Subforums for math rock, Animal Collective ripoffs, and general indie slop.

Now you've gone and bummed me out that it was possible for me to be taken seriously.

when I was playing lots of online chess during the pandemic, I discovered that there is a small watmm contingent on chess.com

we can all maybe migrate there? they do have a chat feature where you can chat with your opponent - I'd be happy to trash talk anyone as I destroy you with my rooks whilst also shooting the breeze about the latest skee mask EP and so forth, just a thought.

Wow-  fuck, man.  Hello, all.  I haven’t been here in ages, but I just came by to say goodbye.

I had a lot of fun here back in the day and made a lot of online friends and met up with some of you in life, as well.

Thank you all for being there for me back in the day, to make life better.

This shit reminds me of when the Planet Mu Phorum was shutdown (IIRC it was primarily because there was so much shit talking about Mary Anne Hobbs, and Mike P also wanted a more professional image for the label), so braindance.co.uk was made and all the regulars went there.  And then that died.

I didn’t even care when warpcomm died, but WATMM- man, that’s quite something.

Fucked up thing is that I always thought I’d come back here regularly, after finishing some IDM magnum opus, but then nearly 10 years flashed by like nothing, and I’m still trying to find the new sound.  -I actually did that in real life, as well, back in the day, where I didn’t go to family reunions and shit like that, because I was working on so many projects and thought, “I’ll see them when I’m done.”  —Turns out you wait too long, and people actually get old and also die.  

Gotta respect and love the now as much as possible, because it turns out there’s no way to ever go back.  I just hope my time away from here was worth it.  But I do know that when I hung out here regularly, it was definitely worth it.

To everyone I’ve bantered with here back in the day and had nonsensical blasts with, I’ve actually missed you all since I left.  

If you’re ever on reddit, I’m peepeeland there.  Chat with me anytime you want.

Not sure exactly what’s going on inside me, but- hearing that WATMM is gonna be done, makes me want to kick ass at life even more.  There will only ever be one WATMM, and I hope you all make the best out of your one life.

Thank you all, and also, thank you all.

p.s.  How da fuck did xltronic end up being the last survivor.  I suppose that’s the power of +260 pixels.  If electronic music forums had stocks, xltronic just went up big time.

This is not good. 

Hah @peace 7 I forgot you were in Tokyo. Next time I'm down there I'll hit you up.

@roasty lol I'm trying to PM you but it says you can't receive any messages.
