I mean, the likelihood that RDJ will put out good music is very very high. Also, if you’re a fan of RDJ (I mean, this board is named after one of his tunes and it’s not too much of a stretch to assume the majority of the people posting here are at least slightly obsessive fans) you’re probably going to want to pick up some of his jams. I think it’s more of a matter of playing his game. He is elusive, as well as a genius. When you can locate one of his hidden releases it’s a thrill. I have to admit, this post feels a bit like explaining love to a robot. I always assumed the reason he released stuff under different aliases was because he wanted to see or prove that the music could stand on its own, even if it wasn't associated with him and the success he'd already had. I figured he didn't want to rest on his laurels. But maybe you're right and it was just a big, fun Easter egg hunt for we, the faithful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is for sure, he likes to fuck with peeps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) The jolly rainbow cat is quite fun and cute and thats what matters to me. I’d like to give it a little tickle under the chin and perhaps go catch a big tasty sardine and give the jolly rainbow cat a nice treat for its lunch. Though having said that in real life I am ultra high allergic to cats! When I say allergic I mean allergic. I’ve had to leave people houses before because the reaction is so bad. MIAOW….

I've met people who claimed the same but the unconditional love for a kitty surpassed all the allergies... edit: it's just like antibiotics, you take so many that they stop making effect...

I'm mildly allergic to cats and I just deal with it. It does get better when you have one and your immune system gets a little bit used to it. But if you rub your eyes accidentally after petting them, it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I was in a back of a taxi a few months ago, I start itching uncontrollably around the neck and eyes, symptoms of a cat. I asked the taxi driver if he'd had a customer in the back with a cat (obviously in a plastic box to go to the vet or something) of which he said yes. Even that was unbearable. Pesky cat. When I was a kid I had to get rid of a pet hamster because one day I went down to clean it and I just erupted into a boiling mess of scratching, sneezing and various other horrible reactions. Was pretty savage, I remember that like yesterday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, more a case of "I'll release something under an alias that nobody will ever know it's actually me who did it". Unfortunately, Richard didn't anticipate the internet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up in a ladys home one time at her place and the day after I woke up in her bed I could hardly breathe and got big red rashes all over my body. My eyes were like blood red. It was like a nightmare and she was just laughing at me. I didn't know she had a cat. I would like a "Songs about my cats" by Aphex Twin tho.. Maybe with more of his modular stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Richard didn't anticipate the internet I always figured it was more a case of "escaping licensing rights so that I can release my music in places other than warp"? Use a pseudonym with little likeness other than the music and they have no rights to it; I've read Warp is actually pretty aggressive in these regards, artists have to hand over their next 10 albums or whatever.... Edit: we could actually be saying the same thing tbh lol. Edited May 5 by Hugh Mughnus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had first thought it must be because he was going to add tracks to the releases, but then I don't see why he would need to remove them first, could just do it all behind the scenes until makes live. Unless he's going to add many tracks to those releases and make them a higher price or something like that. I can't help feel he is uploading tracks behind the scenes and he was and probably still is going through his archives over time and making them ready for upload/website release. I know he mentioned he finds it a lot of faffing about to upload and release them on the website, he preferred the ease of soundcloud, I wish Ochre would help streamline the website upload process for him. It seems like if it had have been similar to the soundcloud process we would have loads more archive stuff up on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Richard himself manages this... more likely someone at WARP is, and if he did put up unreleased stuff, he'd have to share royalties with WARP... It's why they weren't too happy with the Soundcloud dump 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
