  Right. So the USA just slapped %12.5 tariffs on Australia because “we are not doing enough about slave labour” which isn’t even an attempt to provide a valid reason. The last time around I shrugged, but fuck this shit. This time I’ll avoid USA products as much as possible. Yeah I know no one cares. #auspol

  Here it is: a new Korean music format, the KIT which is a small pendant holding a digital album that can only exist on one device at a time. The pendant is held in a jewel case packed with lots of fun collectable material. We’re not likely to fit into the KPop scene. But we always try new formats. Take a look! #music #musicproduction https://store-us.kitbetter.com/products/severed-heads-since-the-accident-kitalbum?Title=Default+Title

  Curious to realtime watch The Media pick up another toy. We’ve seen ‘spooky’ liminal spaces online for years. Then creepypastas. Then Exit 8 game. Now cool monster of the month A24s ‘Backrooms’ hitting cinemas this week. They’ve found a 20 year old, dubbed him a film director and Let’s Run This Shit Into The Ground. I’ll go and see it. We already had Severance. And Exit 8. What does this add or achieve? If it isn’t an advance I’ll kick its arse. #movie #film

  Mog and Magog - 1892 statues with bells part of a large clockwork - Royal Arcade Melbourne. In Melbourne to bury vinyl Caesar, not to praise him. Apparently the presentation will be filmed. #music

  Finally have arrived at Luna Park Melbourne. It is very small but can claim the oldest continuously operating roller coaster, a 1932 ghost train still operating and the carousel that once stood in White City Sydney back in 1913. We claimed them all. #lunapark #funpark #funfair

  Made a visit to Wunderkammer (Wonder cabinet) which sells exotic curiosities - oddities. And NO shitty TAXIDERMY that fills most ‘oddities’ expos. It’s not cheap but the collection is rare - including parts of a meteor hit from 790000 years ago and hand made Nixie tube clocks. Many new things for my Man Cave (and the missus). A few photos… #weird #oddities #collection

  So InMusic just ate up Native Instruments. If you think that everything will just go on as normal you are so cute I want to pinch your cheeks. It deserved to be chewed up, being a bloated zoo of soundtrack ‘solutions’ which will now be wedged into MPC controllers with MOOG written on them. And that’s fine. Because it’s 2026 and the future keeps on arriving and no amount of nostalgia is going to save you from change. #music #musicproduction

  Working on a number of Severed Heads CDs for a European label. This one includes music from a while back called “I Taste D King” - Tara Ellard is working on the art and decided to portray Old King Cole from Luna Park Melbourne. This will be a linocut from a drawing of small metal bits and pieces assembled to make our king. It’s a very hands on process. #art #musicproduction

  However the official Meta version is that the whole VR thing is going to get kicked down the road awhile until they form a proper product. https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-delays-new-mixed-reality-glasses-code-named-phoenix-2025-12?utm_medium=social

  Given that both Meta and Apple are frantically backing out of VR it seems likely the Era of Goggles is soon over. https://futurism.com/future-society/zuckerberg-metaverse-cuts
