We don't get street cred points nowadays for not watching TV

Just as well no one made that claim.

Speak for yourself. Might I mention that I get massive street cred galore through my incredibly contrary stance wrt the watching of the TV, eg. NOT.

Death Pact International- The Old Vietnams Dead

First ever release I've heard from DSIP. I loved it, bought it because the cover looked really awesome. I judged a book by its cover, sue me.
This thing opens with a great vocal sample of an interview with a veteran I believe? Same with the 2nd side of the tape. Whole thing is pretty lo fi but still has great stereo image. Constantly moving through rhythm to rhythm, which gives it an old industrial sound but its for sure PE feel from top to bottom. Some of this reminded me of Brume! Or at least the one tape I heard from Brume.
2nd half has crazy melodies in the right ear and left ear, still lots of room for electronic noise to sit on top of tracks. Perfect late night vietnam snack before bed.

I'm 20 years old, so I'd say for me personally, at this point everything feels like a distraction. Literally a couple of years ago I was in high-school, and at that time, interacting, creating and maintaining a passion for music entirely revolved around using my phone/computer. Spotify, bandcamp, soundcloud to listen to what I wanted to, instagram to find and follow new artists or bands or even promote my own, and use some sort of DAW to record.
It's not like I didn't have CDs or vinyls, nor did I think there was anything wrong with it, but that was like a sub-category of liking music for me at the time.
I think interacting on that basis is entirely a distraction now along with TV shows, video games, social media, etc. Interacting with everyting via screens distracts from any sort of real connection. It's too removed and too fast moving to actually have any bandwidth.
Yes, I can get distracted, literally, by going to other things that aren't my primary focus but then when I am interacting with my primary focus through these minature versions... how focused am I?
But getting physical media in the mail, putting in the player and listening is nothing at all what using spotify is like. I just have to be in the moment with it, and for me I'm trying to do that more and more.
Because for my generation, we all got instagram at like age 13 or earlier, and it's all been distraction street since. So going as far as trying to use all other means of getting to real life is useful for making noise because for me, noise is as cerebral as it gets.
And of course, I will still listen to albums on youtube, still listen on bandcamp, be on instagram, etc to get shows done or to want to see what's new noise or do research on noise/pe without having to find and spend lots money is great for me. But when things need to be locked in, needs to be as physical or focused as I can get in the circumstances.
Not only am I more in connection with why I make noise, but also what I want, and how I want it to be when I try to find distractions and destroy them.
Even DAW seemed distracting for me, or VST's, or too many pedals. Of course, not everyone is like that or needs to be but broader thing is, less distractions = better noise.

We don't get street cred points nowadays for not watching TV, times have changed, oldschool tv watching is for "old people" and we get our stream buffets (without anything really nutritious most of the time).

***WARZONE EPISODE 15 WILLIAM DAVENPORT TRANSMISSION***

William Davenport, Problemist Prophet of Playback, in this charged cassette communique, Dr. Hammer speaks with William-DIY documentarian, droning dissident, and tape-trading timekeeper behind "Dead Air" and "Unsound". Together they decode the Book of the Dead Formats, dig up the ghost grooves, and discuss the divine disobedience of underground media.

From the darkroom to the duplicator, Davenport delves into the madness of manufacturing, the spirituality of splicing, and the obsessive orbit of outsider art. Whether you're a basement burner or a Vril-seeking sound sorcerer, this episode will solder your soul to the reel!

Play Loud. Dub eternal. Join the War. PSYWAR LIFE ENGINE

***WARZONE EPISODE 16 ELDEN M. TRANSMISSION***

Noise As Sacred Weaponry

Dr. Hammer decends into the static depths with sonic provocateur Elden M., wielding corrupted frequencies like knives. Together they ignite a seance of circuitry, unmasking the hidden rites of Sonic Warfare with Allegory Chapel Ltd., Carbon 14, and Magikal Noise Liberation Front. This episode is a ritual of magnetic resurrection, a cassette Black Mass where the machines remember what the slaves forgot. Hear the Analog Apocalypse, burn the Archon's algorithm and return to the sacred hiss!

***Your Memory is the Battlefield. Tape is the weapon. Noise is the liturgy.***
