Re: favorite youtube videos

(Gonna start linking these because man, this thread is getting hard to render...)

I've been looking into Line Rider lately -- it's ... apparently a happening community with a weekly substack going back four years and all. I just remember being like 12 years old and playing through tracks to Mayfly ...

Re: the internet detritus repository

Wanted to do a brief mention of the Teen-Beat records website. I recall in an interview that Mark Robinson said it took literally months to redo the site into this splaying, "magazine-like" layout that had extensive info about every release, era-appropriate photos, just everything you'd want if you ...

Re: The 12 song album game

Just the title. Themes are set around artists and titles — lyrics are fine, but need to be specified in the theme itself.

The 12 song album game

I came across this game on this forum which also got it from another forum long ago. It seems fun with the music tastes of the people involved on the logue, so why not give it a go?


We create an album with twelve songs on it; each person adds one song.
Each album has a theme.
Whoever adds ...

Re: reading

It turns out -- in the past six months that I've bracketed with a syllabus and a goal to complete my game — that I read ~22 books, so an average of 3 and a half a month. That's kind of bonkers?

I've written a bit about each one, starting with Cybertext onward to Vatican II sexual morality (they ...

Re: Host it yourself

Curious, meri -- what pushed you over the edge with streaming? Nothing frustrated me but I sort of felt like I was developing a really weird relationship with music where it was pure aesthetic commodity. I started to feel that way about all media, too, and began getting really selective. But now I ...

Re: comfort media

Ah, watermoon 's a GBV fan, huh? I feel like I know so many -- sinku has made me several GBV mixtapes at this point.

Man, okay ... it's hard to distinguish the "5 star" tendency from the "comfort media" tendency when it comes to my engagement. If something feels that close to me, it usually made ...

Re: favorite youtube videos

My YouTube habits have severely atrophied the past year and my history looks like a long line of garbage I watch to fall asleep. I think the last documentary I saw was this one on Nortel, which is really Canada-specific and yet was really high quality. I had a pretty bad flu over New Year's when I ...

Re: Digicams! Discussion and Photos

A decent friend of mine was really ahead of the curve on this and for all the time I knew her I didn't really wanna copy her? I always thought it was cool how she constrained herself to the limitations of the digicam, though.

Like, I used to shoot exclusively with these as a kid — because, of ...

Re: the internet detritus repository

I came across this via Bulbapedia the other day and want to expound a bit on it: We All Live in a Pokemon World is a Pokemon fansite made by a former schoolteacher as a sort of apologia against parental dismissals of Pokemon, and as an argument for the benefits of the Pokemon message.

In sum it ...

Host it yourself

Way back at the inception of this board we talked a bit, in a very freeform way, about workflows and tools . It came up again talking about computers , just figuring out new ways to organise piles of stuff across computers.

Another example: I moved from streaming services to just having all my ...

Re: Music in Languages You Don't Understand


I also listen to Japanese artists like 黒百合姉妹 and 夢中夢 and Mass of the Fermenting Dregs, also some Kenshi Yonezu songs. And I'm a fan of the Slovak-language album "n5" by Katarzia. But these are more just me straight up randomly running into something and liking it despite not fully understanding it ...
