I really love the idea of you 1CC-ing an 8-bit compile STG and then getting completely stumped by a Naughty Dog Sokobon lol

those kicks in policy of truth will hit you square in the solar plexus lol. it's great for testing frequency response, which is as good an excuse as any to listen to a lifelong favorite imo

I do need to get the top panel powder coated soon, though.
Folks, I cannot recommend enough: stalking japanese auction websites for vintage hifi gear no one is bidding on several years ago, and living in an area with Cool Old Nerds that get really excited about fixing old amps.

I saw one at a thrift store in cap hill that's gone now and they wanted $50 and I was like, for the famously reviled failure box? No thanks! It was 2012. I was a fool. I now know better than to buy a non-japanese FZ-1 without a mode switch.

People buying CDs at the register in Starbucks in 2008 were too old and frail for Accelerate, then Collapse was curtain call.
That's my extremely scientific read on where they started to slip in cultural relevance.

post
I have a theory that they got culturally swept into the cringe bin after a few too many earnest pop songs in the 90s. Then Monster derails the train, then Bill has to retire, then they chill way out for three albums, and by then they're Starbuckswave.

to be fair, that's also in part because You Could Have It So Much Better was, uh, let's call it uneven (I'm sorry @helenquinn.bsky.social please don't kill me to death)
Actually I haven't listened to that album in years, who can say. Vinny caravella voice I've been wrong before.

I'll say. I've had to go through three just to assemble one good one. It kicks so much ass though lmao there is a deep well of sicko shit on that machine.

Granted, so far our whole show has been "college radio rock for dads" bands, so this phenomena may be... self selecting lol.

It's not like, a concern or anything. This is a side project that's just an excuse to talk about music with my friends, I'm not worried about engagement or whatever. But even stuff like their subreddit is way smaller than I would have expected.

It is, in a weird way, statistically fascinating that absolutely no one ever interacts with these posts lmao. Partly, I assume, because we haven't posted any episodes yet. But also it's kinda wild that a band that was so big for so long just elicits crickets now, 14 years after retirement.

Just let me sit down with all this equipment and not have to worry about every other plate I have to keep spinning to make a living, and I will give your game a soundtrack that people will want to buy. Just let us cook and watch the money roll in.

you could have a FULL TIME GIG as a studio composer. not per project. not per gig. you were on the payroll across titles. that just, I don't know. I haven't seen it. at least not at a livable wage
comment in response to
post
The mid to late aughts was a transitional period where the industry saw a hugely increased cash flow with relative consistency and most of the studios big enough to have dedicated in-house composers also stopped making video games in favor of making shareholder value

I'm sorry but I will always be 8 years old about these things man. Put a hardback library book full of these bad boys under a box held up by a stick and a piece of string and I'll knowingly walk into that trap.
