The trap is no longer set. But for one fine day, I was distributing invitations to friends to join a Discord server called A Cask of Amontillado. The only text chat room was called #a-small-space-behind-a-brick-wall and the only emoji was a pile of bricks.

The Signal: EP178 – Exactly 45 minutes of high fidelity digital sound, bringing the sounds of the world to you… no ticket required! This time out we’ve got some propulsive rock, some bossa nova-infused beats, a jazzy cover of a hip hop classic, Anatolian pop, Afghan beats, lowrider soul and more!
Download by clicking on the link (or image) above. The file is available only for a limited time. If you’re interested in the tracklist, it’s in the mp3 itself, in the id3 tags. I have an email list that gets notified when new mixes go up, but no way to join it outside of contacting me, so… yeah. I dunno, commercial mailing list services suck.

The Signal: EP177 – Exactly 45 minutes of music designed to slip inside your head with no friction, no wear and tear on your precious brain-loading components. There’s a lot to like this time out! We’ve got funky library music, retro-80s rock and shoegaze, a dub remix of some Yorke work, electronic beats from the UK, a bit of Italian movie soundtrack music, and more.

If you want to be on the mailing list to get notified when a new one goes out, you’re going to have to ask me. We’re going 100% artisanal on the mailing lists these days. Hand-crafted. No convenient sign-up page. Our ancestors didn’t need sign-up pages and neither do we.
♫ how would you like / to be eaten / by rats? ♫
just a little jingle I’m writing for my service where … where people get eaten by rats, where I get paid because people want to be eaten by rats, because the jingle was so catchy they were like “hey, maybe I want to be eaten by rats”
