I like the website! The music site is great. It's like 2 clicks to music. It might be fun to have a play a random or featured track right on the home page, but you have the videos so idk it's honestly good.

I once tried to post on nostr, it's outlawed you know in the town of Gloucester. There are no ads just bitcoin for Chads, Is there anyone else here on the roster?

Thanks for playing my song! Loving this accoustic jam too. Have a good weekend filled with music!

I'm going live here in about 30 minutes for my poetry show. It's the only live poetry show consistently done, in a #v4v way in the world We will start off with WW1 poetry and then read 5 poems written just this week All of you are invited. I didn't like poetry a year ago. I get it. But it changed my life more than Bitcoin did.

That was Owen from nostr who made that Bandcamp suggestion. Bandcamp is the best place to buy new cassettes!

Inspired by that burroughs-cobain track I did a bit of music-poetry myself today.

Maybe the ultimate poet-musician collaboration? Burroughs and Cobain. Some of the best digital experiences I've had was being part of the Satellite Spotlights with the #v4v gang here in this kind of vibe. It was a very nice collaboration of visual artists, musicians, podcasters, poets and technologists. I have yet to see any digital experience match it. And you can even watch the old ones!

I read these two books back-to-back. The Dream Hotel is extremely good. The Every has some clever ideas but it's a bit campy. I'll be doing an audio review of them for the upcoming bitpunk.fm

I sent some Cosmic Cassettes out just this week. You can request one still my post card or just send me a postagram to say hi like @Boolysteed did 😆

Boosting to let boolysteed++ know I got a postagram today! https://fountain.fm/live/HiX7hWiOAY3eBMgH1qmL View quoted note →

Missed the FTIE cassette :( but listening live now! https://fountain.fm/live/HiX7hWiOAY3eBMgH1qmL View quoted note →

Despite all the encryption systems I have built and broken over the years, I think perhaps the best system today might just be an handwritten or typed letter. If you have not sent one in a while, I'd encourage you to try it for #analogaugust.

Is there an emacs plugin for nostr yet? #asknostr

@Frank Braun and Smuggler had a great podcast, cypherpunks bitstream. In episode 0x04 I think they talk about drop gangs. I'm thinking about this again after reading the Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon. Inspired by both, I wrote this speculative sonnet.

Tape shipping day! You can get one! I take advanced payments like postcards and stats!!

What I like about the surveillance state is that there are cameras everywhere. Walking outside your home is now a performance! When I go to coffee shops I dress the part. I spread out all the papers for my draft book while wearing a walkman. All caught on camera! My makeup was so so, and my reading poetry in my I'm-on-a-zoom-call-in-public-voice could have been louder, but overall I was happy with my performance.

I received this postagram to my PO Box recently. What's a postagram? It's return of value to me in the form of a postcard. Not all value is denominated in sats. Since it's analog August, send a post card to someone! It's fun! Don't know anybody's address? No problem, send one to me. The address is on my website: bitpunk.fm

My three favorite platforms are Bandcamp, substack, and primal. In this substack article the number 1 call to action is: Let’s create a music platform that looks like a cross between Substack, Bandcamp, and Spotify. We got into this topic a bit in the recent v4vj roundtable. This article is a bit frustrating because the independent web exists. People want it, but not really. Which is why primal is popular, why people don't run their own nodes (Bitcoin or nostr relay), and why bitcoinfluencers still shill advertisers. But I do think he is correct that the future of digital music experience is more than just streaming (Spotify), more than just buying albums (Bandcamp), and more than content (substack).
