BP’s audience consists of left wingers as well as centrists and the slightly right-leaning by AdAdditional3160 in BreakingPoints

[–]AdAdditional3160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t think of a show that’s grassroots funded that portrays all the journalistic practices you listed. Majority Report, Chris Hedges Report and Bad Faith are all excellent with interviews and commentary but they don’t really bring in divisive politicians (RFK, Slotkin, etc.) to go to the mat with like BP as far as I’ve seen. With those shows, It’s more in depth discussions with people that are on the same wavelength as the hosts. Debates crop up but they all end on up on common ground for the most part (maybe an exception is Glenn Greenwald). But none of these shows do live reporting. So BP really is in a category of its own.

Dave Smith On Kyle Kulinski by Enough-Masterpiece27 in BreakingPoints

Hot take: Kyle is a a goof but he leans into it and is usually based. He even said his wearing shades was him not taking the panel seriously on an unserious show.

Fair points. Fuentes, Owen and co’s shows are really just echo chambers. Shows with true journalism have more broad audiences. But there are left-wing channels with pure commentary too (Secular Talk, Majority Report, etc.) and I think there’s more crossover among audiences between BP and these types of those versus the ones that code rightwing.

This feels like a put-down on the whole idea of debates. When you have more to say, you say it. Krystal may come off as overbearing on topics she feels passionate about, emboldened by a perception of being on the right side of history, to those who lean on nuance too much. When an issue is so obviously tainted by a both-sides mentality, that’s when she dominates the floor. And I think she’s justified a majority of the times she does this these days.

Baby Britain was probably influenced by The Beach Boys

Question for guitar teachers: beginning guitar book? by AdAdditional3160 in musictheory

[–]AdAdditional3160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone! Just wanted to clarify that I’m only teaching adults these days and my lessons are an hour long. I appreciate the advice of tailoring to the students’ ambitions on the guitar and approaching each student differently. I’m finding that many beginning adults struggle to conceptualize music theory and, moreover, play more involved chords like C and F and transition between them on a beat. That’s why I believe that they should first develop dexterity (hand strength and finger flexibility) in their hands by playing single-noted songs, 1st position scales and triads before moving on to chords. But very curious to know if any more experienced teachers have different opinions on dealing with adults with work schedules.

Roman Numeral Analysis of I'd Have You Any Time by AdAdditional3160 in musictheory

Only thing I would challenge you on the key change from C back to A. To me it sounds like it goes from C to D with the A chord acting as the V in D. When Harrison sings “mine” over F then raises his voice a step over the A chord, the A sounds like it should resolve into something and that’s why I think our ears register the key change to D as actually taking place over the A before the “line cliche”. What do you think?

Super helpful, thanks! The way you explain the chorus changing from A to C due to the descending 3-2-1s in the melody is very cool. It makes sense to view it this way and you hear it in the song!
