yeah I feel quite proficient in both of them. I have a real "knack" for understanding user interfaces but I lack the simple musical taste aspect to make anything good, nor the patience

the taste aspect will come with practice, I've found out. my earliest tracks are so loving cringeworthy I can't even listen to them without wanting to kill myself. when your tracks start sounding good (to you), the patience come automatically as it's really fun to make something good (suddenly you'll look at the clock finding out that 4 hours have passed).

IMHO

i just downloaded the new demo (i wanted to try the game out earlier but mega kept stalling) and it looks nice but runs at <5 fps on my computer. i'd imagine that it's the fancy shaders because it's not a very high-poly game, maybe if there was an option to turn off effects like the film grain or whatever it is i'd have an easier time running it. can't comment on the controls because the framerate makes the necessary finesse impossible but as it is i somehow managed to get all the way around to the other platform.

music chat: the hawkwind techno album from 1995 has the absolute worst mixing of any major studio release that i've ever heard. it sounds like it's being played in a well a mile away.

wow really. poo poo. I think it might be the real time global illumination [which does gently caress all given my level design] coz my shaders aren't complicated and there aren't even any textures AT ALL . wellp I really appreciate your time, thanks :)

It's called a Dreadnaut. I need to get a different piece for the top, it's a bit weird and has room for more coils but the air flow into it is kind of lovely because of where the holes are.

sometimes i like listening to music my parents listened to and grew up with

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_On6Z57-KTE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFRAFHtU-PE

i grew up hating them since they used to play it all the time, but now it just hits a massive nostalgia center in my brain somewhere.

apologies to those who hate these songs.

basically a concept album about the industrialization of britain up to the '90s (when it was recorded of course), kind of a weird hybrid of folk and jazz and chamber music. the two thompsons are not actually related. exhaustively informative liner notes and a classy green rykodisc case. not sure why i never posted about it before because i've had it for years and years but better late than never. :love:

richard thompson?! :swoon: :allears:

now i need to go post every song i can find from "mock tudor"

like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tze2klRR5dA

also all the richard-and-linda stuff, like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcFhyy2kgdo

i felt rem's version just didn't come across right, but maybe that's because i love the original so much:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXyRCdNZoOA



how weird this seems to me, though:

The Thompsons had adopted the Sufi faith in 1974 and had moved into a commune in London. The songs on this album reflect their new faith and the relief that Richard Thompson had found in that faith.

It seems that various and conflicting pressures were bearing down on the duo at the time.
  • Linda Thompson: '...At one point our Sheikh forbade Richard to do music... On the other hand, he always encouraged me, "you have a voice and you've got to sing".' [1]
  • Jo Lustig (managing the Thompsons at the time) :'Richard came to me and said "look, my Mullah doesn't want me to play electric guitar. I don't know what I'm going to do about my career... I'm not going to be working."'[1]

And there was a recording contract. The Thompsons owed Island Records an album. The compromise seems to have been that the album to be delivered was to have a strong spiritual aspect.

Linda Thompson: 'Pour Down Like Silver was when Sheikh Abdul Q'adir said we could make music as long as it was to God... Dimming of the Day, Beat the Retreat, Night Comes In, they're all about God, and considering they're all about God some of them aren't bad.' [1]
