This might have gotten lost in the last thread but this happened tonight and it was really sweetquote:One of our jam regulars came out as trans tonight by announcing it from the stage after playing a set and the whole bar responded with a round of applause and cheers.

Failed Imagineer posted:Gabh mo leithscéal mo dhearthair, níl Béarla againn. Deirimid as Béarla ach amháin nuair a bhfuil obair le déanamh leis na Sasanaigh againn. 2 years of Irish on duolingo and I think I understood most of that. Anyway, I've long thought that a UKMT podcast would be easily achievable and probably very good, given the quality of most posters itt. Chapo started out as a recording of a conference call essentially, and it wouldn't be hard to record a group voice chat with some moderation and cut it into something presentable. We only need someone to volunteer doing the editing, I'm poo poo at it and don't have the time.

ThomasPaine posted:Well yes, but Irish as a language was largely resurrected in the context of resistance against the British state. Ireland's majority population is still de facto part of the anglosphere - even among catholics - and has been since probably the medieval period (i.e. well before imperial capitalism as we understand became the dominant socio-economic system in Britain). I love that the prisoners using Irish to communicate in secret called it "Jailteacht".

I'm assuming it's easy enough to record a voice chat or something? The first one could just be a round up of the weekly news, someone to host/curate/keep things on topic. We'd also immediately be somewhat popular because as an SA project we'd be chapo/hbomb/Shaun adjacent

My god i don't have access to the full article but even just that first paragraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politic...sXiJdC3l-E01XTo quote:This is tough right now, being a proud and loyal British subject who has lived in, and loved, Ireland for more than 60 years. What is tough is watching the ridiculous behaviour of the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and his foreign minister, Simon Coveney, trying to destroy, like wilful children, relations with an ancient and friendly neighbour.

Alright so we have a volunteer for editing. If someone has any hot tips on how to record a conference call, I'll be happy to see if I can set something up with the gear i have (zoom 4 and basic mixing desk), but if someone else has a better idea let us know!

Ok so local recordings, share the files on a Google drive, cut em together, release on soundcloud. Reckon we can start with 3 or 4 people, so if you have local recording ability confirm and we can kick it off!

Tesseraction posted:also remember the entire point of clappers in movies was to help sync the audio: something to consider when beginning local recordings as it helps the editor deal with 3-4 people who probably didn't all press record exactly 4 seconds before the beginning of the main audio for the podcast/discussion Aye I figured, counting in one, two, three, and then everyone claps three times or something. I reckon this'll work!

I checked the spreadsheet earlier today and it seems like only a handful of people currently have local recording options. Shall we pick a date and time and have a preliminary chat to see how it works?

CGI Stardust posted:Someone's twanging her vocal cords and sliding up them. I guess it's not digitally altered in any way, but I have no idea how she does that. It's all standard singing techniques, like glissando and voice breaking, but she's doing it literally everywhere she can, which, again, is what tweens trying to sound grown up do. They're best used sparingly to emphasise crescendos and dynamic inflections.

communism bitch posted:I presume they're mixing up Scandinavians with Saxons? The Romans brought a fuckload of Saxon auxiliaries into Britain in the 3rd and 4th centuries to try and keep control of the province while the western empire was going down the shitter. Left to their own devices most of the Saxons decided to take over the joint and invite a bunch of their mates over in the following couple centuries. My source is a Norwegian PHD student of medieval history and has keynote speeches under her belt at a pretty young age, but it was just a fb message so didn't go in depth.

If you are interested, I have a small selection of pieces saved that I've found resonate very well with people who don't think they "get" classical music. I'd be happy to fire off a PM if you're curious.
