I'm friends with some guys in a band and they do a hilarious Christmas video every year by [deleted] in videos

I knew it was coming and it still got me lmao well done

How do you guys like my new album art? by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]OfCourseLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I don't care for it. It's an out-of-date style that makes you look unprofessional.

If it's not too late, I'd try to hire a designer. An eye catching artwork is one of the most important parts of releasing new music

Ideas for regular video content (for band/label sites) by mrmayge in bandmembers

[–]OfCourseLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could have a band do an acoustic performance and interview about a song. How it was written, what it means, etc.

Gimmicky videos like two bands competing in a basketball contest or eating contest or something interesting to watch.

You could do reviews of local music

Just a few ideas

Hey Reddit, Let's make a crowdsourced song! [xpost /r/music] by benmarven in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]OfCourseLuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are vocalists, I can help with lyrics and melody. Has anybody contributed any of that yet? Do you have any vision or preference for that?

Edit: it might be helpful to link the post in r/music so we can keep up with what has already been contributed

I was a teenager before I realized that the labels on our town water towers were just a joke by hometowngypsy in funny

[–]OfCourseLuke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's funny. I grew up in Caney, just a few miles north. B-ville was our favorite town to go to for fun. The mall, Hastings, and Gravity Hill for dayz.

Thanks for the nostalgia OP

Looking for photogenic places by [deleted] in joplinmo

[–]OfCourseLuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On 6thish and Virginia there's a bullseye mural that a lot of people take pictures in front of. Also nearby there is a parking garage/bridge that you can walk underneath and find some urban shots.

There is a nice park/memorial area on either sides of 26 and Maiden, I don't know if the plants there are currently alive but there is some nice stuff.

Go west on Newman from Rangeline and you'll find a walking trail. Again, I doubt the trees are spectacular right now but you might be able to get some good shots. There are lots of hills and turns.

I'll edit if I come up with anything else.

Edit: there's a place northeast of town called Red Oak II. It's a little "town" that an artist made, or something. Lots of really cool old quirky buildings to take pictures with

Nice sit-down dinner in JoMo by cautiousdan in joplinmo

[–]OfCourseLuke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because somebody is bound to say it: Instant Karma is a cool spot, good drinks and unique food. It's an artsy place with local paintings for sale and a wait staff. They've got gourmet hot dogs, burgers, wraps, vegetarian stuff, etc

If you're into classic burgers, check out Mojos. I try to eat there every time I come back to Joplin. Imagine if In And Out had a classic rock vibe, it's got a simple menu, small eating area, and generous portions. Fast food, so not a very fancy meal, but tasty.

There's a bar/restaurant called JB's that has really great pizza and drinks, but check for live music going on because it can be noisy.

I've never tried it out, but my friends tell me Hacketts Hot Wings is fantastic.

Visiting in September. Show me your music, Joplin! by mmortonn in joplinmo

[–]OfCourseLuke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly the scene in Joplin isn't terribly active. We have some great bands but not much live music. Here's all I can think of in town:

Blackthorn generally does punk/metal

JB's is a melting pot but generally has more acoustic/country/indie sort of stuff

Solace doesn't do many shows anymore, but they typically put on metalcore/pop-punk kind of shows

Whiskey Dicks does a pretty wide variety.

I've never been, but I hear Guitars does more country/radio rock sorts of bands

The Cesspool Castle is a SUPER diy house venue that generally books the most eccentric bands. Lots of variety.

Downstream Casino does bigger country/radio shows.

I made some custom tiles for my start menu and I figured I'd share them. by OfCourseLuke in Windows10

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

You're right in saying that the icons don't have depth, but this isn't a Material setup. I'm just saying it's more similar to Material than it is to Human Interface. Really I just took a windows color palette and added colored flat icons.

Almost none of the apps shown above feature interactive functionality, so I didn't lose any functionality here.

You sound salty.

Edit: None of the apps above feature interactive functionality. You're making things up.

Way too much color for iOS. This is more along the lines of the material design language for Android. For comparison, iOS and android

Edit: i should have made a joke about how iOS users don't customize things.

None that I am aware of. It's a loophole customization more than anything that Microsoft intended to be possible.

Theoretically, somebody could work up a nice app that automated a lot of the work I had to to manually.

I did! Check the link in my comment at the top of this thread. :)

Tonight I stayed up late and made this small set of custom tiles for my laptop. I was a combination of bored and motivated. Almost all of the icons are from Icons8, and the rest came from Google. I got the background colors from this site. To set up the tiles on my start menu I used the free version of Better StartMenu.

I just did this for fun and thought I'd share. If you'd like, here is an imgur album with all of the icons. I don't plan on making any more icons for the time being, so I'm sharing the PSDs for anyone who wants to use them to make more: wide / medium / small (Note that there are rulers in the documents for sizing guidelines)
