I learned about this (great) album from a Flash cartoon on Newgrounds.

If you're never watched/listened to the entire performance in London, go do it. I was in high school when it was published. Absolutely crazy what he did live. Nowadays most "DJ"s are just hitting play in Ableton.

It's such a great album. I'll listen to Building Steam With a Grain of Salt on a loop for an hour or two. I looked up tickets for the tour date closest to me but on the second cloudflare check I got annoyed and closed the tab before it finished.

I listened to this album about a dozen times trying to like it over the years, but it's just so repetitive I could not like it. I think you could probably cut the runtime in half and not lose any discrete musical parts.

Missed opportunity to title article "DJ looks back, sees his own Shadow"

Why technology sucks in '26.
