Hell yah. Now if all the contributions sampled some of it, and synced up to the actual video, it would be the best thing on my internets.

Well, fuck. How do I choose between these two?

 

  1. Unorthodox use of side-chain compression
  2. 4/4 time signatures that sound like odd meters

Infinity to the power of nothing is such a massive concept that I'm not surprised it's losing out to listening to fast podcasts.

 

I suspect most people here cannot even comprehend the scope of ∞ ^ 0 and what it entails, probably beyond IDM TBH IDK WTF.

Acshully, 0^0 is already interesting. Is it 0 (0^x=0) or 1 (x^0=1).

 

Mind belongs to the set "blown".

Do you think it's note-worthy that 2 topics are about delaying some action until vaporwave is officially dead, and 2 other topics are about cutting off a body part and replacing it with something?

 

EDIT: what a time to be alive!

Tricky choice between 'A video of a dude with small but still within the range or normal-sized legs jamming in Southbank on synths that are powered by a car battery, while people walk by with angry expressions and a single old bearded drunk man dances gleeful' and 'Telling a robot to check its privilege because if you can't feel, no one can hurt you'!
