Plutonic Rainbows

Latest album from New Mexican Stargazers.

It slowly overtook the front of my house, almost like a reminder of things I needed to accomplish but never had enough energy to do. in fact, if I was living alone, there is no telling how long it would have continued to grow for. I had taken some pictures of the beautiful, yet intrusive display of residential flora, and it was the only the very next day that it had been removed. out of my life, finally allowing for light to enter my room once more.

Almost 90 minutes of drifting ambience that recalls the mind-expanding New Age albums of the late 1980s.

I was incredibly excited about this film adaptation of Stephen King’s short story. I must have read this creepy, classic tale at least a dozen times over the past thirty-plus years. It started off well but lost momentum after thirty or forty minutes. It strayed too far from the original and lacked the same haunting quality as the short story. For me, it was incredibly disappointing.

I updated the spreadsheets for my 2025 savings plan, discovered an insightful book on syntax, completed a new image generation app while resolving a metadata issue, and began organizing my finances.

Amazon’s decision to remove the option to download copies of purchased books is concerning. For many consumers, owning a product that has been fully paid for signifies an unbreakable right. The removal undermines the sense of ownership and reliability that buyers expect, limiting access to their personal digital libraries completely.

I initially encountered an issue where every time I saved an image's metadata using IPTCInfo3, a duplicate backup file (with a tilde at the end) was created, cluttering my directory. To resolve this, I installed the latest version of IPTCInfo3 directly from GitHub, which includes an overwrite option. I then updated my code in my application to call: ipt c_ info. save (options=[ "overwrite" ]). That change successfully prevented the creation of the unwanted backup file.

Beautifully elusive ghost dubs from Civilistjävel! burst forth with a compelling new LP that arcs from Pole-inspired vapors to crystalline ambient textures, culminating in a closing track featuring cult chamber pop artist Thomas Bush — all new from Fergus Jones' burgeoning FELT label. Following the success of Brödföda (2024) and Jones' solo debut for Numbers, the seven-part suite Följd reliably guides devoted listeners into intimate, imaginary synth landscapes that evoke an uncanny isolationist pastoralism and reflective introspection, echoing traditions from Cluster to Enno Velthuys, Ø, and more obscure Swedish synth influences.

In addition to a farewell piece featuring collaborative vocals by Thomas Bush, the album spotlights Tomas Bodén's rapid, improvisational synth play. His approach gently navigates a realm of softly expansive, aerated analog textures and spongy sub-bass frequencies, crafting what is now recognized as a distinctive signature sound. From the opening strokes to Bush's quietly yearning vocals, Civilistjävel!'s subdued yet melodious instrumental lyricism guides listeners through moments reminiscent of Mika Vainio's classic Kantamoinen, unfolding with frosted-pane synth gazes, a breathtaking 10-minute centerpiece of melting drum machines and synth wooze, perfectly measured dubbed acid in XVII, and an iridescent, blissful escape in XVIII.

I have, for many years admired this company for their advertising artwork. Here is a fantastic example from 1990.

I optimised performance by deferring render-blocking resources and streamlining my external connections. I added the defer attribute to my jQuery and Lightbox2 script tags so they load in the background without delaying the initial page render. I also improved connection times by adding preconnect links for my external resources from code.jquery.com and cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Additionally, I modified the Lightbox2 stylesheet link using a media attribute trick to ensure it doesn’t block rendering. This should improve load times while maintaining functionality.
