Don’t donate any extra funds to our artist pages. Warp takes that money. Feel free to file a lawsuit. Tah! i'm afraid i don't understand. i thought bandcamp was for buying albums? it's not gofundme? i suppose it'd make sense that i've entirely missed that bandcamp supports donations. which warp just pockets. you know what? no one held a gun to your head and made you sign to warp. you should have read the fine print. it could be worse, really -- you could be an indie game developer whose adultSwim-published game is about to get demonetized in order to help Warner Brothers save money on taxes https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/03/its-kind-of-depressi cite ~ ng-wb-discovery-pulls-indie-game-for-business-changes/ https://www.polygon.com/24093815/warner-bros-adult-swim-gam cite ii ~ es-steam-delisting next you'll be complaining that taylor swift gets the whole spotify pool for re-recorded versions of songs people have already bought. |

i'd like to hear new squarepusher, but i really shouldn't buy anything at the moment. i can't say "can't" because it's more technically "i could buy something, but then the payment to the phone company won't go through i could certainly pirate it. i'm actually quite bored of buying downloads -- "no, what i really want is the vinyl," i think. i pause and think some more "right, i threw my turntable in the dumpster when my landlady sold the place out from under me mid-lease [because the jewish temple next door offered her BUUKUU BUX, merci]" and i already bought plenty of vinyl i can't listen to when finances were better tim sweeny sends all the bandcramp money to china anyways |

unless i see a dramatic uptick in people arguing about whether or not DOZYTROME is better than be up a hello. i think i'll just renew some domain names. and pay my fone bill. people donated money to you and warp simply kept it? that's curious |

i think i'll just renew some domain names wicked apropos really discordogs expires in a week or two. i might have the cash. probably. i paid $5 for a "NANO" server when i noticed it was expiring soon -- i just deleted all my good servers; let's buy a really crappy one and make the stupidest 2003 website ever ...and gosh, this is actually kind of fun. it's kind of come full circle did you know? i used to rush through my homework fast as i could so i could PROGRAM COMPUTERS ...and then i'm a senior in college; comp sci. on top of my courseload i'm hacking PHP in the school IT dept. summer and winter breaks i already have an arguably "real" C++ job and -- oh, shit. programming is the homework now. so then i begin rushing through that to PIRATE NEW VST PLUGINS. no, wait, that's starting to feel too much like programming. i need a room full of warm humming physical synths, 30 hour days, and a lot of psychedelics now i am at a place where i think: "ohhh, this track could be SICK" "...but, christ, there's so much to take care of. i have six good hours before i get sleepy and UGH there's no way about it i have to leave the gear on and sink tomorrow into this track too" i still write music but i've begun simply switching the gear off when i hit that point, rather than actually see it through. ugh, annoying, that's a lot of work i'd rather fuck with this $5 server. i start apache and it's out of ram; can this turd even handle mariadb on top of that? OH! I KNOW! i'll just use sqlite and flat files and unix fifo pipes and rape the cloudhost's SSDs! because they've missed finding a way to charge me overages for that i think hyperflake has a good similar idea with lannerblog spoticles, but programming is more fun than writing is planet mu bankrupt yet? |

i'm gone from twitter for years now, but it was p. good in 2020 or 2021 or something when [someone with name recognition that i'd never heard of] hosts these live pandemic album listening sessions, and because [recognizable name] the actual artists began showing up to some of them. leftfield was a good one, but absolute tops was tom chemical showing up and saying things like "elektrobank started off as a remix bjork rejected," and he said she replied, "'i will never have a slap bass sound on my record'" ...but then casually he's saying "yeaaaahhh this sound, i sampled the VCS3 into the E-MU and then i was just spamming the crap out of it with sample startpoint messages, it was crazy, i had it going backwards and forwards and..." and i promptly lose my shit because i cannot tell you how many hours i spent on the train [leading up to the pandemic] trying to figure this exact noise out and here he is just speaking about it off the cuff. every guess i had was wrong. i like the real answer better. i think it really speaks to the psychology at work in this sort of music. same as the 303 was not intended for acid house, whoever designed that E-Mu sampler did not anticipate this. and what are you doing to my design? this is abuse! this is not what the sample start parameter is for stop abusing my sampler right now i miss my yamaha dx200. the cpu in that thing barely cut it and too much MIDI thru signal at once and it'd lose its marbles in a gloriously musical way this $5 server has a whole 512mb of ram to play with. who says you need a database server to run a message board? hard drives are quick these days and everything in unix is a file; i can abuse the storage hierarchy just like sample start |

So is Cachmastee300 on Warp? Someone like Bibio or Rusty? |

that is bad wonder if bandcamp has a stance on it. certainly hurts their image, too, imo |

victim blaming and whataboutism |

people believe they support the artist directly on bandcamp. |
