Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

this label's put out loads of quality over the years and if they had to close down that would be a massive loss for the ambient music community, so any little bit you can contribute helps
wanted to signal boost this, the Neotantra label (ambient music label co-run by Lee Norris aka Metamatics/Norken/Nacht Plank) is in a tight spot financially and might be in danger of closing down, so they're running a fundraiser to be able to keep the label going: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...
Help raise £3000 to The next stage for Neotantra – JustGiving Crowdfunding

Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level."

Anlasslose Chatkontrolle muss in einem Rechtsstaat tabu sein. Private Kommunikation darf nie unter Generalverdacht stehen.“

Hello, we have a new album ready, Loud Ambient, and we've remastered Fragments.
theblackdog.bandcamp.com
final length (pending any copyright tweaks) is 2:21:30

(swear next one of these is gonna be like 20 segments just for the sake of my own spare time) bsky.app/profile/256p...
right, I am FINALLY done writing Some Stuff I Missed Vol. 19, a month later than I wanted it to be but hey it's gonna be another maximum-length one with 42 segments (and that many pages in google docs, so probably slightly shorter than the last one but not by much lol)

IF YOU ARE GERMAN, YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR MEPs AND DEMAND THEY OPPOSE CHAT CONTROL

-RIGHT-
-NOW-

the link below contains individual emails and everything, PLEASE do not sleep on this!
Tuta @tuta.com · 13d
We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...
Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

staticanimalmusic.bandcamp.com it's bandcamp friday again! heres some music to consider buying!
with Bandcamp Friday having rolled around again I've decided to get back to $10 text post requests, here's an artist who's very obviously inspired by artists like Squarepusher but manages to nail that style well enough to easily be mistaken for the real deal: www.patreon.com/posts/140368...

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal.

If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !
Screenshot of the Fight Chat Control website (https://fightchatcontrol.eu/) in German showing the Bundestag members. It is now possible to contact Bundestag members directly to express your concerns about Chat Control.

you need to stop giving into to doomer impulses.

these are fights we can win. We've won some of them BEFORE, with LESS public outcry (tho do not let that engender passivity!)

quite a few of these dogshit bills have failed before! we can change the future!
"My reps are all conservative and do what they want anyway so I can't call about KOSA"

This bill has died multiple times before and it's because people told their reps they don't like it, especially the red ones
as thanks for hitting 20K subscribers, I decided to haphazardly throw together a bunch of theoretical year-end lists of electronic albums for each year of the 90s!
