Here's the weekly digest thread of my #OPM post: 5 writeups of new (to you, probably) artists and #music for your listening pleasure. #Rock, several flavors of #ambient and #NewAge and more await you within!
Of course, you can read the whole thing, with longer writeups than fit in a single post, here:
This collection is billed as “embellished piano improvisations” and that’s a fair assessment. The core elements here are piano improvs and field recordings that typically feature the “beautiful birds” of the title. Added to these parts are touches of synthesizer pads and washes, most on the delicate and/or haunting side of things. Falling somewhere between #ambient and #NewAge, these pieces manage to be both delicate and weighty.
Look here, it's #NewMusic for you! Every week I cover 5+ new acts, listen to ~15 min worth of stuff, then tell you all about it so you can check out the ones that seem intriguing. This week we had a couple different flavors of #ambient and New Age, some #neoclassical (that also works as ambient 😅 ) and a really distinctive #rock track. Check them out!

Qua mi sa che scenderà più di una lacrimuccia, li ho totalmente persi con gli anni ma i loro primi album hanno fatto la storia di una scena rock italiana irripetibile:
If the new age is all about love, why the hell are they equating that with money? Guess the poor only are allowed the surface of what's supposed to be a deep exploration if they want to do it in community like everyone else gets to, either that or they'll have to do it on their own and then get shat on because "that's not how you're supposed to do that" and "It's dangerous..." so say these ritch bitch teachers/leaders/founders of organizations while not offering another option. Then when they're called on it they say "It's about the experience," never mind that the community is probably 50-75 percent responsible for that experience just like anything else where the apmosphere sustains itself in the presence of a group all feeding off each other's expectations. So we have teachers/leaders/founders probably aware of the group element and excluding people who can't pay for it, then turnning around and claiming that "It's all about feeling good" or whatever obviously false message they want the public to believe they stand for. I think I've seen one space, aside from the ones people created because they'd had enough of this exclusionary shit, that doesn't do crap like this. One. In 13 years of trying and frequently being barred from sections of various subcommunities because of funding and the lack of it. Of course those throwing their deadbolts don't ever want to admit they're the ones doing it, turnning it around and talking about how "It's all an investment in yourself" and "you can pay what you think it's worth to you" with the implication we can just pull the mony from thin air and that if we don't have lots of it then we must not be valuing the information or experience provided enough. Again, they wanna claim it's about love? Then fix this shit and stop relying on cop-outs designed to milk the maximum amount of $$$ from people. #NewAge#Healing#energy#love#peace#joy#money

[...] pour Zineb Fahsi, professeure de yoga, cette quête d’un « meilleur soi » n’est rien d’autre qu’une façon de faire accepter son sort à l’individu néolibéral, tout en l’appelant à se dépasser, en particulier au travail."

Today is the 78th anniversary of the Trinity Test, held #OTD in 1945.
The result of scientific collaboration on an unprecedented scale, most participants came to regret what they had unleashed. After the test, Kenneth Bainbridge remarked “Now we are all sons of bitches.”
Oppenheimer, on the other hand, isn’t on record as saying anything immediately after the blast. The Bhagavad Gita quote is a retcon, what he later described as a thought that ran through his head.
It is sadly common for crazy manipulative #cults to murder their members. In really bad cases they commit collective more or less coerced suicide. The case of the Californian guru Frank "Krishna Venta" Pencovic is unusual though.
Cults, by their very nature, attract some crazy people. A few of Pencovic's congregants became so annoyed by their holy man screwing their wives that they suicide-bombed him in 1958. Adiós life and guru.
