What I'm listening to today: "Distant Wilderness", Goodie Mob
To close this notional "mixtape", and for historical significance, I probably *should* link "Dirty South", the Goodie Mob song that coined the phrase. (It's a pretty good song! It even has Big Boi on it!) However, instead I am going to indulge myself and just link a track I really like, even though it's on the same album as "Black Ice".

What I'm listening to today: "Dracula Flow 6", YoungArts 2026 winners' jazz ensemble
I had to do it to them, snipe. I went Judge Judy on that pussy, snipe. Blacked out on the Percocet, ordered a Desert Eagle off Amazon. I really did this. I'm really him. I keep my glock at the Vatican, I have the blueprint to the catacombs. My diamonds come from the most horrific situations possible. Movin like Dracula, we get it back in blood. This shit ain't nothin to me, man
What I'm listening to today: "Johnny Dang", That Mexican OT
Đặng Anh Tuấn, better known as Johnny Dang, is a Houston-area jeweler who various sources assure me locked *down* the client base of providing jewelry to professional rappers in the 00s and 10s through savvy networking and innovation in "grills". I did not know this. When I arrived in Houston a couple weeks ago this was the song The Box was playing at 1 AM as I left the airport. Absolutely phenomenal rap flow.

What I'm listening to today: "Coastline #82 (Vom Melos zur Pauke) - Sonata in three movements", Karlheinz Essl
When I first discovered modular synths I'd just search directly for videos of self-playing patches on the 0-Coast: a small dense self-contained unit that can do a ton of stuff simultaneously if you understand it, and makes no sound at all if you don't. Here, a carefully composed journey into a sentient storm of madness hand-guided by an Austrian music professor
What I'm listening to today: "Phil Cirocco demonstrating the ARP 2003 synthesizer"
Alan R. Pearlman's company produced some historically good-sounding synthesizers; their first few, up to the ARP 2600 (best known as the voice of R2D2), were decadently knob-ridden and customizable. This one's so early it's branded "Tonus" and it has some *bizarre* capabilities, here shown off as a shakedown test immediately following a restoration with some improvised space-western jazz

What I'm listening to today: "Alien Virus", The Bug
The Bug is a mysterious artist to me, they mostly make fuzzy abstract ambient dub but also one time I saw Earth in concert and it was just Dylan Carlson playing one guitar and The Bug playing another.
This is from an album that alternates live Bug tracks with someone named Ghost Dubs (apparently from the label The Bug started?). Thousands of insects are doing the Charleston while in the background, civilization burns

@mcc So many notes it's like I put the grip of a Mac 10 in my mouth and blew. Drum solo sounding like a Crip party on New Year's. We're zooted off that Charlie Parker kush. I flipped him the Bird and he changed time signatures on me, man.
@mcc so, these young folks are playing their asses off, thanks for sharing!
but the YouTube comments are making me feel very old.
(not just bc I said "young folks")
Is there a reference in the title I'm missing that are making folks act up in the comments, or is the internet just internetting?
@NearerAndFarther Hello yes, the title and comments are references to the internet-video spoken word pieces "Dracula Flow 1" through "Dracula Flow 5", whose cadence I assume the jazz composition is somehow intended to mimic
@mcc i sort of wondered if they simply picked the name as a kind of cheeky SEO? I had their music recommended by YouTube, I assume because I’ve watched Dracula Flow often.
