Lady Swordfighter: Escape from Hachijō-jima – #seanWolcott

> Delivering an earth-shattering dose of psychedelic #jazz-funk, jidaigeki, and haunted exploitation score, it fuses traditional #Japanese instrument masters— #shakuhachi, #koto, #shinobue, #taiko, and #Noh—with neck-snapping grooves, fuzzed-out psych, ritual drums, soaring horns, and soul-drenched ballads.

Lady Swordfighter 修羅女武者 – #seanWolcott

> A love letter to Japanese soundtracks and cinema, “Lady Swordfighter” is part sonic kabuki play, part cult exploitation soundtrack, featuring a cast of traditional Japanese instrument maestros, including the #shakuhachi, #koto, #shamisen, #taiko drums, and more. Journey through a soundscape of soulful ballads, haunting chants, blood-splattered guitars, head-chopping beats, and ominous horns

This is a lovely sort of jam record from 2019 that really just came and went with no attention: "guitar, modular synth, computer, sampler and contact microphone."

I really, really recommend it. Revisiting it in 2025 and loving it.

Is #NeuKrautRock a hashtag? Haha.

How browsers REALLY load Web pages

> This talk is a deep dive into how browsers decide when to load a specific resource, and some ways in which you can influence them to modify their behaviour (so you can make sure that important LCP image is definitely one of the first things to come in!). We will look at A LOT of different waterfalls and discuss why each looks the way it does, why browsers often make different decisions, and how to solve common problems https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4852-how-browsers-really-load-web-pages #webDev #FOSDEM
