August 21, 2001, 6:58 pm - Make like a chair and split Posted by [Joyrex is a cunt]
Yesterday, um, my chair snapped in half and I was reacquainted with the floor. That chair had tilted 45 degress backwards for the last time, having done so billions of time over the previous year or so, during which the metal got warped and consequently broke.
So I got a chair that doesn't lean back. Maybe this one will thus last longer.
While out chair shopping, I got a copy of Further Down the Spiral (the US version). It's okay. Mostly the original songs are better, but Piggy (Nothing can stop me now), Hurt (quiet), and Eraser (Polite) are very good, especially the Piggy one.
I'm going over to someone's house saturday to fiddle with an old synthesizer (Arp Odyssey) he has and talk music a bit... I wonder if my minidisc off ubid (presuming I get it) will have arrived then? I want to sample that thing...
I'm going to try to finish modifying the speak and read so I can bring that over, too. It's having minor problems. While drilling a hole through the front panel, the plastic but that covers the screen and speaker snapped in half. Oops. I say I bash it with a hammer, paint it, bash it some more, and call it art. Works for the famous circuit benders.
So I finally got around to downloading some squarepusher. Port Rhombus is quite beautiful, especially when staring out at rain.
I sleep now... I wish I could leave music on out loud while I sleep. Sleeping with headphones on is a pain. Damn the fact that I don't live alone or with someone who can tolerate mild noise...

i got the minidisc. i still have it. i have literally a medium-large tub of minidiscs i should really finish ripping someday. the guy with the arp odyssey, there was a situation: he'd constructed a tube amp and here look at my tube amp and suddenly he's freaking out saying "oh shit it's waffling" and then "you need to turn it off" and then "why me" and then "because i'm holding the guitar i'm grounded" and then i'm all "fuck no you got yourself into this why should i get involved" but eventually i just cringed and reached out and shut it off and everything was fine. i still have the bent speak and read, with the crack, the hot glue. i don't remember that specific squarepusher listening moment. the last part, actually, though, fuck yes; i have this now. i think i might blast SAW II as i go to sleep imminently

reading shit i wrote from 20+ years ago is like reading 'The Book of the Law'... its cringeworthy trash but i like to think there's some kind of praeternatural thing going on.

what blogging site were you posting on in 2001, or was it your own site?
and you then edited the username?

but actually i think this is a diary entry of when i first heard squarepusher. it was raining and i thot it was cool. i can't actually remember it, but archive.org has essentially opened up access to it for everyone. like, i'm glad i left myself a note here; but it's rather cool it's just kind of up there in some god computer along with all sorts of other stuff like that. like beowulf, this is how i will live forever

I love archive.org but never thought about blogging. I'm too introvert for that.
I uploaded both Ae/Sean AMA's to archive.org yesterday, just fyi.
Yes, in mp4 format so I have a choice: watch or just listen.
