Probably shouldn’t admit this publicly, but last night I finally sat down and figured out virtual inputs / rerouted system sound through them- and now I can sample like Literally Any PC owner on my Only Slightly More Complex audio setup for my Mac.

I don’t really think I have my gamer nostalgia together enough to tell anyone about myself in ten games. I guess plausibly it could just be phantasy star then final fantasy written several times and then Minecraft and WoW written over everything in sharpie to account for what I devolved into.

We can make it better for you! @skylarspence.bsky.social is coming to “Hot Takes” on Monday, October 27 at 8PM ET! Tune in for this very special meeting of the minds with Skylar Spence, YUNG SHIRO 白, and special co-host @luxuryelite.bsky.social at twitch.tv/hottakesvapor. We’ll be looking for you!

Today I am going to finish getting all these dang ads out and then I am going to CLEAN MY STUDIO because it has slowly fallen to clutterpocalypse. …at least the one cable-drawer-of-doom got sorted out a couple weeks ago…

dog just activated the commentary on a community DVD I’m watching (some combo of butt and remote) and while I don’t know exactly how he did it, I am very excited to realize I’ve got all this Community commentary I’ve never consumed so… apologies in advance for my community trivia expansion…

YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR The plight of the displaced and oppressed in Gaza continues unabated and once again our small corner of the music world rises to the occasion with VAPORAID 3.

Holding hands with a good boy.

On the one hand, I want to hit my Gandalf years and go full Gandalf when the time comes… but on the other, my beard can only get so long before I just want to tear it off my face. Hopefully I am more beard patience wizardly when my Gandalf era arrives.

🏃

My set from Roge Fest is now up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Nk...

Coming to First Class Collective Saturday DURING ROGEFEST 2K25! The Isles of Eternal Chill - Compilation of the Isles Vol 1. On Cassette and CD this Saturday at Noon ET! @rogecorp.bsky.social

I’ve been a little hyper focused on the wow legion remix for a minute and I can’t shake the feeling that a whole village, hundreds of doggos, and all my cats and sea turtles etc are judging me.

my set good. other sets also good. you watch.

Did you miss our episode with @brickmason.bsky.social last night? Tune in to the Twitch VOD as @crystaleternal.online, YUNG SHIRO 白, and Brickmason discuss the importance of visualists in the scene, love for the Donkey Kong Country 2 OST, love for Bentoboy, Solodolo84, Victory Over Death, and more!

As we move into a new season, we've updated our Contemporary Vaporwave playlist with fresh track from the past two months! Lots of great vaporbreaks, slushwave, ambient, Barber Beats, and of course classic vapor from lots of beloved names in the scene. Check it out: open.spotify.com/playlist/6g6...

A tiny bag of cheez-its on an airplane is like a magical delicacy, but a whole box of them makes me hate myself. 🤷‍♂️

Things that are good: RGB Delay Telecasters The little bug-a-salt gun my parents sent me that shoots salt Being briefly done with some things long enough to work on other things My little copper dudes in Minecraft

No matter how many usb-c cables I buy, I will always have one less than I need.

Just because it’s official Halloween hours doesn’t mean I’m gonna start dressing different and acting like I’m some spooky person. That would be super lame. *pulls docs out of closet* *grabs every siouxsie record*

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE0i... See you next Tuesday at 10:00 p.m. eastern.

I couldn’t wait! To make your Sunday as relaxing as possible I dropped the PS2 Album on Bandcamp. Check it out here and peep your email for a lil message about it: halcyontapes.bandcamp.com/album/emotio...

Log off

I always feel bad for people who get hung up on popular things to a point of getting angry about them. I have always found that if it’s not for me and I mostly ignore whatever, it just passes. Meanwhile these people take psychic damage from hearing a song they don’t like in a gas station etc.

Another one! @rogecorp.bsky.social is a community and event organizer who has been listening to the music since 2016 but has only became apart of the scene in late 2022. Please join us in welcoming Roge Corp to the "Hot Takes" co-host lineup!

I was watching a hallmark movie with Alan Thicke in it and apparently it ended, and now there’s some sort of haunted bed and breakfast movie going on… but I didn’t notice we’d changed movies for longer than you’d think…

A new co-host has entered the lineup! @luxurynoise.co is a Denver based electronic musician, producer and visualist. Paul's music, associated with the"vaporbreaks" sub-genre, relies on lush soundscapes and intricate breaks to weave poignant and emotional stories.

So would the rapture happen by time zone or would it be like a Spotify release where everyone gets it on New York time?

The original Transformers animated movie is one amazing action sequence after another. I will never stop loving this movie. Also the Shout Factory 30th anniversary release fixed all the weird frame shit from the 20th anniversary release.

Do all the other people who wear glasses wear glasses in the shower? Because the companies who make two identical bottles with the words “shampoo” and “conditioner” in very small font sizes make me feel like everyone else must be wearing their glasses in the shower…

Another new “Hot Takes” co-host approaches! @luxuryelite.bsky.social is a vaporwave artist who has been following the scene since its inception. Some of her more notable releases include world class, high society, and Late Night Delight, a split release done with Saint Pepsi/Skylar Spence.

Say hello to one of your new “Hot Takes” co-hosts, @crystaleternal.online! Reina is an Ohio based multimedia artist and DJ with a focus on intentionally nostalgic themes and sounds. From sample-based vaporwave to maximalist dance pop, her sonic palette is a love letter to Internet Music.

Broad generalizations seem to just make the people who make them all the more unhappy… which is, in itself, a broad generalization that makes me unhappy.

welp I’m not paying for that

dumb.
