I think his biggest mistake was he dumped his best material early; he's got some great theory early on. At some point in time that well mostly went dry and he's now left trying to ride the algorithm of quantity over quality.



i don't think he's run out of theory stuff it's more that it cuts into hawking his book if he goes too in-depth

so... guess that's it, huh? just... don't say i didn't warn you.
I have a hard time watching someone use a whiteboard on camera so I haven't really checked his theory stuff out. Seeing one of those videos just made me space out like I was back in high school.


Music youtube in general is a weird place. A lot of people jumped in with minimal training for very basic stuff or experience, people who have tons of industry experience but are hawking their poo poo every few minutes. Then there is the stuff that feels more like the video essay ''''breadtube'''' stuff. I just started watching Tantacrul videos and found his videos actually pretty good about various software design theory and limitations and suggestions to correct. But then he'll do a 5-10 minutes hbomberguy-esque screaming rant about jank at the end of a video I was not expecting it and also it felt a bit mean until he walked it back after. Then there is the video about Star Wars music and Reification which I found great but it has all the clickbait titling and stuff which is an unfortunate part of youtube marketing. Some streamers posting their videos say that dumb clickbait titles like this always get them more views

Their videos can easily be 4 minutes long at the most, there's almost no actual content

Your human mentality cries out for vengeance and thrives on the violence you say you can hardly endure.
I feel like enjoying TPS's videos depends on how much you like Dan and Mick and whether you're actually sitting down watching them or have them on while you're doing something else. I dunno they seem like chill guys to me, within their field of the same dozen dadrock pentatonic licks, but I assume this is where someone tells me Dan constructs his gigrig things out of orphan bones or whatever. Personally I dislike the anderton's guys to about the same degree but they're at least upfront about it being the youtube presence of a music store.

I've also been watching loads of synth youtube lately and that's a whole other type of charisma vacuum from guitar youtube. Look Mum No Computer rules though even though Sam speaks like he's trying to mug me

in terms of music backed by drum machines, there's always these guys who do ridiculous stuff with hard-panned symbols and crazy beats. It's like a musical tension heachache, I adore it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm4FDgcmTFY

They also had a sideproject that was much faster. Still just 2 men and a drum machine, but more metal (strong Godflesh/Bolt Thrower vibes)

To bring it back to stupid music poo poo, they're "promo" videos used to be great. Like this one taking the piss out of boutique pedals and black metal purists:

It's so stupid and so hard to imagine who it could possibly be for that it almost comes around to being Art. The mere existence of this artifact is mindbending and makes you question what you think you know. Like if you were wandering around someone's house on drugs and stumbled across a fuckin Long Duk Dong themed dimebag guitar it would take a while for you to accept that it was really there.

I can only imagine that someone ordered this and then didn't come through with the cash or something. Right? Surely these (apparently very skilled) painter guys didn't put in the time and money to create this thing just figuring that someone would want to buy it?

That guy is a leper. I've never gotten worse than hardened finger tips - like if I tap my fingers on a desk, they sound a lot more percussive than my right hand.

A while back on Austin Craigslist, someone kept listing and re-listing Original drumhead drumskin Dave Matthews Painting Portrait every day, for $100



Someone eventually had enough and posted their response last week:



Apparently the original poster took it to heart and stopped. At which point new ads started popping up looking to buy or trade for a Dave Matthews drum head.

quote:

Wanted: Dave Matthews themed drum head - $100

I know this seems a bit random, but I'm looking to buy a Dave Matthews themed drum head. Please hit me up if you've heard of such a thing - it would really bring my room together.

quote:

WTB Dave Matthews' Face on a Cymbal - $999

It's crazy, I know, but I've long wanted to integrate the face of Dave Matthews into my drum set. Perhaps there's an artist willing to paint his face on a crash (into me)?

quote:

Dave Matthews is God - $666



Trade for DM drum head

Others just paid tribute to Dave Matthews and his undeniably godly skill on the drums.

In response to all this demand we got:

quote:

RE:Wanted: Dave Matthews themed drum head - $90



I can't help you there as those are exceedingly rare and can only be procured in Nashville, Tennessee. I can however offer you this portrait of George Jones on a drum head. I know the Opossum is awful drat good but he's not in Dave's orbit hence the lower price. Thanks for looking.

Finally, someone started posting various pieces of unlikely Dave Matthews gear, with competent photoshops which I sadly did not save for posterity. The one I really wish I'd gotten was an amp with a portrait of Dave painted on the grille cloth. But today we have:

quote:

Fender Custom Shop - Dave Matthews Tele - RARE! - $3400



Due to these uncertain times, I must let go a portion of my epic guitar collection. This is an extremely limited run telecaster with DAVE MATTHEWS FACE ON IT! At only $3400 (or best offer of course) you can be one of the lucky few to own such a rare piece. Please check my other ads as I am also listing my beloved Randy Newman edition Les Paul, and my L.L. Cool Jay Stratocaster. I really hope this goes to a good home. Stay safe everybody and remember, we're in this epic trolling together.

Anyway I think it's funny and didn't know where else to share it.


e: It keeps coming

quote:

Stolen: DM custom guitar autographed



Dave Matthews autograph guitar. This guitar was stolen out of my house along with a drum head that had Dave’s visage on it. Be on the lookout!
