Hype Machine

in 2022, @zora became a significant supporter, further extending the viability of the service. grateful for their consistent participation! 🔵

since 2017, we've been nearly entirely funded by our supporters, a true honor hypem.com/support-us

we have been on the internet since April 27, 2005

@bbroad25 fernet diet coke

@hypem what’ll it be?

thanks for the @hypem shoutout @TaylorLorenz! it's pretty much why the app is still up - a gesture of defiance in the new internet

@wearestereofox seeing some other issues around crawling in particular, so need to patch a bit more

@hypem cool - does this mean our SC blog post should show up again? Because now we just see the bandcamp ones hypem.com/site/stereofox…

soundcloud made some api changes, we're looking into it. right now, the tracks hosted there are temporarily not playable

@wearestereofox i think related to this developers.soundcloud.com/blog/api-strea…, but possibly also oauth updates from some time ago

@hypem Managed to solve it? We have been having issues with their API too

I love this article about "iPod brain" because it breaks down how technology decisions created an almost insatiable desire for diversity & breadth. Most tech we've seen since has been about narrowing in our filter bubbles; iPods were for breaking them. dirt.fyi/article/2026/0…

Pigeons & Planes has a website (again) See you online at pigeonsandplanes.com

@constantinos88 android updates unlikely for a while unfortunately

@hypem android ahhh version: 1.38 🥀

hi

I was gonna write this but I'm so glad Tom did bc he smashed it and my piece would have been more like "overrated innit" stereogum.com/2486011/whatev…

i woke up one morning and i thought to myself, 'there's nothing stopping you from declaring the deftones album better than most everything that came out this year' vulture.com/article/best-a…

it's december! life is sometimes bleak! here are my 100 favourite songs, and a man's fumbling swerves about why he loves them so much.

I'm getting killed by a pretty good year (musically speaking). Wrote blurbs for Rosalía, Agriculture, Water From Your Eyes, Bad Bunny, Ryan Davis, and Shallowater: stereogum.com/2480469/the-50…

Stereogum relaunched today on the same platform used by Defector and other great subscription-based sites. We are excited to keep surviving and thriving as an independent music blog in the 2020s. @scottgum has a very informative post about all the changes: stereogum.com/2478838/stereo…

Just digging through old emails on a regular Wednesday morning
