Happy ! Did you know that Bandcamp shows you cute emoji when typing in certain amounts on the checkout screen?

A screen capture from Bandcamp.com that happens when you add certain amounts while purchasing an album. When you type "6.66" a 🤘appears. When you type "7.77" a 🎰emoji appears. When you type "4.20" a 🌲emoji appears.

@docpop it is up 4% from last night so hopefully 🤞 you are right. Although, 40% is still less than ideal…

I saw a ton of new albums drop on Bandcamp today. For a minute, I thought it was Bandcamp Friday.

"New Strategies for Modern Crime Volume 1" is 's first album in 6 years. I don't know much about the production, but this album sounds more like live instrumentation than his previous albums. It's almost orchestral at parts and musique concrète at others. https://prefuse73.bandcamp.com/album/new-strategies-for-modern-crime-vol-1

Fans of Antipop Consortium will love 's "Error Tape 2". https://msayyid.bandcamp.com/album/error-tape-2

My favorite band in the entire world is Nine Inch Nails. Years ago, they broke up and @andypeters, and I traveled hours to see them for the last time. I was devastated they were over. But luckily, they came back.

Every once in a while over the years, Trent Reznor would make a remark about NIN maybe being over and my reaction was always "NOOO!"

But I've been watching the music landscape change so rapidly over the years. And I hate it. I get saddened when I think about NIN trying to play that game. A version of this band that only releases singles to try to get on top of Spotify playlists and make it big on TikTok would kill me. If Trent Reznor had to update his "IG OMG" every day to please the algorithm, I'd probably literally vomit. Not figuratively. Literally. And because of that, if they were to quietly walk away at this point, I think I'd finally be ok with it. This version of the music world is completely awful, and I don't want them to have to be a part of it if they don't want to be. They've given me so much already.

I know the music industry is an industry, and the marketing business is a business, and maybe I'm just used to what I'm used to. But I can't imagine this is it. It's the worst of the music world and the internet in one.

@gabek 💯

I too love NIN and am so bummed they have dropped off the musical landscape rencently. I totally get it—there is most definitely more money (and better work/life balance for their schedules) doing movie soundtracks, but I keep hope alive that a new album is on the horizon too. 🙏

I am also one of the streaming music holdouts. Still buy all my music and maintain a large local library. It’s such a shame to see what “unlimited ‘free’ music” has done to the industry…

exkclamation,
@exkclamation@mastodon.social avatar

@gabek YES! 💯💯💯 So glad you haven’t given up on music!

It’s such a double-edged-sword too—that there is SO MUCH great music still being produced, but it takes so much extra time to sift through to find it. However, I truly believe maintaining a personal library ‘collection’ is so important in that pursuit too! It can be so rewarding to delve in deeper, beyond just letting the streaming algorithms take over.

Here's an interview I shot with John Law, a local artist, prankster, and personal inspiration. It was shot on the top of the Oakland Tribune Tower, where he has an amazing office near the top floor. John was one of the co-founders of Burning Man and Santacon, though he spends his time on other fun projects these days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfQlXisc--A

@daringfireball I had an AppleVison 1710av paired with my PowerMac 8500 and loved it. Bought both as used floor-models and they got me all the way through design school in the late 90s.

Never had any issues personally and always wondered why the 1710av seemed so "lost to history" (...until your post today). Fun trip down memory lane!

With just 4 hours to go it seems incredible but can we make that second stretch goal for filters and bookmarking? If you had asked me yesterday I woulda said no way. Now… maybe!! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iconfactory/project-tapestry?ref=checkout_rewards_page
