https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5j4W2Y7RPQ&list=OLAK5uy_n6ijURMv3LLKtMtt0G7y-hcA2GTSXSIaQ&index=1

1997 indie rock album from Stockton, California, rereleased in 2008 with outtakes, b-sides, parts of live shows, etc. from the same time period.

Album of the Day 229: Young Team by Mogwai

https://mogwai.bandcamp.com/album/young-team-deluxe-edition

1997 post-rock album from Glasgow, Scotland. The opening song is warm and inviting, only to get dragged down then walloped in the face by "Like Herod." The rest of the album mostly stays in a more mellow mood track before the fantastic (and lengthy) closer.

My picks: "Yes! I Am a Long Way from Home," "R U Still in 2 It?" "Mogwai Fear Satan"

new pedal day! my first pedals actually.

i know these are “cheap” pedals, but i really wanted to just see how things go with something affordable before i invest a lot of money in fancier units. also, no fancy effects yet, but hopefully will just have more control over my sound beyond the pickup controls on the bass or the bass/mid/treble controls on the amp.

@mishamouse Nothing wrong with Behringer pedals. They're clones of tried and true Boss pedals, just in cheaper housing. Hope they work out well for you!

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@mishamouse People do have very strong opinions about gear. Some of it is warranted—for instance, Behringer has done some less-than-ethical things over the years, best left to some Benn Jordan YouTube videos to explain—but at other times, it's best described as snobbery, elitism, or excessive brand loyalty. In the mix and from the audience, almost nobody is going to know or care if you're using a $20 or a $300 pedal.

Enjoy the dabbling, make some music, and have fun!

@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@mishamouse To be clear, while Behringer has been problematic, they also make some great cheap clones of out of production synths, and did eventually make good on a promise to donate synths (and money) to music-related charities. It's not as black-and-white "Behringer is bad" as people can make it out to be.

My current wallpaper ❤️ (for many years now)

What's yours?

@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@Gamrok Really should give Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery another go. Never completed it. Great wallpaper, though.

This has been my background for a year or so now. Only in trying to find the source of this picture did I find out that it's actually an Unreal Engine 4 render!

Really should look around for something new, but having a 21:9 monitor does restrict options, unless you want black bars.

Album of the Day 228: Moondawn by Klaus Schulze

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp2xpfWV6IM&list=OLAK5uy_kOBeSLd9LQxWTc9fMmWFGBqgDuFxIxJo4&index=1

1976 progressive electronic/Berlin School album. A spacey synthesizer-focused album, starting each half fairly ambient before building to a more prog-styled jam. Harald Großkopf's drumming really meshes well with the synths on this album.

@drheyzeus Congrats on the new phone!

Can't stand gesture navigation, myself. Thankfully, there's a setting to turn back on 3-button navigation, if you end up being like me.

Album of the Day 227: Don Caballero 2 by Don Caballero

https://doncaballero.bandcamp.com/album/don-caballero-2

1995 math rock/noise rock album from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Loud, angular, discordant. Aggressive up front, although the album calms down a bit towards the back end.

Pro-tip: if you ever want to annoy co-workers, try putting on "Repeat Defender," especially from about 4:28-5:48!

My picks: "Stupid Puma," "Repeat Defender," "Dick Suffers Is Furious With You"

@KCDOZ I got into Don Caballero already loving Ian Williams' work in Battles, so it's really neat being able to go back and hear his sound develop into the direction that Battles went in.

According to this interview, John McEntire from Tortoise was the one that recommended the Akai Headrush to Ian.

Album of the Day 226: Maggot Brain by Funkadelic

https://funkadelic.bandcamp.com/album/maggot-brain

1971 funk rock/psychedelic rock album from Detroit, Michigan. Eddie Hazel's guitar work on "Maggot Brain" is amazing. "Wars Of Armageddon" is absolute nonsense, devolving to music overlaid with fart sounds at one point, but damn if it isn't funky.

My picks: "Maggot Brain," "Can You Get To That," "Super Stupid"

My Logi Pro Wireless mouse has been stuttering lately (on mouse press) and I cannot quite figure out how to fix it. Ugh.

I’ve had it about 5 years now, I hope I don’t need to replace it. 😩

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@britt My right click on my Logitech mouse is also starting to go on me. It's a discontinued model, too. 😞

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@britt Yeah, pretty much. Go to aim down sights in Helldivers, and if I'm not firm on the right-click, it'll quickly go in and out of ADS repeatedly.

While the G303 Daedalus Apex is discontinued, they did end up making a new wireless version of the G303. Don't know if I'd like the changed weight and dimensions, nor having to keep track of the battery on it, though.

raf_leszczynski, to MagicTheGathering
@raf_leszczynski@mstdn.games avatar

In November 2023, I returned to Magic the Gathering after a 25-year break. I joined the EDH league in my local game store and bought my first Commander Deck, Blood Rites, from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan set. After 70+ games and numerous upgrades, I still greatly enjoy piloting Clavileño, First of the Blessed, and his vampire demon armies.

What was your first Commander deck?

#magicthegathering #mtg #edh #commander #bloodrites #lostcavernsofixalan

LadyMarth01,
@LadyMarth01@mstdn.games avatar

@raf_leszczynski My first commander deck was the Token Triumph Starter Commander precon. I've since purchased way too many precons—I really enjoy always having something new and unfamiliar to try out, not really knowing what to expect with each deck—but I still greatly enjoy when I bring that first deck out again, and was a great place to start playing Magic for me.

(Also, the showcase art for Clavileño is so much better than the standard art!)

The full art for Emmara, Soul of the Accord by Kai Carpenter. The version of the art on the card is cropped to fit the card, and the etched foil finish greatly reduces the quality of the image. A pale elf in a green dress holds up a staff topped with the Selesnya logo, resembling a tree with pointed leaves. Around her, a crowd of elves cheers on as they stand in the middle of a city with Baroque-esque architecture with plentiful plant life. Art source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vJnBqv

Album of the Day 225: Sing The Word Hope In Four-Part Harmony by Maybeshewill

https://mybshwll.bandcamp.com/album/sing-the-word-hope-in-four-part-harmony

2009 post-rock/math rock album from Leicester, England. Goes into post-metal at times, and some 65daysofstatic-eque electronic bits. The vocal samples can be a bit cornball, but they work well enough with the music, and sometimes cornball is just what you want.

My picks: "Co-Conspirators," "How To Have Sex With A Ghost," "Our History Will Be What We Make Of It"

Album of the Day 224: F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

https://godspeedyoublackemperor.bandcamp.com/album/f-a

1998 post-rock album from Montreal, Québec. Essentially a post-apocalyptic soundtrack. The use of "The Sad Mafioso" part of "East Hastings" in 28 Days Later is what put this band on my radar.

I'm a big fan of GY!BE live, so here's a live show with "Dead Methany," "The Dead Flag Blues (Outro)" (Better than the album, in my opinion!), and "The Sad Mafioso."

Album of the Day 223: I'll Try Living Like This by death's dynamic shroud

https://deathsdynamicshroud.bandcamp.com/album/ill-try-living-like-this

2015 vaporwave/plunderphonics album from Los Angeles, California. One of the stranger albums I've ever listened to, a bizarre fever dream that always seems to always have new twists up its sleeve. Unexpected chord changes, abrupt glitches, pitch-shifted vocals, and a wide variety of samples.

My picks: "Loving Is Easy," "시원한 파도소리 좋아요" (Track 7), "내 마음은 떨고" (Track 8)

Album of the Day 222: Half-Life 2: Episode Two OST by Kelly Bailey

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oHWu6GhAro&list=OLAK5uy_lhTt3rp9w1Smkf8RkzhDIH73nzgYE1apw&index=5

2007 dark ambient/industrial rock OST. While the ambient tracks are solid if occasionally forgettable, when Kelly Bailey rocks out it's some absolutely fantastic stuff. "Vortal Combat" is possibly my favorite song in the franchise.

My picks: "Vortal Combat," "Sector Sweep," "Eon Trap"
