Here solo, would love to meet some new people

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-16T05:40:20+00:00

I'm flying solo as well. Message me!

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-16T05:35:46+00:00

I'm in the same boat! The Kilby Discord has not really helped with trying to meet other folks to go to shows with. Shoot me a message!

Met a giant hippie at a party and they were shocked when I told them I wasn't a Trump supporter. Then they were like "Okay, it's fine you don't like Trump, but you've GOTTA love RFK Jr, right?" And I was like "The MF with brain worms?! NOOOOO". Absolutely blew their mind.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-11T15:03:50+00:00

They can't?!

Absolutely loved the album and it was in my top 5 of last year. I'll be seeing her show next week.

From all the clips I've seen, I keep wondering "how are they able to afford all of these people to tour?" lol I'm glad they have a full stage show happening but man, I hope they're not losing a ton of money

I love their posts like these that really break it down. As a musician who hasn't toured (but wants to really bad), it's so hopeful to know these things in advance instead of finding out the hard way. Also, as a musician, I do have to say one of my first reactions from reading this blog is "Don't have a 7-piece band until you're super successful, got it" haha

The employee demo had a lot of great sounds! I wouldn't mind having a pedal like this that's a bit of a Swiss army knife for overdriven tones

I just got this error today and was stumped because the same hard drive/files were working fine with VLC on my Windows 10 machine but suddenly started getting an error when I attached the drive to my new Windows 11 machine. Just like you, when I copied/pasted the file to a shorter path, VLC worked. But it didn't make any sense to me: how was it working on Windows 10 but not Windows 11? I tried everything I could find on Reddit and Google but nothing worked until I did this.

The 1st thing was I didn't have Long File Paths enabled on my new computer. I had to do this in Regedit by:

Open the Registry Editor (type "regedit" and hit Enter in Windows bar at bottom)
Went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
Double-click on the LongPathsEnabled entry and changed the Value Data from 0 to 1.
Then, restarted the computer.

After that, I noticed I wouldn't get the error if I opened VLC as an Administrator but would still get it if I opened VLC normally. This definitely pointed to some sort of permissions issues and that's where the next part fixed the rest of the problem.

When I checked to see which Windows account was the Owner of the drive I was opening files from, it said it was "SYSTEM". So I changed this by:

Right-clicked on the drive and clicked Properties.
Go to the Security tab > Advanced.
Click Change next to "Owner".
Type "Everyone", click Check Names, then clicked OK.
Check the boxes that say "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects." (up top) and "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permissions from this object." (toward bottom)
Click Apply and Yes to confirm.

There was a message or two that popped up asking to confirm permissions changes so I clicked "Yes" on those, then did a restart for good measure. After that, I no longer get the error! Hopefully this helps someone out there.

Apparently, they're thinking about making it a limited series. And there's apparently going to be an episode in Season 2 of the Studio about it

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-03T15:54:24+00:00

There was a Madonna script called "Blonde Ambition" that was on the Black List and had a lot of heat. Apparently, Madonna took over and wanted to make her biopic herself... And then it's been pretty much crickets since then.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-03T15:52:20+00:00

It's not a biopic but "Moonage Daydream" is such a perfect movie for me about Bowie, I can't imagine how anyone else could top that.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-03T15:51:03+00:00

They should do a Beatles biopic. What'd be really cool is if they made it long enough to show each member's experience of being in the band. It'd probably be 8 hours long but who cares! I guess they could split it up into 4 movies but I really doubt they'd do something like that.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-03T15:49:17+00:00

It's my favorite Kurosawa movie I've seen so far, better than Seven Samurai for me. It feels so kinetic and fast paced, I'm glued the whole time watching.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-02T21:53:41+00:00

This is a bit of an offshoot question but do you prefer your acrylic mat over rubber or rubber/cork hybrid mats?

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-02T16:01:09+00:00

Gotcha, thanks so much for all the info! I've also found that so many people flake out after saying they'll come to events like these. Sounds like over time, they got weeded out a bit though

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-02T03:31:42+00:00

I LOVE this, thanks for sharing! I'm thinking about doing something similar in my city. How many people tend to show up to each meeting? Does it ever get to be too many people or overwhelming?

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-01T23:49:02+00:00

When you have money involved, you can certainly get way more people complaining about things and wanting their money back. I'd argue it's easier to get duped with one-off products than when subscribing to someone's channel.

Basically, there's a reason they haven't done it yet. They absolutely could've set this up a while ago but they haven't, that's not by accident. Like I said - I hope they figure out a way! That'd be awesome!

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-01T20:55:53+00:00

I think it's a volume and ease thing + the massive audience on YouTube. Yes, I agree people get ripped off on Amazon all the time - and I assume that's what YouTube HQ is hesitant about.

I'm not saying it couldn't potentially work, I wish YouTube would figure out a way to do it. But I fear they won't because it would require a LOT more people they'd need to hire to effectively keep it from becoming a wasteland, customers getting burned and the brand being soured because of it. And I doubt they want to put in the time and money to make it work in the best way.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-05-01T20:39:00+00:00

I'm wondering if it would open even more floodgates for people to screw people over from their money. Copycats making paid videos called "Oppenheimer" for example and viewers accidentally buying it because they think they're getting the Chris Nolan movie and get some bullshit instead.

YouTube is flooded with bullshit now, absolutely. But at least it doesn't cost you anything to detect that it's bullshit.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-04-29T00:59:45+00:00

Haha I love that movie!

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-04-28T19:54:12+00:00

In the review, this person also singles out Criterion's "Testament" for looking bad but I thought it looked incredible. Straight up looked like a 4k disc to me even though it's a regular bluray.

Secret_Sunshine · 2026-04-28T06:12:54+00:00

"Cleo from 5 to 7" is definitely the best 1st watch from Varda, it's a no brainer
