“Blood Of The Past” by The Comet Is Coming” (2019)

https://songwhip.com/the-comet-is-coming/blood-of-the-past

When looking to cue up the soundtrack of the End Times and later Rebirth, one could do worse than this album from #TheCometIsComing

Spiritual and Cosmic jazz in the tradition of Alice Coltrane and Sun Ra, but with a forward looking focus.

Its an impressive tapestry across the record, each song blending sounds and styles into the next - worth the trip!

#TheCometIsComing

Went in with high expectations as I quite like. 20 minutes in it got turned off. There's only so much hooting one can handle. Made me wish the meteor was coming.

Today's #vinyl delivery:

- Boards of Canada - In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
- The Comet Is Coming - The Planet Must Die
- Dozer - Drifting In The Endless Void

Quite a mix of styles, but the Comet one takes the cake: odd electronica with lots of Jazz bits.

I love the idea of #PsychedelicJazz like I love all #Psychedelia. Anyway I can get it. If you're into #SciFi, you have to check out their trippy ass music videos.

Two trips back into historical Germany today, one a far longer journey than the other ;-)

1. #Bowie live in #Bochum, #Germany 15th June 1983. A nice enough audience recording of a very good show.

2. #TheCometIsComing live on 8th November 2022 in #Mannheim #Germany. Stunning recording, phenomenal set.

Great night last night in Newcastle at the Boiler Shop. The Comet is Coming, supported by Joshua Idehen. Wanted to see this lot for a long while and they didn't disappoint. Shamanic and vital, righteous, loud and uncompromising. Great support, too! #livemusic #gig #thecometiscoming #newcastle

Jeez, #TheCometIsComing were fantastic last night.

OK, an #introduction: dwenius = plord = Paul, been online forever, and have enjoyed it pretty much the whole time. I still miss Usenet; I still mourn LJ (DW is great, but the communities did not transfer the way they seem to be doing with Mastodon?); I'm mildly annoyed at the prospect of losing birdsite, where 15 years of careful follow curation gave me a mostly positive, energizing, low-doom-quotient timeline. So, show me your pets being clowns, or the wildlife in your yard, tell me what you are reading or listening to, boast about your awesome friends and the cool things they did. I'm here for it and will boost.

Currently living in VT with my best beloved @anne, by way of 15 years in S.F. and Berkeley, after quite abruptly fleeing northern VA (perhaps a story for another time..."Gallivanting around the countryside in a state of howling delirium can be highly instructive in myriad ways" - (misquoting) Grant Morrison).

I still talk about my kids like a new father, even though they are 25, 19, and alllllmost 17. I'm told this is endearing? whatevs, not gonna stop now. They are amazing human beings, and I'm so very glad to share this earth with them.

My personal blog went offline quite a while back and I haven't finished the work to resurrect it. I will self host it with Ghost; there are a few technical hurdles left to sort out and free time is scant. At /very/ irregular intervals I am apt to drop a lengthy blog post over at One Post Wonder, a lovely little social site with a one-post-per-day policy, run for many years now by a friend; almost all those are private though, so you'd have to sign up to follow me there. Only you can decide if it's worth it!

I collect music obsessively; my #AmbientHouse, #GoaTrance, #TheOrb, #Ultramarine, and #jamband (several flavors) libraries are approaching reference-quality, and I have literal terabytes of live jazz. I'll listen to almost anything (that is not a request or a challenge...).

Currently in heavy rotation: the latest #Polyphia release "RTYWD", a live #FionaApple concert from 1997, "Flood" by #TMBG (after seeing a great, thrice-COVID-delayed concert a month ago), and "Heads" by #Ott.

Never far from the rotation since they were released (desert island list I guess?): #TheOrb "U.F.Orb", #Ultramarine "Bel Air", #Material "Hallucination Engine", #Yes "Close To The Edge", a #SteveKimockBand live recording from the Great American Music Hall on 12/29/04, and #Seefeel "Quique".

Last concert: #TheCometIsComing
Next concert: #Covet

I could go on (and probably will). I'm 99% likely to spin up a second account on heads.social specifically to segment the music fan stuff...

I play guitar half-decently and modular synth like a relentlessly tinkering gnome, including making my own pedals and synth modules. I have shamelessly copied #SteveKimock's entire rig up to and including the #Two-Rock and handmade #ScottWalker guitars but alas, gear is no substitute for talent. The Modular is built around a set of #Wiard modules from Grant Richter and Cary Grace, and includes a bunch of bespoke 1-of-1 type specialty modules. The most recent adds to the studio are a Koma Komplex sequencer and an Erica Synths DB-01. Most of my output is ephemeral live performances (I'm in parts of https://garciapeoples.bandcamp.com/album/100-years-of-solid-dudes for example) but there will be actual releases here. Soon. This decade for sure. I'm getting closer. While you wait, check out the 30 minute "Quadrone" video in my bio, which was a one-take jam I recorded on the modular for an all-night-stream early on in the pandemic.

I have a separate side-hustle tying custom flies and building heavy duty fly rods for people who enjoy suffer^H^H^H^H^H^H chasing pike, musky, and other large North American apex predator fish (Shop link and IG in bio for the 3 people on earth who may be interested).

That I'm still even here to ramble on like this is thanks to the miracle of modern OTC neurotransmitter catalysts, the gift of several years with an extraordinary therapist, and the love of my family. In hindsight, running away from my problems for several decades was a flawed plan. I'm much better now.

I have been reading less lately, absolutely no good goddamn reason, but I am currently waiting for the next volume of #Monstress, hoping for another Innsmouth Legacy novel from r_emrys@wandering.shop, tracking N.K. Jemisin and @aliettedb releases, and keeping current with #GirlGenius both online and by backing every KS for the print versions.

I do not talk about my job or employer online except for vague complaints about broken software/processes. This is a fertile field for the tilling...

OK done for now. Tootles.
