bitchy note to the censors

I made a tape a night or two ago while I was going to bed, and FB actually banned it for breaching Community Standards due to the heavy breathing! 🧠 What's next: banning shirtless photos of dudes? 👎 -

I thought that was the most ridiculous thing ever: it's just breathing -- whether people interpret 'sex' onto that is really their brains. ASMR is apparently how other people interpret the tapes. I guess.. I'm soft-spoken, though I do like swearing on the tape. - I speak openly, but my cycle is very appropriate for all ages. For those who know my catalogue: Terry Shore liked the song cycle, and he's a broadcaster who likes clean records. I haven't made an album of the cycle tapes, yet; it'd need some mastering, but I'm not sure where the raw files are. I miss my bro's sound mastering skills; that's what makes his pop tracks stand out more than mine. Btws Swallow Song is quite fun rhythmically -- it's mostly 7/8 with some 6/8. Evie worked out the counts. My twin and I loved the Andy Irvine records, though I wrote Portrait before I'd heard those.
