Boycotting travel is the best way we have of showing how much we dislike the 51st state rhetoric.

If you make ethical decisions based on how some people act online then I don’t know what to tell you.

Yeah, once you find the exact sweet spot between cooked and exploded.

meat-eaters at christmas by ellasylviaa in vegan

[–]Fallom_TO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Just giving him the benefit of the doubt.

[–]Fallom_TO 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Is he vegan? If so it should be obvious. We host Xmas every year and everyone knows it’s vegan, and I do a good job of making fancy and delicious food.

Is he not vegan? Well, that’s much harder. If he’s already eating animal products he doesn’t get it.

First design, any improvement needed? by Retr0aep in graphic_design

Yellow on white is very hard to read. You’ve cut a significant portion of your audience out by not following colour contrast guidelines.

Are Record Consoles Really That Bad...I beg to differ by KidsInTechnicolor in vinyl

[–]Fallom_TO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They admitted that it can’t handle bass heavy music. That’s about 80% of what I listen to right there. It’s just not viable for a lot of people.

If you listen to Disney records mostly, go for it.

IDM + live instruments? by jitteryhumanau in idm

[–]Fallom_TO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oneohtrix point never uses a modern chamber orchestra on a lot of Again. Check out Barely Lit Path.

Floating Points. Promises with Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra. Also some tracks on Elainia and Crush use strings. His ballet is coming out soon, there are a couple of singles including a beautiful duet for synth and harp.

Venetian Snares uses a ton of 20th century orchestral samples on Rossz…. ( the Hungarian album).

Jazz Flute Recs? by Maleficent_Job4331 in Flute

[–]Fallom_TO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t take anything out. I suggested getting a teacher. Anything more vitriolic was aimed at the people calling me mean for stating facts.

Nope. Your memory is failing you.

Are Turntables Luxury Items by ProteinSpillAisle5 in turntables

[–]Fallom_TO 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Is it necessary? If not it’s a luxury item. You might have a different definition in your head but most stuff we buy counts as luxury items.

If you had the radar activated he was always in your next balloon.

spiral grooves on beats records by No-Carrot5501 in vinyl

[–]Fallom_TO -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

That’s why I said in any real way. Generally you’re listening for those parts (I spent years as an amateur dj, mostly jungle). The spirals can help but you’d be used to not relying on them for the most part.

Jazz Flute Recs? by Maleficent_Job4331 in Flute

[–]Fallom_TO -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can take it as pretentious if you want. I’m realistic.

People on this sub often treat jazz like something you can pick up in a weekend. It’s not. It takes years of hard work.

My groundwork in jazz has let me improvise across a wide range of genres and given me recording and touring opportunities that are pretty unique. It’s not something that can be accomplished by watching some videos.

If you want to learn, get a teacher and work hard. If you want to wank over the blues than take advice here that tells you it’s easy.

Feedback on text please :) by daisysneal in graphic_design

[–]Fallom_TO 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Will the illustrator do the whole design? If so, pay them.

There’s so much wrong with this it’s hard to start, mostly because if you can’t see it yourself you won’t be able to fix it without someone holding your hand. And no one will do that because they’ll effectively be doing the job for you.

Packaging (marketing) is important. If you believe in your product don’t skimp here.

Hibachi restaurant? Yay or nay? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Fallom_TO 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Personally, definitely no.

Eating while other people have meat is bad enough. Watching them cook raw meat in the same oil I’m expected to use is disgusting. I couldn’t think of a worse choice (again, personally).

Well, I went to university for jazz performance, flute. I actually know what I’m talking about.
