so, the most recent liner note files i have are from feb 2020, and the last journal update was from june, 2020. i was supposed to go back after and double check everything for consistency, then i got lost in the diet updates.
so, the first aleph-disc will only have liner notes for the releases that have notes completed for july 2013 to the end of december 2013. this is a flac disc, so there are no standalone journal entries and no vlogs and nothing else like that - it's just a literal combination of the first 14 downloads into one iso file, with a little html frontend.
is anybody going to give a fuck? don't people just stream everything? and i have to give you my simple response - which is that, yeah, i may stream some old favourites too (especially punk rock), but when i go looking for a new record by son lux or....i guess my list of interesting artists right now is fairly small.....but when i go looking for something that i expect to be detailed and well produced, i don't want to stream it. i don't even want to stream a screaming females record - i'd rather get it in flac and listen to it locally, on a stable system, through headphones.
that market is small, i'll grant you that.
but, listen to my music - it's not meant for taylor swift fans, and i'm not holding out for a collaboration with cardi b. i'm not going to get name dropped by beyonce.
so, i don't know how many people are going to care, but i know that i'm not getting anywhere trying to market forty minute epics to tiktok users. i have to hope somebody is interested in the idea of downloading 4.5 gb of flacs, and finds the idea more palatable than buying a dvd and having it shipped to them.
