Cory Doctrow on music streaming. For us music makers, its a grim read but we know tge situation very well. For mudic fzns, please read and take note.

Ultimately a big reason I’m here, I run my own servers and have stopped releasing to stresming platforms.

It’s time to fight back.

Yeah but how will people know what glue to put on their pizza?!

Added some more designs for the Redbubble shop.

There's 3 collections to choose from.

Firstly there's a load of Liotia swag, designed by the brilliant Maple Tea Press.

Then some INPC bits and bobs to brighten up you life.

Finally the Word Up collection let's you tell people what time it is with the Rassclart! and 4x4= Bellend funky fonts.

I don't mind that stuff... But Excel!?!? Fuck that guy!

As promised...

This one's a banger! Bizzy B is a legend of Drum and Bass and as this tape fully demonstrates, he was there since day...

These tracks got me so hyped back then. No one down my way was up on the ruffneck drum and bass sounds. Luckily I got quite a few of the Brain Records tracks on vinyl (some on white label) thanks to Joel at Pryme Tyme in Lewisham.

I was getting some DJ sets at this point and would confuse the hell out of people when I played stuff like this. Fuck them! n00bs lol.

Recorded in John Fisher Street, Wapping, East London, summer 1992.

PoW

I call this the Wu Tang

For Jungle heads... Uploading a Bizzy B set from early 1993 (or possibly late 1992) from Impact FM.

Brain Records were killing it then!

Or garlic, chilli and ginger. A power trio for sure.

I see a lot of posts comparing Nostr to the early web, there’s were similar posts on the Fediverse. Maybe the future is just more smaller, niche communities again instead of big platforms? The Fedi will attract folks for one set of principles, Nostr for another and maybe of platforms emerge?

I’d quite like that, I just don’t want to be on corporate vibes anywhere, be that Meta, LinkedIn or BlueSky, it’s not for me.

Richi Goldman-Sunak really is a cunt.

Have you tried to get zaps on PeerTube yet? Couldn’t see a button.

I wonder what they’ll rebrand it as for next time? At least it’s been kicked down the road a bit. Big up Meredith Whittaker and the others who’ve worked so hard pushing back on this.

Hey Siri, go away.

Haha I beat the banks by having no money lololol
