"A hypnotizimable person is someone who just takes in this." Perhaps we'd say who consumes. Radio.bitpunk.fm

"Don't shout for help, shout fire if you want people to help you. People already feel to involved and don't want to help. But also fire is something to put out and move on with your life." Radio.bitpunk.fm

OH on radio.bitpunk.fm, a quote by Marshall McLuahn: "The voting age is right now 18, but in your time it will be 3." This guy.

A substack friend of mine writes for Igloo magazine and has a nice writeup of this album here: https://igloomag.com/reviews/tarwater-nuts-of-ay-morr-music Currently putting it on tape after grabbing it from bandcamp. The download album is super nice tbh, it let's you pick the format and gives you a zip with album art. Which @StevenB says The Split Kit can do, but I haven't tried it yet. Bandcamp really caters to the offline listener, which is cool. And there is nothing like taking wav files and putting them on cassette.

Captchas but they are the numbers thing from severance.

Latest Poetry on Tape is now up and podpinged. Some good classic crazy cassettes in the intro and outro too. #poetry https://www.bitpunk.fm/@poetryontape/episodes/poetry-on-tape-16525

The next issue of bitpunk fm will be the 1 year anniversary! It will also be going with, like it did a year ago, to BTC Prague. For the music, I'm taking Long Distance Dedications like Casy Kasem. (Look him up if you havent heard about it, he was pretty interesting). So you can write in and dedicate a song from lnbeats.com I'll pick maybe 1 or 2 letters. Preference to those that are mailed in but I'll take digital letters as well. See you in Prague for dev/hack/day and I'll teach you how to add lightning to live audio and video streams!

Make HTML great again! Just like UbuWeb!

What I like about podcast index is you can just download mp3s. I often make CDs and mixtapes of my favorite artists. Digital music is ephemeral. It only lasts as long as there are copies. So if you like music, copy it!

Found this one yesterday. 1978. Imho it plays great but I don't mind the occasional crackle.

In the spirit of that UbuWeb manifesto, I started the last issue of bitpunk fm with this gem:

Podverse

Copying is not theft

Now in HD - bitpunk.fm

This is the manifesto of ubuweb (ubu.com), one of the longest running and complete collections of underground videos, sounds, and poetry. It has survived for over 30 years of many attempts at takedowns. From the book Duchamp is my Lawyer, which I would recommend. 1. Keep it simple and avoid constant technology updates. Ubu is plain html, written in a text editor. 2. Even a website should function offline. One should be able to take the hard disk and run. Avoid the cloud -- computers of people you don't know and who don't care who you are. 3. Don't ask for permission. You would have to wait forever, turning yourself into an accountant and a lawyer. 4. Don't promise anything. Do it the way you like it. 5. You don't need search engines. Rely on word-of-mouth and direct linking to slowly build your public. You don't need complicated protocols, digital currencies, or other proxies. 6. Everything is temporary, even after twenty years. Servers crash, disks die, life changes and shit happens. Care and redundancy are the only path to longevity.
