learned about the Infinity Music Player fka Infinity Module Player a couple days ago, which is an internet radio station/IRC client/a bunch of other applications in a burlap sack being developed for the amiga as a labor of love, and it's incredibly endearing

among other things, unlike most chip music radio stations which only play certified bangers, its source for music to play appears to be some extremely un-curated public module1 database. tracks I've gotten in the past 10 minutes include:

  • a song that was captioned "my first module" and was a very bad cover of a classical piece;
  • a song with vocal samples in, I think, swedish, about why you should buy an amiga instead of a PC;
  • a new age pastiche called "nuwage" which, inexplicably, samples that song about why amiga is better than PC, and whose author says "and just for the rec- I hate the new age it's anti-family anti-God anti-America";
  • late-breaking edit: a module by an anonymous tracker that is just an accurate recreation of the hook to "jump around" by house of pain

incredibly weird slice through a bygone zeitgeist


  1. module files are the format amiga chip music is distributed in

edit: someone MP3ed this mod and put it on youtube and I'm literally the first person to ever view the youtube video, which makes this criminally slept-on

it's extremely silly

the guy who tracked it was apparently the president of the largest american demoscene group in the mid-'90s? and this was one of his earliest works, too. goes to show you "oh we don't talk about politics" is an enduring internet tradition

there was some internet radio that played a large database of mods and the like, with different "djs" during different hours

basic stuff like "highest/most rated", "classics", but also some hours of "lowest rated" which happened to also be prime time in the us

the highlights of that hour were things like "the star wars theme but with farts instead of instruments" and the like
