@dpnem Yeah, I don't get that. in reply to dpnem #
OK! Thanks to @mystified131 I found out why certain people were unable to extract the zip, fixed now! http://t.co/RhDZh2ng #
@dpnem Certain windows computers were having problems with the apostrophes in the name of the folder, so I changed the folder name in reply to dpnem #
@erstlaub Yeah, they pretty much baffle me as well. When I was really young, and stoned, one time I liked "Dogs Blood Rising". in reply to erstlaub #
Netlabel reviews: http://t.co/UGGmxCpR Clay Gold, @hecanjog @computerneix Travis Johnson, Lezet, @meteer Naive Mind @dpnem #

@meteer You're very welcome! in reply to meteer #
@dpnem You're welcome! in reply to dpnem #
@Gurdonark A drone in waltz time. Also Charles Ives. in reply to Gurdonark #
Listen: There probably never was – never will be – a moment as sincerely touching as Rodney King's "Can't we all just get along?" Respect. #
@c_a_harebell That sounds awesome, you should definitely do it. in reply to c_a_harebell #
@cinchel Yeah, I do the same thing with my penis. @LeBerger @dpnem in reply to cinchel #
I must admit, I just do not get the appeal of http://t.co/tb9NgmjZ – Apparently people spend hours editing shit there. I can't stand it. #
@Steve_Hamann I know! It's already not a fun editing process, and then it ends up being worse than wikipedia with the editors. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@Steve_Hamann I mean, you'd think they'd defer to the artist him/her-self as an authority on the subject… in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@mrdankelly Aw. I remember when our duck was that age. in reply to mrdankelly #
Egypt & US: progressives refuse to participate in election process & then when things don't go their way, that's proof they were right #dumb #
@mrdankelly It's so cute it makes me want to choke someone to death. in reply to mrdankelly #
Argh! Why must weekends end? #
@cinchel It takes a lot of practice… I'm sure you can get it! 🙂 in reply to cinchel #
Today: I dealt w/ a flat tire (poorly), fixed the brakes on the car & finished a remix for the @implicitorder titled "A Harsh Bunny Town" #
@hecanjog You got it, man. Thanks for continuing to make cool stuff and sharing it for free! in reply to hecanjog #
@computerneix You are welcome! Sorry it's such a goofy review, I think that release is fantastic, though! in reply to computerneix #
Acoustic drones on Vuzh Music this month: http://t.co/HJ0sIYox by Jeph Jerman #dronelife #ccdrone #netlabel #
Some discussion of cc licenses going on at the Vuzh Music blog, join if you have an opinion: http://t.co/IlCD8KiD #
In case you missed it, I have published a bunch of mini reviews: http://t.co/IlCD8KiD #
Wow dear glob it was HOT today. #
Gin and tonics are not cutting the heat. Solution: More gin and tonic! #
@c_a_harebell Fill that void, baby. *spank* in reply to c_a_harebell #
@cinchel Cheers! in reply to cinchel #
@implicitorder It should be downloadable… hm. I'll set up a webpage with the link so you can right click it. in reply to implicitorder #
@implicitorder Just DMed a link to you. in reply to implicitorder #
Wifey is threatening to make pornographic bentos for me to… "eat". #
@DaveSeidel Is that an @audibledisease pedal in there (with the bright LED?) in reply to DaveSeidel #
Here's to open source music, the way of the future. Props to @hecanjog & @computerneix /// http://t.co/UGGmxCpR #
@Gurdonark Thanks! in reply to Gurdonark #
Open source music is the way of the future: Props to @hecanjog & @computerneix for releasing source code AND licensing their music for remix #
@Gurdonark Yes, the last 9 months didn't feel too far removed from the netlabel culture for me personally, but obviously it was in practice. in reply to Gurdonark #
I'm poking away at more reviews. Unfortunately the new batch of stuff I downloaded isn't as much to my taste. Would rather not go negative. #
Earlier iterations are FAR more interesting to me. RT @danspock Can music evolve like animals do in the natural world? http://t.co/wpJB473u #
@DaveSeidel I have a couple of their pedals. Great equipment! in reply to DaveSeidel #
Looks great! will d-load RT: @Le_Berger just to be clear, we're talking about #ccmusic #netlabel free frikkin' download http://t.co/GnXBV8vX #
Geez, maybe we should all shoot some unarmed black kid so we can get rich too: http://t.co/OAUtTGR7 #trayvon #compassionateconservativism #
@Le_Berger Yes, I see many good names in the artist list. in reply to Le_Berger #
@DaveSeidel I have Convulsion 2 and Infection 3 in reply to DaveSeidel #
@DaveSeidel It's still on… more info soon! in reply to DaveSeidel #
@dpnem Will do. I'm kind of interested in trying to describe the work in a non-negative way, and then add "yet I do not like it myself" in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I think that serves to interest those that might have interest, without seeming like a personal endorsement – as reviews can be in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Drone Forest did drone remixes of famous commercial artists: http://t.co/35dbsYOe Source material was so mashed as to be unimportant! in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem Actually most of Drone Forest stuff was completely free to download, just the one (really good) 12" 🙂 in reply to dpnem #
Everyone's all a-twitter about this NPR blog post, I probably will need to read it, someone remind me once I get back home from work. #
@Le_Berger @cinchel This was a relevant tactic for the cassette underground. I don't believe it drove sales much. in reply to Le_Berger #
Many people who sell their music are constantly stressed/frustrated by the business (& lack of it). No one I know who shares it for free is. #
I'm not saying one is "better" than the other, but this is an easily observable phenomenon. #
Good to see after that "evolved" melody thing yesterday RT @danspock Steven Pinker: The False Allure Of Group Selection http://t.co/WVuAwr2F #
@jshell Always box your own stuff!!!!!! UPS stores suck. in reply to jshell #
@jinjurly He's getting slaughtered by the netlabel underground. in reply to jinjurly #
@jinjurly There's also tons of music that is free by design. in reply to jinjurly #
@c_a_harebell Hey, @jinjurly posted a picture of bats http://t.co/1aIj7R51 #
@c_a_harebell @jinjurly look what else I just found: RT @SoundCloud Ever wondered what 1.5 million bats sounded like? http://t.co/0e9JaiRv #
@jinjurly I haven't seen any this afternoon, just yours. This morning was pretty active w/ it. I still need to catch up on reading it all in reply to jinjurly #
@JANietoPangea You're welcome! in reply to JANietoPangea #
@jshell Oh glob, me too! I couldn't stand dubbing, photocopying, cutting, assembling, any of it! in reply to jshell #
@Le_Berger My greater point is: find something that satisfies you personally and creatively first, rather than find a successful sales model in reply to Le_Berger #
OMG Music downloading prolly killed Kurt Cobain too!!! We're all guilty!!! 🙁 KONY KONY KONY #
@danspock @mbytz Yes, the problem is that this presumes that moving toward a popular consensus produces something "better". So wrong. in reply to danspock #
OMG Music downloading killed Jimi Hendrix! How can you sleep at night, you PIRATES? #kony2012 #
Younger generation, you are the barf that filled his lungs. #
@jinjurly The lousy ones sure did obscure the nice ones though. in reply to jinjurly #
@postsilence Denver will get back to you on that, right after another few beers and the ball game. in reply to postsilence #
@Gurdonark … as though it were a BAD thing. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Le_Berger It always gets mingled together. It's easier to spread misinformation than correct it! @gurdonark in reply to Le_Berger #
@Gurdonark @Le_Berger Wouldn't they have to be free? in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark Actually, sewing a branded shirt per order would be pretty cool. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark @LeBerger The lie goes all the way around the world before the truth gets on its socks. in reply to Gurdonark #
Wow. Okay, not only has my website gone down, @dreamhost itself is totally inaccessible. This happens too often. #
I'm guessing @dhstatus won't update, nor the http://t.co/6u7aThGN site until several hours after they resolve whatever's wrong. #
@alextemplemusic I've been hearing some good things about them. in reply to alextemplemusic #
@alextemplemusic That's on my reading list. in reply to alextemplemusic #
@alextemplemusic Right now I'm reading "Noise" by Jacques Attali & "Audio Culture" compiled/edited by the awesome Christoph Cox in reply to alextemplemusic #
@asphalteden I suspect you might like the new Bing Satellites: http://t.co/4M0ZQWzW in reply to asphalteden #
@jinjurly @gurdonark I agree, NPRs taste in new music is… not mine. We're lucky to have public radio here, but reception isn't great in reply to jinjurly #
@jinjurly @gurdonark Otherwise, music on radio is abhorrent. #
@jinjurly No shit! Phranc knocks all the pins down. in reply to jinjurly #
@jinjurly @gurdonark That was a great conversation you guys. (I eavesdropped) (An hour after the fact) in reply to jinjurly #
@mrdankelly Shaddup an' get ta work. in reply to mrdankelly #
@jinjurly Good, that means I don't have to retweet the whole thing when I get back home! in reply to jinjurly #
@danspock Pretty sure I've never put any truck in the Billboard charts. What a majority wants is not what everyone wants. in reply to danspock #
@cinchel Sorry dude, I don't think I can make it to any of them. in reply to cinchel #
@disquiet Well, that's one good artist to file there, but… in reply to disquiet #
@alextemplemusic uh oh. in reply to alextemplemusic #
Read me: RT @jinjurly FINALLY. here's the storify re: lowery, white, et al. http://t.co/M6j8I2UQ #
I started to write a drone music ethos, and then it changed into a subversive music ethos, and then it collapsed in on itself. #
This is where the people who run @soundcloud live http://t.co/i24aT0LJ #
.@jshell I approach drones as equal to noise in that it is subversive against the dominant paradigm. Patience is as in-your-face as volume. in reply to jshell #
New contact: Local guy doing experimental music, writes w/ an invitation to play live in Fort Collins (possibly w/ @falsereactions /Radere) #
@asphalteden Don't worry: I don't know you. in reply to asphalteden #
Time to listen to Negativeland? #
That's the letter 'U' and the numeral '2': http://t.co/wNsl83jR Negativeland #
I had absolutely no idea that Casey Kasem did the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Doo until reading his Wikipedia just now. #
Language Log vs. "verses" http://t.co/5qVHg4Ty #
@falsereactions Gotcha. in reply to falsereactions #
Alright then. I guess I'll just go ahead and drive to work and hope that I'll be awake sometime before I have to do something dangerous. #
@dpnem Decomposing's another thing altogether. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem You should read the book I'm reading, a good overview of Modernist musical theories. Audio Culture edited by Christoph Cox. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem I most definitely don't agree with all of the stuff in the book, but it gives a wide variety of thought that brought us to now. in reply to dpnem #
iPod shuffle pronounces Radere "Rad-Air" as if it were 2 words & Offthesky as if it were a Polish or Russian name Ovdyiski @falsereactions in reply to falsereactions #
iPod shuffle's pronounciations crack me up. Pretty low percentage of correct / intelligible ones. #
Flakes #
@Steve_Hamann I agree. Cox tends to be a writer I agree with more than not, but I haven't read the piece he's got in the book yet in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@implicitorder She's been busy w/ school in reply to implicitorder #
Something about free netlabels distributing via Bandcamp seems weird. Probably just me though. #
Also something weird about this beer: Great Divide Rumble Oak Aged IPA. Can't decide if good weird or bad weird. #
@asphalteden My friend Thomas has put out a free release by Forrest Fang on his netlabel Treetrunk: http://t.co/1YQlvzQc #
I feel a twitter litany coming on. #mustresist #
I suspect I am becoming a bit more radical in my views of music. This obviously affects what I want to make and what I want to listen to. #
No. I will resist a twitter lecture. Instead I'm going to the brewery to read my book. #
@Steve_Hamann Tempt me not! Just dwelling on an idea of subversive music.Was about to damn guitars & realized I was flogging a dead horse. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
Going to start a whole lot of netlabel downloads before I'm off to the brewery. #
@sonicsquirrel Hey congrats! Thanks for supporting cc music! in reply to sonicsquirrel #
"As soon as the call is in the air, it no longer belongs to the frog that produced it." -Francisco Lopez. Shit my akousmatikoi says. #
EPIPHANY: The akousmatikoi are the libertarians of sonic practice. #
Dude, there were some serious frat-bros at the brewery today. At times I'm thankful for the attention bubble. #
Having more than one "what on Earth drove me to follow this person on @soundcloud" moment. #
@Gurdonark Yes, I'm going through a soundcloud purge right now. LJ is a major contrast-one of its downfalls. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark Thanks for the tweet. Abstract music "about" things is getting some thought lately… so far surviving my re-alignment. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark LJ was ridiculously flawed, but I cannot say I miss any social network more than LJ at its peak. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark Yes… however, I think we diverge in my aversion to pastoral poetics and attraction to relational meaning. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark To me mythology is dangerous poetic nostalgia unless a relation is drawn to the present time (mythology is useless otherwise) in reply to Gurdonark #
We should all sit and have a tea together. When's the big #ccmusic festival? #
@Gurdonark @Le_Berger We need one. This has been a real consideration of mine for a while. We now at have @djunto concerts, happily. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark This is the quandary I find myself in: I am facing the challenge. in reply to Gurdonark #
Interdisciplinary discussion of Emily White / David Lowery kerfuffle: http://t.co/4vipLGxF #
Dude. Only about 10% of the netlabel stuff I downloaded is properly tagged. The worst: "Track 1" by unknown, "Track 2" by unknown… #
@Gurdonark Arg. Yes, now I'm trying to figure out what the hell I downloaded. in reply to Gurdonark #
@Gurdonark Loopers are cheap. in reply to Gurdonark #
@erstlaub My old copy was beaten up when I got it and got much more beaten up while I've had it. A book that gets a lot of love. in reply to erstlaub #
@computerneix Thanks for the tweet Miquel! in reply to computerneix #
Hot day forecast. It'll be over 90° in the office today. And probably over 90 db w/ fans & swamp coolers. #
Fort Collins show on July 5 looks like it's happening. Inaugural C. Reider live show. No Idea what I'll do yet. @falsereactions #
Yup. RT: @Steve_Hamann: @Le_Berger A lot of purveyors of the ambient swing to the sucking-on-mama's-teat side of things a little too often. #
@leonrosado @Steve_Hamann @Le_Berger I think ambient is a fine over-arching term, but it has to be qualified. in reply to leonrosado #
@Steve_Hamann @leonrosado @Le_Berger I do have to say that people who describe themselves as fans of 'ambient' usually don't like my music. in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@Le_Berger Depends. Is it unreleased because it's not your best material? If so then let it be forgotten (it will be eventually anyway). in reply to Le_Berger #
Cooling down w/ Grand Teton Brewing's Sweetgrass American Pale Ale. #
@mystified131 You next. Mystified should play live. in reply to mystified131 #
I should probably release the new C. Reider recording before the show just in case. #
"Owning Extinctions" was not the first album of 'disaster ambient' I have ever done: http://t.co/st4tFk8w This is about #chernobyl #
I should actually take the fact that I'm always on @twitter when no one else is as a hint. #
Oh, man with whom I am doing business… why are you not returning my calls. It's because you've already been paid isn't it? So fuck me. #
Performance = plugging into the chaos engine. #
Always helpful to remember you ain't in control. #entropyrules #
gh, m v mn l.bv #
My cat Lumpy tweeted that last tweet. #
Yes. RT: @dpnem: 99 years later, “The Art of Noises” by Luigi Russolo is still current (PDF) http://t.co/08atcHkS #
Man, a lot of netlabels have really ugly, hard-to-use websites. #
Tiny, dark colored fonts on a black background, dark blue links on black background, no release date info = frustrating netlabel experience. #
@Steve_Hamann I wish that were the only one. Here's another: http://t.co/vc0gE09G Plus… Frames? What? in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@leonrosado No, your label is easy to read & navigate. in reply to leonrosado #
Looks like Petcord netlabel is no more. http://t.co/qb7OvI4f #
@dpnem That's BS. in reply to dpnem #
@dpnem @davidtouve @jinjurly What's Creative Commons? http://t.co/IURtYCwj in reply to dpnem #
I am tackling my email backlog with a high degree of courage. *grits teeth* #
I keep forgetting to mention here: There is a new netlabel review site here: http://t.co/nsjvfhxP … and there was much rejoicing. #
And now Estes Park is on fire too. RT: @denverpostlite: Estes Park fire burns at least six homes, spreads into forest http://t.co/E0Ih6Hcr #
I'm helping the wifey work on a remix. It's sounding very doom-y. #
@Steve_Hamann What? in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@Steve_Hamann Even as a lineage of what led to "IDM" (or whatever) that's a limited comp, where's industrial music? ClockDVA, Severed Heads? in reply to Steve_Hamann #
@Steve_Hamann … and Public Enemy, where are they? in reply to Steve_Hamann #
DAVID BOWIE, MOTHERFUCKERS! #
