Short fiction about a prime minister barricading himself in a Big Tesco. Written last year. Recorded and set to music last week. Shared on Instagram and thought I should post it here as well. Suspect it may become resonant over the next few weeks.

20 years ago today, at 11:15 PM EST, an important milestone in VGMdb history was reached: our first album page was submitted. It was technically the third album page, but the first two pages were database tests that were deleted. I chose the Final Fantasy VII Original Soundtrack because it was a favorite of mine, but it is also a fitting tribute to the impact that this soundtrack had in inspiring new game music fans. Of course, at that time, we were an experimental special project on Gamingforce Audio, and it would be a little more than a year before we relaunched as VGMdb. It is interesting to reflect back over the last two decades, and examine how much our coverage has matured. Our scope broadened to include animation around 2009, as we re-branded to "The Music of Visual Arts and Games." The scope of our coverage would see further adjustment over the years, and while this has posed challenges at times, our central pillar has been and always will be game music. In parallel to this, our ontology has become steadily more detailed as we added a flexible artist crediting system that really glues together the album, product, and publisher pages. There are more than 158,000 album pages on VGMdb, spanning over 3 million individual tracks, and almost as many artist credit links. It would not have been possible to catalog all of this information without the help of public editors, and in fact, there are 6161 individual accounts that have submitted data to VGMdb. We are eternally thankful for all of your contributions, and more so for being patient during the evolution of our more stringent requirements for sourcing and accuracy. So, as we near our official 20th anniversary, we at VGMdb are excited about the future. There are some things moving behind the scenes that we are looking forward to sharing with you soon. -- Secret Squirrel, VGMdb Co-Founder

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

i love arguments about super trivial details that involve very specific technical knowhow and appear completely nonsensical when viewed from the outside. speaking of, does anyone know which (if any) DAT decks allow you to play tapes at the "wrong" samplerate compared to the one it was recorded as?
