The ARP 2600: The Story of a Legendary Synthesizer

Synth Britannia

One of the greatest music documentaries of all time. Highly recommended for anyone with even just a passing interest in the synthpop music of the 80s. Interviews with members of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Kraftwerk, The Human League, New Order/Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Depeche Mode, and many others. A joy to watch and hear.

Just discovered this may be copyright blocked if you’re in the US. Time to get a VPN and switch to a different country.:D
I personally use the paid version of the Swiss-based ProtonVPN but they do have a free version, so give that a try.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard

This legendary Melbourne band have made their entire catalogue “name your price”. Don’t be a stingey cunt, though; at least 5 bucks an album is fair.
But maybe wait until December 5th for the next Bandcamp Friday so they get more of your cash.
