Hello WATMM, I am a graduate student from Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. I am currently conducting a thesis project that analyzes intelligent dance music as popular music. In this analysis, I argue that IDM has a historically fluid relationship with mainstream values and the issues surrounding commercialization, a surplus of electronic music technology, and how popular image (eg. the AFX face) distort our understanding of what deems an artist 'popular' to mass audiences. The topic is endlessly complex, as this notion of 'mass audience' is becoming more and more outdated and digital communities, such as this, fragment social groups as if they are tribes rather…

I know some people will say "this should go in the video games thread" but . HOLY CRAP THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/02/we-have-finally-played-the-lost-official-goldeneye-007-remaster-for-xbox-360/ Some extra tidbits from trawling the interwebs: - The online multiplayer is not working in the basic download, but people have already figured out a way to make it work (if i understand correctly, this is running on an XBox360 emulator and there are ways to essentially make the "Xbox Link" work across the interwebs - I'm going to get tons of shit for this from anyone except Goldeneye purists but omfg apparently there is an op…

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-politics-navalny-kremlin-idUSKBN29R10S Russians in Moscow protesting against Putin's corruption. Surprise response from Russian authorities - they are arresting the hell out of protestors and actually suppressing their speech. Who could have seen that coming... Here's the documentary that Navalny produced on Putin and corruption, I haven't watched it all yet, but it looks like a blinder. Watch it with the CC (unless you speak Russian - there must be some Russian speakers on here?).

heading off to florida this evening and hopefully never returning but for visits. doubt i'll ever log in with this account again and as for making any music, thats unlikely to happen again for at least a year and it certainly wont be under a name like lindrum larry cocopipe. those which i posted up on the latest creation forum and soundcloud recently were my last. adios london. i'll miss you like i'd miss elephantitis.

Hi Last night I was bored and couldn't be bothered to go out and buy food so I decided to throw a bunch of stuff together for dinner. This basically consisted of a red pepper, a sliced carrot, broccoli, spring onions, stir fried for a couple of minutes, then chucked into some boiling water prepared with oregano and chilli flakes. After boiling for a couple of minutes I threw some ramen noodles and an egg in there. It came out ALRIGHT. The noodles and veg were great but the soup itself left a bit to be desired, kind of flavourless but not off putting. Not bad for a first time making soup. I've named it Obel's Veg and Noodle Roulette Soup. I'd like some help to imp…

Aspirations / resolutions for the year ahead? I just want to survive. But, personal goals: Set up my home music / zine studio Explore my new back garden which will be Dartmoor National Park (whoop) Release more Soloman Tump music / refine my "sound" (I have some ideas on this) Volunteer more often - which should be easier for me to achieve now.... Changing to an ethical bank - HSBC have really been the pits this year, im finally done with them. Big up watmm fam. Its been a tricky one.

So this might not be the right place to type this out so if the mods feel like this should be deleted, no prolem. I have a question about Bleep. If a product ships, do you get an e-mail saying that it's on the way to you? I pre-ordered something and on the day it said it was going to ship I didn't get any dispatch e-mails or nothing. Is that normal? This is was my first time ordering something physical on Bleep after avoiding it for years. Should I order more stuff on their site in the future or should I stay away from them since the general opinion on Bleep here is pretty negative. Thanks for answering and if this isn't the appropriate place to…

So if you've been living in a remote cabin somewhere (actually I suppose thats quite likely, considering) and not heard of it , Among Us is a multiplayer game based on those real-life dinner party games like Werewolf or Mafia where a couple of players are secretly imposters and the other players have to use their wits to figure out who is who before they get bumped off. Except its a video game, in a spaceship with little coloured spacemen avatars. Works best on a computer, $5 from itchio. Think its also on Steam https://innersloth.itch.io/among-us You can also get it free on Android or iOS but its a bit harder to play on a small screen. Doable though. …

So I was thinking / daydreaming about going to my first gig when they open up again properly.... I could see myself standing front row in a dark nightclub, sweating and swaying to some phat techno beats from a DJ, and i'm crying tears of joy because the bass is so good and I haven't felt this free for what seems like ever. I'm hugging my mate next to me, I've got a cold beer in hand and the strobe kicks in and I grin ear to ear and lose the plot. In reality, it probably won't be anything like that, but I hope to get to some small DIY shows in the spring. There are a few decent venues in Oxford that I hope can open up with some live music. Even if seated / dis…

I've just finished my first level. I find it a bit frustrating that I can't access everything immediately, but I guess it's a good thing to learn your basic tools before being given access to all them. Like I said, I just finished my first one. It's far from perfect and it's extremely short since I can't make long levels yet, but hey... it's a level. Course ID: 95DA-0000-0125-3B7F
