in the sunny side if France, they don't wear pants
that Egyptian-in-a-disneyland kinda melodic feel is one of the modal scales, I believe
I honestly have trouble thinking in scales, it's about patterns and proportions to my brane

i was drinking black cherry soda from trader joe's and i decided to try and rip off cherry twist by crystal method. it would be another year or two before i even tried alcohol, let alone anything else. i fully expected to hate this, playing it back again, but it's actually quite alright. you can hear some of my earliest use of the prophet VS in this, which i'd bought off ebay with summer job money

in 2003, i auctioned off a song commission, i will do whatever the heck you want if you win the bid. the man that won ($15) requested i do a song for his girlfriend's birthday, and it had to involve dogs

i had been hoping for more money, but i had fun making it, and he absolutely loved it.

jugular, rather popular with my classmates in high school. it featured quotes from many of them, re-recorded as voiceover, and some of their voices, by me with a pestering minidisc walking around the halls. ~farewell, kind sir~

cover of "down in it" by NiN with vocals done using AT&T deaf relay operator service for all vocals, and some very deliberate half-ass Prophet VS mashing. i bought that keyboard as my first proper synth purchase because trent reznor was always on about it, so i figured i was good to cover a NiN song

was quite an effort doing that. i enlisted my high school partner in crime to engage the deaf relay service interface and type up the lyrics two or three times, as i eagerly recorded it all

deaf relay service is a service in the US for deaf people. you log on to the web site and the operator will say whatever you type. we'd already used it on the school payphone a bajillion times and covering a song seemed proper next level
(go ahead)

cacti reminded me of guy that sang (talked over some techno tracks) about about vampires in new york and a gay boy who made a virus to kill off the human race. he was quite a big act I remember but cant remember the names. found this while searching for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXdupPQ3UmI
the captain planet remix is quite acidy I remember making stuff in fl years years ago. also this shitty program called "dance machine". that was more than 25 years ago
hahaha how did you came up with the idea to auction a song commission?

selling CDs to my classmates for $5 a CD, whatever they wanted me to pirate on it. good profit. other classmates had CD burners and/or cable modems, but torrents didn't exist; you had to IRC XDCC or audiogalaxy or whatever, so business was brisk. you want 3D Studio Max? sure, tomorrow

C64, obviously. dad got us a C64 as a "kid's computer." i actually have a very crusty old memory of going to the store with him to buy it, a long-defunct chain called "the bit bucket." i played a game or two on the C64, but i also remember using it as a baseball bat as my sister hurled a whiffle ball at me in the basement. i was, like, six. by 9, though, i had a PC, and i was into it. i love the the c64 aesthetic but i was really never a part of it; just joining in a decade or two later

the older i got, the more i felt i could make money legally, a decent amount of it, and live in more peace than i ever could as a criminal. in my deepest moments, i've contemplated ransomware, all that -- in the end, i decided: i loved that easy cash in high school. if i get a 10x taste of that with holding people's data hostage, i won't ever be able to appreciate a real job. i'll get hooked on the easy cash, i'll get stupid, and then i'll get caught, and then i'll get caught. so, yes, it was glorious surfing the early cash waves of the internet -- before the first dot com boom, you could make ten email addresses and get $10, a free polar fleece just for that. now, people shut down hospital networks and ask for $100k. i'd be good at that for a little while, then i'd promptly shoot myself in the foot
i do enjoy the angles, though. money is a tangible result to all the abstract puzzling

there is also just... i dunno, the satisfaction of subverting a system. classic hacker mindset. listing out all the ways you could rip off the mini-market at work, without actually really caring to do so. just, you know, fuck you, fuck your stupid insecure mini-market. there's a camera filming me as i pay for shit but no actual camera on the stock? jesus christ

exactly the sort of scam that worked before the internet. guys would just draw up official-looking invoices, send them to proctor-gamble or whatever. most times, these invoices would be rightly ignored. every now and then, though, since it was such a huge company, someone would just pay it without checking to make sure it was legit. guys made thousands this way. many eventually went to jail

irony is, my dad threw out the C64 one day and i was rather upset, because it was a year or three past the point when i began to properly care about computers. i did, however, managed to salvage an apple IIe with an exceedingly rare, dope, accelerator card, and hung onto that for a good many years. here is a buddy and i writing BASIC graphic displays on it on acid
LAZY_TITLE
it was a rather nice moment. i remember thinking: wow, this is what the 80s must have been like... no internet, some computer about as fast as a graphics computer, but still fighting over the keyboard out of excitement

black cherry- would make good contra iii music cacti- weird surreal horror cacti paranoia. I like the comedy+horror genre (army of darkness and mellowgold)
happy birthday- maybe this is what son of sam heard in his head, be careful. Yeah ebay was fun/free before monopolized by organized crime.
jugular-hmm down in it-heh, call shitty customer service lines and have them unknowingly provide lyrics for you. the government just pretends to help deaf etc to virtue signal when really they steal everyone's income and force a restaurant with only 4 parking spaces to have like half of them be handicap parking, using law to sabotage their cartel competition
It's practially ethical to scam money out of big corporate actors, their secretary probably paid it, they stole all the land and their whole system is fraudulent fascism. 'the satisfaction of subverting a system'- there's no economic niches anymore. It's all mopped up, work at walmart or get lucky in the no longer new gold rush of narcissistic self cringe whoring on youtube. I'm reading a book on gemstones, they make it illegal (weaponized law) for the masses to mine any gems, they have to do it by stealth and are sometimes killed for trying. Others control slaves who dig the diamonds etc for them. A bunch of war to obtain stupid sparkly things rich jerks wear on their stupid crowns. All disney movies are about these royalty, all rpgs, only the royalty matter in the popular culture that was created by the royalty.

yeah the thing about making money legally its that its probably through some scam scheme that was made legal. either you make up that scam yourself or you work for someone who made it up, so even if it is legal its still unethical. the world is a mad place. if something is legal and ethical it probably has a very low profit margin. just typing my frustrations into this box.

my trade is programming, and when i was last looking for a job, i more or less told recruiters, "please, god, don't send me anything where the business model is 'let's make a stupid app and sell ads'"
what i really wanted was a company that "created value." not some bullshit ad-supported app, not some "disruptive" parasitic business model like uber... and, yeah, wouldn't you know it, such companies do exist. the one i work for was essentially founded because a guy said, "this shit fucking sucks, this is painful and retarded, i can't take it, i'm just going to write some software to do it for me." he had no intention to start a company. but then people started asking for a copy
most companies start with a solution and try to find a problem to solve. "it's a new machine learning algorithm!" "what does it improve?" "i dunno, we're still trying to figure that out, but we've raised $10mil in funding"
