nice work dude!

holy shit I really slept on this album

I imagine a watmm meetup is just a bunch of guys one at a time holding up a meme on their phone and then the next smirks at the meme and shows another one and so on

oh got ya, so this is a weird image that popped up on fb for you?

wow tysm!!!

Are you saying AI is goofy and bad? Hard to interpret

That makes more sense, it reminds of those neural maps where you have inputs/outputs and the connections between them.. would be cool to scale this to cover a wider range and then be able to change the spectrum you're focusing on.. that would be a huge project though, it would have to be crowd or AI generated

Any good? That one is at least visually kinda pretty

I see the Tina Turner link has been visited ?

I never understood why Americans get their kids to make macaroni pictures - seems like such a bad medium, bad colours, doesn't sit comfortably on paper, the glue will make it all lumpy. Glitter also sucks tbh.. It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere

I mean it's not like I'm any the wiser anyway

Can someone please explain about half the memes in this thread? I don't follow 4chan and the ironic post meta sub-irony gets a bit confusing For example:

don't be shy! me luxuriating

Maybe she's meant to be floating around the system but not directly connected? Why is Delia Derbyshire a comet?

this could be an awesome way to avoid professional curators and algorithm black holes!

You find music via bandcamp? Like, by looking at who their supporters like? I never considered that

Yeah I had some fun browsing around version 2 of Ishkur's guide - I should give the new one a bit more time - I feel like we are a little bit past the subgenre obsession these days, no? I remember when dubstep was big, I feel everyone was trying to create the next lucrative genre of electronic music - maybe they still are and I have just lost touch with what's going on now

Seems like the designer had some knowledge, but it's way over simplified, I wonder if they're a fan or it's literally purely surface level exploration for £££... I guess that's the most logical explanation. Still it's interesting to me to try to schematize the music you're into... For example I have two main threads in mine that got more noisy and weird as I got into more stuff - rock/metal/goth rave/braindance/extreme electronic, which both converge on noise & experimental. I always found it weird that there's not more stuff which is genuinely between the two threads. Maybe there is and I just don't know about it. I wonder if you guys have similarly divided schemas or all music is part of one thing to you

Was that from a Google image search? It just popped up as an image on mine without any context

Does anyone have a good faith interpretation of this thing that popped up on Facebook?? Who would make such a thing and why? It seems weird to say that everyone orbits kraftwerk.. but I often hear them mentioned as the originators of electronic music - but wasn't the radiophonic workshop doing stuff before that.. I don't know much of the history. Any good documentaries about that? Obviously Aphex would be orbiting about 20 other suns, and be knocked slightly off-axis by hundreds of passing mini-planets... As would everyone else probably... It's pretty cringeworthy obviously but how would you revise it? What's wrong with it, what's right?

When I find out a new release is coming, I fill a spreadsheet with ambiguous snarky comments ready to go so that as soon as I've heard it I can hop on watmm and post the most relevant one towards anyone expresses any enthusiasm for it

lol we were listening to this at reading festival years ago and someone hated it so much they kicked our stuff over Some of his best, and I haven't heard all of it - delightful!

It's a great cover, but I feel like the timbres of the instruments are super important for the emotion/vibe of aphex tracks, so I always find it a bit jarring when covers draw mainly on the melodic/rhythmic content - not that it's a bad cover at all, and if he worked it into a live set I'm sure I'd dance to it

maybe already mentioned, not read whole thread, but
