Our Monthly/bi-weekly/quarterly/yearly podcast Expedition Sasquatch has just released a new episode! It’s Episode Number 13. We’ve been producing this show since early 2019, and releasing episodes since June of 2019. That’s an average of one episode every four months, although in reality it’s actually 4 episodes in 2019, no episodes in 2020, 3 episodes in 2021, and 6 episodes of 2022. We’re aiming to release an episode every two weeks for the forseeable future. Check it out:

If there are two things I’m known for, probably, it’s talking about independent media production and media archival. My story today comes from the confluence of both. The oldest continually seeded torrent just turned 20 years old, and it is a matrix fan film. Watch:

The short version: Corporate sponsored video sharing platforms are always going to disappoint you, so try something else. Today, the something else that I’m offering is Community Media Video, this is paid peertube hosting with 10GB for storage for $15/year. What follows: a discussion of the way youtube is bad, and will likely continue to get worse.

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you probably already know that I run a record label. If you haven’t, now you know I run a record label. It’s called Analog Revolution, and we do the bulk of our sales through our website (and our cassette subcription platform), but we have also been, for the last ten years, big fans of and users of Bandcamp. It was recently announced that Bandcamp was being sold (again) and this time, they’re laying off half the staff. This is almost certainly in response to Bandcamp’s efforts to unionize (see the bandcamp union’s response to the layoffs on instagram) and it leaves folks like me in a curious position. So, let’s talk about the future of music distribution in a world where the future of bandcamp is uncertain.

Hey Folks! It’s been a long time (Years!) without consistent updates coming from my corner of the north GA mountains. There are lots of reasons for that, and most of them come down to time commitments and my dayjob, but I’ve got some news: As of earlier this week, I’m not working a day job. I still run Analog Revolution Records, Ellijay Coffeehouse, GA Mountain Coffee Roasting, Mountain Town Toys, Mountain Town Antiques, New Ellijay Television, the Ellijay Makerspace, Mountain Town Radio, Mountain Town Technology, the podcasts Jupiter’s Ghost and Expedition Sasquatch, and I’m working to build the infrastructure and tooling for our Community Media Network, among a few other things, but I’m not giving 40 hours of my life to a company that can’t do me the basic dignity of speaking to me honestly and respectfully anymore, and that’s liberating. So, what am I going to do instead?
