STREAMING RELEASE SOON

PARANOMIA

And I should sleep.

so it's been a little while, huh.

So there's new music coming

you've been awake all night so why should you crash out at dawn?

it's a scary time ain't it

i don't know what to think. we all know what's happened. charlie kirk died over a week ago and now we're basically getting rid of freedom of speech. the trump administration is pressuring networks and owners of stations to cut off jimmy kimmel because of something he said about maga. it's weird. living in a time when i'm fucking worried about the speech of the mainstream media. it's weird.

it also cuts into any narrative that it's all controlled because the us government is doing that right now. they're taking programs off the air because they're saying things about trump they don't like. it's fucking despicable. it's terrifying.

i don't know what to believe anymore. i don't know if there's any pragmatic path we can go down to fix this. i think charlie kirk was a despicable being and i can't cry for his death yet other than making a few people momentarily happy it's just giving the trump admin cause célèbre to do whatever they want to do. i am glad he isn't around to spew hate. but ive fucking lost hope in all of this. i've lost hope.

i fucking hate conservatives. it is an inherently evil ideology. what the fuck do we realistically do about it. what do we do? because i keep seeing things about how trump's approval rating is in the toilet. yeah okay. that doesn't matter anymore. the world has changed now. the us is the country of project 2025, palantir and the heritage foundation. they aren't going to let go.

song download.

so i managed to do it. i got my 1st gen ipod classic (with a nonborked scroll wheel now, yay) on its original firmware, version 1.0 from 2001. why? i don't know. i wanted to. it feels special. there's something different about using an ipod 1st gen with the firmware it came with, with the hardware it was meant to be used with. it just feels right.

oh, and the hardware i used it with is a power mac g4 dual 1.25ghz MDD model i just picked up, it's gorgeous. still need to get it cleaned off though, it's a bit dirty.

but yeah – i added a new tab for files at the top of this site that i would like to preserve. if you are in the minority of people who have a 1st gen ipod and want to restore it to the original firmware, you're in luck if somehow the archive.org preserved version of that zip goes away. thanks to emma smith from reddit for preserving this and writing a tutorial on how to restore back to the 1.0 firmware, even though you probably won't even know this is posted.
