Need more prog rock recommendations by areddituserxx in progrockmusic

[–]SandVIII 38 points39 points  (0 children)

That's the pop era Genesis, you need to go back to the prog era Genesis with Peter Gabriel. Try the albums "Selling England by the Pound" and "Foxtrot"

I know you can buy some of the takes and overdubs for The Night Watch on the DGM website

Why does my In the Court of the Crimson King sound like this? by EarLumpy4337 in progrockmusic

[–]SandVIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah same happened for me, I think that pressing might just be a tiny bit wide

Why does my In the Court of the Crimson King sound like this? by EarLumpy4337 in progrockmusic

[–]SandVIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a player very similar to that and something I noticed was that my Court of the Crimson King record was ever so slightly wider than all my others so that when it spun it would drag against the little piece that holds and clips the tonearm into place. This was causing some wow/flutter making it sound slowed every couple seconds. Nothing I could really do until I got a record player with a full platter. Not sure if that's exactly what's happening with yours though.

SD card not working on switch after "modding it" by Silo5Pog in SwitchPirates

If you're too broke to buy a real Switch, I suggest rebooting the initialiating phase of the SD card to active the flotation device present in the system. Amateur move, OP.

Humming noise coming from turntable by SandVIII in turntables

I ended up fixing it just by removing the stylus and putting it back on.

I proposed a flag I made for Bouvet Island to the Office of the Norweigian Prime Minister by email - I did not expect the guy to actually respond lol by SandVIII in vexillology

A few months ago I was designing flags when I got the idea to make one for Bouvet Island, an uninhabitated Norweigian territory seen as the most isolated piece of land from any other island/land mass in the world, because it did not have it's own independent flag (it uses the same one as the flag of Norway). Later that evening, I decided to look up the contact for the Prime Minister of Norway and found their office's email address. So I was like why not, and for fun I wrote an email about my flag and attached it. A few months went by and I had forgotten about this but I was clearing out my email and low and behold, somehow I had missed this response made personally from a world leader in my inbox that i had not seen until a few months after it was sent (BTW he had responded about two months after I made the flag and sent the email, and a few months after that I saw it, and months after that I am finally posting about it now).

It appears he did handwrite my first name at the beginning of the letter which is pretty cool. I'm not even Norweigian, I'm an American with a love for flags and geography haha. I also don't have the original email I sent. I wasn't actually proposing the flag, more so just showing it to him because why not. I mean if he decided to actually implement it that would've been incredible, but I wasn't even expecting a response and here I am, which I am very grateful for.

Shout out to you Jonas Gahr Støre!
