  • Bonus: along with https://disquiet.com being newly mobile/tablet-responsive, comments will be a whole lot tidier. Likely live this weekend. #
  • Blogger’s Remorse: Is a separate topic-specific @tumblr necessary, or should it just be a tag on your existing site? #
  • Super close to mobile/tablet-optimized https://disquiet.com. (Main site looks the same. Changes are all about device-based responsiveness.) #
  • New @tumblr I’ve got going, collecting links re: the “Sounds of Brands / Brands of Sounds” class I’m teaching: http://t.co/Fjk1qo9m #
  • Filed article with British magazine on the Fourth of July. Felt vaguely traitorous. #
  • The 27th Disquiet Junto project instructions have gone to the email list + are live at the @soundcloud page http://t.co/IjQw7mvf #
  • Lesson from last night about fireworks and perception: loudness doesn’t equal proximity; detail equals proximity. #
  • Indeed. LED fireworks: world’s first reusable. RT @ioflow: @disquiet nah, LED fireworks are The New Thing. #
  • Outboard-brain side-project related to “Sounds of Brands / Brands of Sounds” class I’m teaching: http://t.co/Fjk1qo9m. #
  • These new CFL fireworks are cool, but I miss the incandescent ones. #

  • The Music of Fireworks: http://t.co/4Ycnqc0H #
  • The mixture of enthusiasm and solitude that is the July 3 firework. #
  • History of my listening goes from what’s my favorite song to what’s my favorite album to what’s my favorite appliance. NP: washing machine. #

  • 48 minutes of music made by 15 musicians in 4 days from samples of trash: https://t.co/7W9pd5rt #
  • Tuesday noon siren peculiarly loud on a bright, clear-sky day. #
  • “‘Spider-Man’ feels like one of those unnecessary software versions, more Spider-Man 1.5” says Manohla Dargis. I agree, and I dug 500 Days. #
  • If my tweets are especially off later today, it may be because I saw the midnight Spider-man. #
  • Eight musicians now confirmed for the August 19 Disquiet Junto concert in Denver. #
  • More details on the class I’m teaching this autumn at @academy_of_art: http://t.co/D4D3h3zZ #

  • Glad the http://t.co/brhasUxl netlabel is back. Two tracks posted last month, the first since November. #

  • For @djunto #26 stijnh shot his garbage mid-sample: http://t.co/lIZJ6Xah #
  • Mostly for @artofplanning: Has Shepard Fairey done anything that looks less like he’s done it? Rolling Stones logo: http://t.co/3iEF4ihl #
  • Guy next to me at café is like the Keith Jarrett of writers. He’s read out loud quietly as he typed on his laptop all day. #
  • Now 7 musicians confirmed for the Disquiet Junto (@djunto) show in Denver on August 19. Almost certainly more to come. #

  • Initial thoughts about Geoff Dyer’s engrossing book about Andrei Tarkovsky’s movie Stalker: http://t.co/2LqxmdP1 #
  • Remains convinced that Stalker will be remade with Jason Statham in the lead role. #
  • Best thing about 3rd book in Mira Grant’s great trilogy of zombie novels is moral parallel it draws between zombies & clones. #
  • Geoff Emerick’s memoir about recording the Beatles in the 1960s is unintentionally the best book about how manga is made today. #
