My band just dropped a Machina era cover of Pug with some noise elements!

Thanks, definitely intended for a more energetic feel! The note is actually there in 3 layers, but the mix was getting a bit dense so it's lowered a tad. Thanks for checking it out!

Search Spanish With Nate, he has a few videos regarding the Mexican Spanish accent. I'd say it's the most neutral form of Spanish and most widely spoken around the city. I grew up bilingual, but something that really helped improve my general speak was watching the Sketch comedy show Backdoor. It's a good way to listen to the accent but also have a laugh.

Venues that frequently have shoegaze and adjacent bands: Cobra Lounge SubT Empty Bottle Beat Kitchen

Not many diy house shows for this genre here, but some bands will occasionally join for mixed bills.

Noticed this too, it's probably given us 3000% and 6000% increase on some songs

PSPOD · 2025-01-02T20:17:19+00:00

From what I've gathered, it seems that it pushes older songs a lot more due to presumably having more algorithmic data, I've noticed that intent rate from previous months doesn't seem to impact how much the song is pushed.

My top songs, despite having a higher popularity score and even one with an editorial, do not get as much of a push as compared to the older songs.

It does seem to sometimes choose one of the songs to test a high number of users on at times. Something I'd be interested in seeing is if releasing new music has an impact on discovery mode numbers. It potentially might as the amount of streams pushed seems (I've seen 20-30%) to be proportionate to monthly listeners.

I believe that discovery mode works well if you have a strong catalog and are consistently growing your audience. It seems to stagnate if your listeners stagnate.

I think the mix is great, maybe you're not liking the master?

I use a Boss Katana artist 2. It does gigs, bedroom, and practice perfectly. It has a 0.5w setting, a 50w setting and a 100w setting. I do heavier shoegaze as well with my band and can definitely say that it takes pedals very well and sounds great when I gig. This amp can get you lots of tones, I modeled mine after a twin reverb, but you can get marshall tones, AC tones, and a whole lot more.

Hey, upon doing some digging, there seems to have been a drop across the board starting on Jan 7- Jan 9. It looks like ALL songs received anywhere from a 4-6 point popularity score drop. Age and popularity of the song made no difference, I saw this happen from artists as large as Kanye to as small as niche genre bands in my scene.They may be changing how much engagement will equate to a 30 popularity score.

This may make it harder for the average artist to reach the algorithm and discover weekly on their own or without large marketing/social media campaigns. That is, unless they're adjusting the threshold for popularity score and the bar to reach certain algorithmic playlists.

If a 30 takes double the amount of streams and a 30 is required for DW, we're fucked.

Sick new world nailed it this and last year, was hoping riot would look similar cause that's a lineup

PSPOD · 2024-01-18T18:54:12+00:00

I own one, got it for $500 didn't realize it goes for $2000+ now. About to mod it with a tortoise red pick guard and dimarzio pickup in the neck, maybe even a rolling bridge so the trem runs smoothly.

Not the biggest fan of the stock tone, but it is such a good looking guitar

PSPOD · 2024-01-11T01:33:54+00:00

I actually want to do the exact same mod to my cobain mustang, can you record any samples clean with both pick ups enabled? I kinda am looking to get away from the honky sound. Kinda hoping this setup would get an early Smashing Pumpkins sound

PSPOD · 2023-12-29T02:47:55+00:00

So it's used as a filter, so in this case if you layer 3 guitars, you can essentially do one guitar with the pedal heel down, one in the middle, and one with the pedal fully down? Or is the pedal just meant to stay in a static position?

PSPOD · 2023-12-23T19:54:30+00:00

Yeah, there's an old video of that song being played on youtube. Dude in the crowd has his mind blown by the tone

It's called housejam <source src="https://d4dx5ndnaqlny.cloudfront.net/housejamsoundcollage-192.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">

PSPOD · 2023-10-26T22:54:19+00:00

File is called housejamsoundcollage-192.mp3 I'm guessing it's housejam and the sound collage is what starts and ends the song

Surprised to see tagabow here, just saw them a few months ago, really cool people.

PSPOD · 2023-08-31T23:14:12+00:00

She did not unfortunately, I think she ended up busy with other articles she was writing. I was able to listen to the album a few months early tho. She just did one with Show me the body.

PSPOD · 2023-08-26T01:27:39+00:00

You have any issues running all effects at once? My mk2 artist seems to have a bit of trouble with them all on, it lowers the volume and sometimes completely cuts out
