  • It's way too hot in the studio right now. I just want to finish this next record, but my face is gonna melt off if I'm in there any longer. #
  • Spent the morning in a DIY grotto built from a kiddie pool and two deck umbrellas, drinking blueberry smoothies. Best Saturday morning EVER. #

  • I'm rendering songs on the studio computer via a shared screen on my laptop in the comfy AC cooled house. Sneaky! #

  • Climbed up on the roof to record binaural firework sounds. I could hear deep distant booms rolling across the valley. Pretty! #
  • My other dog was stung by a bee today and has been following us around holding his sore paw out in front of him. Heartbreaking! #
  • Let's try this again: I discovered today that my dog finds the sound of squeaking shows terrifying! Odd. (I can't spell today) #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-07-04

  • What's with modern horror films having no real protagonist until halfway through? Not scary when you don't really care about any characters. #
  • What's worse, the preachy over-moralized horror of the 70s and 80s (sin = die), or the amoral torture porn of modern horror (pure = die)? #
  • I'm watching the Nightmare on Elm Street remake at work, trying to understand why these movies make me feel so gross. #
  • I have a track on the new SEM comp. It's free go get it! http://omfts.bandcamp.com/album/one-minute-for-the-sun #
  • Just saw Medium Cool. Fucking brilliant movie. Like a Herzog film, but switch the jungle for Chicago '68. Actors against reality, stunning. #
  • Had a camera adventure at Venice Beach with the Lomo store crew, then best lunch ever at Lotería. I'm content and sleepy now. #

  • There's something inherently wrong with J.Crew displaying a book of Francis Bacon paintings with their summer clothes. Confused. #
  • No multitasking or background image changing on the iPhone 3G with ios 4. Blah, I was looking forward to that. #
  • This is amazing! RT @MarkMosher RT @quantazelle: Kids draw what a scientist is beofre and after visiting Fermilab http://bit.ly/ajvd8y #
  • Somehow I got stuck reading about the origins of English on Wikipedia. History! #

  • I'm mentally drained. That was an intense show. Amazing sets all around. #

  • Reading Noise, Water, Meat A History of Sound in the Arts. Trying to read more art and less science for now, get a wider perspective. #

  • Am I the only one who worries that BP are more concerned with getting the oil into their barrells than with permanently stopping the leak? #
  • What was all that yelling? Did the Lakers score a touchdown? I don't follow hoop golf. #

  • Got a Diana+ macro lens for my DSLR and it looks fucking AMAZING. The lens of my dreams. I'll upload video in a sec! #
  • Best thing about my new Diana+ lens is that you can pull off the macro part while filming and get amazing warped images. YAY! #
  • A quick test I did with my the Diana+ macro! http://vimeo.com/12384682 #
  • Yes, I am watching this new Project Runway except with artists show on Bravo. Yes, I am embarrassed. #

  • Finished a four track EP for @TRDMRKorg this weekend. Look for a digital / limited cassette release this summer. More info soon! #
  • Can't wait to listen! RT @mapmap hey everyone! my new release, Arctic/Antarctic is now available: http://luxusarctica.wordpress.com #
  • Piper At The Gates of Dawn. Syd Barrett seems less insane to me the more I listen to him. I think he just hated fame, and was very odd. #
  • Pulled out the old reel2reel this evening. It's decided to make everything sound terrible in a good way. This is so going on the next album. #
  • Watching the original Funny Games. Identical to the new one so far, but in German. Haneke, you are bewildering and brilliant! #
  • When I first watched Funny Games, I had the feeling that the game was between the killers and ME. If I stopped watching, they lose. I lost. #
  • Watching the discussion on artificial life on the Science Channel. This is interesting. People are so easily frightened. #
  • The awesomeness of synthetic DNA technology is worth the fear, I think. This isn't gonna turn into splice monsters. #

  • There was far too much smiling and hugging in the Lost finale. Gross. #
  • A seriously dissapointing end to an awesome show. So the Lost island secret is a big cork stuck in some evil glowing hole? No whowhatwhy. #
  • No! Sonic Youth, what are you doing on an episode of Gossip Girl? This show is the yuckiest celebration of rich+young+white ever. Gross! #
  • Oh Radiolab, you used to be the best Sagan style science show around. Now you skip the science and go straight for the forced emotion. Blah. #
  • I find myself rolling my eyes when i listen to Radiolab now. They leap to ridiculous conclusions in order to milk the emotion from a story. #
  • Splice looks fun, but really when are we going to stop redoing the Frankenstein story? Lets have a story where scientists save everyone now. #
  • I swear, I try to say positive things into this twitter device… but complaining about movies and anti-science news is just so much fun! #
  • Why did the teabaggers have to spoil the name of my favorite drink. Couldn't they have called themselves the Mountain Dew party instead? #
  • Watching Michael Palin's Pole to Pole. So far this beats Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's Long Way Down. #
  • Apparently typing teabagger into twitter gets you attacked by twitbots that call you a libtard. Classy. #
  • Gonna listen to Múm's Finally We Are No One now. My sleepybus naptime soundtrack for today. #
  • Brothers night! Spent the evening drinking Stella, playing the new Wii Super Mario and recording gothstyle popsongs with my brother. Fun!! #

  • Dear internet, I'm sorry I keep ignoring you. I'm just real busy and stuff. Love, Ryan. #
  • A crow just ate the baby doves in our backyard. Sadness. Nature is cruel. #
  • Looking foward to this! RT @TRDMRKorg Releasing an ep for @sublamp this summer, FYI. #
  • New blog post: Presence | Torrance Museum of Art http://shiver.sublamp.com/2010/05/21/presence-torrance-museum-of-art/ #
  • Wow, angry homeless guy just would not accept that I had nothing to give him. Got all confrontational about it. 2nd time he's pulled this. #
  • Another homeless guy here always claims he just got out of the ER for seizures and needs cash for a hotel. Then asks if I love Jesus. Ugh. #
  • We found one of the baby doves that the crow attacked yesterday! He looks ok. We put him in a box with some bread and water for the night. #
  • Mixing waves of distortion is not easy. My brain hurts now. Ouch. #
  • Sipping yerba mate, rendering tracks for my EP on TRDMRK, and scanning onion skin textures for video. Multitasky! #
  • Woah wait what. Playing Kraftwerk's Computer Love, and Maria points out that Coldplay totally stole this melody. Nice catch. #
