In the trash can there's a strange zip file you can download. Unzipping it reveals a readme.txt, which says:

Sorry, no album download for the moment, our server is under reddit hug... The album is also here : https://jankenpopp.bandcamp.com/album/poire-c-poire-v

Going to this bandcamp it mentions:

THE IDEA BEHIND THIS ALBUM WAS TO MAKE A DEVIANT DANCE MUSIC LABEL TO RELEASE THIS HORRIBLE TRACKS, BUT THIS PROJECT WENT TOTALLY WRONG AND BECAME THE THING KNOWS AS WWW.WINDOWS93.NET THERE IS A LIMITED SD-CARD EDITION OF THIS ALBUM THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM ME IRL FOR 10€ THIS ALBUM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR FREE BUT HIDDEN ON WIN93 SOON, IF YOU SUCCEED TO FIND IT.

So I guess that's the backstory.

I also found this in the "What if?" app that is apparently a collection of Matrix memes.

>What if I told you

>Jankenpopp's new album is in the trash

It's that "Glitch Grrrlz" icon.
Or corglitch? I'm really enjoying that one...

[edit] Well crap, what did I click? I could have sworn this was what was playing the music, but I realized it's not. Hmm.

[edit-edit] Oh, it was acid box. That makes sense.
