Welcome To The Hivemind Times!

Well hey there friends. I am writing this off of almost no sleep because my neighbor's car EXPLODED last night, but we’ll get to that later.

It’s superbowl week and no one cares! Gonna fill this puppy up with as much fun stuff as we can for you. I honestly can’t think about much besides my crib almost burning down so I’mma just hop into this piece.

Hope you enjoyed the final Bengal collab and the return of the color palette game. We have some really exciting stuff coming next week. How Did It Age is getting pushed because of the game but the movie next week is a biiiiig one. Enjoy!

CRONK’S UPDATE

Hey everyone,

Graydon has put me up to quite an interesting task this week. One of Graydon’s good buddies has found a 4-track cassette of his late uncle’s rock band from the ’80s, which I’m going to help digitize over the weekend. The thing about tapes is they last practically forever, so if you have a tape from the ’80s and a machine that matches the tracks and size of that tape, you can play it back with full fidelity.

Luckily, I have a Tascam 424 MKII cassette recorder that my girlfriend’s dad gifted me. It happens to be the same one Graydon’s buddy’s uncle used back in his heyday. I’ll check back in with you guys next week about the process of transferring, might even use some cool AI tools for noise reduction and track isolation.

GRAYDON’S NEIGHBOR’S CAR EXPLODED

So I am 5 minutes from finishing Bong Joon-Ho’s movie The Host when I hear the loudest BANG I’ve heard since Mike Breen in the 2016 finals. I run to my back porch (I’m on the second floor) and I am met with the familiar glow of flames and heat from a fireball. I live in an old house and the porches are made of old shit wood so I assume this bitch is about to go up like a match book.

Never have I been met with the actual feeling of grab what you can and leave. So naturally I grabbed my phone, roommate, the dog and then I turned the TV off for some reason. I sprint down the street and flag down the first car I saw. It was a cop. This brave moron approached the blaze with a fire extinguisher. Another explosion happens and he flees. The fire department arrives shortly after, hooks up to the hydrant and honestly puts it out just in time before the crib went up.

It was an insane evening.

Here are some pics.
