@nukleon: yeah I don't know much about this thing, I just got it because it was inexpensive and did the exact thing I was looking for. reasonably pleased with the quality, especially for like $30.

@dconrad: let's just say you might hear it on this week's stream

@csl316: he and I don't really talk much these days

@neau: MinnTrax

@jstaunton: it's just a deeply annoying song that is like nails on a chalkboard, to me.

@dumo: they're holding up great, man. had to replace a few heads and one of the connecters is a little loose, but everything works and registers perfectly.

@dumo: haven't talked to anyone over there in a while, and the last word I got from them is that absent a hardware partner, there were no plans to push forward with anything pertaining to that stuff. you might just want to reach out to whoever it is running their twitter account these days? i feel like they've been pretty responsive to me in the past--but also that might just be because I used to work there.

@s10129107: The cymbals/drum brain are from the old Ion Drum Rocker. The drums are custom built by @dumo. He wrote about the process here:

@goodeyeclosed: I made a free association between an (awful) song used by the Buttigieg campaign, and a widely shared meme from a New York Times interview. I am by no means a Buttigieg fan, but I am also not actually accusing him of having involved himself in a price fixing scandal. Just referencing two things in my brain I associate him and his campaign with.

@donpureevil: if it makes you feel any better, that's the only BAP song. all playlists from here on out will be BAP free.
