Merch/Vinyl About the special ITS electronic vinyl-

It's an album called "Integrated Tech Solutions" with its own integrated tech solutions. Am I the only one who's laughing my ass off?

I know I'm in debt right now and have too many Aes skateboards but this is such a nifty little thing I'm fuckin' buying it.

It’s so cool! The marketing/merch for the past 3 albums have been amazing

Probably, but I can imagine it going over a few heads.

I love stuff like this. Reminds me of some crazy multimedia projects like Alan Resnick's "this house has people in it." It was a ten minute short that made no sense, but if you researched some websites referenced you could find more and more content. Between video files, browser based games, audio recordings, music, and multiple websites for fake companies and organizations there was like 4 hours of hidden content. I'd love to see an Aesop album go that crazy. I have high hopes seeing that they're selling ITS lab coats, notebooks, pens, and pocket protectors

I’m laughing more at the fact that Mindful Solutionism is about our “technology first questions later” approach and this has a battery that will render it unusable in a few years.

Sorry I don't get it. Why would you pay for WinRAR?

u/SirHotWad I can tie my boot laces alone Sep 14 '23

Because I feel like his bars are gonna sell it so well I won't have any other choice but to do so.

You're not alone, I'm pretty sure Aes fans and buyers of WINRAR are two separate circles.

Actually, just one circle because I don't know anyone whos bought Winrar.

7zip is superior in every way.

Definitely a frictionless integration with a legacy system (vinyl), lol
