just uploaded a "version 2" of this. really just some little typos and factual errors. so I guess more than anything it's an excuse to post about it again. I think I'm going to print a few physical copies soon. please check out "JAX's DEEP JAMS" if you want to play/learn about some rare vgm tunes!

discog listening update: checked out a bunch of emo/post-hardcore/math rock. I always enjoyed this stuff when I stumbled on it but assumed... - you're supposed to get into it in high school, after that it's too late - this is music people Judge you about, both from inside + outside the scene

!! I wonder if this has anything on HIBIKI, the first (by his accounting) game scored by umemoto. a few years back when I was working on the fansite there was absolutely no info to be found except that it was a takeru game

lately when I read "kirby air riders" I hear it in my head in the cadence of christopher walken saying "foo fighters"

In the spirit of April Fools' Day but without sacrificing the Supper Mario Broth veracity policy, here is a fact that seems so outlandish as to be a joke, but is actually true: in 1993, a Sega ad campaign briefly planned to use profanity to slander Mario.

I have a cube number birthday today so here's one of my all time favorite cubes

new favorite guy

my family was crazy abt HP when I was a kid but as a teen I just discovered more interesting things. I kinda feel bad for ppl who didn't. you deserve to graduate from authors who are problematic in plain, concrete, cruel ways to those who are problematic in esoteric ways, only described in whispers

I'm taking my performative train reading to the next level

new ringo sheena is kind of a mixed bag but I like the samba tune a lot and this one's pretty crazy youtu.be/3L0PQUxnfKI

in the ~hundred years since its composition has there ever been a more beautiful melody with worse lyrics

went almost 27 years w/out knowing what color my eyes are but I had to renew my license online recently so I decided to check. been just using "hazel" as a codeword for "I don't know". I must have intuited that eyes are terrifyingly alive up close. staggered away from the mirror like a horror movie

It's Bandcamp Friday

Today we have an amazing interview from 1989 with Shigeru Miyamoto and Shigesato Itoi. Conducted shortly after the release of Mother, it's full of deep musings about realism, creative exhaustion, the moral panic over kids & gaming, and prescient visions of the future. shmuplations.com/itoimiyamoto/
