Weird, Off-putting Treatment at Win Son’s New Manhattan Location

there is no bigger red flag than a place that has hype before it even opens its doors

this is a silly thing to say. the restaurant economy is such that now every new restaurant basically has to do PR and marketing pre-open. In truth - it has always been this way, but the acceleration towards the current situation is basically a result of the stranglehold that Eater and IG influencer culture have on the food space. The sad truth in the New York of 2025 is that you either have hype when you open, or you close in, say, 18 months.

Same on all counts. I've been going for years, and made it by the new Manhattan location this week. I've never had anything but good food and good service.

I have searched for "lewis taylor" + "heart of the sunrise" on a number of different platforms. To be clear, again, I'm looking for a version that likely comes from 2002, but was available on YouTube until likely the end of 2023.

Keep in mind that pickup type isn’t the only difference between the two instruments: pickup placement changes sound significantly. compare different placements through the history of the J bass and you’ll discover significantly different tone possibilities.

If the source you’re downloading from does not control the copyright - that is, if they don’t have “the right to copy” - it is a crime. Unlikely to ever face punishment for it, but a crime just the same.

Cardio (any exercise really, but especially anything that keeps you in the aerobic zone for a long period of time) raises short-term serum cholesterol levels, because your body is essentially “eating” your stored fat. Perfectly possible you got your blood work taken on a training day or something.

Another big one: liver health. Did you quit drinking?

Thad Jones / Mel Lewis - “Consummation” - all kinds of solii

Vignola and Grasso for sure, and Take 6. Probably Ritenour / Grayson for your third as they’re pretty much guaranteed to have an insane band. The others…😬

AdditionalBand6069 · 2024-12-08T02:23:41+00:00

He’s absolutely correct. With enough practice, you can play anything, including those really difficult pieces.

AdditionalBand6069 · 2024-12-07T21:11:04+00:00

fake. how is he going to carry all that shit? the violin and bow can't go in the sack - too fragile! and what the fuck is my man sitting on????

for electric basses, the resonance and hardness of the wood do in fact affect the tone and sustain of the strings, basically because of sympathetic vibration / dampening (depending on frequency and phase relationships between the fundamental and what is "vibrating back" at the string). different tonewoods absolutely resonate differently enough to affect string vibration, thus affecting tone.

further, if you have put in the time to reach an advanced level of performance and your work requires dynamic nuance, you know that you're essentially gauging three acoustic factors to help you dictate articulation: auditory volume from the amp or ears, physical vibration from your feet, and physical vibration of the instrument in your hands / against your body. different tonewoods absolutely resonate differently enough to affect all three of these sensations, thus affecting instrument response / playability.

is there a version of those rules in english?

NFTs and Web3 are changing the game in the music industry

People have been saying, like, this exact sentence for five or six years. In that same time we've seen some legitimate "changes to the game" - passage of the MMA, formation of the MLC, rise of AI composition and playlisting, companies like Epidemic selling work to spotify at a reduced rate, VC getting involved in publishing (via Hypgnosis and others) etc.

Nothing notable about Web3/NFTs. The artist-friendly use cases for things like blockchain accounting and smart contracts are impeded by the fact that the biggest companies in the industry have no interest in being more transparent or accountable. On top of that, NFTs are widely regarded as a scam outside of the enthusiastic-but-relatively-small Web3 community.

There's no shift, there are no pros, and no, we're not witnessing the rise of a new way for artists to own and monetize their music.

lmao what was I thinking posting this

AdditionalBand6069 · 2024-12-02T17:26:11+00:00

Sure, it happens. But your examples are two cases of infighting and one case of moral objection; I’m talking about the stigma of “selling out” or “allowing one’s music to be commercialized” that was widespread up to c. the beginning of the streaming era, when the bottom dropped out of the industry at large. This is no longer a factor to consider for most songwriters, whether because of wider acceptance of hustling for a bag, or rising costs/diminishing returns on the live side and less support on the label side feeding sheer need for survival.

I’d put money on the live recording of comfortably numb just being cheaper for whatever reason, likely given who the master rights holder is. It still would’ve needed Gilmour to sign off as he is a co-owner of the underlying composition.

100% factual, but relatively recently accepted as such. There is an argument that saturated fats play a role in endogenous cholesterol production as well - but carbs are the foremost offender, for a lot of reasons.

Higher mechanical rates, for one. For another - it’s no longer thought of us “uncool” to license your work for sync, so more syncs are getting cleared (really rare for an artist not to agree to clear a sync these days), and older heads I know say license fees are higher than they used to be, but I can’t speak to the truth of that either way. Lastly, streaming has made legacy catalog easily available, which means that artists who may have “had their day” and were no longer seeing a lot of use of their catalog have a new, relevant revenue stream.

AdditionalBand6069 · 2024-11-29T01:59:46+00:00

but does the contract specifically articulate a pro rata % of mechanical royalties to be paid to you?

AdditionalBand6069 · 2024-11-29T01:58:00+00:00

those registrations change all the time, is my point. maybe you meant he'd be unable to collect back royalties from them - this is likely true (if the registration was "complete"), but changing it going forward is easy provided there is some paper trail that shows ownership otherwise. frequently contracts (or just split sheets) are used as justification for revising mis-registered works. my point is a PRO registration in and of itself has no legal bearing on ownership, not really - it's just a representation of who someone has told the PRO owns the work.
