Oops all co-hosts! @yungshiro.bsky.social is taking a break from hosting, so @luxurynoise.co and @rogecorp.bsky.social are co-hosting an episode next Monday with #vaporwavezero pioneer Simple Syrup. Tune in at 8PM ET at twitch.tv/hottakesvapor on Monday, July 13 for a night of family fun with us!

I think my dad would have enjoyed the way sometimes I’ll tell people more than I know they want to hear about my grief about him to make them go away. I’d always find him laughing after I did things I was sure were only funny to me.

I can’t remember why I actually bought my Zoom H6 recorder, but that dang thing is always popping up and saving the day.

People have to weigh in. It’s part of balancing all the weight. If they didn’t weigh in, all the weight would be out, and then it’s a whole seesaw catastrophe, and before you know it, the in is out and the out is still out and all the weight is out and inside is weightless.

Photo albums probably won’t make a big come back any time soon bc it would feel weird to have books full of people flipping you off in your living room.

The FIJI Islands will be ready to welcome you in a little under 2 weeks... We hope you enjoy your stay 🌴📼✨️ #vaporwave #vaporfunk #music #vaporwaveaesthetic

Idk what the little croissant muffins bakeries seem to be making now are called, but great job, everyone.

I really enjoyed Inferno. I expected to have some kind of slow embrace phase for the record, but it just kind of makes sense to me.

sad to see Colbert go. otoh I am kind of looking forward to “Byron Allen’s Comics Unleashed” falling down the stairs. You’d think whoever would have taken that slot might have had an actual idea… but it’s cbs so I guess you can wing anything in with anodyne non-pitches.

I enjoy that the aggro Suno people bypassed any of the joy of creativity and went straight for the default position of being “that band that is always online arguing with everyone for not recognizing how great they are.” The low effort jams to constant online drama pipeline has been perfected.

My father died at the end of March. I’ve been dealing and taking what lessons I can from it and whatever and it’s been devastating… but I think the hardest part is now when the matter is “closed.” It’s like it’s supposed to be done and whatever, but it’s actually just this thing that looms (cont)

Always checking back to see if whoever acted like shit that time ever toppermosted their poppermost. Success rate continues to be zero.

My brain is so deeply convinced that Steal Away is really a doobie bros song that it replaces the robbie dupree vocal with MM’s voice when I hear it in my head. Then when I hear the actual track, I’m like “this sounds weird.”

Bandcamp Friday is a good day to grab a copy of the VaporVA comp. And a shirt. vaporva.bandcamp.com/album/vaporv...

people sure do start to get a lot more concerned about accuracy as the retro appropriations get closer to whatever they claim as their era.

It took longer bc I kept getting distracted and timing out, but I got my inferno preorder in. expect the record to not immediately be whatever I think I want. that’s always half the fun of a new BoC is catching up to it or whatever. Just glad to be around to see another release happen.

Grief is just not linear at all. It’s more like being assigned a new permanent life partner who is a net drag on your day, and occasionally gets a wild hair to push you down a flight of stairs five minutes before a meeting.

The truth is, we couldn't be more proud of where Sanctuary will be calling home this year. This year the show will take place at Summit Music Hall, former site of Summit Station / Jack's / Logan's Off Broadway. 🧵

I love the weird versions of songs I hear when rendering hardware tracks and Ableton also plays back all the other audio in the timeline unprocessed.
