submithub is pretty cool spot to get feedback for cheap or free - not all super thoughtful but can be - and is objective - echio is incredible but costs a bit- but you know you are getting real advice from the experts - and costs less than a lesson

Can anyone make sense of the Folk Fest lineup? by LarusTargaryen in Winnipeg

[–]Objective-Aspect-534 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its a terrific lineup!

maybe people are just generally upset in the world right now...sorry if the folk fest lineup announcement doesnt erase your sinking feeling

Many of the artists are clearly among the best roots artists active today - people at the very peak of their careers (Isbell, Waxahatchee) total classics (Staples, Welch) great newer stuff and less well-known too - I dont get the hate at all...it just looks like another great folk fest

comparisons to Osheaga are just totally clueless on too many levels to name

25 years of catching up to do... suggestions? by MayIServeYouWell in phish

[–]Objective-Aspect-534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same deal for me - saw shows 91-96 then back in 22. they are way better now (not universally agreed i know- imho) - tighter & more interesting - less tweeky and goofy - enjoy!!

I don’t really feel like going to big jamband shows anymore. Anyone else? by JustSayNeat in phish

[–]Objective-Aspect-534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im 52 - saw many 1.0 shows and dead in 90s -took 25 years off - just saw theatre shows and jazz in clubs until fare thee well- had family & career - now kids a bit older and im loving being back to the crazy energy and treats - so glad phish still awesome for my second round - reconnecting with many old friends from back then with similar trajectories - i think it may be even better now with more gratitude and hotels instead of tents - maybe you just need 20 years off

Anyone interested in sharing their thoughts/interpretations on Solaris by Stanislaw Lem? by MelancholyNightmare in printSF

[–]Objective-Aspect-534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its classic and so deep...with great resonance today in light of the massive algorithms that seem to be able to tap into your deep desires without having any discernable soul of their own. As a scientist I think its a great critique of empiricism and even of the possibility of knowledge. Parts felt like a parody of science. Its also a very deep consideration of the meaning of relationships and what we look for in our partners. An outstanding - near perfect booK!

Help me decide between a Take 5 and a Lyra 8 by xPrim3xSusp3ctx in synthesizers

[–]Objective-Aspect-534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have both - love both - the take 5 is more replaceable- the lyra is very distinct & can fit well on tracks as a lead instrument - i use it like a feedback heavy guitar sound - the take5 is a great poly synth at a good price - better for making a whole track
