“It foregrounded 1968’s Piano Burning, setting an old piano alight to record its splitting wood and popping strings. Wrapping the microphone in asbestos – ‘those were innocent times!’”

Analyzing ten lesser-known NZ songs, George D Henderson joins the musical dots in surprising, literate, and entertaining ways.
Rare interview with NZ signalwave producer TV2 from @zensounds.bsky.social

Challenging to tell the story of a URL music scene, but the doco pulled it off. Liked the mix of conventional doco, staged surrealism, and flown-in imagery of old r/ & /mu/ chats, Tumblr feeds, Tinychat video... & some entertaining personalities. Hope this reaches a wide audience.

Just viewed "Nobody Here: The Story of Vaporwave" - What a great tribute to this amazing movement, fantastic i/v's, culture-jamming visuals, an ace soundtrack, and awesome live footage, incl. the first vpwv live concert, ICA in 2017. Congrats to @mypetflamingo.bsky.social and all involved 👏👏
Looking forward to seeing this!
I'm sure peeps will be coming out of the woodwork with challenges for earlier vaporwave live concerts — eg. this 2013 one ft. @disasteradio.bsky.social & myself:

Yeah, can relate! We only had a B&W television until about 1983… weird to later see full colour versions of classic TV
Please do. Love that digital hand lettering and TNR typeface.
Nice one ☝️ yes, I’m not sure the film made such a hard call on that as I’m representing haha! This is a film that could have infinite footnotes to qualifying references in web archives of chats, feeds, posts…

According to @audioculturenz.bsky.social R.E.M. used "Daddy's Highway" as pre-concert music at some point. Something that perhaps helps with the Bats soundalike is Mike Mills taking a rare lead vocal -

R.E.M.... but it could be The Bats

-The story of this formidable, inspiring band has been superbly captured and articulated. Langston is exactly the right person to have written this book. He has known the band and their coterie for over 40 years.-
