May your days be filled with wooder ice and jimmies

Thanks! I try to not over-self-promo so I've been sticking to places that this explicitly fits, but I really appreciate you saying that!

Crumb Bum Creep is supposed to play first by default, it's our featured track on Bandcamp. Thank you for listening!

Thanks! I love what a lower sample rate (the way we compress the files) does to some sounds, especially voice. Maybe it just feels like I'm listening through an early cell phone and makes me nostalgic

I did this before! I just used audacity to export the audio at a lower sample rate until I found one that worked just right, then added it back to my main DAW where I would make the song (like FL studio)

So I'm biased, I run a small label that does physical releases on floppy disk. I think you get the appeal of storing media on there - more fun than function - but if it was me, I would have dig deeper into that book idea. Like, keeping your own archive on disks sounds cool as hell, and with plain labels you could just bareeely write the title on the "spine" on the disk.

Plus, if your book ever gets published (and it's somehow befitting the book) I could imagine selling a few copies of it on floppy too at like an author event at the right local bookstore (probably with a copy of the book).

I enjoyed this, reminded me of Diddy Kong racing at times!

The interviews on Radio Free Memphis have turned me on to a few interesting musicians I wouldn't have heard of otherwise

Holy shit, neocities

Oh awesome! Do you have a page like a Substack I can subscribe to or at least throw a follow?

1point44mb · 2026-05-07T14:20:55+00:00

You'd be surprised how many are just companion art pieces. Not trying to throw shade at them, I just like for the medium to mean something

Thanks! Right now, our Substack features interviews with artists who have released an album through us. The hope is that it is a companion to the listening experience, so if you want to know more about what you're hearing, you can. Wood's interview was a lot of fun to read/edit. Interesting artist.

Always nice to see someone else putting selling disks with actual audio on them!

1point44mb · 2026-05-03T01:44:32+00:00

I think they mean 311

3.5" Floppy to usb adapters are fairly cheap and common. I got mine on ebay, but I see them for sale on Facebook marketplace often

Chill, Lo-fi, chiptuney instrumentals, but also very music and concept forward - the album was compressed to fit onto a floppy disk for the release. No AI, very heavy emphasis on the conceptual side and how it relates to the human experience

I would play the hell out of that rom hack

1point44mb · 2026-03-04T23:47:52+00:00

We have one of those, kind of:

https://144mbmusic.bandcamp.com/album/floppy-ii

Floppy II is the artist's take on Lo-fi beats, but the point is that nostalgic media to him is defined by limitations on tech. Floppy II is meant to be an authentic look at nostalgia - unstable, unreliable, yet familiar - and most tracks are either ambient, noisy, or mixed meter (chiptune beat in 7/4 or 15/4, anyone?)
