Verspannungskassette #104 (C-90) & a tiny little Announcement

Hey folks, it took me a bit to finally get that latest batch of blog posts out but just be aware that even when there’s nothing happening on the public-facing end of this blog, there’s always work already going on in the background – so many feeds to get through, so much shit to listen to, sort and curate, mixtapes to be recorded, digitized and timestamped, the actual writing of the posts and their translation (english to german usually ‘cos that’s somehow easier for me), audio to be edited for the radio stream, technical maintenance to be done for my various web projects and presences… heck, even the sloppy proofreading and final publishing of the blog posts takes a couple of hours usually.

I’m doing it all ‘cos i love doing most of that shit. And now there’s also that radio show… yeah you got that right, roughly seven years after i axed the monthly 12XU Radio show, that old bastard just got reanimated, the first edition is in the can already and the show will air every four weeks on the still new-ish and exciting local community station Radio Makro. It’s gonna be german-only for now ‘cos ya know… one thing at a time, though from the March episode onwards i’m also planning – as i feel would be appropriate for a bilingual blog – to poop out an unpolished, low-effort english language edition that’ll premiere either on mixcloud or the 12XU stream or, probably, both, not too long after the initial Radio Makro broadcast so stay tuned for that shit too and mark in your calender the 18th of February when the first new episode premieres at 18:00 Berlin time or 17:00 UTC.

Oh, and you’ve probably already realized there’s a new Mixtape too ‘cos you’re looking at it right now so there’s that. I’m still unsure if i’ll keep those tapes going as ususal or if i’ll just start doing fewer of them or maybe just stop them altogether when my tape deck bites the dust or i run out of my current stash of tapes to record on… still plenty of ’em left though. Just gonna have to see how easily i’m gonna keep up with the workload.
