Allen Wren posted:Nah. This is just the evolved version of the AOR radio format that emerged in the late seventies to halt and nearly eliminate progressive FM. The businesspeople that actually owned the stations realized that they don't need to bother playing the cool and good and weird stuff, people want to hear the hits. So if something's a hit (or about to be one) and they play it every hour or two, they're connecting that hit to the audience more often than they would if they were more well-rounded. This increases listenership and makes the station more advertising money. Most people listening to the radio are hearing it for fifteen minutes in a building or maybe an hour in traffic, apart from the dweebs stuck at their job with a radio on that their boss won't let them turn off. So they make sure that that listening window is as full of hits as possible.

Spanish Manlove posted:but it's a girl group! you have to like them Semi-related: over the last ten years, my regular rotation has become more and more female-heavy, to the extent that my current regular rotation has maybe one male-fronted band in it. Not through any intentional engineering on my part; it just seems like more and more female-fronted bands are doing weird experimental stuff that I'm drawn to. I mean there's always been female acts doing cool weirdness, but it just seems like there are SO MANY right now and the dudes are just not doing much.

I'm cool with women heavy bands but hate when they treat that as a selling point. For example, good: Women doing black metal vocals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ5RcmqHKKg bad: fake tits in front of the fetal alcohol syndrome version of in flames' newer stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GurkREc-q4I

this turned up for local sale recently and I regret that I don't have enough cum in my balls to play it note the additional bolted on bits of mirror right where your hand rests above the bridge, incorrectly installed floyd nuts and that incredible tuner configuration

That Floyd looks like it isn't routed at all and is just sitting on the top. Am I looking at it wrong, or is it extreme cargo cult engineering? I'm also a fan of the extremely out-of-place Danelectro headstock and the much-too-round fretboard radius. That thing really is a visual feast.

What the gently caress is up with the intonation? First five saddles look kinda ok then the sixth is hanging out on it's own all the way at the back, like that one kid on the schoolbus who puked and poo poo all over himself.

i'd venture a guess that the intonation isn't set up ok I just realised it's the signature of the guy from Loudness so all is forgiven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXCpPpPCW4c

That's a lot more faithful than I was expecting. EDIT: I had no idea that the market was big enough for Chinese knockoffs. Not going to link to where you can buy one, obviously. Lots of photos of the real deal here. Rugoberta Munchu fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Jul 16, 2017 |

The Muppets On PCP posted:they're basically a machine learning algorithm that was fed only 80s and 90s adult contemporary radio playlists On the topic of Ed Sheeran the song "castle on the hill" by Ed Sheeran came on the radio the other day (and every other day) and I realised what a subtle humblebrag it is. The last verse of the song is about what a pitiful tragedy it is that all Ed's friends grew up to have normal, non-world-touring-rockstar lives: Two work regular jobs, selling clothes and something near the coast - oh no! Ones on his second wife - (how scandalous, he had a divorce, and then remarried. Let me tut disapprovingly like a 1950's housewife) Then he goes 'But these people raised me and I can't wait to go home' "But"? So he saying that in *spite* of their obvious shortcomings, Ed is still looking forward to going home and gracing these sad working class pricks with his presence again anyway. Because he's nice like that.

An old coworker of mine used to work on them in the gulf sometimes doing automation repairs but once he had to go up to alaska to fix something and they gave him bright orange jumpsuit just before getting on the helicopter. He asked why it was high vis, as in the south they give you whatever color they have laying around. The other guy gruffly said "eh, the water's below freezing, you'll die in five minutes anyway. Helps to find the body when you can't flail around asking for help."

DIB has some kind of hate bone-on, because this is the second time they've gone in on her in this thread. Who knows. I've seen her twice and she's genuinely great - one of the few guitarists I can recognise just from phrasing alone, and the development in her style over the course of SK is ridiculous. I'm not too fussed about the new record but The Woods is the full package for me.

I've learned to disassociate music from the performer to a good degree especially after one too many letdowns with some of the people who's music I dig/dug in the past. Curiously enough, two of my biggest idols, Slash and Ian MacKaye, turned-out to be decent dudes. So, when I said that Carrie Brownstein is "the bomb", I meant that as a performer.
