@malanalysis The sad thing is that they’re •not• getting rid of daylight saving time, just the switch. This idea of year-round DST is foolish for two reasons: 1. It was already done back in 1974 (in the US anyway) and was such a disaster it was repealed within a year. 2. DST only exists when there’s a switch. If you make it year-round, you’re just switching to the next time zone over. EDT becomes AST, PDT becomes MST, &c. This creates some confusion (I’m looking at you British Columbia) when they’ve made PDT permanent and are actually on MST but still insisting on calling it Pacific Time. (Yes, this is already happening.) #Sigh. #Rant over for the moment.

Some wisdom from one who has learned the hard way...

Turn all of the water shutoff valves off then on again once a month and don't forget the whole house shutoff, washing machine, fridge, etc.

Shutoff valves should be either all the way off or all the way on, never halfway.

As you have work done, have your shutoff valves replaced with quarter turn valves.

Many good reasons why Brits focus on crimes of Israel, e.g.:
1/ Britain started it, with 1917 #BalfourDeclaration
2/ Britain complicit in #Israel's crimes: arms, intelligence, tech, diplomacy
3/ UK close ties to israel, so Brit media keeps ppl well-informed
4/ Israeli crimes have continued for decades.

The jew-haters are the scum like you who think genocide is OK when committed by #Jews.

Musical Interlude: I spent most of the day hanging at my house, waiting for a plumber to come...only to call them and find out that they have me scheduled for TOMORROW. Sigh. I could only laugh; it's not worth getting upset over.

But while I kept going to the window every time I heard a car stopping, I remembered a sketch from the Tracy Ullman show where she's waiting for a repairman to show up, and singing this song....

"It Must Be Him," performed by Vikki Carr.

All I wanted is a quick note when a new book from one of the authors or book series I like is published. And the same for new works from movie directors or TV series I enjoy.

An email newsletter or an RSS feed could easily handle that with no or little overhead.

But those often did not exist or were way too noisy because somebody wanted to sell something else.

And that's why soon everybody will use AI agents with all their overhead for that. #sigh

So, annoyingly after thinking I might have had a bit of a breakthrough, it turns out I was chasing my tail and it seems like I'm back to square one...

There’s a lot of weird shit floating around the metalsphere, and that includes Voidthrone’s newest addition, Dreaming Rat. The Seattle quartet has been kicking around for a decade, and in that time have released three prior platters of escalating lunacy. Without question, Dreaming Rat is Voidthrone’s most unhinged concoction to date, and a quick look at their Bandcamp credits gives prospective listeners a window into the alchemical ingredients they cook with, including Otamatone, conch shell, jaw harp, vibraslap, digeridoo, spoons, and a fretless bass. Throw in vocalist Zhenya Frolov’s deranged vocal stylings, and you’ve got yourself a bona fide manic expression of dissonant blackened death metal. With so many disparate components in Dreaming Rat’s stew, does Voidthrone soothe the savage beast or unleash a waking nightmare?

Listening to Dreaming Rat is a bit like experiencing an auditory fever dream, where disconnected fragments congeal into lurid, atonal anarchy. Voidthrone didn’t arrive at this sound overnight, though. Debut Spiritual War Tactics whipped and frothed with the restrained vitality of Krallice, and follow-up Kur added jazz-informed touches in the vein of Imperial Triumphant. Physical Degradation evolved Voidthrone’s sound, integrating more unconventional instrumentation and pushing the band’s songwriting past its comfort zone. On Dreaming Rat, Voidthrone takes the blueprint laid out on Physical Degradation and indiscriminately expands the range for strange. The result sees Frolov stretching his vocal performance into frenzied tirades, covering the gamut from Replicant’s vomitous barks to Sigh’s oddball deliveries. The instrumentation also gets exponentially wackier, as it conjures the rabid wrath of Pyrrhon along with the chaotic instincts of Afterbirth, resulting in an unpredictable romp to the end of the world.

At Dreaming Rat’s core, Voidthrone details the life and death of a solar system through bleak eras, segmenting the album into present, past, and future. The arcs are presented in that order, with each one comprised of three songs. The present describes the apex of a civilization, harnessing the promises forged upon the hopes and chaos of the past. Meanwhile, Voidthrone paints a grim outlook for the future, specifically calling out ‘an extinguished, lonely death of the physical, spiritual, and cognitive.’1 The lyrics throughout Dreaming Rat read like the demented ravings of a madman’s manifesto,2 and while I don’t think I could have divined the album’s overarching concept from them alone, reading them amplifies the bedlam Voidthrone has crafted on Dreaming Rat.

Writing music this lawless may seem haphazard, but over repeated listens, I’ve begun to glimpse the method to Dreaming Rat’s madness. Without question, everyone in Voidthrone earns their stripes. Ronald Foodsack’s guitars drench Dreaming Rat with warbling dissonance, perpetually in flux so that there’s never a riff or refrain to inhibit the music’s incessant lurch. Whether moving at frantic paces (“III-I. Surfing the Abyss”) or decelerating to a plodding crawl (“II-II. Morbid Seagull”), Ron’s six-stringed blitz never stalls. Additionally, Gavin Brooks contributes acoustic guitar and solos while manning the glorious fretless bass.3 Technical death metal has hogged the fretless bass for too long, and I’m glad Voidthrone has the stones to add it to disso metal’s tool chest. Tracks like “I-I. Bergen” and “II-I. Homeless Animal” showcase the character the instrument offers, bolstering the ever-shifting nature of Dreaming Rat. Drummer Josh Keifer grounds the band ably, locked into a supporting role that allows the other instruments to take center stage while he keeps things on the rails. Frolov’s feral vocals and the host of unconventional instruments further enrich Voidthrone’s distinctive identity, establishing what sounds like it could be the death throes of the universe.

What Voidthrone accomplishes with Dreaming Rat is fascinating and unique, and merits everyone’s attention. Sure, some songs could be trimmed to make such a scathing album a bit shorter and more palatable, and the three arcs could use some musical cues to distinguish songs thematically from one another, but Dreaming Rat is a crowning achievement for the band. Voidthrone’s psychedelic psychosis makes bold promises on paper and completely delivers in fact, and when I’m in the mood to get really weird with it, this will be the album I reach for.

Last night during our banned book club meeting I learned that I.C.E. kidnapped some people from the parking lot of our local grocery store with the help of our police department last week and our state penitentiary subcontracts prison labor to corporations.

Great. Now I have two local issues to be depressed about this morning.

Maybe I'll just go back to bed.
