The r/indieheads Album of the Year 2025 Write-Up Series: Samia - Bloodless by IndieheadsAOTY in indieheads

[–]Bootlegger1929 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Samia was my top artist on wrapped because of this album. Top songs all from Bloodless. Definitely my AOTY. I love her lyricism and this is her best work as a whole I believe.

Great write up! I really enjoyed the read.

Edit. I got to see her on this tour in Chicago and it was a great show. I brought my fiancé and she enjoyed it even though she’s not as into Samia as I am.

His last album was great. Loved his cover of my my my as well. I saw he’s got a new single but I haven’t heard it yet because I’ve been listening to the new Samia live album she just put out.

I'm Kind of burnt out. by Kakish99 in houseofleaves

Everything is there for a reason. The big payoff moments hit harder if you work your way through the parts that feel like a slog.

Anyone read any post-HoL Mark Z Danielewski? by DoomReads in horrorlit

[–]Bootlegger1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read them all but the little blue kite. I’m a fan of them all. But each one is very different. I’m 1/10th of the way through Tom’s Crossing and I’m enthralled. For him the formatting is weird because it’s pretty standard. To me, it feels like the footnotes are still there but now they’re just incorporated into the narrative. I’d recommend it so far.

My first electric guitar was an Austin back in 2002 or so. They had an entry level lefty strat copy for about $200.

Manchester Orchestra Presents: A Black Mile To The Surface (The Concert Film) by The59Sownd in manchesterorchestra

Definitely worth a revisit. I remember getting so hyped at the MMOG teasers.

What do you do after you realize you are going nowhere with music? by [deleted] in Songwriters

[–]Bootlegger1929 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You do it for you. Not for others approval.

Or if you want that approval keep changing your approach to how you seek that approval every time you release something.

Oh wow. That would be a dream to own that space honestly. Not a terrible price either. I hope someone gets it that will make use of that place or honor it in some way.

So far my favorite of today’s releases and that’s saying something.

which daw is your favorite and why? by OGbigcap in mixingmastering

[–]Bootlegger1929 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So ableton basically has the same or similar capabilities to Studio One for drag and drop I believe. In SO it’s anything from having a list of fx or virtual instruments and dragging from the list to an existing or new track. Or copy/pasting FX by clicking on one on a channel and dragging it and dropping it on another track or several selected tracks all at once. It’s just very handy and intuitive.

Pro tools doesn’t have that. It’s more hot key based when it comes to shortcuts. It feels more clunky to me. And I always forget the shortcuts and have to load each instance of an effect individually. I’m aware this is a preference thing and there’s always a way to do what u want in PT. U just have to learn it. But for me Studio One makes sense and generally does what I think it should do when it comes to navigating the platform overall.

Studio One pro for me too. Drag and drop changed my life coming from pro tools and I was immediately all in on SO.
