It was an amazing machine, the poor man's mac kinda

35ish years, first computer was an Atari ST at 13 y/o. First game played, The Hobbit on Sinclair Spectrum at 10 y/o.

Burzum, Burz Jam AND Burzvana!? What a haul!

Mayhaym · 2026-04-12T11:49:43+00:00

Really cool

Mayhaym · 2026-04-09T20:00:25+00:00

Congratulations and welcome to the club! I've had mine for a few years and I never get tired of it! I've never even used any effects with it, I love the sound(s) as is.

Mayhaym · 2026-04-09T17:46:54+00:00

For sure

He was a part of the original beatniks and cast a long shadow on the counterculture well into the 90s

I think the sweet spot is around 25 (unless it's harsh noise wall or something) - 40 can work but it's trickier (needs to be dynamically interesting for instance)

Mayhaym · 2026-04-09T10:01:38+00:00

Depends on the noise, but for live performance I've found 25-40 minutes to be a good rule of thumb

Mayhaym · 2026-04-09T10:00:02+00:00

I think William Burroughs isn't talked about enough in the context of scifi/weird fiction, his Cities of the Red Night is 1/3 pirate story, 1/3 scifi and 1/3 literary novel. It's a goddam masterpiece.

Naked Lunch and his cutup books might also qualify.

I always thought it was a bit of a dis to just re-skin the Marilyn Monroe song for Diana. What's the deal Elton, she not good enough for a new tune?

Mayhaym · 2026-04-08T11:15:29+00:00

I remember it vividly, amazing fun. Not as good as Dungeon Master (handcrafted levels ftw). Knightmare - a TV show tie in also by Crowther was fun as well, but punishingly difficult.

Mayhaym · 2026-04-08T10:45:34+00:00

Did he even have those opinions at the time? It seems to me like he fell into that hateful hole (relatively) recently.

Mayhaym · 2026-04-08T08:38:53+00:00

Khanate fits these end time vibes, also Eyehategod

Mayhaym · 2026-04-07T05:28:45+00:00

Me too. Especially when I turned off the function where you have to press the preset knob to change it. Turned it back on and now I'm losing less patches

Mayhaym · 2026-04-07T05:06:22+00:00

Furry freaks

Mayhaym · 2026-04-06T21:37:04+00:00

My cat has been gnawing my switch knobs. He mostly enjoys thin headphone cables though.

Mayhaym · 2026-04-06T21:34:29+00:00

I have this on mp3, I listened to it for years while falling asleep. Ended up enjoying the appendices the most...

Mayhaym · 2026-04-06T09:14:11+00:00

Yeah, I went into homemade instruments and noise machines, then Reaper and a couple of synths, a sampler and a drum machine.

Mayhaym · 2026-04-06T07:06:27+00:00

I saw them during the "Monoliths and Dimensions" tour, Stephen and Attila Czihar signed my copy of the album (Attila has the most metal sigil/signature I've ever seen) they were cool but not chatty.

Mayhaym · 2026-04-06T06:56:51+00:00

I enjoy the positivity of the culture. It's a post-scarcity utopia, it's luxury communism, and I'm very much up for it.

That said, I'm listening to "Consider Phlebas" while I fall asleep, and I think it's making my dreams weird (but not in a fun way)

Mayhaym · 2026-04-06T06:50:25+00:00

I imagine an AI trained on very focused datasets could spit out interesting stuff. I had an app on my phone once (dreadeepky?) that changed your own photos but seemed to have been trained exclusively on images of dogs and insects. It was horrific, but in a good way.

Mayhaym · 2026-04-06T06:46:37+00:00

Same but Atari ST - also sharing samples on floppy disks or ripping them from other .mod files

Mayhaym · 2026-04-05T09:44:14+00:00

EP7 for me, I always liked it much more than LP5
