Well, well, well, this is exciting. Our CEO Matt was interviewed by Nilay Patel for The Verge’s excellent Decoder podcast! Check it out for a fascinating discussion on what it’s like to acquire and run a social network and what the future holds.

A while back I showed the movie Decoder at the Philadelphia Psychotronic Film Society.

Vut beforehand I made a sort of video mixtape of noise experimental and subculture of the 80's and 90's to play before hand.

I had fun making it, and I hope some of you can have fun watching it.

I can't post it here because parts of it say around the 36:11 mark are CLEARLY PORNOGRAPHIC. But if you want to watch it you can watch it directly from Youtube HERE.

Or download it from my Google Drive Here

and if you are interested in Decoder here is the trailer.

KNOCKING BACK A WEE DRAMA (OR TWO) DAVID BALL: treading softly Pic by Joe Shutter

Record Mirror magazine, 23 July 1983, Simon Tebbutt — full article text bellow

If you thought David Ball, the normally quieter side of the Soft Cell, had been so silent lately he must be off digging the potatoes in his allotment — forget it.

While Cell mate Marc Almond has been busy handling his Mambas over the past months, young Dave has been beavering away on the soundtrack for a play and a film and putting the finishing touches to his soon to be released solo LP.

“This year I've spent most of my time in the studio,” he says. “I've got a lot better at building up sounds and arranging.”

The play, Tennessee Williams' ‘Suddenly Last Summer’, a steamy tale of heat-oppressed passion set in New Orleans and now running at the New End Theatre in Hampstead, came about by chance.

“I was sitting in a hotel bar and started chatting to this bloke who turned out to be an actor,” says Dave. “I said if he could think of anything that would be good to put music to but keep as a play, not a musical, then I'd be interested.

“He phoned me up about two months later and said he wanted to do ‘Suddenly Last Summer’. Tennessee Williams is perfect, he's just so dramatic.”

The music, like the play, which Dave has financed himself, is heavily atmospheric and doom laden. And it has opened doors for the musician in the wonderful world of movie soundtracks.

“I'm doing a German film called ‘Decoder’ — it stars the real Christiane F and William Burroughs makes a cameo appearance. I really like the idea of the music emphasising and sometimes overstating what is going on in the action.”

All these themes have come together in Dave's solo work, provisionally titled ‘In Strict Tempo’.

“That's because of a track on the album called Strict Tempo,” he explains. “It started off as a military rhythm and then I got David Claridge to do a voice-over talking about his club Skin II. So you've got the military side of it, the discipline, and the rubber.

“I've got Psychic TV's Genesis P. Orridge singing on a couple of tracks, one of which, ‘The Troubled Sleeper’ or ‘Sincerity’, will be a single.

“The whole album is about musical cliches all put together in the wrong order. Like taking a country and western guitar solo and putting in the middle of a funk track. But it all works. If it didn't work, I wouldn't use it.”

But don't worry, gentle reader, this flurry of individual activity doesn't spell the end for Soft Cell.

“For me doing this solo stuff has been a break,” says Dave. “Marc and I play each other what we've done all the time. We're working on ideas that we'd only dabbled in with Soft Cell. Everything is more powerful. And now we're collecting bits for a new Soft Cell album at the end of the summer.”

Come as we explore strange new video codecs 🔍🖖🎥

Our last few experiments with playing video+audio on the ESP32-S3 involved converting an MP4 to MJpeg + MP3, where MJpeg is just a bunch of jpegs glued together in a file, and MP3 is what you expect. This works, but we maxed out at 10 or 12 fps on a 480x480 display. You must manage two files, and the FPS must be hardcoded. With this demo https://github.com/moononournation/aviPlayer we are using avi files with Cinepak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinepak and MP3 encoding - a big throwback to when we played quicktime clips on our Centris 650. The decoding speed is much better, and 30 FPS is easily handled, so the tearing is not as visible. The decoder keeps up with the SD card file, so you can use long files. This makes the board a good option for props and projects where you want to play ~480p video clips with near-instant startup and want to avoid the complexity of running Linux on a Raspberry Pi + monitor + audio amp. The only downside right now is the ffmpeg cinepak encoder is reaaaaallly slooooow.

Heard Slate's Decoder podcast rebroadcast of an episode of The Smithsonian's Sideboard podcast about an artist hated by critics which ended with a great Jerry Saltz quote.

Tumblr CEO and owner of Automattic @photomatt in conversation.

I've been using Tumblr as long as WordPress (following Matt), since 2009. Never met, never spoken in real time. But I trust this person more than anyone that runs for profit companies. (Maybe a couple others, like Jim Thibaut at Deluxe SF. AH18 forever 🤘)

Tumblr has always been different, in all the best ways. I believe in Matt's values for this community and believe he'll continue to do his best to do his best for all of us.

I would love to hear from differing views (or any views 😉). How to continue to grow and support and rise together?

My answer is to take the time to share my thoughts on autonomy, owning your own content, why we're all 'creators', open source and the ethos behind it, WordPress, and all good humans, on Tumblr daily.

Day 1 - I believe in Tumblr, the people stewarding, and am endeavoring to contribute as much as I've been given.
