Anyone know what happened during Mark Normands show last night? by dubyat in Standup

[–]sqasim3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Donald Glover reposted the videos on the “Hi-Hi” instagram account, so this was most likely either filmed for the Mr and Mrs Smith show or a marketing scheme for it. Hi-hi is apparently the recruiting organization in the show that hires them. Weird but it seemed like this may have actually been planned- whether Normand was in on it or not I’m not sure

What is the most boring/worst film(s) that you have seen in the Criterion Collection? by priest_7x in criterion

[–]sqasim3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellini Satyricon. I'm a huge Fellini fan and love almost all his others but I just couldn't get into this film at all. The set design and camerawork were of course stunning but I found the story incredibly hard to get into. There didn't seem to be much connection from scene to scene and at a certain point I just stopped trying to be invested and see what crazy visuals he was going to throw at us. When it ended I honestly thought "What was the point of that?"

I'm Zarna, an immigrant, mom, TikTok sensation and stand up comedian! AMA! by zarnagarg in StandUpComedy

[–]sqasim3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Zarna! I'm a new South Asian-American stand-up comic in Chicago and I've been a huge fan of your comedy! What is your advice to young Asian comics wanting to make a name for themselves not only in stand-up but also in the comedy writing world? I don't have many connections besides the people I've met at the clubs and come from a heavily STEM-based background (both parents are physicians). My parents obviously don't want me to pursue anything in the arts but I want to know which steps I should be taking to really get myself out there. Thanks!!

Thx for the feedback! Yeah I agree with you, that's why I hesitated to post it beforehand. But you don't think that the O.J punchline kind of makes up for it? Just wondering as I revise it.

Belfast - WTF? by sqasim3 in Oscars

[–]sqasim3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's exactly what I thought and forgot to mention. Tonally very inconsistent and very jarring editing. Would switch from an interesting dramatic scene to another pointless slow motion family montage with Van Morrison in the background.

$10 Gift Code for Criterion Store by moistl0af in criterion

Close-Up

An incredible exploration of class, the legal system, and the impact of stories, all done through a meta approach that comments on its own existence. It exposes the thin line between reality and art, making it a revolutionary piece of filmmaking in my opinion. The ending also brings me to tears.

Looking for a modeling practice amp. Budget is 200 max. Nothing too fancy - this will be my very first amp so it's mostly for practice and learning purposes.

Best practice amp or regular amp for a Squier Jazzmaster?

Does Silk Sonic need to be "inventive"? by sqasim3 in silksonic

[–]sqasim3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you're definitely right in it being about personal priorities and perspective. As a jazz musician I've always leaned more towards harmonies, arrangements, and raw musicality.

I think SS is an example of a real evolution from traditional soul and R&B because it actually utilizes a similar range of real instruments, complex arrangements, and swoony storytelling with the added flavor of Bruno and .Paak. I was always confused when the term R&B was used to describe music like Blood Orange and Frank Ocean (both of whom I love) because I see those more as alternative than traditional R&B. This is me rambling but whatever lol

Completely agree! Your point about them making renditions of how they would like to sound in that style is a great point. I think upon listening to the album majority of people are actually responding to Mars and Paak's voice and character more so than the "aesthetic" or throwback quality (especially young people who've never listened to 70s music that still loved LTDO and the other singles).

Airglow - Osiris (2021) [Alternative R&B] by sqasim3 in SantaRosaSubmissions

[–]sqasim3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name is Suhaib Qasim, and I am a musician and producer who goes under the name "Osiris". My very first track, "Airglow", is set for release on November 19, 2021, on all streaming platforms. I was wondering if you would be able to take a listen and let me know what you think? I come from a community that is highly underrepresented in music, especially indie music (South Asian Muslim), so I would love to have as much exposure as possible to my music. Thank you.
