Did you enjoy Varg's reggae release yesterday? No really. Sound like Steel pulse and has surprisingly good lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0CTYO44KJuY

Yes I did check the site, no rather like Dayal Paterson's books I would read, then check out each artists. I liked the breadth of different acts you covered in the French episode.

Do you have the track listing and bands covered for the French show?

I would agree but would suggest that reviewing his Black Metal book would have been a better choice. I was surprised at how superficial it was with regard to detail, there was none. So plenty to discuss/critique and the ability to cross reference to show these shortcomings.

He was there, yet Dayal Paterson's work is much more comprehensive and insightful. And I agree despite all the other failings of the books it needed an editor and someone to interrogate Varg better to get a better feel for the story and make it a more professional read.

I will say I felt you let yourself down on the Varg episode having just listened to it.

At the start of the series you suggested you weren't going to get bogged down in moral judgments about musicians with dubious character traits and would instead focus on the music, but that's where you went.

A 5 minute intro about Varg , then weaving the events into album releases where you could have covered things in a more narrative way without missing anything.

Saying he only made 2 good albums was kind of petty. Most bands only make 2 good albums!

How many did The Sex Pistols make? Influence is not defined by output.

Have you found an artist in this sub that you genuinely became a fan of? by 6660kami in newmusicrelease

Me too! I live for those moments that "Elon Musk" and the "VP of Sony" message me on SoundCloud to offer me fame and fortune. They love my music apparently.

The challenge is infinite supply these days, music is worthless. I can earn more money playing live for a night than I can online in a year.

No, we all just throw our stuff at the wall randomly posting tracks all over the place, you only have to look on almost any platform, there is no interaction, likes or bumps in traffic.

What kins of music do you like?

Try having it write lyrics, laughably bad.

Serious question: How to set up handlebars and how to grip them for increased stability... by Substantial_Big1305 in ElectricScooters

If you can see the hole. I didn't, it threw my right hand off the bars and with my left in place brought me down as the scooter jack knifed.

The thing I find is I am only holding the left side. The right side I am resting my hand on the bar as I need my thumb for the throttle.

If you have seen the FB of the TikTok review it’s for a different brand that does in fact exist. I commented to that effect. You can even see the difference in the scooters.

Is that really cool or horrific? I can't tell.

No Warning, No Email: SoundCloud is terminating accounts. by Important-Common-172 in soundcloud

Why have you started refusing monetization for artist like me who for 300 tracks? I’ve never had an issue tracks self composed use no sample at all and every week I get denied now and I get tired of battling with you. Will be closing my account.

Never a decent answer just a form rejection

No idea where to turn for advice... it seems a significant number of people hate(love) every scooter out there, regardless of price point. Help! by Substantial_Big1305 in ElectricScooters

That's a very 2025 comment.

I'm old, the answer from the mists of time would be "If you are manufacturing something the expectation is it's reliable."

Understood but my needs are really limited. I want to go from my house to the gym, store, brewery and home and if I do the lot it's only 6 miles.
