It sucks. Vice was always hit or miss, but when they’re on, they’re some of the best journalists anywhere. I’m especially gonna miss Waypoint, their videogame branch
A thread of some really good articles Waypoint ran. Their Lore Reasons podcast series was also a really fun dive into the convoluted madness of Kingdom Hearts
while doing some research on Focal monitors, stumbled upon this video of their factory tour, pretty long video but great insight on how the monitors (and other speakers) are made.
btw pretty nice channel as well, lots of interesting stuff.
Beverly Crusher, MD (1997 full intro)
Nice kick here !
That is unfortunate. Wienermobile is more bold.
Yeah, Frankmobile feels like a singular worshipping of people named Frank. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but frankly speaking, it may go to Franks head.
So my two year old has grown out of/broken her pushchair, but she’s not quite confident enough to do the walk to school/playschool with her brother every morning, so this morning I threw her in their little retro wagon thing and pulled her to school.
When we got to her brother’s school, his teacher remarked that she looked like royalty sitting in it on her cushion eating a banana.
Without even thinking I replied, “I know right, she’s already colonised half of Africa before breakfast”.
Didn’t go down well…
“Daddy, why did we have to change school?”
We have saws like that where I work. When those bastards stop, it scares the shit out of you…glad we have them though. A 5hp table saw is a dangerous thing.
I love watching wood being transformed into a table or a chair.
Wish I knew how to do this.
The keycaps on elektron mechanical buttons are most easily removed from side to side, not front to back. You can get them off either way but if you approach it from the side, the amount of force required to remove them is halved and the risk of damage to either goes down to zero. I surmise that this is due to the clip and enclave for the clip being lateral to the button/cap and not in the up/down position.
Carrion of lateralists. 🫠
BBC - In the Studio (radio documentary)
Summary from BBC:
“Lawrence Abu Hamdan is an artist and forensic investigator of sound. He describes himself as a 'private ear’, listening to, with and on behalf of people affected by corporate, state and environmental crimes. Whether that’s determining the type of ammunition and location of gunfire from sound alone, drawing on earwitness testimony for evidence, or uncovering crucial information buried within noise, Lawrence unravels truths hidden from view.
As a new exhibition of his work opens at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, presenter Eliza Lomas follows as he prepares for a performance, After SFX. This piece interplays storytelling with live sound design and percussion, drawing from the artist’s investigative work to explore various aspects of sonic memory. It reveals the unexpected ways we encode events in our mind through sound, and how the role of sound effect cinema affects our own memories. We also hear from his collaborators, sound designer Adam Laschinger and percussionist Eli Keszler.”
I love this video
That’s one polite Mosh Pit right there…
Yeah, not a drop of blood spilled (except for maybe that guy on the cross…)
