so if you're from that part of the world definitely find out if they're playing.

All On Fire by Double Sun, from the album of the same name, Pretoria boys playing bluesy punk.

One of the last bands I saw in Johannesburg before I moved. I had the three-part Dead Wreck Beach stuck in my head for a good long while. I'm still not sure what it is about Gauteng that produces so many psychedelic punk bands but I'm not complaining.

Two Jack de Quidt albums, soundtracks from Friends at the Table which I have been getting really into.

First up, The Tower, As Built By The Divine Candidate Chital, from the soundtrack for COUNTER/weight, meditative track to match the meditative and still incomplete two-player game The Tower.

Apperances of The Tower in F@TT games are always great. It's a game that the GM and composer have been working on forever and they get really, really into it.

Next, gotta be Marielda, from the season of the same name. The clarinet from this is so memorable.

The intro tracks to every game are obviously the ones you hear the most, and they're all bangers.

All Through the Night [Patrick's Version], from the Titus Andronicus demotape for their most recent album The Will to Live. Rough cuts from studio sessions.

I adore The Will to Live, when I'm honest I really don't care much for most of Titus Andronicus's work other than The Monitor and now The Will to Live. These are good at capturing what I like about live performances: performers going ham and not necessarily performing well but definitely performing the most.

And lastly, Threshold from sungazer, off the album Perihelion. This was an experimental piece combining rhythms at both extremes of human perception, with the overall rhythm of the song being as slow as possible with individual bars being impossibly fast.

There's a whole Adam Neely video on it, because he's one part of sungazer.

Alright on to the rest of the show:

Reading: Back into The Count of Monte Cristo, rapidly seeing the roots of many other stories I've read crystalize into this genre, most notable Eoin Colfer's Airman.

Watching: The various Hackaday talks that have been uploaded over the past week, some good ones lately like A Hacker's Guide to Audio and Video Formats.

Playing: on Saturday evening I finished making dinner and sat down to play Titanfall 2 from the start because for some reason my save was incomplete and I figured I'd just start over. And then it was two in the morning and I had beaten Titanfall 2. Great game.

Making: Abortive attempts at designing some adapters for my vacuum cleaner because I realized I took my reference images wrong and had to start over, fortunately before I wasted any filament.

Also Hack Week at work, so I'm working on some original code with two much, much more experienced python developers, which if nothing else is a good learning experience.

Tools and Equipment: Modern text editor configuration systems can be rigged to almost completely bootstrap themselves if given an internet connection. You should use this to your advantage. I use lazy.nvim in bootstrap mode now and it's so easy.

Side note, nvim's lua configuration mode is real nice, major improvement over vimscript when you want to do anything complicated. Sorry Tim Pope.

Data's capacity to not take things personally

And the human capacity to become schizophrenic

Was data capable of becoming schizophrenic?

Humans can become overrun with interpreting events in two or more ways

You can burn out when being gaslit

Because you don't want to believe that people are just fucking with you

Do machines only have straight paradoxes?

Can they compute the presence of intentions to deceive them?

Can they still compute these intentions when they're illogical?

(contradictory and inconsistent)

When stupid people believe they're doing good things because they want to believe in their own righteousness, even though they believe that the bad thing they're doing is good, and they take pleasure from it, reinforced by others, where is the simple paradox?

How do you engage?

Steve loves his car. He cares for it diligently. This means that every other Sunday, weather permitting, he puts on his "get shit done" clothes (old pair of cut-off shorts and a tank top) and washes his car. Every two weeks, like clockwork.

And every two weeks, like clockwork, Eddie parks himself in a lawn chair in the shade and watches his boy bend and stretch and get a little sweaty and wet, and then entices him inside to reward him for being such a responsible car owner.

(That last bit is the most important part of the process. Obviously.)

Whether it's Marvel's Civil War or the latest season of Invincible, I will always be 100% on the side of the government in its attempts to bring superheroes under the state's authority. If there was a Superman capable of destroying planets and shattering reality, I would hope that the government is spying on him and building up a large strategic reserve of kryptonite. "Oh but he's friendly, he's a good guy with a heart of gold," sure, so was Jean Grey before she had one bad week and started committing galactic genocide. No amount of "the will of the ubermensch is above all democratic accountability" propaganda will ever convince me that Captain America should be able to ignore the UN. I want superhero control for the exact same reason that I want nuclear arms control!
