the porous city - music - mp3s |
This is Lukas Bergstrom's personal weblog. You might want to visit my professional site. You can also find me on Twitter, Bluesky, and LinkedIn.
I'd like to be able to play my library of mp3s without opening the laptop, but when I think about using a phone or tablet with some kind of iTunes-like interface (Microsoft Access for music!) I get depressed.
There's gotta be a better way. Somewhere at the intersection of existing public curation a la Discogs (genre/style assignments, album lists), a hypothetical Wikipedia/Allmusic mashup, and a kind of conceptual theme library that overlays different viewpoints on music history and how artists relate to each other ... and ideally a visual experience to match. I've always thought that an ideal music player would actually transform the entire music player, and perhaps your surrounding environment, to match the music being played. A grotty punk club. A swank hotel bar. Coincidentally Apple's Vision Pro comes out this year.

Laurel Halo

So now Brooklyn is turning out awesome electro-techno. Not fair.
That's some OG New York synth wizard, Oneohtrix Point Never in the middle and Laurel Halo to his right.
Summer gets deeper
red planet red planet red planet red planet red planet red planet red planet
Welcome to Earth, Alex - a Red Planet mix. Red Planet is a totally unique brand of techno. It probably won't convert you if you hate techno, but if you've ever enjoyed music by that name this is a must-listen.
Late night links
- What does 200 calories look like?
- The Cloud Player (build Soundcloud playlists, listen to playlists created by others, hot tracks, etc)
- RadioClouds (pick an artist and get an explosion of related artists - as watson puts it, "for rapid breadth first discovery")
- so percussionlab has all these x-mixes posted now
Wicked sci-fi from before you were born
"Hosts ELISHA SESSIONS and MARK SINKER and their astounding guests burrow insensibly into the pulp and avant-garde science fiction of 1935-1975." Readings from and discussions of a bunch of science fiction short stories. There's a podcast link to the completed series, but, irritatingly, no link to see a list of all the episodes. So:
Wish they'd done a Zelazny story.
- Episode 1: John W. Campbell, "Who Goes There"
- Episode 2: Fritz Leiber, "A Pail of Air"
- Episode 3: Isaac Asimov, "Segregationist"
- Episode 4: Donald Malcom, "Beyond the Reach of Storms"
- Episode 5: Donald Wandrei, "The Red Brain"
- Episode 6: Ray Bradbury, "A Sound of Thunder"
- Episode 7: Frank Herbert, "A Tactical Saboteur"
- Episode 8: Howard Schoenfeld, "Build Up Logically"
- Episode 9: Robert Sheckley, "Zirn Left Unguarded, The Jenghik Palace in Flames, Jon Westerley Dead"
- Episode 10: J.G. Ballard, "Track 12"
- Episode 11: Samuel R. Delany, "Aye, and Gomorrah"
- Episode 12: Arsen Darnay, "Such Is Fate"
- Episode 13: Brian Aldiss, "All the World's Tears"
- Episode 14: Thomas M. Disch, "The Squirrel Cage"
- Episode 15: Ursula Le Guin, "Things"
- Episode 16: Arthur C. Clarke, "The Forgotten Enemy"
Wish they'd done a Zelazny story.
These mixes look absolutely sick. The page design, I mean. The icons are so pretty.

2step mix
latest episode in the bloggariddims podcast is a selection of classic 2step garage. if the R&B flourishes don't put you off, some great beats and basslines here. (personally, i love R&B, but i know a lot of people who hate it with a deep and enduring hate.)

Thanks Ewan
This mix is pretty much the only thing between me and the pit right now. If you've been hoping Ewan Pearson would go back to the dreamy, gorgeous style from Sci.Fi.Hi.Fi, this one's for you. And the track "hatchback - white diamond (prins thomas disco miks part 1)" made me want to get it on vinyl and inflict my DJing on the world again, which hasn't happened in, shit ... long time.
OiNK is bacon
- Busted (scroll down)
- Where to now?
OiNK was a private bittorrent site for music. If I had been an OiNK user who had stolen many tons of music through it, I would be mourning it right now. On the other hand, it's useful to question the "yeah man FUCK the record companies" view on digital rights. Musicians gotta eat, yo.
(There's got to be a better discussion of that issue somewhere...)
If I donate a few thousand dollars to a musicians' pension fund, can I be absolved of guilt?
Careful ... a little goes a long way.
The Avalanches have a new mixtape up for download, the Yoga Mind Meld Relaxation Tape. If you don't have their LP "Since I Left You", you now have your album for summer 2007.
With absolutely no justification other than the fact that it's > 20 minutes long and has street noise, I'm hoping this is the "...and the day turned to night" of microhouse.
I'm wary. Great speaker + good book is better than bad speaker + great book.
Random cool stuff on a Friday
Downloads and discussion of lectures, speeches etc.
Blog posting mp3s of wonderful music you've never heard.
Wizard
Bunch of old Jeff Mills Wizard mixes digitized from tapes made from '86-'89 off Detroit radio, ready to download. I am told they feature sick mixing and scratching, mostly hip-hop with some electro, funk ...
Finally got around to listening. Like I said somewhere else, "UNBELIEVABLE mixing and scratching. It's like you're listening to him invent electronic dance music on the fly. Which I guess is exactly what he's doing."

Kocky
Sasha Frere-Jones says to download this mix by Kocky. Sadly I do whatever Sasha tells me to, so ok.
Every rave tape stuffed into the glove compartment of every gray 1990 Corolla, back seat littered with flyers, currently sitting in a parking lot in western Mass, now online.
That's right, it's "sound art". I'm a glutton for punishment...
Dr. benchun sez if you don't get a steady diet of breakbeats your brain loses plasticity and your imagination and sex drive suffer. Take two of these.
Holy shit, I guess I'm still feeling idm. (I re-discover this like once a month.) di Luca takes yr favorite hip-hop and crunchy idm beats and puts em together in a yummy goo ... hey, where are you going?
Ok how about this: he drops a Paul's Boutique track, pretty much un-fucked-with, and it sounds right at home in the mix.

"Made entirely with double-cassette decks and Steinski's extensive vinyl collection, these three tracks paved the way for current cut-and-paste turntablist experimentation. Countless basement DJs were influenced by The Lessons, including DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, who both released unofficial tributes called 'Lesson Four.'"

update: Double Dee clears things up in the comments section:
Just to set the record straight we used a turntable, a mono reel to reel, a 2 track reel to reel and an 8 track reel to reel machine. Using cassette decks would have been like a ballerina dancing with construction boots.update two: Yeah, I'm namedropping.
