/ By Marc Weidenbaum
  • RIP, Japanese voice actor Seizō Katō (b. 1927), Megatron and Galvatron in Transformers: http://t.co/Tz3TNOi1TW ->
  • Apparently two days in a row I wrote on Disquiet about artists from Virginia. Maybe tomorrow I'll make it a trifecta. ->
  • Helix has had an impact. Soft r&b tunes from the 1970s playing in public places now freak me out a little. ->
  • Yahoo! The @djunto weekly music project series is now well over 3,000 extant tracks and 420 contributors: http://t.co/Cjn2aOvZib ->
  • Man, it's hard these days to type "Yahoo!" and have people not think you're writing about, you know, Yahoo! ->
  • Thought my Nexus 7's screen paled next to my iPad (retina) but it was just that the iPad's wallpaper was more bright/colorful. #stupidme ->
  • #aeolian #metrics. The week's @djunto was inspired by "White Blur 1" off subject of my new book, Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol II. ->
  • Just did my first interview with a podcast for my 33 1/3 Aphex Twin book. That was fun. Good questions. More on it as its broadcast date ne”¦ ->
  • Man, that @Synthtopia sure has a sizable readership. Enormous spike for something I wrote last week. Thanks! ->
  • Correlation between percentage of apps downloaded but never used and percentage of hoodies the hoods of which have never been worn. ->
  • "Musical notation presented unusual challenges to the new craft of printing in the 15th century." Free UCPress book: http://t.co/gl1bC2HXf9 ->
  • 25 days until my Aphex Twin 33 1/3 book (SAW2) is officially released. The album has 25 tracks (well, one edition does). Time for countdown. ->
  • Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Vol II reverse-order daily track countdown: #25 ("Matchsticks") http://t.co/bM55wjZeTB ->

  • The Outdoor Public Warning System siren at the corner of 21st Ave and Geary in San Francisco: http://t.co/wvsX98xwQx #urbanstudies #sound ->
  • Thumbs up to Beats Music for factoring in music you "hate" when sorting out your preferences. ->
  • Weird, @beatsmusic lists Aphex Twin SAW2 as 35 tracks and yet only lists 20 of them. Actual number: between 23 and 25, depending on version. ->
  • This is great: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have teamed up for a third time (for Gone Girl) with David Fincher: http://t.co/axQ1BXuYWs ->
  • I messed that last tweet up. It's @mariplasma (aka Marielle Jakobsons) not @darwinsbitch who'll perform with @subnaughtsounds + @jared_smyth in reply to subnaughtsounds ->
  • Excited to report: @mariplasma @jared_smyth @subnaughtsounds to perform Aphex Twin”“inspired music at my March 20 @citylightsbooks reading ->
  • The app Yellofier (by Boris Blank of Yello) has been ported to Android from iOS: http://t.co/oxC9KRP5G9 ->
  • The URL "TiananmenSunrise dot com" is available. Just saying. ->
  • German word for "Disappointed the Tiananmen sunrise image was misreported because felt like Code 46 is real, yet happy Code 46 isn't real." ->
  • New semester of my sound-in-the-media-landscape course at the Academy of Art begins a week from today. Very excited. ->
  • Talk of Twitter being "ephemeral" complicated for me because what I tweet is auto-compiled weekly on my website. It's like a public journal. ->
  • Are we at Peak Faraday Cage? There's one in Person of Interest, and in Intelligence. Any others out there in TV land? ->
  • First thing I did in MacPaint in 1984 was to recreate the inside cover of Starless and Bible Black. Happy 30th birthday, Mac. ->

  • This is a picture I've looked forward to taking for a long time: http://t.co/WbV6wJyn9I ->
  • My 3-year-old likes my Aphex Twin book's cover but wonders why there are no pictures. I explained the LP has pictures, so we looked at that. ->
  • I don't know if @VibeMagazine and @EW are paying for these spam ad PR emails pushing their news links, but they're ridiculous. ->
  • RIP, Italian film music composer Riz Ortolani (87): http://t.co/kBFvuySOOZ via @geetadayal #mondocane ->
  • For this week's @djunto project, we make an ancient soundscape + raise awareness of an imprisoned coder: http://t.co/13jdupeNd9 #freebassel ->
  • On a street corner equal distance from a pho place and a pozole place. Weighed the options. Went with pozole. ->
  • Looks like that free stream of Arcade Fire's score to Her is offline. Maybe it wasn't official? ->
  • Supa cool. Apparently the Kindle edition of my 33 1/3 book on Aphex Twin's SAW2 is available for preorder http://t.co/lUoldz5rlc. #justsayin ->
