"Artists are tired of tech platforms that pay them virtually nothing, owned by degenerate billionaires that see all human creativity as interchangeable aesthetic wallpaper, valued only for its ability to make numbers go up. Everywhere I go, people are exhausted by the never-ending scroll, desperately wanting to reconnect with something real."

At this point, even CDs are retro.
@killyourfm @potatosandwichjen I’m fully onboard with rebuilding my physical media collection. It’s going well and I live very second of it.
@DarkAthena @killyourfm I'm still mourning our first big purge of albums and cassettes. Oh!
@killyourfm I don’t go as far as buying tapes, but owning and sorting my music already changed my relationship to it.
One of the most notable changes: I listen to whole albums. An artist is more than a single fashionable song.
You can still own music
@killyourfm I found the last Walkman I bought myself when I was 16. Need to dig out some cassettes for it. I’ve also now got a home cd player and I’ve resurrected my mp3 player.
They’re all great, and the music doesn’t stop when you lose mobile connectivity
@killyourfm I started to collect music CDs this Autumn and movies on Blu-rays 😄 Slowly building my physical media collection. When it comes to video games I try to buy DRM free on GOG whenever possible. Also I cannot imagine using services like Audible to buy audiobooks that I actually cannot backup.
@christopher Yea, especially considering how much the average audiobook costs!
@killyourfm I have been very much enjoying having vinyls and CDs. Same with physical media for games, shows, and movies. I feel more connected to the media when I consume it
@zeebok YUP. That tangibility is everything.
@killyourfm Completely onboard with this idea… But I have to be honest, cassettes are the absolute last type of media I would choose to own. But a lot of people think I’m nuts for going to vinyl.
But in the end we all should go back to owning things and not renting them!
@killyourfm my wife bought me a tape player few days ago
@sharan OH AWESOME! Is it a portable one? Are you enjoying it?
@killyourfm portable, old school one. Of course I do, i have something like 100 tapes, and my band released a tape this year. I mean, album on tape.
@sharan Thanks for the reminder to follow you guys on Bandcamp!
@sharan Holy shit, you guys are awesome! (Just blasted Brzi i grozni and I think my heartrate doubled. KILLER guitar solo on that track)
Regarding Bruddi Luddi: this is basically the punk rock version of Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti." If you haven't heard of it, you'll find your choruses very similar.
I have to buy this.
@killyourfm bruddi luddi is tutti frutti, in mc5 manner who also covered it. I am a huge fan of little Richard and Detroit proto punk.
I'll need to translate the lyrics then... Thank you!
@killyourfm thank you for the follow. We're already working on a new stuff. Two new shorter releases one ep and one Split lp , and then back to third album.
