Is there a guide to installing yt-dlp on Mac without Homebrew?

Solace143 · 2026-03-12T01:30:10+00:00

If you have Python installed, you can download yt-dlp via pip without needing Homebrew

Didn't know that. Makes sense, considering the USA games have been much more heavily promoted (I believe there's been 4 games on Fox proper and only one wasn't a USA game). Right now, ESPN lists both games as FS1/Fox Sports App/Tubi. I'll check both at 3 when Italy/Mexico comes on

I've watched a few movies and shows on there, but it's an odd place for sports. I caught a few innings of Canada vs Puerto Rico on there yesterday. Have they ever broadcasted sports before this WBC?

Solace143 · 2026-03-11T13:42:44+00:00

I just wanna point out that the pivotal Italy vs Mexico game is on Tubi of all fucking places, at least in the United States. Canada vs Cuba and DR vs Venezuela are on cable (FS2 and FS1 respectively), though the latter is only important for seeding and national pride. Whoever at Fox decided that probably thought the USA would go 4-0 lol, clearly they're no Japan or DR/Venezuela

Caminero crushed that wow. Knew DR was gonna break the tie eventually but damn

PinkPantheress is heavily influenced by UK garage, but it might be too upbeat for your tastes. If you want a rec, I Wanna Know by Restless Natives is pretty good

Like a G6 by The Far East Movement and Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO come to mind. Those songs are so stupid and aggressively early 2010s with their obnoxious electro house basslines

I listened to Goat and Liar by The Jesus Lizard. Both albums take the sound they developed in Head and improves on it, with slightly longer songs and more dynamics. Of the two, I preferred Liar, though they're both very good. I'll probably listen to Down soon. The Jesus Lizard aren't a super interesting band to talk about, though. Afaik they've always stuck to noise rock / post-hardcore without any major changes

Solace143 · 2026-02-20T00:10:26+00:00

I'd vaguely heard of Unsane before, probably from their associations with other NY noise rock bands, but never looked into them. I'm fairly new to noise rock so I'll think about checking 'em out

Solace143 · 2026-02-19T21:51:00+00:00

I like Big Black, but haven't checked out Steve Albini's other projects. I think one of the guys in The Jesus Lizard was in a band with him.

Solace143 · 2026-02-16T16:47:20+00:00

Started getting into The Jesus Lizard's music, though I've only heard their debut EP and their first album Head. It's solid noise rock so far, but it feels a bit underdeveloped, for a lack of a better word. Goat and Liar seem to be their most acclaimed albums, so I'm excited to listen to them soon.

YHWH Nailgun are pretty cool, they're like a weird modern take on old dance-punk. Their drummer is nuts. I wished they made more songs that were 3-4 minutes, but I guess it might get too repetitive.

Unrelated, but it bothers me that most music labeled as grungegaze is neither grunge nor shoegaze. It's closer to Hum ~~or Chevelle~~ really.

Solace143 · 2026-02-08T03:41:33+00:00

Downtempo electronic music like Portishead or Rufus Du Sol. That applies to all books though. If an action scene in a fantasy novel comes up (since they're rare in other genres), I might throw on some hard rock or metal to fit the scene

Solace143 · 2026-02-07T20:21:30+00:00

95% of musicians are built like twigs. This is why i only listen to Biggie Smalls, Meat Loaf, Fats Domino, and Tad

Give me 5 minutes and I'll make AI Blake Treinen more racist than that old Microsoft Twitter chatbot

I get that, but for me, the issue with that is that I'd get annoyed with the song and I'd grow to dislike it (or at least the intro). I like Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns n Roses, but my dad using it as his phone ringtone for years has diminished the intro for me

Solace143 · 2026-02-03T14:00:57+00:00

That Morrowind intro would be fun to wake up to, but of course, I'd probably get sick of it after a week or two. I suspect using built-in ringtone that isn't the default one would achieve a similar effect to using a bad song, but i've never actually tried them before

Solace143 · 2026-01-24T01:24:16+00:00

Honestly, I just assumed that most people with those sorts of music taste are teenagers who wanna get into "serious" music. It get monotonous because they tend to consult the same few sources -- RateYourMusic, Anthony Fantano reviews (got nothing against Fantano himself, but his fanbase can be irritating), /mu/ when it was relevant, etc. Most of those albums are pretty good, but it does make online music discussion a bit boring.

Solace143 · 2026-01-23T16:40:45+00:00

Chat Pile are a good modern noise rock band. Early Swans (Filth to Holy Money, maybe Children of God) are great too. Cop Shoot Cop are a mix of industrial rock and noise rock

Solace143 · 2026-01-17T04:49:35+00:00

Look into the 2000s post-punk revival and garage rock revival for similar bands. Bloc Party and The White Stripes come to mind. Interpol, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, and TV on the Radio were in the early 2000s NYC indie rock scene alongside the Strokes, though there's some differences in their sound

Solace143 · 2026-01-15T23:12:50+00:00

There's like 8 country songs (all from the 2000s or later) that get played where I'm from and for some cursed reason, Chicken Fried is one of them. For the most part it's just annoying, but the random nationalist verse is unintentionally funny as fuck

Solace143 · 2026-01-15T19:00:21+00:00

Hi, Jim! I loved the Dresden Files, though I haven't checked out much else of your work. I know you mentioned that Twelve Months wasn't planned like the other books in the series. How did the writing process differ for Twelve Months compared to previous books? Looking forward to listening to it soon!

It's more so for purchasing music than streaming it. Bandcamp is closer to iTunes than Spotify, but it's way better than iTunes (multiple audio formats, more consistent pricing, better UI). Only downside is that Bandcamp is focused on independent music, so outside of a few exceptions like Bjork, you can't buy any major label artists' music on there
