My So-Called Life (Venetian Snares album)
My So-Called Life is an IDM album by Venetian Snares. It is a collection of tracks each made in a matter of days, which Funk considers more of "a collection of short stories than a novel... diary entries."[1] It was the first release on Funk's new record label, Timesig, but was distributed through Planet Mu.[2] The cover artwork entitled "Második Galamb" was painted by Christopher Umana.[3]

gollark: <@651869752012046347> Yes, technology was a mistake. I'm very unhappy that we have much higher life expectancy, quality of life, have reliable clean water and food, can communicate with people remotely really easily, and have much better entertainment than before the industrial era.
gollark: SQLite is a database, just an embedded one.
gollark: I'm going to look into making Node.js use multiple *processes*, and putting SQLite in WAL mode so that it can do multiple reads at once.
