as detailed as you'd like! at minimum, though, if you keep tables of 1) each show, 2) each of your songs, and 3) each song you've performed, you can slap together (something resembling) a relational database that will enable you to go full baseball statistics; sky's the limit. need to clean this up

I guess this is an opportune time to reveal that I'm a huge fucking nerd and visited several filming locations for this, one of the films of all time, not too long ago

field in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Minden, NV where the trio get ditched roadside

Hazen Market, where Corey and Jimmy disembark from the Hostess truck

The lonely road runaway Jimmy walks down in the opening scene of the movie; near Pyramid Lake. ngl y'all, his ass was NOT going to make it to california

there's more to come about the more to come but some of the more to come is that I'm making the least good song on the album much gooder

paragraph from neocities site: "speaking of its predecessors, "Don't Worry, You're Great!" celebrates 10 years this august; and you'd better believe I'm not letting that pass by uncelebrated. I fucking played "Bwark?" again this year. more to come."

by popular demand, limited quantities of CDs ("Familial Verses", "florence") will be available during tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday and likely Bandcamp Fridays thereafter 🎵

I hate selling CDs online!
well... moreso I hate having to pay attention to live inventory and having to fulfill orders on short notice. as a result, years ago I stopped selling CDs online and made them available exclusively at (or around) my live shows, which, regretfully, don't happen everywhere or all the time.

suffice it to say: it's harder to get a CD of mine than it should be, and I wanna fix that. but, for my own comfort, I'm not willing to have stock available all the time.

so! I've decided that I will stock limited quantities of my currently-in-print CDs ("Familial Verses" and "florence") on my Bandcamp during Bandcamp Friday hours*, starting this upcoming one -- May 1st (tomorrow!).

to be clear, I have no intention of presenting this as some sort of artificial-scarcity FOMO-leverage ploy. if this first try goes well, I will continue to stock on Bandcamp Fridays. missed this one? the CDs will be back next time -- predictably and consistently -- until my stock gets low enough to potentially affect availability at my live shows, which I can and will be transparent about.

and, for what it's worth, this may well inform me on whether or not I should consider bringing some releases of mine that never came to CD format ("Dither Beach", "Petriform" self-titled compilation, maybe even "...especially any of this") into the Realm of Discs™.

so if you've found yourself wanting for a CD of mine, I hope you will consider it this imminent Bandcamp Friday, or one after. thank you!

*at some point during the morning of May 1, Pacific time. I don't find a midnight release for limited quantities appropriate for the availability I want to facilitate here. if CDs sell out quickly, I will add more stock until I am no longer comfortable with the fulfillment obligation.

my partner and I were looking up whatever we could think of on seriesgraph and I got my ass blown off looking at what they have for life with louie. I remember liking it well enough as a kid but haven't seen it in like 20 years. was it really goated like this? are we sleeping on life with louie??

celebrating six years of "Dither Beach" and an update on what comes next. #chiptune listen + pwyw at petriform.bandcamp.com/album/dither... alternatively read the text of this post on tumblr because alt text couldn't fit it all: blog.petriform.com/post/8116553... thank you and stay tuned 🙂

(edited for character limit) six years ago today, I released an album that started with the lyric "can we go to the beach?" just in time for the world to unequivocally reply "absolutely not." "Dither Beach" is the most recent album in the pop-punk branch of my long-running chiptune canon, and it stands as the most up-to-date showcase of how I've evolved and pushed the boundaries of that particular segment of my sound and technique. it should come as no surprise that, after six years, I've had things cooking for Dither Beach's successor for quite some time. in fact, the concept has been fleshed out for over five years at least. as it happened, though, I took so many detours that I find myself far away from where I started. now, having deferred the successor to "Dither Beach" for so long, I can no longer revisit it from the same place. I am no longer as interested in the concept, and having widened my horizons so, no longer as motivated to iterate upon my pop-punk recipes. if I try to finish the album I started six years ago, I will fail. doing so is simply incompatible with where I stand today and where my present interests lie. so after much consideration, I am re-scoping the album to be a tight EP instead. I hope this isn't disappointing for those of you who have waited six years and counting for more of that sound, but I would rather release a kick-ass front-to-back EP than a half-assed LP that my heart isn't all the way in. in brighter news (and in classic petri fashion), I've been working on new tunes and concepts aside from all of this. as for the EP, I hope to have it for you this summer -- fingers crossed! please look forward to "the triple crown" soon, and thank you as always. -petri
