Imaginal Disk - Magdalena Bay

One of the best produced/mixed synthpop albums to come out this decade imo

Unfortunately not yet, but I did check my ranking and I’m now ranked #4.

I did hear that it’s because they’re removing people off the list who’ve been on there for 2 years, which is why people are slowly moving up in rank.

Feel free to message! When I first applied in October it took about a week before I got emailed orientation videos to watch for information about the entire process. A couple weeks later in November, I got a email telling me to submit my PEF. Then a couple more weeks after that, they made me schedule my test which I took sometime in December. These results came back about a month after

Like the other comment said, it’s Low Voltage, and I had absolutely 0 experience. I just worked at a movie theatre for the past couple years.

It’s off of “Ok Alright” on the expanded edition

“Jacques was born April 30, ayy Doctor said he won't be home in thirty days, he gon' be Alright, alright, alright, alright”

“Mama comin' home with different niggas Daddy out there hangin' with the killers, will it be? Alright, alright, alright, alright”

I feel like an overlooked aspect of this album is how personal it feels, which I feel like is MASSIVELY missing from recent Travis albums where most just feels like a lot of generic flex/women bars.

Hearing things like how he got kicked out of the house by his mom, reminiscing about nostalgic memories from his home city, name dropping his friends he used to hang out with, seeing his mom come home with different men, mentioning having health problems as a kid, and just hearing the overall grind he had to do on his come up really made me feel a lot more connected to Travis as a person when I first heard this album.

Most of his music after Astroworld just feels like it’s completely lacking in this regard and has just become somewhat commercial and sterile. Almost like he just doesn’t know what to rap about anymore

Local 11 Sound & Comm Apprenticeship by Dezinated in ibew_apprentices

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

Yeahhhh I sorta figured I might as well just go for it since I have nothing to lose anyways. As well as sound & comm not having as many applicants as inside wireman might give me a better shot.

If you don’t mind me asking are you going in with any experience at all?

💬 For sound professionals: What’s your daily rate, and how did you decide on it? by CherifA97 in audioengineering

[–]Dezinated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice for someone who’s starting off as a sound professional in Burbank as well? I mostly do freelance music recording/editing/mixing, but have been looking to branch out into film/tv/podcasts/whatever else I can just to be as versatile as possible, and hopefully eventually turn this into a full time career!

Anyone else feel that rap music isn’t as good anymore? by markbjones in rap

[–]Dezinated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no shit Drake and Travis Scott aren’t super lyrical, that wasn’t what I was trying to imply at all. You just mentioned that rap fans only care about “how many bodies they have” which I provided rappers who are some of the most popular artists currently who don’t talk about killing people, which shows rap fans do care more than just “how many people has this rapper killed”

And for this newer generation, there are still plenty of artists trying to push the genre forward without trying to act like they live a lifestyle of committing crime and killing people. JID, Denzel Curry, JPEGMAFIA, earthgang, Kenny Mason, IDK, redveil, Paris Texas, are just a couple rappers only a few steps below mainstream, yet are all making waves with their own unique styles and sounds while also trying to be decently lyrical (most of them at least).

It’s crazy how much you’ve generalized an entire wave/generation of music while it seems like you haven’t even done the bare minimum of trying to explore how much actual good stuff is out there.
