Really glad I can finally hear Bathroom Tests without maxing out my speakers.

I'm still waiting for him to formally release some of the Burnkane b-sides on his soundcloud. ?

I totally get it. I think I have a soft spot for some of the way she produces stuff. I found the new Cut Copy release by accident, didn't even realize they were still together. Totally a pleasant surprise.

I got the job, I start my new position at the beginning of 2021.

The "Da Funk" sample in at about 3 minutes has me all fucked up.

Video is great, track is great, I'll grab this next Bancamp Friday.

Small success, even if slightly premature: I have 4 hours of interviews this Thursday for a process engineering position at my company. It would be a huge promotion, like $25k/year (with uncertainty of course).

I hope the boys "cane it".

Aside from this being the kind of music I'm into, this is an incredible realization and sequence of events. Musical act does live show, loses soundboard recordings. Years go by and they stow away on their part of their label's page all the patches used from that live set, and some people think "yo what if we recreated that entire live set we have bootlegs of?" Then that happens, and it's spot-fucking-on. What an incredible story and achievement.

I would say it's not nearly as good as the Friday Syndrome albums overall, but that it's really pretty background music. It all swells and washes so nicely.

Sophie's "Faceshopping" is actually a super interesting track. The part that @Stickfigger linked is really good too; it all feels like these people grew up listening to "the weird electronic shit their friends make fun of," then carved out their niche with the glitch and hardcore they were into along with the irreconcilably catchy pop tracks of the era. Since this thread is a thing, I feel like I have to bring up Dorian Electra. While I don't like all of their output, the aesthetic is definitely something that's catching. I really like "Career Boy" completely unironically. It's like older powerpop met the current scene. I also think "F the World" from their latest album is a lot of fun, but that's probably only going to appeal to you if you were into any of the -core genres back when. It's all needless edgy, but it knows that and it's kind of the point.

Hey WATMM! Good thread. I'm going to try to list only things I haven't seen in this thread, sorry if any have been mentioned already. I don't feel a need to talk about how much I enjoyed "SIGN/PLUS" or "Be Up A Hello", as great as they were. I do want to note I didn't yet listen to John Frusciante's "Maya" nor have I listened to Richard Devine A+ Student's "SYSTIK" yet. Format of Artist - Album name -- personal notes Yaeji - What We Drew -- I'm really enjoying all of her output. There's something really down-to-Earth about it all, feels personal and human. Sunken Foal - Hexose -- Generative sounds, all in the very pretty Dunk Murphy way that the Friday Syndrome albums were. Overall very relaxing. Sewerslvt - Draining Love Story -- Basically everything I loved about Porter Robinson's "Virtual Self" EP, but then mashed in with my undying teenage love of breakcore. It's nostalgic for me, very dissociative whimsical styling for my inner angst. Purity Ring - WOMB -- I have loved all of their output; I have a friend that also really likes them and didn't like this album at first, but I insisted it's a grower. This is true, it's only grown on me and it's worth a listen. Pantha du Prince - Conference of Trees -- Not as strong as other output in my opinion, but that's because Black Noise and The Triad are some of my top favorite albums. All the practical percussive sounds are great. Dan Deacon - Mystic Familiar -- This is my favorite album he's released thus far. "Fell Into the Ocean" is beautiful, as is the entire "ARP" sequence on the album. Cut Copy - Freeze, Melt -- Probably my favorite of theirs since "In Ghost Colours". My favorite will remain "Bright Like Neon Love" but this album has definitely shown a maturing in their sound a lot. Thanks for reading.

I absolutely love that this is in black and white. Gorgeous.

Very pretty, kind of reminds me of what I love about the intro to Eutow. @digit

Got the CD Friday. It'll be going into my car's CD changer on Monday. As I think I said from my previous listens of the digital, I'm loving lux 106 mod, ecol4, and X4 the most. Both of these albums are really solid outputs and I love the maintained thematic artwork they've kept up with tDR since Quaristice with all the "surrounding" releases (whether versions, companions EPs, or and whatever you want to refer to the elseq series, NTS series, and live stuff as).

I mean, nothing in my opinion, but I've definitely been made fun of for it. It's like how I'm a huge Vsnares fan, but this forum used to have a huge hate train for him.

It's very hard to make a 1D barcode do two different things in a discrete manner. By that I mean, I can't easily do two separate ones in the same line as most functional scanners would go "this is one line" when trying to read it.

Re: a few items in this thread without quoting people directly. I worked at three separate pizza places in my life, none of them put pine nuts in their pesto simply because they are too expensive. As such, I really do prefer the taste of pesto without them, I can only tell by texture when they're included. My dad used to high small items in the produce bags at checkout to buy them by weight. Such as those Listerine strips mixed in with lettuce. Likewise, I saw my eldest brother do this with stickers on jars and stuff way back in the day. I have a coworker that constantly uses ellipses unnecessarily. He only started doing it a couple months back and it's incredibly irritating to read his emails because of it, partially because whenever he sends something out to a manager they often personally contact me to ask me to explain what the hell is actually going on. With the same coworker, he speaks incredibly low (even prior to the pandemic we all wore full PPE), has an eastern European accent, and we work on the manufacturing floor. I have to constantly ask him to speak up, but whenever he doesn't understand something he says "pardon?" to the point where that has become a trigger word for me to get frustrated, having caused me to kind of blow a gasket on a few other coworkers for saying it repeatedly. I still listen to Nu-Metal and Italo Disco. I don't think I know what a healthy relationship looks like, such that I don't know how to have my own. On that path, I feel like my "biological clock" is ticking to have a family and kid and such, but I have an absolute mountain of anxiety about even thinking about having a kid in a time like today's. I am afraid of being overweight. I blame the inflation scene in "The Nutty Professor" on this entirely. Sometimes the act of eating completely repulses me.

Do y'all want the barcode to output actual information? If yes, what? I work with this shit every day and can easily encode a string in there that any basic 1D barcode scanner can grab. Shit, I can get you a 2D one, but this isn't EXAI related.

Weird counterpart to Faceshopping.

Really wish there was a tracklist. The first bit right after all the found footage was absolutely amazing. Also the Psycho theme with Rsdio was sick.

And now it's really sick ravey-breakbeat. If anyone knows what this actually is, I'd love to know because this is the shit I adore. I'm now aware that this is the one day a year that my little subtitle makes complete sense without extra context.

https://www.amks.live/ Quite a bizarre supercut of found footage, genuinely interesting though.

lux 106 mod is my favorite

Timestamp, this is the part I'm most amped to blast.
