catching up on my fav WFMU show while Adriene's back for a seasonal version of The Blind Tourist. always astonishing radio but this ep in particular is blowing my mind (creatively, existentially..) wfmu.org/playlists/shows/10464

the site is a bit awkward to navigate but I'm into it, to me it has the vibe of bumping into people/losing sight of someone in a crowd? i'm keen to know what you think of it @benbyrne @p_hase ?

Hey everyone. This Sunday, March 28, 11am-12pm AEDT @becfary and I will be leading a reading of the introduction to Jenny Odell's 'How to Do Nothing' at Hill of Content Bookshop for Melbourne Design Week. It's a wonderful chapter, and book, and we'll be responding to it with a focus on the question, 'How can we promote peer-to-peer learning through design?' Bec has graciously stepped in for Toni Roberts. Entry by donation booking, please join us if you can! designweek.melbourne/events/re

very lucky to be listening to a preview of Wound Without a Tear - daisart.bandcamp.com/album/wou - a gorgeous compilation of 'Australian' ambient and experimental music from 1993-2008, releasing on Daisart next week + for now there's one streamable track at the link. this'll definitely be my writing soundtrack this week 💚

A fantastically eerie set of field recording from Lawrence English - somehow claustrophobic even in feeling empty and vast - one you might enjoy in particular @becfary lawrenceenglish.bandcamp.com/a

“The so-called cloud is a definitely material and mainly hardwired network...” newyorker.com/culture/cultural [Kyle Devine on his book 'Decomposed: The Political Ecology of Music']

this article (and presumably the book it's about) focuses on music streaming, and i'd like to hear more of these conversations in other online listening environments/communities — the materialities of the so-called cloud is something i'm trying to be more thoughtful about

inspired by the frontyardprojects.org/ homepage I'm spending some time with native-land.ca/ and their API

thought some other folks here might be interested in their webinar — 'Enhancing Our Understanding: Learning and Teaching about Indigenous Cultures, Languages, and Territories' us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist (it's this Friday 8:30am AEST if I've calculated right!)
