Officially Can't listen to Aphex Twin Anymore

Way too many nerds and annoying people into this shit, just
cant take it anymore, WATMM always had me starting to hate
it, but this caustic window crap and the creator of
minecraft buying it is just too much.

be all like "you'll be missed" or "we'll be here enjoying
this great music" blah blah blah... just go kill yourself

please. no i am not "richard" and quite frankly the guy is
coming off as a huge TWAT with his handling of this caustic
window mess, letting people like joyrex run around and take
all these interviews and talk like he wrote it himself, I
cant tell if he's just clueless from being so separated from
the current generation of kids, and thinks that "everythings
cool, the kids like me" or if he's just way too busy and
rich to give a fuck, probably the latter, but that still
doesnt make him a huge cunt for it

ok not richard,

guess i figured all rdj ever had to do was put up a single
web page and maybe type up half a paragraph every few months
-- "no i don't have a new album steve beckett is just
mouthing off" etc. and we would have never reached this
level of steaming bullshit. too many years of silence has
caused people to start brewing up their own turd soup of
rumor and panic. if rdj had actually poked his head up every
now and then, he wouldn't be in a position of having joyrex
represent him and watmm represent his fans. i don't blame
joyrex at all; caustic window essentially just fell into his
lap....

It feels like some relic that has been dug up on time team,
I hope they commission a episode of 'cash in the attic' when
Richard dies.

I think it helps if you don't give a shit what other people
listen to, yeah its a bit annoying that some prick with a
goatee beard fawns over music he quite clearly doesn't
listen to, but that applies to most things in life.

It's because he was able to cluelessly buy this stupid
hipster-bait caustic window LP, which sounds like shit, for
50k, to act all cool with it, because he got filthy rich off
of some stupid shit-for-graphics game that, artistically,
gets shit on from a great height, by aphex twin's worst
works.

Remember this is the same guy who tried to make a huge
statement by cancelling his VR version of minecraft when
Oculus got bought out by Facebook. What a guy. I'm sure with
this purchase he's probably hoping that he'll get his foot
in the door to have aphex twin write tracks for his new
minecraft game.

Based on this caustic window LP fiasco, I'd say that would
be pretty easy. All he has to do is offer up his crusty anus
with dingleberries on the hairs for Richard D. James to come
over and lick just like he did for Joyrex.

It annoys me the fact he is probably going to ensconce it
between his coldplay and Barbara Streisand albums whilst
baking his artisan bread.

I mean to get some perspective, The guy is probably decent
in real life, i don't have any entitlement issues, infact
I'm really happy to hear it. I'm just getting old and
depressed and need more excellent music in my life.

minecraft written in java, which is a programming language

Mother of all demos

slightly off topic but I saw this the other week, was amazed
how ahead of its time it was

"The 90-minute presentation essentially demonstrated almost
all the fundamental elements of modern personal computing:
multiple windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation
and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse,
word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and
a collaborative real-time editor (collaborative work)."

they actually do something other than sit on IP

Can you officially still listen to Markus Alexei ?

Yes trolling is not amusing, the only thing you find amusing
is pointlessly defending shit-ass music no one would ever
enjoy sober and no one cares about other than burned out 40
year old ravers, feeling cool for it, and just being a huge
schmuck in general.

This is your theme song loser

I think it needs to be more of an ass-gape shape, though I
have just spent a productive two minutes trying to do the
Aphex symbol with my fingers. It can be done!

Today, and this is true. I am working in the office with
these lovely girls and they asked me what music I liked and
I tried to explain what I like and we ended up putting Aphex
Twin into Spotify (literally) and so we've had a pleasant
afternoon listening to a selection of his standards. Young
girls dig him too, they've not hated it, they've not turned
it off despite me repeatedly saying "put something else on
now" so boo to djsoftcock. YOU KNOW NOTHING!

Why are so many people on here bitching about hipsters
liking Aphex? Do they really? And if so, does it matter?

Maybe I'd find hipsters annoying too but I have never
actually met one lol. I assume they congregate in large
cities, which I avoid at all costs

I can't speak for anyone else, but for me it isn't so much
about hipsters being into aphex, but rather feeling like one
when I listen to aphex, as a result of so many of them now
being into him.

Wonder what it was like to listen to tracks he did 20 years
ago, I wonder if he has someone who audits his stuff or if
he keeps DAT tapes in empty quality street tins in his sock
drawer.

In one of the interviews he did for Analord, he mentioned
"filling in the gaps in his collection" or something. I got
the impression he's rather organized about it, but not OCD
to the point of being beyond rearranging sean booth's record
collection as a joke. Caustic Window is a collection of
noises and synth patches and techniques or something, then
he has other zones, laptop drukqs, analord acid etc. and I
figure he has things sorted so the zones don't jumble up,
and so he can resume work on it later, if the mood hits him.
That's my read of it, anyways, but maybe I'm just projecting
my own ideas onto fings

True story from my art school daze: So fucking in Color &
Design class, year 2000, we're all just sitting around and
doing our shit or whatever. Then someone is looking through
an albino dude's sketchbook, and there is this mean looking
face drawing on one page (it's the Richard D James Album
cover face). I comment on the album cover drawing (pleased
to see another fan of da underground), and the browsing
person asks what that is... The albino dude who drew it
replies: "The Aphex Twins... They're like a techno
group."


I

SHIT

YOU

NOT.

That right there, I imagine is the pain that some of you are
feeling with regards to "hipster" popularity of RDJ or
random kids with no taste or whatever.

But with all this cognitive dissonance and shit going on,
just listen to 4, and you will feel better.

Fuck the poseurs, fuck the mofoz who do things to be trendy
or whatever. RDJ has output some classic works, and that is
what's important.

I first heard Come To Daddy and Flim when doing set painting
for a Show Boat school musical in 11th grade.

"Never forget."

How dare any of you let your tastes be tainted by those
with questionable taste... DO YOU HAVE TASTE OR NOT
MUTHAFUCKA?!
