Content warning I knew this was worse than was being reported on, but couldn't read the full lawsuit. I had hoped Caelan would have done a video, and he did. If you can, this is very worth the watch. I could see how this could have been me www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXRm...

TONIGHT!!!! Are you in Pittsburgh tonight? Do you like electronic music? Then DON'T miss this one! Stoneburner always bring it live, and I've got a couple special things planned! Come on out and say hi!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
That was a fun one! played some of the Kate Bush live version of the Ninth Wave. Got really absurd with some of the mixes, particularly in the raid train portion, which is always satisfying for me!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
live now, music in about 10 minutes! 2 hours of normal stuff, then a raid train for a friend's birthday! www.twitch.tv/doorsinthela...

Last day for ticket presales! Don't miss this one, Stoneburner is amazing live, and Jim (Red Lokust) was teasing that they have a surprised planned! I've got a couple surprises of my own, so don't miss it! www.distortionprod.com/tickets/ston...

on bandcamp you can see referer domains for people who found their way to your page (or "direct link" for, well, you know). Click a link to a song from here, it'll say bsky.app (and you should). today was a new one. chatgpt.com sigh. it better not be anyone writing promo for thursday's show

soulful ballads about the most soulless thing in modern society I'd rather sing songs about watching paint dry!

oooh, I should play the live version of the Ninth Wave on stream this week!

RIP Robert Redford this (and Sneakers) are probably my favorites with him, but so many great ones, and he was an activist on the right side of issues (environmental issues, LGBTQ+ rights, etc). Big RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH30...

I'll be doing my standard stream this wednesday, but the last hour will be helping celebrate a friend making it around the sun once more! I'll have to plan out something special, but from 8-10pm eastern, the usual nonsense! Raid trains saturday and sunday too, and a show on thursday, busy week!

I'm already putting in an order for the first round!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
my streams are chaotic; all genres of music, just stuff that I love. A lot of folks on twitch treat it more like a dance club, and that's cool too, or do dedicated chill/ethereal streams. I've done some themed sets, but I much prefer being weird and all over the place!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
thanks for making great music! always excited to share stuff I love with people! I play "Flutter" and "lullaby" of yours a fair bit, they always go over well!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
Finally sat down with the new release from @katesattler.bsky.social and of course absolutely loved it! those who regularly come to my streams know there are songs I fixate on and play almost every week. I expect "Hydra" to be on that list sweetfreeze.bandcamp.com/album/dance-...
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
chipper music/depressing lyrics is my comfort food! well, also just depressing music too, but still!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
They've got a bunch. Not everything was great, but every album had at least one or two really good songs. "Walk On The Ocean" is a favorite of mine. This playlist has 2 songs by Belly, so I 100% approve. Lots of other good stuff too, but I do love Belly more than most bands!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
my reaction to this demonstrates that I am, in fact, a horrible person. anyway, *plays again*
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
Okay, that was the first "if I play this good at the show I'll be happy" rehearsal. I still need to tighten up a couple of the songs, particularly Dead Man's Party, but damn, that was really good! Thursday at Sidequest with Stoneburner, PGH folks!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
I picked up a Lewitt Pure Tube about a year ago and I absolutely love it. They've got their budget mic on the list, but if you've got a bit more cash, highly recommended

I was homeless once. Many people I know have been homeless. But even if I wasn't, suggesting "murdering the poors" on live fucking tv is just disgusting and unconscionable.

Look, I don't play well with others, it's not my fault!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
nice to see so many friends who usually catch me on Wednesday coming over to a Thursday! I won't make a habit of it, but this month is going to be a bit screwy. Some tracks from the new Chameleons in there! Digging the album so far!

Same here! My partner and I were trading music around 2006, and they sent me this and Reich's Music For 18 Musicians, both of which just stunned me fir different reasons!

tonight is Wednesday on a Thursday! Same madness, different day! I got some cds at the show I played last night, so some new favorites to share! I also might be doing this again on the 25th if I go see Leathers and Soft Vein on the 24th. But that's a problem for future me! Tune in tonight!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
just had a great live jam with @onezero.bsky.social ! dark ambient guitar duet, we got very myserious and brooding with it! hopefully we can do it again sometime!

Reminder that there will be NO stream tonight! Instead, @onezero.bsky.social and I will be doing a collaborative improv ambient guitar set, opening for Don Slepian at the Government Center in Pittsburgh! Tickets here (I'm subbing in for Luke) donslepianpittsburgh.brownpapertickets.com

As you approach the monolith It slowly loses form No edges to distinguish Swallowing horizons You wonder why you came If this is all that you could see Your bones will join the others At the base of the monolith It was all worthwhile
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
It draws in hearts and minds Becomes all that they desire Harvesting ambition Consuming fragile souls The monolith becomes a need No escape from the reminder Ready to sacrifice everything Just to understand
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
doorsinthelabyrinth.bandcamp.com/track/the-mo... The monolith towers over Its shadow touches all An ever present sentinel With an unknown purpose Obsession circles round the monolith Can its mysteries be known? Can anyone make the journey? The monolith silently waits

I really just want a Diablo clone with the vibe of the Dreamcast Lodoss game, but it's possible that just grabbed me because of the anime
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
really GOOD rehearsal for next week's show. still a little rough on the Boingo cover, but I've got a week to get it together a bit more. "The Monolith", however, has never sounded better! now to shift gears and practice for tomorrow's show! rehearsing for an improv set is odd
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
I had fun with that one...for a few hours. didn't get super far, put it down and never went back to it. I ought to, it was fun enough, just didn't grab me the way I had hoped it would
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
well, in that case, you'll definitely be there this week, and hopefully some other folks will be watching too and get you there sooner!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
let's get it done! I'm not sure if it'll count, if you need unique views or just total views, but I'll start the playlist over when I get to the end. Hopefully we can get you there this week!

just finishing up a re-watch of the WHOLE SAGA! if you're not to the required time yet, you should be pretty close!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
this week Wednesday is on a Thursday, becasue I'm playing a live show on Wednesday! Everything is topsy-turvy this week! and if you are in Pittsburgh, come to the Government Center on Wednesday at 7pm for some live improvised guitar ambient!

they were one of those local bands I'd go to see EVERY time they played, and danced myself to pieces. They put out a second album as Kelly Supercool as well, with some of my live favorites.

i don't know what is big or what isn't, but a Pittsburgh local from the 90s put out one of the most manic gleeful power pop albums that more people should hear www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_b_...

a bit of a rabbit hole, trying to find this remix. I've determined it's on the Exit Trance Speed vol 5, which discogs says it's 3:51 timewise, but the Spotify version is the full 5:46. Import anime cds, I want to make sure it's right before buying it But I need this www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOSq...

instrument choics is always the trick! with what I'm planning I might go active pickups just for the gain, but I also have a pretty awesome octave mandolin I haven't used live yet. However, it's single coils so it might be too noisy for this rig
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
always hardware for me! planning on jamming along with those tracks you suggested, if it works the way I want it to, I'll send you a recording so you can hear where I'm coming from!
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
thanks! had a similar rig for a harsher noise thing I did a couple weeks ago, but this is an ambient gig, so need to be a bit more delicate with it. though Hello Kitty is staying on the board, even if I don't end up using it
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
First draft of a rig for the improv set with @onezero.bsky.social next week. Need to decide what guitar I want to bring, but that fed into this for textural atonal stuff, with the DS-2 synth for quiet chirpy noises. playing with it this evening, see if I can get the range of sounds I want
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
also, most of those "vaccine related illness/deaths" are more likely to still be covid, not the vaccine. but that's another story entirely
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
on one hand, he's right. on the other, it's because covid deaths were (and still are) HIGHLY underreported. Particularly early pandemic where they were ascribing the deaths to the "underlying causes". You can say the number is higher than what we know, but not lower.

It's mc chris' birthday, so I thought I'd play a few more than usual of his songs! Zero plan, over tired, and I thought my transitions were surprisingly good! I should be exhausted more often (no I should not)
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
Live now, music in 15! I'm over-tired, so let's see if three hours is possible! www.twitch.tv/doorsinthela...
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
set for the stoneburner show clocking in at 28:40. So it'll be pretty tight, I'll need to keep the babble to a minimum or just cut a song, but where's the fun in that?
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
this has been largely my experience as well. lots of good folks out there, and that definitely gives me very little patience for those who aren't
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social)
I usually take a nap before my stream, but my sleep schedule has been pretty fucked lately. So no nap, but streaming at 8pm, as per protocol, and hopefully I'll be tired enough to sleep through the night at a normal hour!

I still like some of the words Petunias and a whale, Agrajag's latest fate Murdered again in an improbable way Under three pillars and two shining bales The Bistromath made it a moment too late Prak told the truth about life itself Most held forgotten Except parts about Dent But mostly about frogs

that was cathartic. I wish I had a better microphone at that time, and a little more confidence to just sing it like myself instead of the terrible Tibet impression! But that's half the fun I suppose

this is my Boingo cover, if you want to play along. The original is a straight forward 4/4. I also pick the tempo up a little in the chorus, but not as much as I think I do, really gotta watch that paralunarecords.bandcamp.com/track/dead-m...
Doors In The Labyrinth (@doorsitlabyrinth.bsky.social) reply parent
it's that little starting back up for two beats on the first/last chord, and making sure you're clean on the B natural against the E-flat power chord. Root, 5th and flat 5th makes for a tasty chord, and leaving it as a suspended 6th in the next chord is nice ....I listen to The Church a lot
