Thanks for expanding my musical and social horizons, Weird Al and #wendycarlos. (And thanks for reminding me of this album, @baphometadata)

I remember talking excitedly about the album and someone mentioned Switched On Bach and Walter Carlos.

I was like "Who?"

So got trans education in early, too.

The way it was presented, it was acceptable to me at the time, even though I was churchy af. I think being 8 helped.

Anyways, sitting here listening to it again and looking at the cover, I mean, however much I joke, there's a lot of influential shit going on here, at least, for an 8 year old in the late 80s.

This was probably some of my first conscious exposure to electronic music.

BTW the whole album is up on @internetarchive, so you don't even need a streaming service:

I got the Weird Al/Wendy Carlos Peter and the Wolf cassette tape when I was 8, right when it came out. I was a huge Weird Al fan.

Seeing him live was my first concert that wasn't something churchy like Carmen or DC Talk.

Before @baphometadata brought it up I hadn't thought about this album in decades.

Wendy Carlos:

- Trans Pioneer
- Synth Pioneer
- Weird Al Collaboration Pioneer
- Furry Pioneer

Or, to restate: Is Rez Infinite Art?

We'll find out, and also get Rez Infinite working with the Rez Trancevibrator!

Reaction to "genderfuck trash animal joke" on:

Twitter: "This is Good Content"

Mastodon: "IT LITERALLY ME"

Facebook: "Why don't those kids get jobs and houses instead of their avocado gender toast and what is a trash animal is that another name for obamacare. LOL!"

[Research] line taken from https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/02/06/health/teens-gender-nonconforming-study-trnd/index.html

Making the same joke on Twitter and Mastodon and switching out the service names is the "band yelling whatever town name they're currently touring in" of social media.

"[research] found that almost 3% of Minnesota teens did not identify with traditional gender labels such as "boy" or "girl.""

Meanwhile, on mastodon, 218% of teens identify as

*checks earpiece*

genderfuck trash animals.

The Good Place writers are using mastodon.

The far more interesting part is that I found out about this on an extremely cis het forum, which just brings up all sorts of interesting interaction questions.

Too bad I'm here for the jokes.
