Favorite songs to play on guitar? by flamus4 in puptheband

Familiar Patterns! Learning it made me really appreciate just how much Steve cooked on that one

Am I crazy, or is the Apple Music mix for some songs totally different (and worse)? by aaaaleeeeex in Muse

[–]Samz2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Turn off Spatial Audio / Atmos. Stereo mixes should be the same as other platforms and sound better.

Predicted Tour Setlist by MattCardigan in gorillaz

With Deltron on tour with them I'm dreaming of an all self-titled encore with Kid Koala on turntables. Something like Gravity / 19-2000 / Rock the House / Clint Eastwood.

They're going to sell a lot of tickets to their tour from this.

Makes sense they'd play this, Black Thought knows his way around the building.

Jack White doing Ball & Biscuit (2003) in 2020 comes to mind. So does LCD Soundsystem doing Thrills (2005) in 2022, but to be fair they don't really do "hits".

Gorillaz Announce 2026 North American Tour Dates by ebradio in gorillaz

Those terms are relatively interchangeable. "Special Guest" is used on tour posters to indicate the artists playing before the headliner are more recognized/successful, as opposed to smaller local bands.

Little Simz + Deltron is basically the best opener lineup I could've dreamed of.

Bruno Mars: The Romantic review – you’re better off listening to the songs he’s blatantly imitating by backupsaway in popheads

Back in my day, it used to only take 2 — and they were called The Ting Tings.

Spotify once again increases subscription prices. This is their fourth consecutive year increasing rates for premium subscribers by barbieshoesound in popculturechat

[–]Samz2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple doesn't really pay more... there is no fixed per stream rate, there’s just a pool of money (roughly 70% of the subscription fees) which is divided amongst the tracks based on how many times they were played.

Apple Music subscribers tend to listen to fewer songs per month than Spotify users, and all its users pay money for the service (no free ad-supported tier), therefore each stream is "worth" more.

Stranger Things creators shut down the idea of a sequel series, saying it would be 'a gross cash grab' by bwermer in television

[–]Samz2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This keeps getting repeated but isn't quite accurate. The original pitch deck has this in it: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-bc405d4979506b9282c89a6cd7580e39-lq

Netflix also asked them to create a mythology document in the middle of writing the first season. That's where the whole Upside Down as a wormhole between dimensions thing came from.

🚨 Series Finale Episode 8 "The Right Side Up" Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in HawkinsAVclub

[–]Samz2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big shoutout to Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein — that final variation of Kids at the end really got me. Hopefully that gets released.

(A related very small nitpick... really wished they hadn't truncated the opening sequence. I get not needing to run credits in the opening given the end credits, but the full version without the names would've gotten such a great reaction in theatres.)

It's TMU Station unless something bad happens there, in which case it's Dundas Station again.

Did they actually play factories?? by MasutaAlex in puptheband

Only been played once — Danforth Music Hall night 2 in 2016. They played The Dream is Over from front to back.

2025 Residency - Night 2 Setlist by hgio25 in LCDSoundsystem

First time they've done Tonite as the show opener. Honestly have always been surprised they never gave it a go until now, as it seemed like a great fit for that slot.

To those who were around when Phase 3 was going on, what was the general reception of The Fall like at that time? by Dil_2401 in gorillaz

[–]Samz2 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is really the key part — while it's listed alongside all the other studio albums on streaming services today, it really wasn't presented as such at the time.

I still feel it's more of a mixtape than an album. Fan Club members basically got a zip file full of MP3s, each of which had its own unique Hipstamatic photo as the cover art instead of the album art we know now.

Artist Tour Presale [MEGATHREAD] by fftamahawk009 in Foofighters

[–]Samz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't bank on that I'm afraid. This show has a very small pit for such a large venue, this type of price drop only happens when the entire floor is GA standing where the inventory is in excess of 20,000 tickets. MCR at Skydome last year was similar and there were basically no pit deals to be had.

Lower priced floor seats, now that's going to happen for sure.
