A low-fi audiozine that puts the punk back in cypherpunk.
@ChadF and 33 others is on such a bender right now. This is what happens when one person with passion goes loose and makes things for a community. Part of me wants to see him infused with funding just to watch what will happen. But I know how that story ends, horribly in enshittification. I don't even like listening to music on a computer. But ChadF is making it fun. View quoted note โ†’
This was a great episode if you want to get a pulse on where decentralized music is now and where it's going. The Doerfels family are very talent musicians, running nodes, self hosting, live streaming from their home studio and doing these kind of interviews. Love the format too of mixing in songs with the interview. View quoted note โ†’
If your cassette deck is screaming at you or making an odd sound, really scrub those pinch rollers. Most people think the tape is pulled from the rotating sprockets -- it's not. The capstan and the pinch rollers pull the tape at a (somewhat) constant speed. You gotta get in there and really scrub those rollers. The heads will also collect rust of course, but I see a lot of neglected rollers.
