memes and trolling are dead. we have to do and say interesting things now

it’s by Robert Cure of The Smiths

reading Mood Machine, a recent book of music journalism about Spotify, and it definitely cuts deep so far this gives me the grim impression that unless you make music that's comfortable for background/passive "listening", it's not worth having your stuff up on their service. your goals do not align

have YOU ever wanted to make SNES music? songs that could play on a real console?? well guess what - you can!! and you can even do it from the comfort of your favorite DAW. version 2.0 of my SNES Chiptune Guide is out now, updated and fully overhauled on its own website: samplemance.rs/snesguide/

there's something very funny to me about looking up a spice/herb grinder to buy and actually meaning it for that purpose

I found the animal crossing perfect orange at the store. with the little bump at the top. it's called a dekopon. it is the best orange I have ever eaten. I can understand how its transcendent sweetness allowed it to become the face of the animal crossing perfect orange

what's wrong babe you've barely touched your arbitrary frequency chocolate

it really is time for us all to shift more of our time and energy into hanging out irl – or, at the very least, in smaller, focused communities of friends online social media in its current form causes so much psychic damage, it’s time to let it wither away and die

yes, plex, that is exactly what we're watching

I missed @bandcamp.com Friday, but I will always rep for @infloresce.com infloresce.bandcamp.com @samplemance.rs's Past Future Present Memory has been especially fun recently: h-v-b.bandcamp.com/album/past-f...

I wrote and sang a song for the new 10th anniv @staffcirc.bsky.social album!!! it was an honor to celebrate this special occasion with a bunch of musicians I have admired for years... I'm pretty new to this kind of songwriting so you will have to forgive the rough edges (but I plan to do more soon!)

still thinking about this honestly

massive shouts out to all the album buyers still out there in the world

it's Bandcamp Friday! one of the only big events that celebrates paying artists kindly :') check out my... - NEW album of emotional FM chiptune post-rock - electroacoustic glitch album with friends - experimental SNES chiptune album my car broke down recently so help is extra appreciated this time

"STAFFcirc vol. 10" is a special album for us. 10 years ago we started together with "STAFFcirc vol. 1". Since then, @staffcirc.bsky.social has taken on a life of its own, as of today, releasing 20 amazing collaborations in total. And now, we reunited once again! ubiktune.com/releases/sta... 🐸

happy to finally share some pics of the sleeve I got done over the course of 2025 - a colorful, detailed ode to the works of my favorite animator, Masaaki Yuasa. my tattoo artist Hanam Mun did an incredible job designing this out of various key art and stills from Tatami Galaxy and Kaiba!

Understudied but urgently studiable is the rise of "bitcoin-core" as an aesthetic movement. I think it's related to the fascist embrace of AI: The stuff is *meant* to look like shit, because to them, indifference is power

I don’t know why musicians get a pass for using AI images. “I don’t know how to do that!!!” okay so??? tough shit, find someone who does! Collaborate with other artists!!

You should be able to put your computer in Expert Mode for a more challenging experience. One of my ideas is that stuff you copy should expire if you don't paste it fast enough

I would like to thank cormac mccarthy for turning me into a serial run-on sentence writer

it's crazy how two of the three best Grimes albums are by yeule

in all seriousness you have to learn to do work that is fulfilling for yourself even if no one else cares and when your aunt asks what's new you gotta make peace with saying "oh not much" because you just released a new game but didn't have a baby or something

✨ NEW RELEASE ✨ the original soundtrack for The Royal Writ (@theroyalwrit.bsky.social) is now available on Bandcamp and YouTube!! promtastik.bandcamp.com/album/the-ro... www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTPj...

man stuff like this continues to impress upon me that I fundamentally do not seek out or listen to music in the same way that most people do. most media, honestly. I have to go down at least a 30-minute rabbit hole learning about the lives and circumstances of the people who made a work first.

going to be taking a long drive this week/end - here's all the albums I have added to a giant playlist to listen to...! 40 of them! I like to assemble a big pile of records that are new to me, then roll dice to determine the order of albums. I've been doing road trips this way for years, I love it.

went hikin' last weekend!

anytime you make a post about how people should stop using Spotify because it fucking sucks, someone pops in from from the Discover feed about how there's no alternative and ignores that you can just buy music or use another streaming service that isn't doing this shit. Anyway, stop using Spotify

thanks everyone who's picked up Past Future Present Memory today! it's been nice hearing from several folks on this magnanimous Bandcamp Friday. I hope everybody's as excited about the vinyl as I am - I heard the test press and the warmth of the medium really does complement the release well.

it's the first Bandcamp Friday since my album came out, and it's also the last day to preorder the vinyl: h-v-b.bandcamp.com/album/past-f... there's never a better time to support, listen, buy, and get some *chiptune on vinyl*..! Bandcamp Friday means that the company waives their fees today only.

Chiptune Monthly Issue #15 June/July/Aug 2025 is LIVE! Lots to report on since we've been gone so long, but we thank y'all for your patience. Don't forget to celebrate Bandcamp Friday today with your wallets! www.patreon.com/posts/chiptu...

I had a dream that I visited our local jazz radio's broadcasting station. one of the morning broadcasters let me do a quick set on the air, where I proceeded to play dave brubeck's "strange meadow lark" and the theme song to yoshi's story
