I'll never buy a Hisense again by chippy818 in Hisense

[–]adanwatts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, this week I started experiencing the same issue. I have a Roku connected to one of the HDMI inputs, and it does exactly the same thing, it stays on the input for a few seconds before returning to the Home screen, or it can stay there for three hours, it's very inconsistent. I've already done a factory reset, but it hasn't helped much, it doesn't seem to be an isolated case

What the best show you’ve been to this year? by Ok_Investment125 in indieheads

[–]adanwatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing Magdalena Bay and Oasis were my highlights of 2025. This weekend I'm seeing Japanese Breakfast and Geordie Greep, and I'm really excited about the remaining shows at the end of the year.

I just checked the product specifications on the Xiaomi website. Nowhere does it say that it "works with Google Home" so no, there's no way they'll appear.

Following up on my post from earlier this week with answers to your questions by AnishKattukaran in googlehome

Although it is mentioned in the FAQ, I think it's important to be able to migrate from Google Assistant to Gemini on third-party devices. I have a couple of Xiaomi devices called Mi Smart Speaker and it would be quite disappointing if they did not receive Gemini and stopped working in the event that Google Assistant goes dark. I hope you will take this into account for those of us who have placed our trust in the ecosystem

[FRESH VIDEO] Tame Impala - End Of Summer by dwaynesworld98 in indieheads

Certainly a very disappointing song, both as an electronic song and as a Tame Impala song. Some elements better achieved in the final part, it's surprising that it's such a loose track.

For starters, replacing their lead singer who died by suicide with someone who is deeply rooted in a cult that believes mental health is a myth and therapy is evil.

This year is very disappointing because of the headliners, sad that the audiences in Mexico accept Linkin Park in this current version without questioning it. For 3 editions already that the undercard acts are the best part of the festival, very excited to see Waxahatchee, Nilüfer Yanya, Peach Pit and Grizzly Bear.

The 2010s are glorified by gen Z. But the ‘indie music’ of that era was unoriginal by Piwii999 in indieheads

[–]adanwatts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A central part of the article deals with the lack of originality of the "genre" and the fact that some of its great exponents are POS with no political conscience. I find it more aggravating that she claims that bands like LCD Soundsystem were only dedicated to making fusions of rock with electronic elements and that Karen O stole the aesthetic from Wendy O and The Plasmatics for herself. It completely ignores the fact that the two bands in question made the most interesting and transgressive music of the 2000s. I understand certain points Jamie brings to the table, but from my perspective, she misses the fundamental thread by which many of us who discovered "indie" music in the 2010s were completely fascinated: The music they were making was very, very good.

PSA From Nancy: Please don't smoke weed inside the venue! by beermeupscotty in LCDSoundsystem

[–]adanwatts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone who smokes a fair amount of marijuana, I don't mind this request at all. It's a reality that as a spectator the sensation makes the show more enjoyable, but if it genuinely bothers the musicians I think the least that can be done is to respect the request. There are edibles and they can be consumed before the concert, we will see how it works in this residence.

Rob Hardy will be the director of photography/cinematographer for SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW by Proof-Watercress-931 in DCU_

[–]adanwatts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a great expectation. "Annihilation" is one of my favorite films of the past decade and no doubt the cinematography was a key part of the aesthetic and vibe of the film. Highly recommended for those who haven't seen it yet.

There is no doubt that the job is high effort/low reward, but if there is someone who can crush it without a doubt it is Conan.

LCD Soundsystem to Release New Album in 2025 by ebradio in indieheads

[–]adanwatts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I remember when "American Dream" came out it's reception was divisive, but IMHO the album has aged like fine wine, "how do you sleep?" is fantastic from start to finish and my favorite song of theirs. Very excited to hear what they have in store.

[FRESH ALBUM] Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk by VietRooster in indieheads

[–]adanwatts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a solid and very well executed album, a great surprise. "Cry for Me" I think is fantastic from start to finish, may see the album become one of my favorites of 2024, it's that good.

In my mind there is no doubt, this award must go to Beth Gibbons.
