RSA December 23rd 2024

The last show before Christmas, and one more week until the 2024 best of show! I'm actually having real frustrating problems with Facebook now. Enough that if it wasn't for this show I'd be deleting accounts and groups and leaving the damn enshittified platform entirely. So looks like I'll be posting shit on my phone for the next few weeks while they figure out password recovery instead of sending people into looping menus. As always, show notifications are posted on BlueSky and Instagram as well. I also noted that ~300 emails have been "bounced" off the list, so who knows how people are finding this every week. Just subscribe with your favourite podcast app. But with frustration set aside for a moment, we've got some really great stuff for everyone, especially another Destroy Me Again track, as we got a lot of great positive feedback about the track we played last week!

I slaved over a hot hard drive for an extra long time this week! Not only do I have this weeks show done for you all, but I have the 2024 best of show mixed. December 30th is going to be a good day for everyone to try out their new devices with a nice long show. This week we have a lot of great stuff, including a remix/cover that was brought to my attention on BlueSky. Get ready for everything from Futurepop to Synthpop to Stompy aggro techno! Destroy Me Again - Unhappiness (Trance) Volkoff - Awaiting Wisborg - Kalt Wie Eis (Frozen Plasma) Future Lied To Us - Complex NeuroWulf - No Guiding Light Schwefelgelb - Open World Game Phase Fatale - Altars The KLF - What Time Is Love (Bastian's World) http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

RSA December 9th 2024

So I've looked at the calendar and gotten RSA all planned out to the end of the year. The annual best of show is coming along nicely, and Monday doesn't fall on any holidays, so I won't really need to take a week off this year. I think I've already taken my statuatory 2 shows off this year, so the next delay probably won't happen until April/May. Anyone speak Polish or Ukrainian? I'll be in Warsaw and Lviv around that time. This week we go through some new releases as I try to get the show posted before Europe has dinner and drinks! Frontal Boundary - Das Blut Infiziert PreEmptive Strike 0.1 - Pause In Chaos Stop The Madness (Single) DSTRTD_SGNL - Noise The Cohrsi - Fuhl Mein Herz (Desastroes) Darkness On Demand - Dust Simon Carter - Moondancer (Stefan Netschio) Interface - Zero Sum State Of Anguish - Down Here http://synthetic.org/ https://synthetic.threadless.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@RealSyntheticAudio

RSA December 2nd 2024 - Show #1415!

Welcome to RSA episode #1415! I don't really keep track of stuff like that, every few years I'll check the spreadsheet and think "I've been doing this a while haven't I?" But it isn't inertia, I pretty much start every Tuesday on a new show and spend a few days listening to music. Its really not exactly what I'd call a hardship. Though I did realize that after last weeks extra long show, I have to start compiling the annual best of. I've gotten a good start on it, and am brainstorming ideas for the extra long theme show I always try to do during the membership drive. But we'll burn those bridges when we come to them. For now, enjoy early December!
