can someone explain to me how the untouchable five leaked? rick just randomly uploaded jfk_mix29.mp3 to his website or-

 

Rick's website had a section that was theoretically not publicly accessible, which he used as a server for file storage. Basically all the final cuts of songs he'd done work on, going back 5-ish years were uploaded there. There was a song player on the public-facing portion of his website which streamed songs from that server, so people just followed the URL from the files in the player and ended up on the "private" section of his website. There was no password protecting the server itself. He did eventually individually password protect some of the files there (all the Lana and Lykke Li tracks he'd uploaded), but the damage was already done, as people had been watching the site for months before he put the passwords on. He also only had "Black Beauty" posted for a few days before removing it, so he clearly knew people had access.

 

Someone eventually posted a link to the server publicly and all 5 songs were leaked, in short order.

 

There's also other random tidbits, like the fact that "I Don't Wanna Go" was under the heading "Black Leather Moonlight" in his files and the file itself was labeled "Tonight", which is where we learned about both of those alt titles for it. Tons of other artists' work was there too, completely free to download if you had access. No passwords on anything but Lana and Lykke Li files.

In the vast, fragmented landscape of internet oddities, a peculiar QR code has surfaced, capturing the curiosity of digital wanderers. When scanned, it leads users to a file titled "01_pussy.wav," a track shrouded in mystery. Yet, to their dismay, the file cannot be downloaded. It can only be streamed—experienced in real time, but never possessed. This paradox of access without ownership has turned the audio file into a modern myth, a ghostly artifact drifting through cyberspace with an untraceable origin and an uncertain fate.

 

The lore surrounding "01_pussy.wav" is as murky as the track itself. No one knows who first obtained it, nor how the QR code came into existence. Some claim it was the work of a rogue musician, a sound artist rejecting the commodification of music in the digital age. Others suggest it was leaked from an abandoned project, a forgotten piece of sonic ephemera that someone salvaged from obscurity. The anonymity of the file’s host only fuels the intrigue, with theories ranging from benevolent archivists to enigmatic tricksters intent on subverting the culture of digital possession.

 

What is known is that the track, once encountered, leaves an imprint on its listeners. Those who have heard it describe a spectral quality—melancholy yet entrancing, familiar yet unplaceable. It defies classification, existing somewhere between glitch, ambient, and a warped lo-fi aesthetic. Some swear they recognize snippets of sampled dialogue, ghostly voices buried beneath layers of distortion. Others argue that it changes slightly with each listen, as though it were sentient, adapting itself to its audience. The inability to download the track only amplifies its allure; it is fleeting, ephemeral, like a dream one struggles to recall upon waking.

Attempts to bypass the streaming restriction have been futile. Skilled coders and digital archivists have poured over the source, only to find themselves thwarted by an elegantly simple system of obfuscation. The QR code, it seems, is the only known gateway, an entrance to a one-way auditory experience that resists replication. In an era where everything is recorded, duplicated, and stored indefinitely, "01_pussy.wav" exists in defiance, a relic of a digital folklore that cannot be pinned down.

 

And so, the track remains—an enigma perpetuated by those who stumble upon it. A whispered legend among net dwellers. A fleeting glimpse into an audio ghost story that refuses to be claimed. Whether the generous anon who shared it was a true custodian of lost media or an unwitting participant in a larger game, no one can say. But as long as the QR code endures, so too does the legend of "01_pussy.wav."

wish i could like posts lmao

Think this is my first time hearing the title

 

It’s always exciting when you get a new record goin’. There’s this song I did with Paul Epworth, it’s called “Blue Morning”, and it’s inspired by The Doors. It’s more rock and upbeat than anything I’ve ever done. I’m really proud of it. Just yesterday I’ve found out that I’ll be performing on MTV awards (in September), and we’re planning to launch it there. So yeah, it’s exciting.
