I love when I get to school my therapist on how the government wants to kill me this week and she's like "nahhh surely it isn't all that." Then she looks and is like ohhhhh.

I gotta find a trans therapist.

I don't suppose anyone out there knows how to get Mistr to stop deadnaming and misgendering me, eh? I've been trying to get them right since summer 2024 and they don't seem to care.

Normalize accidentally spinning 3 hour b2b sets with your friends.

@datadoghq.com just fyi guys every time your AI support agent wastes a bunch of my time with hallucinations and failed suggestions that go around in circles, it makes me want to find another monitoring solution

can someone braid my hair and very gently explain everything to me

I’m calling it. The CDJ-2000NXS2 is the new SL-1200Mk2.

I just gotta say “banned for sale from Discogs” is the biggest load of bs I’ve ever heard of. We’re apparently no longer allowed to sell old bootlegs to each other. 🙄

This post is about Work That Punk but also the Danny Howells mix of Dark and Long is banned and plenty others. Wtf

Ah yes. The card I bought a whole play set of for Maxx yet have only lived long enough to play once before being immediately destroyed. 😑

It’s a super pretty card though!

I just realized the only thing I use Bluesky for is #fabtcg news

The only time sink has been disruption for me is when I use it and the next card is worse.

Much like adding stripes and wings to old beater cars, adding foil to commons is good for at least 5 … something.

Looks like Night Tapes is coming to Austin. Unfortunately on Halloween so I can’t go due to playing a set.

Probably just as well bc with my luck they’d play Leave it All Behind, Mike and I’d ruin my makeup.

4 strip comic. first frame, we see Horst Wessel and two other storm troopers carrying a large nazi flag. text reads : Horst Wessel was a young storm trooper recognized as a skilled public speaker by the nazi party. he also wrote the song that became the partys anthem and german co-national anthem until 1945. second frame, we see a portrait of Horst. text reads : in 1930, his landlady hired two men who happened to be communists to evict him over unpaid rent and alleged proxenetism. He died in the fight. thrid frame, we see Goebbels speaking in front of a large crowd. text reads : Goebbels, the nazi chief propagandist, had been looking for someone to turn into a christian martyr for the party and drum up enrollment. he turned wessel's funeral into a major propaganda event full of speeches antagonizing leftists. fourth frame, we see the State Farm Stadium with a large banner advertizing Charlie Kirk's funeral. text reads : thinking about him today for no particular reason.

No particular reason

In a utopian alternate reality, the library format used by dj flash drives has been standardized and venues run equipment made by a variety of manufacturers, not just Pioneer/AT.

You know, kind of like how records tend to work on any turntable.

Burning your popcorn is a good way to make sure you don’t eat the whole thing.

Or at least it helps.

Sometimes I post the most unhinged shit on Reddit and think about how there’s more than enough info on there to doxx me, and the only thing standing in the way is the flimsiest of auto generated usernames.

But are we suuuuuure he wasn’t trans?

Also not me getting impatient and eating it frozen.

Not me over here in my bedroom thawing a frozen uncrustable with a heating pad.

Oooo transphobic, I was not aware of that. That’s a deal killer for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally, after all these years, I think I finally properly *get* Stoneproof - Everything’s Not You.

Maybe that’ll get back in the trance rotation now.

Records are for playing. Each time you listen to a record, it’s a unique experience because each play wears both the media and stylus. You will never hear the same record exactly the same way twice.

That’s what makes them special to me. Records have a lifespan and I get to be a part of it.

As a DJ, I’ve always felt like records are for playing. For me, they’re tools. They’re meant to be played. I used to often buy two of the ones I liked best specifically because I knew one was going to get destroyed by cue burn.

That’s obviously an extreme case but my point still stands.

That’s fine, of course. I have records I only look at (a flexi disc made as a rave promo and a 1/33 lathe cut The Black Dog 7” — *flexxxx* 😁).

I just wish more of the new buyers were buying them for listening.

New records *do* tend to sound pretty clean these days.

I’m guessing neither, tbh.

These are a product for people that like to look at records, the people that expect all records to be colorful and hung on the wall as art.

So who is the target audience for these adorable tiny records?

Is it the absolute beginner with the cheapest turntable they could find?

Or is it the intermediate-to-advanced consumer that would normally be more interested in playing a 12” (or even 7”) that sounds better?

Fully manual decks tend to either be low quality suitcase decks (lots of Crosley mess) or more expensive stuff meant for people who’ve had more experience with vinyl.

Tiny 3”-4” vinyl is going to be tricky to play for a lot of people.

Automatic turntables will no play these things under normal conditions. At best you’ll get a few seconds and it will reset the arm.

This makes them unplayable on one of the most accessible but good beginner decks: the AT-LP60X.

Tiny Vinyl is a new pocketable record format for the Spotify age Format is “more aligned with how artists are making and releasing music in the streaming era.”…

Ok so artists at now releasing tracks on 3”-4” vinyl. Cute right? It’s the music you love on little baby records!

Except how does one listen to these?
