a burned CD in a translucent pink slim jewel case with a hot pink translucent mini-disc on top, the mini-disc has a cut label on the label section that has 'irony' written on it vertically, while the CD case has no cover and simply shows the disc inside that has 'irony' written on it

THE MINIDISC REVOLUTION IS UPON US

i have been obsessed with minidiscs for the past month. they're a dead format by sony that made optical discs tiny and put them in colorful floppy disk-like cartridges and the players fit in the palm of your hand and they're ADORABLE and FUTURISTIC and the BEST. you can learn more about them at the community-run minidisc wiki because i can't distill its history in just one post but it's very rich and interesting!

anyway my note for this mix over at illcocytus was "the centerpiece of this mix was lips by snsd and the percussion in it and then it morphed into this" so i hope that explains this mix well enough

hell yeah! i've heard MDs got lots of use at radio stations and similar like... internal uses i guess, not sure how to put it? but i've also heard like court rooms and offices and such got a ton of mileage out of them. it's such a shame the format never took off much besides in japan because they had so much potential! i love the recordable aspect and that we can make mixes with these sorta futuristic looking blank discs (the colors and designs go crazy i love it) but it's sad that the prerecorded label releases never caught on much at all because it could've been huge. ahhh it's sad, but i'm glad there's such a dedicated community now. it's awesome you've had experience with them!!!!!!!
