i decided that the alluthus.com site should focus on the alluthus project solely instead of both it and my personal stuff under my real name
i think the best part of this is that the website has an actual font that loads on all devices lmfao

wow, its all coming together slowly
2025-10-22T00:31:45.187Z
new mixes of "Urban Groove" are out! you are prob asking "why a new mix if there is a 2023 version?" well, that mix is actually ass lmfao, def clips more than the original. generally with new mixes, we've been making new releases (2023, 2024, 2025, etc. mix for example), but on this new mix, the the audio files on the existing "Urban Groove" release were replaced instead. the new mix of "Urban Groove" is also present on the LIFE soundtrack and Greatest "Hits" - Vol. 1.
You can stream the single version of "Urban Groove" here: https://found.ee/urban-groove
The demo versions on the single release also received updated mixes as well

a lot of picture hunting to make this discography list lol
2025-10-26T02:41:14.152Z
test out the new alluthus webpage at https://dev.alluthus.com/
2025-10-28T00:43:39.904Z
thank you for the feedback on the new alluthus website. it'll probably launch sometime at the end of this year or early next year. It still needs a lot of polishing and improvements, but I figured sharing this 'dev' version would allow me to get some insight on how the site displays on different web browsers and mobile devices
2025-10-28T00:45:01.078Z
The discography section could definitely use some lower-res photos since loading 1000x1000px png photos takes forever lol. my thought was to make some sort of script for older discography to load as in as you scroll down, but honestly i lack the understanding and knowledge to do such a thing
especially since this page will get real long in the future if there are more releases
2025-10-28T00:47:58.460Z
Sophie and Eiim both provided some input on the main homepage images since it does not transition smoothly on certain browsers (it was a lazy effort with keyframe cross-fading) and the images do be kinda large lol
2025-10-28T00:49:18.400Z
But do feel free to let me know of any other improvements you think it may need or modifications. i have not made a website out of scratch like this in such a long time, so i am re-learning a lot of things but also learning other things i had no idea could be done, like with that video clip on the homepage...i thought making that was pretty cool
2025-10-28T00:51:56.179Z
The discography page in general could use a fixin, given that the images are flex-wrapped and you get awkward white space with less than 3 images per row

2025-10-28T00:53:26.461Z

so yea, def a lot more to learn here lol this has been something i've been wanting to do for so long and finally got the motivation to do
2025-11-03T04:43:23.289Z
500+ monthly listeners on Pandora since the release of the single "DANCE DAMN IT / ANOTHER DAY". I think that is the most I've ever had...thank you to all the listeners tuning in on the track, even if by accident lol.

STiBaRC Records will be loaded after this
(~$1 most likely)
I think last year i averaged about 700 streams on Spotify alone (though save for a Christmas EP, there was no new content released) so yippie
2025-11-08T05:09:49.267Z
i would like to personally thank eiim and chainswordcs for pointing out the abnormally large svgs for the STiBaRC Branding assets repo. lol it is so embarrassing, it got a good laugh out of me
2025-11-08T05:10:57.745Z
i am lazy, so when i make new svgs on inkscape, i just open whatever i made last and make a new copy of the svg...but it saves all the metadata from the previous versions of the svg like images used for pattern fills for example!
those svg files specifically had images that were 5-8 years old lmfao
2025-11-08T05:12:40.344Z
i know its not much of an issue to have those there, save for the large ass file sizes, but i went ahead and corrected that. i never realized how large those svg files were because well...i just save them to onedrive rather than directly on my PC

hello thinkblog, happy december!
2025-12-02T00:54:41.954Z
today i got emails setup for my web domain, yay. idk why it took me forever to figure that out...while its not as fancy as josh's own little personal email server or whatever via snappymail, its something at least. i've had an icloud subscription for years for the cloud storage, and recently discovered there are custom domain email settings
quite the easy setup too especially for someone like me with the lack of skills on managing a web domain..
kid you not, when alluthus.com launched, i had josh set it all up on google domains bc i did not know how to
2025-12-02T00:58:46.634Z
but there's been some growth for me at least... alluthus.com and josephmadril.com are under cloudflare now. learned my lesson switching the alluthus.com domain from squarespace (since google domains went away) to wordpress...big mistake there lol
a lot cheaper too !

Somehow, Memory Lane entered an Apple Music chart!
idk what that means, or what chart it even is for that matter
but thank you nonetheless!

"Golden Days" was the most streamed song in my discography this year on Apple Music. 443 minutes is quite the jump from last year (255).
2025-12-03T01:38:05.577Z
and it seems the chart entry was top 25: London!
2025-12-03T01:40:39.646Z
(i wonder if it was a bug or mistake)
2025-12-03T18:34:43.964Z

Spotify wrapped is here!!
Thanks for tuning in on Spotify
2025-12-05T14:26:57.476Z
