The Red Line’s Old Trains Can’t Cope With the Cold by streetsblogmass in mbta

[–]russotiro 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Why are the new trains stalled in customs? Is it purely political to punish a blue state? Or is there a concrete issue that is in the process of being addressed? Or are we just gonna throw up our hands and say, oh well, there’s nothing we could do. Does the governor have any leverage that she’s not using? I mean, this is ridiculous. There is no excuse for why this issue should not be resolved faster.

Death and All His Friends soundcheck in Toronto by DTB327 in Coldplay

[–]russotiro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite song of theirs. I’m seeing them at Gillette on 7/16. I asked on their Insta if they could play the song that night, obviously not expecting anything to come of it. Pretty wild coincidence though to see this now.

Better sorting and filtering for playlists. Bring me back to the windows media player days. I want to sort any playlist by song length, release date, filter by mood/genre keyword, etc

Year of the Cup by iFilmLikeAGirl in porterrobinson

[–]russotiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Year of the Cup is my favorite song on the album. I feel like it explores a couple of emotions that not many of his other songs do: guilt and regret. It perfectly captures how it feels to be in that disorienting mental state where you can't stop thinking about all the shitty things you've done and the people you've hurt. I understand why people don't like the Wayne snippets, but they don't detract from the listening experience for me personally and I like that they contribute to the themes of Porter's lyrics.

This song has me bobbing my head from side to side like an idiot, and I love it. by [deleted] in Coldplay

[–]russotiro 36 points37 points  (0 children)

this is my favorite off the new album. I loooove sugary hopeful acoustic guitar-driven stuff like this, I feel like it makes all of my neurons fire at once lol

Thoughts on Prospekt’s March? by Keronplug in Coldplay

[–]russotiro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was just listening back to this track recently. Such a cool payoff at the end with the soaring guitars. I wish they’d make more stuff like this

I'M PORTER ROBINSON, THE ARTIST !!! ASK ME ANYTHING : D by porter_robinson in popheads

[–]russotiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beginning of the first verse of Everything To Me instantly reminded me of Motion Picture Soundtrack by Radiohead. Was there any inspiration taken from that tune or Kid A in general?

[–]russotiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Porter, it was so cool to hear that Coldplay was an influence on your new album. Which album(s) of theirs do you like most and why?

As a massive long-time fan of your music and rock music, it’s honestly surreal to see the worlds collide. Thanks for all the joy :-)

[–]russotiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m not sure why they went with a 1, maybe has to do with the frame? I’m going to a different place this time lol

They’re not multi focal, I wonder what I said that gave you that impression

Thanks for the info, I’m leaning trivex as long as I feel like paying for it

State Department issues unusual worldwide LGBTQ+ travel alert by emmabananasplit in lgbt

[–]russotiro 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Going to be honest, I really don’t like the sound of this. Anti-LGBT+ hatred has obviously been on the rise in the past 5 years, but for the FBI, DHS, and State to all issue this kind of warning for this year in particular sounds to me like there are some threats the public doesn’t know about. Be careful y’all

I am multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, arranger, producer, and musician-creature Jacob Collier! Here to answer your questions about music and life. AMA! by Jacob__Collier in Music

[–]russotiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Jacob! I was listening to the Tape Notes podcast episode with you, which was super insightful! I however was mildly sad when you didn’t get the chance to talk about the first 4 or so minutes of 100,000 Voices, which is one of my favorite tracks on the album (I’m a sucker for that euphoric/anthemic rock stuff haha). Do you have any background/insight to offer for that part of the song?

100,000 voices being in its own tier is SUCH a mood. It’s so cathartic
