I didn't know that Hubba Bubba was still around, I just bought a pack. This is the first time I've had bubblegum in literal decades. Some guys buy a motorbike at this age, I buy gum. I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I still have some gum left, want one?
I just realized that I haven't really done anything with music for a couple weeks - it's been my longest stretch of doing nothing since I started doing synthwave.
If you're not related to me, this is the first time you've ever known me without dogs in my life.
Just watched a mashup between Reading Rainbow and DMX, and the next video was about children starving and being bombed in Gaza. It didn't even feel weird at first. What the fuck kind of world are we living in right now.

mimi ⚔️@knightlyaffair.bsky.social · 3mo agogo tell your favorite artists you like their work. you may think they hear it enough or your praise would be identical to someone else's so you say nothing, but i promise you they would love to hear it. and sometimes they need to hear it.
I don't know if this is a good thing, but apparently dark rye really agrees with me.
I remember back in the day when more people didn't respect electronic music. I was one of them. They said that anyone can make music on a computer and I agreed until I tried it. Now I realize that AI music today is what I thought electronic music was back then.

I never realized how common it is for gen-x to try to avoid seeing Bloody Mary in a dark bathroom mirror even to this day.

I'm thinking about how to prepare for the apocalypse and realizing just how expensive that is. Just a pistol and a couple of months of MREs is going to be over a grand. For that kind of money I could get Ableton Live 12.
my remix of Runaways by The Midnight is now available over on YouTube! really proud of how this turned out, i hope you like it! youtu.be/3GBspKDtxi8

It's about time to plug my Spotify playlist. 100 synthwave (& related) artists with under 1k monthly listeners at the time of placement. I've also got about 20 spots open if anyone wants to submit something. One track per artist, no gen AI music. open.spotify.com/playlist/1xh...

I have a number of tracks from last year still in production and it's been slow going. I still believe in them but it's made me wonder if I should still be doing this. Then one new idea really grabbed me and now I'm wondering if every release should be like that. It's just so easy in comparison.
A lot of people have turned internet conversations into songs but I think this is the best I've seen yet: youtube.com/shorts/EKJZ3...

With everything happening in Minnesota and the US right now, I think it bears mentioning that all the major news outlets are complicit. We've seen the videos from multiple angles with our own eyes and they bullshit us right to our faces.
I did a synthwave over of this punk song by frick (abandcalledfrick.bandcamp.com/track/you) and I refused to do another vocal or guitar take, so this is just how it's going to be. on.soundcloud.com/kSW09WOf5d1q...

With the proliferation of AI music, the most immediate response that I can think of is to embrace imperfection, because it doesn't get any more human than that. I think there's a balance to be struck between trying to master your craft and breaking the rules. You don't need to be perfect.
