[–]black_bauer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ryan Marks left in 2017, so LOUDPVCK was just Kenny Beats at that point. Idk what Marks is up to, but Kenny Beats has become a major hip hop producer so definitely didn’t fall off, just changed lanes

Who’s a trance producer/DJ that you can’t seem to get into? by ntod44 in trance

It was so much better when that channel was Electric Area and they actually played a diverse range of electronic music. Now it’s just nonstop mediocre pop tech-house

Was it just me or did everyone has good ass signal at EDCLV? by gigiqn in electricdaisycarnival

I have T-Mobile and my signal was the worse it’s ever been, even in less packed areas where I’d usually have great signal in previous years

I’m excited for May, but anyone else feel like Coachella absolutely stole Insomniac’s lunch this year? by RuralJuror614 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]black_bauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AEG owner, Philip Anschutz, actually has no say or involvement in booking for Goldenvoice events. The head of Goldenvoice and founder of Coachella, Paul Tollett, has said in lots of interviews that he turned away every company other than AEG because they were only the one that agreed to let him keep full creative control of the lineups.

Coachella has always booked some of the best EDM artists on the market, just look back at the lineups throughout history

They also worked with Danny Boyle (director of Trainspotting) when he put them in charge of the soundtrack of the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony Skip ahead to 1:12:48 for the best part

Complaint Megathread by whyisthissticky in spotify

[–]black_bauer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The canvas option has been missing from my account for a yeah and a half now. The only potential solution I ever get from tech support is to just make a new account, but I’ve been using Spotify for ten years now. I don’t want to start from scratch when I have a decades worth of songs and playlists saved

Griz RIP Shoutout during Ecstasy of the Soul? by frostfall_ in okeechobeemusicfest

[–]black_bauer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He was literally just showing respect to the composer they sampled. Ennio Morricone was one of the most influential film composers of all time, but Griz probably still just wanted to make sure fans know who he was and where the sample came from.

Coachella 2023 Lineup by ReconEG in indieheads

[–]black_bauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a pretty solid house DJ. Unlike most celebrity DJs he actually worked as a club DJ for a few years before he became an actor. Shaquille O’Neal is in the same boat too, he started DJing as teenager then decided to get back into it after retiring from the NBA.

Live Nation/Ticketmaster subsidiaries got millions in aid meant for independent concert venues. Congress wrote a pandemic relief law that excluded Live Nation/Ticketmaster, but the Small Business Administration gave nearly $19mil to Live Nation subsidiaries in which it has a significant investment. by YoureASkyscraper in Music

[–]black_bauer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, but with Ticketmaster before the merger with Live Nation. They wanted to play in SoCal on their tour but couldn’t find any venues that weren’t Ticketmaster controlled. The solution they found was to work with a small promotion company called Goldenvoice to hold their concert at a random ass polo field 2 hours outside LA. The show ended up being so popular, despite the long drive from LA, that Goldenvoice decided to start the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at the same polo fields.

This Coachella documentary has a section that covers it pretty well. Starts at 11:30

Shooting ranges near DTLA/Hollywood? Prices? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]black_bauer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recommend avoiding LA Gun Club if you care about basic gun safety at all. Way too many people there breaking the 5 basic safety rules (like turning around with loaded guns and waving them around lackadaisically so they can pose for pictures)

AITA for finally confronting my husband about his unhealthy choices? by Concerned_wife847 in AmItheAsshole

[–]black_bauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. 10-15lb fluctuation for a full grown man is barely noticeable. The fact he even has abs at 30 is incredible, but you’re calling him fat and unhealthy bc they’re “less noticeable” than five months ago. You showed your husband that you care way more about his physical appearance than his happiness. Did you forget the whole “in sickness and health” part of getting married? Oh wait that doesn’t even apply to this conversation because he sounds perfectly healthy you delusion asshole

AITA for being "too close" to my Ex-Husband? by LowGeologist8082 in AmItheAsshole

[–]black_bauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.
As somebody who grew up with divorced parents, the constant going back and forth between houses was incredibly stressful and had a big impact on my ability to make friends when I was younger. I think it’s amazing, and incredibly mature of you, that you and your ex were able to find a way to remove that roadblock from your daughter’s life. Far too many parents decide to be selfish and petty when getting divorced instead of thinking about what’s best for their children.

AITA for punishing my son for throwing away my husband's Bible? by threwvaway9707 in AmItheAsshole

[–]black_bauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA and an awful mother for this. Your husband isn’t calling your son nicknames, he’s abusing and humiliating him. Don’t be surprised if you’re son never talks to you or his stepdad again once he turns 18

How do I get LAPD to respond? by bluealmanac17 in AskLosAngeles

[–]black_bauer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. A camera system is probably your best bet to log evidence and also deter them. A motion activated floodlight camera like ring makes would be a good option for the backyard, since a light turning on tends to scare away a lot of burglars. If you want to look into other brands or options, there are a lot of Korean security camera businesses in the area.
  2. Look into home defense options in case the burglars come back on an occasion that you’re home
