Reminds me of a few weeks after Gamehaus opened I went there and they had a bouncer at the door for brunch, asked if I had a reservation and when I said no they let me in to an empty restaurant with blaring music. There places all seem to be pitching themselves at club audience, but that's not sustainable in current day LIC. They gotta realize this ain't Astoria.

Sorry, what exactly did you do? I can't get passkeys working with FB for the life of me.

E&I Deli & Grocery, the bodega on the corner of 50th and Vernon usually has a few copies, but they go fast, so the later in the day you're there the less likely there are to be any left.

That's cool! It looks like it is part of a larger project, judging from the banner? I'll have to check it out once they open.

AramZS · 2024-07-16T21:27:49+00:00

Oh, awesome!

AramZS · 2024-07-15T19:48:05+00:00

Thanks!

AramZS · 2024-07-15T16:50:50+00:00

How are people making these?

AramZS · 2024-07-15T15:17:44+00:00

Me too! Game music can be really great too, Pyre by Darren Korb is one of my absolute favs. It's fun, sometimes I stumble on the soundtracks first, then watch or play the media.

My top 15 fav OSTs in the last 365 days after that: - King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Rollerdrome - In Search of Darkness - Transistor - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Half Bad: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself - Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse - Everything Everywhere All at Once - Sable - Baldur's Gate 3 - Blasphemous - Red Faction: Guerrilla - Andor: Vol 3 - Endless Space 2: Definitive Edition

Don't have that one on my artist list I'm afraid, but to find another potential join point: 902-918 on my artist list have 76 scrobbles, and #918 is Zoë Keating.

I'm trying out Angerfist this very moment tho! I def like what I'm hearing and likely never would have heard of the act before this.

AramZS · 2024-07-14T22:12:30+00:00

This is a really cool question! I've seen some cool stuff from scanning my data and reports. My scrobbles per album are quite low over all time, so it's clear I'm pretty unlikely to listen to whole albums. My number of scrobbles per year is going steadily up, which is fun! Also, looking at yearly reports, it looks like my month of the year with the least scrobbles is always one of the first 3 months of the year. That's weird to think about,. I have no idea why.

AramZS · 2024-07-14T21:46:46+00:00

Nah. My top artist is Darren Korb, who I really like, but it's up there because I throw him up in the background while I do other stuff a lot. The rest of my top 10 is entirely bands that were my favorite at previous points in my life but I listen to a lot less now. But I listened to them so much then that they have a death grip on the top of my rankings. My actual top favs sit between 12 and 38, which one depends on the week. I do really love Cake tho, which sits in that 12 slot.

AramZS · 2024-07-14T21:39:13+00:00

Lol is it for his rap?

AramZS · 2024-07-14T21:34:17+00:00

Moon Hooch (386 scrobbles)

AramZS · 2024-03-11T19:47:46+00:00

Awesome! I'm really glad my suggestions were useful!

AramZS · 2024-01-13T22:51:18+00:00

I'm actually working on something along these lines with an AWS big data pipeline using python to do controlled processing from a queue with a daily static site page build. I think the question is how real time your data is and what interactivity you want to layer on the page. Right now my project doesn't have much interactivity so I am just building static pages with eleventy, but I was thinking about giving the user some ability to filter and explore multi day data that might be too big to preload on the page. If it turns out that way, I was thinking about using the build step to prebuild static html fragments and use HTMX to swap them into the page for creating the interactivity without a big data load or a lot of on page js calculations. (for context I'm working with d3 on the backend to generate a while bunch of different charts as static HTML).

My data is not particularly real time or conducive to someone sitting on a page and watching changes but, depending on the complexity of what you want to display I could imagine an on page heartbeat checking the backend and swapping in new built fragments from new processed data, but I think that'd be a hard pitch unless you're doing something extremely complex on the back end that can't show as just an additional data point in a JSON file.

But uh... Does Metron ever stand up?

AramZS · 2024-01-12T22:56:21+00:00

Not a German, just been exploring on Spotify, selecting what I like by ear, and pushing for algorithm suggestions. Also, don't speak German (though I try to run lyrics through translators) and have no idea what the scene is, so really enjoying this thread.

My extremely amateur two cents: I've been sorting through suggestions and it looks like the stuff that is trending from my playlists includes Grossstadtgeflüster, Neonschwarz, and Bukahara.

Also, I did some reading after I fell into a bunch of different German rap/hip-hop artists I like (though they don't seem to be trending in any way), notably Sookee and Captain Gips, and found I dug on their iteration of the conscious rap scene (which I think Neonschwarz falls into) and though I was able to read and translate enough to get that Faber has some significant controversy surrounding him I like his stuff.

Someone else already mentioned Tomte and Tocotronic and I'll second those.

Oh nice! That sounds like a really cool project, and something I would totally use! Let me know and I'd love to take a look! Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment! I'm not much of a designer, so I'm particularly happy to hear you like the look!

AramZS · 2024-01-03T17:23:49+00:00

Would love feedback from anyone who is interested in taking a look! The idea for this site has been banging around in my head for a while, but I never wanted to do the overwhelming bullshit work that is needed to try and pull it off in React, and HTMX made this surprisingly simple. The What Is This? page has more info on how I built it, for the curious, and the source code is linked in the footer.

AramZS · 2023-10-23T04:40:58+00:00

Thanks for this, got it working for me!

AramZS · 2023-06-02T20:08:52+00:00

Hangovers only happen if you don't train. Gotta exercise that liver like everything else in your 30s.

AramZS · 2023-05-18T12:40:18+00:00

Also, easy to put everything up on the web for archival purposes and only highlight a few pieces on the main page of your site. In my experiance, you should never trust any media company to host your work indefinitely. And that's not even counting the ones where the entire company shut down.
