Just because we believe in Starfleet's ideals and values doesn't mean we're serious and professional. There's a reason we ended up at Starbase 80.

In celebration of this fun development, we've decided to extend the 80s kids pre-sale (which was scheduled to end Friday, March 14th) through the weekend.

So hop on over to our store and pre-order your copy of:
• the limited-edition vinyl LP
• the limited-edition cassette + walkman combo (SUCH a popular pre-sale item!)
• the CD
• one or more of the really frickin' cute tees we have available.

Call me a big huge nerd, but I love how-it’s-made videos. 🤓 And I especially love videos showing vinyl records being pressed. And I especially, especially love a video showing our new 80s kids album being pressed! Eeeeeee!

We just got this video from Waxwork Records, where earlier this week that Pac-Man splatter design that we dreamed up came to life. Can you even believe how cool this is??

I already know I’m the only person paying attention this detail, but… this #Remix to the traditional #Severance theme song at the end of 2.9…. is kind of jamming.

These Portishead drums are slappin. Solid and deep cello bass line with the treble string harmony on top. Wow. I wasn’t ready to enjoy it *this* much. Turn this sht the FK UP.

Now I have to go look up the #music editor. lol.

i want to digitize some old #analog cassette tapes with my m1 macbook pro. I tried plugging the cassette player's aux cable into the laptop's headphone jack, but it wont detect the signal.

i don't know much about #mac or #audio #music recording. is there anyone out there who can explain what i'm doing wrong or point me to the adapter I need? : preferably not amazon
thanks in advance!

Mahmoud Ahmed is a national icon of Ethiopia, a musician who rose to prominence during the time of Haile Selassie, and whose songs are known by every generation, though he hasn’t released a new track in decades. Now, he’s retiring, and @thecontinent spoke to him days before his final concert in Addis Ababa. Here’s the interview — writer Maya Misikir suggests listening to it accompanied by Ahmed’s most famous track, “Tizita,” (sometimes known as “Tezeta”) which is a song about nostalgia.

“Poppy” in the way it grabs you because it’s instantly catchy, not because it’s formulaic but because it’s fresh. Lodges in your head because of new things, not because you’ve heard it repeatedly. A harmony you wouldn’t have thought would work, but once heard you can’t imagine the song without it. That part where the tambourine or the double-tracked vox comes in that you have to keep replaying because it’s so genius. The organic (im)perfection that a human made. That’s the #pop #music I love.

It's Friday! You made it and deserve the finest 80s novelty song about Africa. No, not "Africa" by Toto. Not "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid. No, not "Walk Like An Egyptian" by the Bangles (sheesh, why are there so many of these?).

No, I'm talking about "Camel by Camel" by Sandy Marton! (A song that's developed its own little cottage remix niche on TikTok) m.youtube.com/watch?v=gfxjeZaY

EDIT: Learned from my high schooler about WHY it's popular. 😳
