[Weekly Recap] 23 April – 29 April
As some of you have no doubt heard, the original video of “リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー” has been taken off of YouTube by Sony Music Entertainment – which had over 42 million views by the time of its removal. Several tracks have also been removed from Beer on the Rug’s edition of the album, so if you’re looking for a full copy of the album then you’ll need to find it on the other full-album uploads on YouTube or download it through the numerous vaporwave drive uploads scattered around the Internet.
In happier news, Malachite Records has started up again after an extended hiatus. Accompanying the re-open is ten albums from International Debris. Additionally, the label is now accepting demos, which may be the sent to malachiterecords@gmail.com.
See below for other new music updates and a variety of site updates. My goal is to have several album articles up by Friday, on which I’m going down to Florida for a couple days to visit Disney World. I’ll be back Sunday night.
