i think he's going to take a massive dump this week on the 18th. given that his birthday is friday and the next day is a saturday... i, too, foresee a massive D.A.D.S.¹ early saturday afternoon, ginger time ¹ Day After Drinking Shit |

i wonder what it's like having your soundcloud avatar changes analyzed in the context of your upcoming birfday by loads of people you don't know on the internet |

Tomorrow is Aphex's birthday |
||||||||
|

Ok nothing happened. D'oh. |

nonsense. i posted a perfectly good birthday thread with a lil' song i made for him and you totally ignored it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...which was both self-serving and from the heart; i'm sure a combo he appreciates. that it's my track but it's his birthday and people are all IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CHANGED YOUR AVATAR WHERE IS THE NEW MUSIC so i say "oh stop trainspotting" and then of course he doesn't and you're left with just mine |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and here, instead of being demanding, i made something for you, that's how birthdays are supposed to go? |

i blame umbro he jinxed it |

Exclusive pink covered vinyl according to Reddit there's 100 copies at the show then vouchers you can buy to get the record posted to you |
||||||||

I hate these releases. Why not just make more copies for everybody? |

I hate these releases. Why not just make more copies for everybody? busine$$. artificial scarcity increases the perceived value. if every pink vinyl were direct to bleep, then: - everyone would buy it at once... - ...leading to no one feeling special and privileged [like afx is giving them a personal ride in the "ferret"]... - ...since people don't feel like they've won the lottery they are more likely to objectively evaluate the pink vinyl... - ...and realize it's just a DJ mix and autechre's are better... - ...and finally everyone would have two or three pink vinyls and no one would buy them anymore HOWEVER!! you'll be able to pirate it soon enough; what's the harm in warp selling a small run at jizzing-fanboy level prices? they probably make more off this than a large run because they can charge more per record and shipping costs are balls. i'm fine with things as i see it. except for umbro needing to take some deep breaths |

one of the new tracks is called soog e goose? |

the formats: (few minutes for lots of cash) dont tempt me. i skipped many eps, except for the analords or collapse, should have skipped cheetah actually, but i was craving.. the hype: good for those involved the money made: again good for those involved its better than starving musicians. i dont want anybody to starve to make more music. then again, i wouldnt have minded a few more minutes on the latest real release though, at least to justify a physical purchase. i mean the artwork is a stunner but the music is over before you really indulged it. and apart from the first track the remaining 2 and a half still feel kind of unfinished to me. anyway new music is always good to hear, and there is a great track. so heres to my whiny miiimiii miny moe. |

for little cash. Absolutely worth a listen better than the new afx I miss his more experimental stuff ICBYD thru drukQs |

i think i just got really tired of "acid music" tho. |

hah, thought the same, the last time i heard a blaring 303 in a oldschool rave track, but that moment will probably pass and some other time im glad for some soft touch bassline and mellow synth sounds. the joyful playness of ceephax and the top notch syntheme goonerie tend to get me every time. recently id love some albums that have that atari/amiga/tracker sound, im talking about the tracker that was really good at making metallic sounding pitch bending stuff, like in late 80s eraly 90s pinball machines, once again i forgot the name of the tracker that does it on pc. |

Kind of like this Dan Forden stuff glad about the more abstract slow afx tracks here too |

I really want those as physical release! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

It's not business. They could make tons of cash selling them in high numbers. I read an article once that Richard sells these at concerts so the people buying them can get a little money back for the high entrance prices. It would have been nice from warp if they'd sell other copies after the tour. F.e. in a concert ep.box or.something like that. Now I can only get my hands on them for ridiculous prices. |

you want cd? |

you want cd? - he wants a physical release - he wants vinyl - pressed from FLAC |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only buy 88.2kHz CDs now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and two step, and 54-foot slide |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Or vinyl, no flac. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's the difference between a physical CD and buying a FLAC other than consuming more of the planet's resources pressing and shipping something for one of them? just sayin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
obviously he likes holding the cd case and rubbing the booklet on his chest. do you have a problem with that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't put flac in my car's cd player. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In that case I prefer the vinyl release, I've got a big chest. |

field day was ok. aphex was great. the festival was kinda meh, didnt feel any of the other artists. arca or orca before afx i walked away from. was very "look at me i'm on stage" personality non stop and cringe for days. aphex set was fantastic, so many good ones. the brooklyn unreleased track 5 that has been my absolute favvvvv - and all the lights got toned down just blackness and green lasers. so good hearing that out cant stress enough. marion from the older field day. RFC (and he played the whole thing out too - what a treat). analord 9 slammmmmmmmmmed hard. overall one of the best sets i just wish there was room to dance. not a fan of festivals and field day is like everything i hate pushed to 11. had to arrive an hour or so early to get a decent spot in the middle and just too many people crammed in and talking. but it was still wicked seeing him in the park |

this morning i dreamt i was in a a festival crowd just entering the venue, when a promoter or tv team came asking, "whos crazy mad dancer and loves a good time" or something and then i kind of forced myself in there within the youthsters to be brought on a shuttle bus to some other parts of the stages to be filmed for marketing bs or so. all the while i just hoped the music was gonna be any good and not bland. weird dream haha, thinking now that i love a good spot to dance, spotlight or not and do crave a decent festival. this year i have only been to some free band evenings where the hat passes and a one time rollerdisco and one drum and bass night. they were all great but i could do with a bit more. damnit there was this one night in the bretagne, when after a gyspy polka band where i danced on the street a dj came and she played the best house set i ever heard in the crepes cafe minutes from the camping. it was all full of arpegggio italo style, but also had tons of other playful synth and some dubby vocal elements. it was all i wanted for christmas. then i had to argue with my wife who wasnt dancing and wanted to leave, when everybody in that place wanted to enjoy that two and a half hours of freaking out and had the times of their lives. now i wanna see afx damnit. not playing any place close to me again. and the prices at the closest festival were just absurd. you can make a vacation on that kind of money. |
