Of all the things to come from the Aphex facebook group this is one I can get behind.

Kanye would just try to steal it and claim it was his day 'cause he's more of a true artist.

Signed this earlier for a laff when it was on 8 signatures, and now it's on 406.

Jesus christ haha

I reckon 409 should be enough to convince all world governments to set this up.

I came here to post the exact same sentiment. But I'm serious

Wut? I don't see nout wrong with Richard and Warp getting more monies. It obviously wouldn't affect his music either. He's always made the music HE wants to make. If he was writing/producing to meet expectations, he wouldn't have dropped an album like Drukqs after Windowlicker.

Ahhhh mmmm. Dear Valleyinaire I don't want National Whatever Aphex Day. Ever.

Just call me old fashioned but trust me on this mate.

I wasn't specifically referring to National Aphex Day (we all know that's never gonna happen) but the general idea of Aphex rapidly gaining mainstream popularity. If the next album happens to spawn a highly successful single, or if the Glee lot decide they want to cover Throatie thus bringing Richard into the limelight, it's only going to be a positive thing.

You've got to remember that he was doing stuff like Drukqs, Analord series and The Tuss AFTER his peak of commercial success, so it clearly didn't affect his music in a bad way.
