I need to return to this one I don't think I was quite finished with this one. I need to curb my make new sonas and abandon them habit. It feels less like a constant and changing exploration of self expression and more of a lack of confidence in what I make. I can be fluid and experimental without abandoning things like used toys. She's cute

🎉✨HAPPY (BELATED) NEW YEAR🐍 ✨🎉🎉

In Mexico it is costumary for business to give a small gift during December/January to commemorate loyal costumers from totebags to calendars as well as pens, it really is a staple in our culture...and as many of you know already I work at a printshop, and regardless of what ppl may think, this tradition is still going and give us a lot of work every year, that's why I saw fitting to keep the tradition and make this 🎊🎈🪅(and yes. It is late bc I was having a lot of work, bc of course.. I was making calendars)

331: V/A // International Pop Underground Convention

International Pop Underground Convention Various Artists 1992, K Records

My entrée to basically every art scene I’ve ever been involved in was basically just going to whatever extremely DIY festival that scene threw in my city and hoping. You see what seems like an unfathomable number of artists good and terrible (and very occasionally great), hit most of the venues, bars, and spaces worth knowing about, and sometimes even strike up some conversations with people who eventually become your friends. 1991’s International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia, organized by Candice Pedersen and Calvin Johnson of K Records, was the indie model for these fests as I’ve known them, and so it’s as directly responsible for a lot of the good stuff in my life as any musical event I can think of. Everything I’ve heard about it sounds like absolute paradise—the platonic ideal of all the times I’ve picked through mountains of sick screenprinted t-shirts by bands I’ve never heard of, eaten some weird and great food by a tattooed baker, and then ridden my bike on shrooms to catch bits of four shows on the same night, all on a dime.

The lineup on this double-live compilation is all over the place musically, but it does a beautiful job of summarizing the thing indie/alternative music of the era shared despite its sonic diversity: a sense that the music you liked and what it represented could be a space of legitimate opposition to corporatism; that there was something worthwhile in wearing that belief on your sleeveless t-shirt; that the notion of “selling out” had some real conceptual worth; that we’re in this thing together. So, the International Pop Underground Convention LP serves up first-wave riot grrl (Mecca Normal, Bratmobile); DC post-hardcore (Nation of Ulysses, Fugazi); twee indie pop (Beat Happening; Spinanes); noise rock (Melvins; Unwound); grunge-y stuff, primitive singer-songwriter folk, surf rock, plunderphonic DJ sets, and more and more besides, all recorded live and kinda badly but “real.” As individual performances, few are essential, but collectively they are a powerful document of the alternative scene as it existed in the moment right before Nevermind changed everything.

I always think about how crazy it must be for someone like Nikki McClure, an Olympia visual artist who designed a bunch of early K Records sleeves and released a handful of EPs on the label, to have a performance preserved on the same disc as all these icons. On the one hand, it's not like she sits around in awe of like Beat Happening in the same way a fan would—they were friends and part of the same community, and probably still are to this day. But on the other hand, I’m sure when she comes across a copy of this LP there’s sometimes a dazed moment when it seems like that young Nikki singing her funny little a cappella song must be someone else entirely, the record itself an object manifested from a dream. But the International Pop Underground Conventional was real, and in its way, it carries on to this day.

Also, with moving house, there has been the need to reorganise how I display stuff on my shelves. This will be my backdrop when on a call (once I have [again] unboxed my gaming PC).

I have lots to get through and no time to do it. I also have been encouraged not to (which is killing me) because they will need to do some demolition to fix "whatever is going on in the walls".

It's less that Yuzu was asking for donations at all, there's a lot of emulator projects like PCSX2 that take donations through GitHub's Sponsorship system, but I feel like Patreon is an inappropriate place to set up shop. Using such a public-facing website to collect funds and including telemetry in your emulator (something I've never seen another emulator do and I've used a lot of them) feel like two really "Well we're gonna get sued anyway!" narrow-minded decisions to make. The Switch is current gen. You could've given yourselves at least a bit of a chance in court
