"Refrigerator Drumming 3" [mp3 removed -- please listen on Bandcamp]
Recorded and arranged in Ardour (Linux version)
Featuring: SIDGuts Deluxe module, Doepfer A-154/A-155 sequencer, Elektron Octatrack and Machinedrum
Some beats on the Machinedrum were "found" (i.e., left in ROM by the previous owner). I tweaked them quite a bit, but, hat tip to GYS for making them.
Field recording: fingernails drumming on refrigerator butter compartment, refrigerator hum.
An angry emailer, who read some criticisms of Clinton partisans on this blog posted after the election (but admits to reading none of the criticisms of the Clintons posted before the election), writes: "Maybe you feel bad or guilty that you helped Trump win and you don't want to admit it? So you are still criticizing the Hillary supporters?"
Reply: "The posts after the election were in response to emotional outbursts such as your email. Sorry if that wasn't clear."
New feature here at tommoody.us. Occasionally, when our editors notice a blogosphere blog that has moved over to Facebook we will note it and make fun of it. Guys, the trend by now should be to move away from Facebook, not to sell your soul so Mark Zuckerberg can buy another home near his home so no one can live near him.
Today's hall-of-ignominy-er:
Dataisnature. We followed this blog for years and then noticed its RSS feed wasn't active. It's posting the same type of material on Facebook now. The page design is less elegant, the posts are shorter, people's (contentless) comments and "shares" are appended to each post on the front page, and members of the non-Facebook-joining public have a big "join now" banner permanently blocking part of the page. Oh, yeah, that's progress!
"But, Tom, that blog can now scale to the rich world of social media! Before we didn't know how many people liked this content and now it's numerically quantified, and we know for a certainty how popular it is."

Some beats on the Machinedrum were "found" (i.e., left in ROM by the previous owner). I tweaked them quite a bit, but, hat tip to GYS for the three claps, etc.
