Blödsinn am Mittwoch (officially translated as Silliness on Wednesday), commonly shortened to BAM, was a blog run by C418. The original concept was for him to release a short song every Wednesday, but this later expanded to include albums and songs as long as 50 minutes. 52 "BAMs" were released between 2007 and 2009.
Bushes and Marshmallows was my english translation to a blog I used to host, called “Blödsinn am Mittwoch,” which translates into “silliness on Wednesday.” On that blog I created some piece of music every Wednesday, even if I had no time. It helped me get better at making music, and get better at making mediocre music under pressure, haha.
"BAM #1" was the creation of my blog. I thought of releasing songs every week and ended up having a normal blog with random song releases. But if you try to listen to them in order, you may notice how my quality level moved every time. One of the things I like about these “BAM”s. I can follow myself in the path of music creation.
Actually this song was just a joke. I told myself to make a song thats just a minute long, as fast as possible. The next day, this blog was created.
Oh and hello! You actually got this far! Thanks for going that deep into my history, you lurking bastard.
Not every BAM release still exists, as only the first 25 tracks were included in oldgarbage.zip and many were not archived by the Internet Archive. An appropriate source for each surviving BAM will be given, as well as details about what the lost BAMs might have been.
