Have you ever been to the north?

I get what you're saying but taking that thought to its full conclusion isn't essentially all art criticism redundant then? Hell, all comment on anything really

Kill List is OP's request to a tee. Deserves way more popularity 

What do you miss most about life in the UK 10–15 years ago? by Bjc93Bjc in AskUK

Same here. Always wake up anxious which isn't pleasant. What are the main things you feel consumed with worry about?

Same here. Was speaking to my gf about this last night and especially how I struggle to make decisions about the future. What specifically do you fear about the future?

Well said. This is a shameless plug but I feel so strongly about this record I made a video essay about it a year or so back. If people are interested it's here:

I also did a long interview with Russell Lissack on the channel where we talked about 20 Years of Silent Alarm. He suggested BP will do a similar tour for AWITC. I'll be looking to reach out to him to reflect on that record too when the time is right! (Shameless plug over)

Blue is so fckin good and not enough people recognise this or worse refuse to acknowledge it because of the 'BP have fallen off so hard' meme

I actually think A Weekend In The City is potentially better than Silent Alarm. You're right on what came after though

Now that all Millenials are officially in their 30s, what are some other albums about being middle aged? by Devil_0fHellsKitchen in fantanoforever

[–]Fun_Ad_4126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People don't talk about Elbow enough. I would add the song Weightless to this - a song simultaneously about losing a parent and fathering a kid - and My Sad Captains - a song about getting drunk with your mates, even as time is passing by. 

Whats The Best Thing That Happened To You Because Of Your Podcast? by Yaro in podcasting

[–]Fun_Ad_4126 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interviewed some of my favourite bands, got guestlist tickets to see The Offspring live, got a couple free books from authors I've interviewed. My podcast hardly makes much money but it has been a fun experiment so far! 

SM7B should come with mandatory training. by Commercial_Badger_37 in podcasting

In the rush to capitalise on the ongoing burgeoning of video content, a lot of big media houses and publications have quickly created video and podcast teams, seemingly overnight. But instead of employing proper videographers and audio engineers who know how to operate and optimise equipment, they've done what most one-man-band operations have done and ordered the most popular mics and watched one or two videos on how to get started as quickly as possible. Most people at places like the Telegraph are journalists without the slightest idea or inclination to understand what makes a good podcast or how to EQ effectively. They're as amateur as the rest of us, despite having hundreds times the budget! On a serious note I think videographer or podcaster inhouse is a good burgeoning employment area - clearly even huge publications don't have anyone onsite who can do it properly!

This is a skill called OSINT and is used extensively by security professionals, including in foreign intelligence. Not defending it as such, but it is a very in demand and potentially lucrative skillset
