i included the links WITHOUT prefixing them with archive.org as a sort of artistic choice. none of the links work, of course, since i only discovered them decades after they were online, thanks to the internet archive.
this person lived exactly the experience i wanted to share

i gotta get him some flowers, some day

i included some turntablism homework in friday's video but that only covered the artists already in the video. there's a lot more good stuff out there, including songs i cut from the mix

in the interim, i was thinking about uploading the currently-patreon-exclusive mixes i've made. im kinda excited to share them

that's a combo i hadn't considered, but it makes sense huh. after all, it's not like i will ever stop yapping about game sound tracks :P

A+
but yeah there's likely a name that satisfies both conditions. i just have to find it

compare it to the original. wagon christ's take feels like an expansion of the ideas in here. not just the chords but the timbres. good shit

multiple private asides later: yall are very sweet. but you can publicly tell me that my ideas suck ass if you want :P
im quite fond of the word "melosylexia" and ive long wanted to be rid of an acronym that the financial world shares, but i do see that it's not exactly "flashy". i'll keep mulling

i think that's what i'll end up doing!
i don't want to *get rid* of the GST portion, just delegate it as a subset of the things I do. so, GST Channel of Melosylexia.

ill prolly just drop the rename on the next vid \o/

yeah im still in the rabbit hole.
check out this excerpt from 1984(!!!!!!!!!!!!). this is literally what ive been saying. i guess im just 40 years slow.

"escobar 1999" refers to Arturo Escobar's 1999 essay "Gender, Place and Networks: A Political Ecology of Cyberculture".
in context, he's just saying the internet is new and amazing technology, but the reason that it's cool is because it connects people

Joesph Lockard's "the Myth of Virtual Community" sounds really badly dated at glance but it seems(?) to be an observation that some "virtual communities" are propped up by corpos to define a target demographic and put ppl in it, which sounds REALLY relevant today

bro i don't know if i can survive this rabbit hole of contemporary anthropological studies of 90s internet culture. the pull is so strong. im gonna be stuck here for months
