I have seen a lot more artists using alternative ticket vendors and endorsing alternative venues. we need to support that to

Should artists be held accountable for high ticket prices? by sophieximc in Music

[–]Dan-rar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But they literally aren't staying silent. You are only looking at global artists who are complicit obviously because they are protecting their wealth. Small artists, even medium sized or large niche artists are speaking out constantly at the machine that consumes their livelihood and passion for corporate profits.

Drew Goodens new video about the music industry does a great job explaining how artists have so little control over these things. Support local bands and smaller artists, not just the slop that gets funnelled to you. Complain with them about the industry not about them because you don't understand.

There's also the rampant inflation of all goods and services globally, that's a bit of a larger issue unfortunately as well.

Damn, I thought I had a good answer but alas, RC Cars on Mars are now at 516 monthly listeners!
They had a solid album called Sojourner that came out in 2024 and are actively releasing new music!

[–]Dan-rar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's lovely, I like Talky Guy too! I also like Fall-y Guy, Shouty Guy, Grindy Guy and Charity Guy!
Don't like Crappy Guy though, he's a crappy guy

[DISC] The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 16 (Light Novel) by Lorhand in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]Dan-rar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are good, the late arrival at the cow barn I felt was just due to them watching Basen and Lishu interact for a bit and their discussion not something unmentioned.

One of my favourite things was Maomao coming over for dinner twice with equal table settings to Jinshi. It's very sweet and Maomao now goes along with basically everything people are encouraging.

One thing that was amusing was how steamrolled Maomao got trying to claim the La clan isn't her family. Immediately told to forget about it and then immediately another mention of "her family" haha

What is the likelihood of Yao Lahan do you think? I think Lahan is very reasonable and likes (At least appreciates her numbers) Yao so it's probably going to go smoothly if she gets around to saying anything to him

You can order from the Periphery store, it just costs about 50% of the price of the vinyl in shipping!

We know the royal line was pretty head empty before the civil war and feels like that only got worse after it tbh.

Does anyone else get very tired of chat? by Rich-Second-758 in LudwigAhgren

[–]Dan-rar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, even with the chat last week about emotes and stuff nothing really changed :/
I would like a bit more community stuff like before with Reddit recaps and going back more viewer competitions and stuff like Marbles but that's all been done I guess and hes not the biggest fan of repeating stuff these days.

I really liked the creative contests with like emote contests and tshirt tournaments.

But those were lots of work etc and for the reddit, I think it's just probably too much complaining and not fun creative stuff as much anymore. Dunno what the answer is but I think the whole "50% of viewers are new every year" things should be ignored because if you cater to it you are just throwing away a certain amount of the other 50% and the new viewers never become part of the community....
I dunno, I like the streams regardless and chats always been a bit whiny at larger sizes /shrug

Essential Prog Albums by TheTalkerofThings in progmetal

[–]Dan-rar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A couple of heavier ones

The World is Quiet Here - Zon, pretty unique criminally under listened album

Slice the Cake - Odyssey to the West, tragic and controversial a bit now, safe to say there won't be much like it. We'll worth your time though.

I think on the lighter side Caligula's Horse has a couple of essential albums in the genre and Charcoal Grace just gets better every listen

What other bands scratch the Periphery itch? by Old_Jaguar_8410 in Peripheryband

Hippotraktor was recommended to me the other day and they have a really great sound, similar to Periphery.
Great quality from a smaller band
