I arrive with the following music recommendations:

1) Mountains: Sewn

This album seems to be compared to the work of Fennesz and John Fahey, but I’m not so sure I see that. It doesn’t matter though, since this album is completely awesome in its own rite. It’s hard to go wrong with any release on Apestaartje. You can listen to some samples over at Boomkat.

2) Mountains: Tour 3″ CD

I bought this at Other Music, because I never saw them on tour. It’s probably only available there. It’s a 3″ CD-R – like what you’d buy at Best Buy, but every second on this two track disc is amazing. Definitely Fennesz-like here.

3) Anything from Ryoji Ikeda

On a completely unrelated note, I noticed that 12k (that is, Taylor Deupree) has started a blog. Should be fun to follow, much like michaeljardin.com.

Touch Records released a bunch of photographs from Jon Wozencroft in the form of desktop wallpaper. Wozencroft does all of the amazing cover art for albums released by Touch.

Finally, I really plan on releasing Rooter to the public (through SourceForge) soon. I just haven’t had the time. There are two areas of the project that I think could use some help: the installation process and security. Both are a little rough.
