 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

 | 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

 | 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

 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

 wonder if bandcamp has a stance on it. certainly hurts their
