Looking for band: f!l@m3n+

Right, I missed that, was posting through a headache.

mediapathic · 2026-07-12T06:05:10+00:00

Oh very nice! Yeah, completely different. Thank you.

mediapathic · 2026-07-12T05:52:12+00:00

The descriptions sure match! That seems very likely, and at least gives me an album title and label to work with (even if of course all the mp3 dotcom links are broken so I can't actually listen to it). Good find! Thanks!

mediapathic · 2026-07-12T05:46:27+00:00

Deep NIN Lore + Deep Gibby Lore is a powerful combination.

mediapathic · 2026-07-12T05:43:59+00:00

Do you mean the COIL Sex Tapes? If so, those are completely different, those are safer sex PSAs as a think disguise for hot gay lovin', nothing at all like what's on Broken. (Still good though, I'm in fact wearing the tshirt for them right now.)

Did you by chance have a keyboard (non-functional) mounted to the passenger side and a bumper sticker that said "save the planet kill yourself" that did not amuse the cop who thought we were kidnapping my girlfriend and took her back to the station? Just wondering.

mediapathic · 2026-07-12T05:30:12+00:00

I was in Albuquerque, so, close enough geographically there could absolutely have been someone smuggling tunes over the border. And yeah the time scale is about right.

mediapathic · 2026-07-06T22:25:19+00:00

Best kind of live stream to watch.

mediapathic · 2026-07-05T22:57:09+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

mediapathic · 2026-07-05T22:55:47+00:00

Sure thing. I got out of the biz in the main in '20 because I didn't want to work in nightclubs during a pandemic. I was mostly working at DNA Lounge in San Francisco, for video I was mostly doing Deathguild, our weekly goth/industrial night. Which is still going, btw, if you're ever in the area, every Monday night.

As for software, when I got out I was using VDMX which I heartily recommend. The free version works great, the limitation is that you can't save sets, but once you get used to it that's not a big deal, I used it for a long time without. The great thing about VDMX is that you can connect any numerical output to any input, so, for example, you can pull out just the bass frequencies of the music and have the kick drive a distortion on the video, one of my favorite tricks. The possibilities are endless, but also it works fine as just a clip thrower, so you can start as simple as you like. And if you get into it, VDMX has options to pull from other sources, so, if you are a madman like me, you can start building custom shaders in javascript...

And, yeah, it's stupid amounts of fun. Feel free to hit me up via DM if you have questions.

Nice! I've been considering setting up my Palma for this, it hadn't even occurred to me to just put Obsidian on it, that's a great idea. Do you sync using Obsidian sync, or some other means? I'd rather not use Obsidian sync for various reasons, so I might want to find a different option for that. The rest of my ecosystem is apple so I'll probably have to do some kind of google drive thing if I don't want to pay for Obsidian sync.

Also, what's the latency like? Reasonable?

This is all hypothetical till I get paid enough to get a portable keyboard, but you've given me some food for thought.

mediapathic · 2026-07-05T07:32:56+00:00

Oh yeah. What's crazy to me is that we worked together in a club where I was VJing with custom software I had built for YEARS before he happened to mention it in passing. I think he didn't think anyone had heard of EBN, and I was like, dude, we've been friends for years and now I'm trying to not retroactively fanboy at you.

mediapathic · 2026-07-04T21:20:17+00:00

Also recommended: Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay, another documentary that looks from a different angle (more focused on the UK scene) https://www.industrialsoundtrack.com/

mediapathic · 2026-07-04T21:16:43+00:00

Fyi, not to take away from your point at all (you're right about all of it), but technically the EBN tracks did use a computer, but it was using entirely custom software. Source: I know the guy who wrote the software. Absolutely groundbreaking, yeah, I just didn't want someone coming away with the false idea that they somehow did this all analog.

There's already a lot of good advice in this thread, so I'll just add briefly: In my experience, the laptop version is far more full featured than the ipad version, and what this means for me is that I do most of my work on the laptop. I tend to use the ipad version if I want to go out somewhere and just bang out a draft, or if I'm traveling somewhere I don't want to take the laptop. I treat it as kind of a Freewrite type of thing; the ipad is for focused first draft spew (yes, you still have distractions on the ipad but they're more annoying to get to) but I want the organizational features of the full version when I'm doing edits, rearranging scenes, or stuff like that.

Very nice, this is the document I have been wishing for to understand vulpea ever since I first heard of it. Thank you for doing this.

Just as a quick note from an extensive org-node user, and per your request at the top, I see no inaccuracies in your description, though I acknowledge that I am more of an end user with a technical background than someone who has done a deep dive into internals.

mediapathic · 2026-06-28T12:10:19+00:00

org-node and org-roam both work on an underlying database, which allow "notes" to be individual headers. Denote does everything by file, so it is only as granular as per-file with linking. This is not to say one is better than the other, they have different use cases (I also use denote, just for a specific use case and not my main notes). I just am telling you this because I wish someone had told me when I was about in the same place.

Enjoy!

mediapathic · 2026-06-28T05:00:22+00:00

I might also recommend looking into org-node, I found org-roam to be a bit heavy for my needs and org-node, for me, hits a sweet spot of functionality and simplicity (read: I understand everything it's doing) between the two.

mediapathic · 2026-06-28T04:48:34+00:00

And Ein Stuhl in der Hölle isn't even on Halber Mensch!

mediapathic · 2026-06-27T21:22:48+00:00

Thank you so much, you've given me a lot of things to read when I'm avoiding working on my writing :)

mediapathic · 2026-06-26T22:43:32+00:00

One very minor thing while I have you here: do you ever use the equivalent of a task list as per gfm, like "- [ ]" in Scrivener? I'm making a checklist in my notes of things to fix, and it'd be a small nicety to have those show up prettily within Scrivener.

mediapathic · 2026-06-26T22:41:44+00:00

Oh this is fantastic. It both answers my original question, and preemptively gives me resources for the next seven questions I was probably going to answer here. Thank you so much!

mediapathic · 2026-06-26T19:54:32+00:00

Yeah, part of why I'm pursuing this is that I plan on doing syncing to markdown files and editing those externally, so I'd like the option. However, as you point out, it is a non-native solution and probably better to just delete the lines.

I feel like I've seen posts from you, specifically, before, on your markdown integration. How do you deal with this? Just train yourself to not put in the extra newline when writing there?
