I do this manually each Saturday, collating recent tweets I made at [twitter.com/disquiet](https://twitter.com/disquiet), which I think of as my public notebook. Some tweets pop up in expanded form or otherwise on Disquiet.com sooner. It’s personally informative to revisit the previous week of thinking out loud.
▰ “If you’d prefer to wait in silence, press 4.”
▰ Waiting for the *What If…?* episode in which the Watcher recalls that he once, long ago, played Jean-Michel Basquiat, and that Basquiat had once, long ago, drawn superheroes.
▰ The first day of every month is when I’m reminded of how many Mailman-powered email lists I’m subscribed to.
▰ Ida WFH. Rob Walker [recorded](https://soundcloud.com/murketing/the-sound-of-ida-in-my-home-office-late-morning-august-29-2021) the sound of the hurricane from his New Orleans home office on August 29th:
▰ [Highlights](https://disquiet.com/2021/08/31/this-week-in-sound-the-12262-megaphone/) from latest [This Week in Sound](http://tinyletter.com/disquiet) issue: smart speaker surveillance, listening to gravitational waves, the $12,262 megaphone, AI crime-fighting failure, newfangled hold music, Val Kilmer’s new voice, and more.
▰ Set my Zoom background to a production still from *Devs*. Right now I’ll take a machine-learned dystopia over reality.
▰ Current status
(Fact check: I’m not actually watching *Billions* at this moment. Just mental/emotional status.)
▰ I recently bought a second 25″ screen. All I keep on it is a pair of browser windows, each a spreadsheet. It’s the best whiteboard for such things because when I want to I just turn it off (or pull up footage of someone wandering Tokyo), and I don’t have to look at the lists.
▰ Just gonna have “Phaedra” off the upcoming Amon Tobin album, *How Do You Live*, on repeat until the good news outdoes the bad news. So, for a while.
Technically I’m listening to Amon Tobin’s “Phaedra (People Scraping the Outside of the Building Prior to Painting Because I Need to Recharge My Noise Cancelling Headphones’ Battery Remix),” but I’m pretty sure the original is awesome, too.
▰ I can no longer hear the work being done on the building so maybe they’re taking a break but more likely I have simply, fully, willingly succumbed to this song.
▰ Perhaps you’d be astonished by how many press releases and announcements go out for singles and albums saying nothing about the music. Here’s the cover, here’s some merch (need another branded tote?), here’s a moody artist photo. Thanks for the inbox clutter. Unsubscribe. Delete.
▰ It’s a Bandcamp Friday, but rather than list a few records I recommend, or other people’s lists of recommended records, maybe I’ll recommend other people’s lists of other people’s lists of recommended records. Or, you know, suggest people read some reviews and buy some records.
