Isn’t it lovely that we discover so many obscure names from the past: Alex Russell, Raymond Scott, Jack Ellitt, Delia Derbyshire… I can easily picture someone releasing all these forgotten gems in a variety of formats accompanied by emotional statements that could make one burst into tears: “What a genius he/she was! Such talent! So ahead of his/her time!” Of course, it’s so much more convenient to release music by a dead musician: no negative feedback, fans and music lovers are exalted, and all the sales revenue goes to the vendor. This might as well be the fate of all good noncommercial music: to eventually become nothing more than some shrewd third-party entrepreneur’s promising investment in a hip retrospective.

What is this
For those who assume that the frequency of updates on 56stuff.com is too low, we made this simple yet effective illusory pseudoupdate.
Using the illusory pseudoupdate is as easy as child’s play. The only thing you have to do in order to get fresh, original, and definitely new page is just to press “refresh” button. Wow?!
As you understand, we killed two birds with one shot: visitors don’t get bored anymore, and we have a neat confirmation of our never-ending hard-working process.
The content of this page
is obviously original. We use this instead of blog or, if you wish, a diary. Also you can find here some fragments from various interviews and a number of answers to frequently asked questions.
By the way,
another entertaining way to use this pseudoupdate is to play it like a game. For example, you can think of a picture and then keep clicking refresh until it loads in both slots. You can also compete with your friends: the one who gets the wished combination first wins!
And yes, you definitely can tell someone’s fortune using these pictures and words. For sure.
As for non-illusory updates,
they usually appear in our updates history.
