Herr Irrtum! đ

I dunno, somehow this doesn't make me happy.
There is another alternative to corporate owned Bandcamp now. Not that Bandcamp is bad or something, but yes, corporate owned. Musicians releasing on Bandcamp depend on decisions by the owner. Rules could be changed by tomorrow.
So that's why we have now at least @[email protected] and bandwagon.fm . Both born and operating from a free open source community spirit.
Good.
Now there comes - new!âŚ
subvert.fm
They are a CoOp - means community drive by definition. Not bad, sure.
But I'm not too happy anymore. Because WHY?
As a musician I have to make through 4 different complex release processes now:
1. Bandcamp (of course - this is, where people are discovered. Important thing for most musicians)
2. Mirlo
3. Bandwagon
4. subvert
2-4 forcing me through a ridiculous user unfriendly Paypal alternative: Stripe.
Personally I have no idea at least for Mirlo how to setup Stripe in a way, people could pay per Album or per Title. In Bandwagon I didn't even try.
Now Subvert even advertises Stripe as a good feature, as it's not Paypal. But Stripe is US based as well. They have no problem to cut your money flow just for rumors of you being anti fascist (the most human and democratic stance) or someone claims you take money for doing naughty things (also human behavior in the history of mankind).
This happened already.
Good luck contacting their hotline in such a case.
While saying all this I'm well aware: Anything not Paypal should be preferred. But there aren't much alternatives, and the one (one! besides Crypto) we've got isn't necessarily and objectively better.
But the main problem I see:
We devide attention to musicians this way!
Every new service takes away users and supporters from the others.
And music is cluttered all over the place even more. Good luck finding that particular piece of music that could really change your life when it's on Mirlo only.
Even more sad, when someone releases on his:her:their Faircamp only. How to find that when you don't know about the artist in the first place.
Personally I've given up here as a "semi professional consument". I need around 40h to prepare my radio show of 1 hour. I can't check #Mirlo, #Bandwagon, #Subvert, and the #Faircamp scene extra - on top of checking #Bandcamp. A lot of bands, let alone consumers don't even know about Bandcamp! And that is by far the most agreed upon service for indie and underground artists. Then there is also Soundcloud (which I hate) - lots of trap/hip-hop stuff is exclusively there.
If I read here in the Fediverse (my only social network) about new releases, best already embedded in your post - I'll listen.
Don't get me wrong. I really wish for a community driven Bandcamp alternative. But I hate the clutter resulting from so many upcoming players in the field.
Which all can't be avoided - I see that too. Is this whole post worthless then? Maybe. Maybe not. I have no solution. I'm just thinking loud. -
Did you ever happen to sit on a table richly set with various yummy pieces of food but didn't know what to pick?
I'll set up this table in a musical way for ya all in

and guide you through the picking process ;)

A German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music. Don't worry about the #GermanLanguage aspect - this is about #music!
So what yummy music pieces are there? Something from...
- #neojazz
- #Bonkwave (or, well, maybe not?)

I will discuss various topics like the mysterious musical vibe place which exists independent of time + space. Or the danger of falling victim to a lust killer and suddenly die â especially in spring đş .
Besides, there will be lots of #CreativeCommons content, cuz music wants 2b free. Lots of tracks played aren't on #Spotify - yes, this is not a music industry friendly place. And most important: I've got the cutest #FediArtists there are, if I may say that - like @[email protected] , @[email protected] or @[email protected] (under construction at da mo).
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here. Having questions? I'll gladly answer. Just ask. CU all on Saturday! :)

On top I will pronounce words wrong at an embarrassing amount, & play stuff that isn't available at #Spotify, which simply shows how much this service sucks.
Besides unusual rhythmic structures there will be examples of microtonal music (explained even!) â if you followed the music news the last weeks you may already know which project will be featured.
Featured are #FediverseMusicians as well, like @[email protected] or @[email protected] .
But a very special one among those #fediartists will be @[email protected].
This is probably your ONLY chance to have a listen to one piece of his offline album "Strategies against Algorithms" if you don't already own it. It will only be played during the aired show, it won't be contained within the archive version! You know: That's what "offline" is all about.

#musicRecommendations -
HĂśre gerade.
Ab Freitag Mittag wird der (ausgezeichnete) Musiksender #ByteFM in Berlin auf #UKW senden (88.4 MHz glaub ich), während "mein" Sender Alex Berlin, das Berliner #Bßrgerradio (neben vielen anderen Bßrgerradios) auf #DAB+ verbannt wird.
ByteFM zahlen sogar dafĂźr - u.a. von meinem Supportbeitrag - gerne.
Wird also gar nicht mal so viel sein (!).Inhaltlich sicherlich nicht der schlechteste "Tausch" (gibt keinen echten Zusammenhang), aber demokratiepolitisch m.E. ein absolutes Desaster.
Die BĂźrger stĂśren nur, weg mit denen aus dem UKW Spektrum.
Und was ist eigentlich mit dieser "UKW wird abgeschaltet, DAB+ fĂźr alle"-Offensive? Das war doch fĂźr ??2024?? gedacht, oder? Was ist jetzt damit?Ey, ich komme mir SOWAS von verarscht vor.

Pssst: Interested in good stories?
Look no further (also because this is more like a full blown blog article than a short announcement)...
as there is:
RADIO IRRTUM! Special: Spoken Words in Music
(on air from Berlin)
âââ This is the English language announcement âââ
Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/12/20, 8:00pm UTC+1, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
Last time on FM air waves, as civic stations in Germany are banned from using "UKW" starting 2026. Because everyone has nice sustainable DAB+ radio receivers nowadays. Right? RIGHT??
#Radio Irrtum! usually is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's all about the #music!
But this time it's different! It will be a Special. About Spoken Words in music. That is, because I think Xmas - among other things - should also be about listening. To each other. To stories. Or like in this case to stories told within a musical construct.
While doing my research for this, something became quite apparent: #SpokenWords in music, beside it's powerful materializations in various genres, doesn't seem to be much of a topic in music science or music journalism â despite the lasting emotional impact that all the better pieces of Spoken Words music are able to inflict.
I.e. I couldn't find a simple historical timeline here. What are the roots? I have only one hour, so I cannot provide any deep dive, just a simplified overview. The time line of this show will range from 1966 until 2025, spoken words, 40% in German language, 60% English language.
Even if you d don't speek German: This combination of words and music will give you a sense about what's going on. This may be the only "genre" in music that will carry the emotions of the words over into your soul.
Covering music styles like
- #WordJazz from 1966
- #GermanRap from 2025
- UK #RetroAcid from the 2010ths
- #ExperimentalPop from the 80s + 90s
- 80s #IndustrialMusic
- #EastGerman Cassette-Underground
- UK Trash #ElektroPunk from the 2010ths
- German Experimental #EasyListening from the 2000s
Some of this couldn't be found on Spotify, despite being all iconic tracks. And most of those tracks happen to be my absolute all time favorits btw.
Consider this a little acoustic Xmas gift :)
If at least a bit interested in kewl unusual #music, tune in! đť
Got questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask here!

Those "Yeah, #A1200 remake incoming" reviews in renowned tech magazines - all mention a good collection of games that will be included and then mentioning the Turrican Trilogy, Ruff 'n' Tumble or Defender of the Crown. I'm talking about well known tech portals here (German Language: Heise, Golem, Der Standard; international: Toms Hardware) and of course various gaming portals.
Yet, besides the "expertise" one would expect, no one mentions that those are native Amiga 500 (or A1000 with a RAM upgrade... let's say OCS/ECS systems) games. No A1200 needed, no special features of the 7 years younger (!) machine is touched. Yes they run totally well at the younger hardware; yes - those are good or good looking or both of it games - but no A1200 games.
And honestly, there aren't much A1200 "killer" games out there that stood the test of time.
Still. It's like selling a Gameboy Advance Remake and bundling this with Original Gameboy Games with 4 shades of yellowish green like Tetris or the original Pokemon Blue.
The GBA can do so much more! But the reviews would go like: Cool games like Tetris and Pokemon Blue are part of the bundle! Yeah!!
I seriously wonder, who will buy this. People who really and desperately want to play Amiga games have an emulator on their laptop (or hacked game console or PC or raspberry or China portable), an FPGA based system (MISTer) or the original hardware - the best option of all.
If the remake would be FPGA based, that would be interesting, but it isn't. Why the hell would I buy this thing then, that looks like an A1200 but isn't, while I can have it's functionality at any electrified potato?
And less fiddly, when it comes to side loading other games?
Sure, people will buy it anyway, but seriously - their reasoning (besides being not firm with computer stuff - but what Amiga freak is?!) is very beyond me.

"Der endgßltige Abschluà des ErdgasrÜhrengeschäftes!"
Seit 1989 interessiere ich mich fĂźr die Band. Nirgends was gefunden fĂźr lange lange Zeit.
Jetzt hab ich zugeschlagen!!Der schwarze Kanal
aus Hamburg hat dieses Album 1988 rausgebracht. 2 Jahre später werden die beiden Mitglieder Andre Rattay und Eike Bohlken zusammen mit Jochen Distelmeyer die Band #Blumfeld grßnden. Wusste ich auch lange nicht.
Aber der schwarze Kanal klang ganz anders. Irgendwie dunkel golden in der Grundstimmung - ist schwer, das anders zu beschreiben ;) GroĂartige Musik, wie geschaffen fĂźr den kommenden Herbst! -
Did you at my one point wonder, why in 1982 suddenly German songs like Trio's "Da Da Da" or Nenas "99 Luftballons" entered the international charts and - at least Trio - where slightly unusual?
From what scene did they emerge from?!
You may find out during the upcoming
RADIO IRRTUM! Special. About the NDW that wasn't
(on air from Berlin)
Deutsch Version of this announcement here:
- https://mastodon.de/@herr_irrtum/115113645412161528
Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/08/30, 8:00pm UTC+2, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
Why? What is this?
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language (usually) #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that German language - it's about the music!
Well about the latter⌠not this time! Neither will I talk in German the whole time but mostly in English! Because this matter is too important for the World to know (I think). Nor is this new music. But music mostly from 1979-1981, the small time frame before the "real" Neue Deutsche Welle ("NDW") broke all over, the thing the music industry transformed it into (a cash cow), something completely different compared to what its pioneers intended.
This is about those pioneers. Sick of art, or progressive rock, and punk they wanted to do something completely off limits, something completely new, something "Anti music" that still somehow was "music". Just so different. A one in a thousand years moment where people tried to get on a different track. A moment that didn't come back since.
This radio special can only cover the surface of that super diverse scene; a scene agreeing on one thing only: About not doing rock music.
Which will make this special issue maybe the most complicated, hard to get into Radio Irrtum! show ever. But if you make it, you will be rewarded, yes rewarded, with most unusual concepts in music, with humor in music (yes! - not just in text) and all in all something, you may carry with you for your whole life. If you are open to it. I mean it. I certainly did.
So: Can you stand it? Are you up to the task?
One more thing: I've prerecorded this not knowing, that Alfred Hilsberg (Zickzack Label) would leave this planet forever some days later. This show is dedicated to him. Thanks Alfred, for the sonic light you carried.
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided Iâm home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Habt Ihr Euch schon mal gefragt, warum 1982 plĂśtzlich deutsche Songs wie Trios âDa Da Daâ oder Nenas â99 Luftballonsâ fett in die internationalen Charts einstiegen obwohl sie â zumindest im Fall von Trio â eher ungewĂśhnlich waren?
Welcher Bewegung sind die eigentlich entsprungen?!
Das erfahrt ihr im kommenden
RADIO IRRTUM! Spezial. Ăber die NDW, die es nie geben sollte
Englische Version dieser AnkĂźndigung hier:
Die nächste Ausgabe von #RadioIrrtum! läuft diesen Samstag, den 30.08.2025, um 20:00 Uhr ßber Alex Berlin auf 91 MHz / DAB+ K7D in #Berlin und weltweit unter https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
Warum? Was ist das?
#RadioIrrtum! ist eine #Radiosendung, die die klanglichen Weiten des #Undergrounds erkundet. Die ausgestrahlten Wellen lenken Eure Aufmerksamkeit auf neue, ungehĂśrte #Musik (normaler Weise), und decken dabei ein unglaublich groĂes Spektrum an Genres ab.
Dieses Mal ausnahmsweise in groĂen Teilen in (einfacher!) englischer Sprache â damit die ganze Welt davon erfahren kann. Es geht natĂźrlich diesmal nicht um neue Musik. Sondern um Musik hauptsächlich aus den Jahren 1979â1981, dieser kurzen wilden Zeitspanne, bevor die âechteâ Neue Deutsche Welle (âNDWâ) Ăźberall durchbrach. Also, das, wozu die Musikindustrie sie machte (ein gewinnorientiertes kommerzielles Etwas) â nämlich zu etwas ganz Anderem als das, was ihre Pioniere beabsichtigten.
Und genau um diese Pioniere soll es gehen. Sie hatten genug von Kunst, Progressive Rock und Punk und wollten etwas vĂśllig AuĂergewĂśhnliches machen, etwas vĂśllig Neues: âAnti-Musikâ, die trotzdem irgendwie âMusikâ war. Ein Moment, den es nur einmal in tausend Jahren gibt, in dem die Leute versuchten, einen anderen Weg einzuschlagen. Ein Moment, der seitdem nicht wiederkehrte.
Dieses Radiospezial kann nur einen Teil dieser extrem vielfältigen Szene abdecken; einer Szene, die sich nur in einem einig ist: Unter keinen Umständen Rockmusik zu machen.
Damit ist diese Sonderausgabe vielleicht die komplizierteste und am schwersten zugängliche Radio-Irrtum!-Sendung aller Zeiten. Aber wenn ihr Euch traut, werdet ihr belohnt mit hĂśchst ungewĂśhnlichen Konzepten in der Musik, mit Humor in der Musik (ja! â nicht nur im Text) und insgesamt etwas, das euch vielleicht ein Leben lang begleiten kann. Wenn ihr dafĂźr offen seid. Bei mir ist das jedenfalls so.
Also: KĂśnnt ihr das aushalten? Seid ihr der Aufgabe gewachsen?
Playlist und Manuskript später hier drunter (vorausgesetzt, ich bin zu Hause, sonst kommt es erst ßbermorgen). Und falls ihr Fragen habt? Ich antworte gerne! Stellt sie einfach!
Eins noch. Ich habe die Sendung aufgenommen, ohne zu wissen, dass wenige Tage später Alfred Hilsberg (Zickzack Label) diesen Planeten fßr immer verlassen wßrde. Diese Sendung sei ihm gewidmet. Danke, Alfred, dass Du uns all diese neuen klingenden Wege aufgezeigt hast!
Bis Samstag dann! :)

Youtube still helps copyright abusers massively.
No, not the ones who upload like 5s song fragments or even NO SONG AT ALL, but those who claim "DMCA TAKEDOWN!" for certain songs even if there is no music AT ALL in that video.
Yes, no music at all. Let that sink in.
As a video uploader you have no chance to counter the claim but as claiming party, you do not have to prove anything! Just say "copyright infringement" and boom - all the money that was made with that poor uploader's video goes to you instead.
It is a scandal, seriously. And this bXllshXt is known for AGES. And no one cares. One more reason to go away from YT - but easier said then done, if you wanna make a living from your videos. Like Music Mongoose, an ex BBC music journalist, an excellent one btw.
He explains it in detail:

Excellent, I mean it, excellent brand new Amiga AGA 64K Intro

Invidious Code: BplaVdGh3Lo
It's especially impressive, considering that code, gfx AND music are done by a single person: Ham. And I especially like music and art style here.

Gesetz fĂźr EU-weite #Produkthaftung: Hersteller von Hard- und Software haften fĂźr Fehler
So die Schlagzeile.
Hmmm... Wie lange also noch, bis #Microsoft pleite ist?Ich meine, so ein Gesetz muss ja praktisch anwendbar sein. JĂźngst habe ich gelesen, sie (Microsoft) teilen das aktuelle fehlerhafte Win11 Update wider besseren Wissens weiter aus.
Ich sehe da eine Goldgrube!!Dass ich das noch erlebe... !

#C64 #rĂŠtrogaming #raycasting #trsi #demoscene
TRSI (no less) did the most insane thing ever done in computer history.
Releasing a good looking, well playable #Wolfenstein 3D clone on the VANILLA C64 homecomputer from 1982.
This makes games people thought to be amazing like Quake, Half Life 2, the Metro games and what not just look silly from a technical point of view.Computer #programming probably cannot get more optimized, more insane, more better than this. Ever again.
Because the control panels of your washing machine or your kitchen stove are pretty sure about magnitudes faster and more capable for this than a bloody 8bit C64 with its 0.98 MHz [PAL] clock.. -
Good morning y'all! đ
How about some #tapeHiss infected 80s dusty VHS-style beats?
Today I've learned (thanks to my Bandcamp stream) Yuni Wa delivers all that - on his latest album "Hyperdrive".
