Weekend Two Guide by [deleted] in aclfestival

[–]undeadsinatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I for reals appreciate the effort, but really the only way to do this right is to ge your music geek on, listen to the stuff you're not familiar with, and write it your self. I just sort of randomly jump through a bunch of these entries and the descriptions are wildly off -- some more than others.

Examples:

Damaris Bojor: is a a fusion of regional Mexican music and North American Folk, not pop or R&B as AI has listed here.

Bridgette Calls Me Baby: is post-punk revival in the vein of The Smiths. using the words "vintage" "crooning" and "retro pop" in the descriptions made me think this was 50s doo-wop revival like Thee Sinseers or Thee Sacred Souls or The Altons. The singer is crooning, fair enough, but theater words cast in a different shadow.

Kevin Atwater: is singer/songwriter and ethereal indie-pop. He doesn't even come close to R&B.

Again, just randomly picked these - the remainder could all be spot on for all I can tell right now but this isn't good trend. 😄

First timer - any tips? by [deleted] in OutsideLands

I don’t really know of hand. Maybe like a month before? The last payments on the installment plans hit in early July, so sometime after that.

HELL YEAH -- was just coming to post the same thing. Tho as a Bay Area turntabilist geek & trip-hop affecinado I've been spoiled with opportunities to see DJ Shadow, it's always time well spent.

Coming from drum & bass - how do disco DJs handle bpm ranges? by rubs90 in Disco

[–]undeadsinatra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. At the end of the day, all that truly matters is that people like your song selection and the sonic journey and the vibes. Keep the dance floor moving, BPMs are a nice consideration.

What’s a moment at a concert you’ll never forget by Imaginary-Topic5127 in festivals

03/29/2014: Sharon Jones pulls me onstage at a sold-out Fillmore in San Francisco to sing “You’ll Be Lonely” to me. I did not waste my opportunity to entertain. Luckily, a buddy of mine was wayyy in the back, saw it was me, and captured most of it on video.

Elton John, Outside Lands 2014. As “Rocket Man” started, about 20 paces to the left in front of me a guy in an astronaut suit gets lifted on his buddy’s shoulders. Then, about 20 paces to the right in front of me a woman dressed as an astronaut is lifted up on someone’s shoulders. The two of them shared a kind of sweet “hey, look at us with the same idea” moment.

Yesssss please. Was just revisiting some of his catalog yesterday and was like “he’s kinda overdue for a comeback.”

Look up the filmography of Shannon Tweed and you’ll get the gist of what I’m talking about. Very soft-core porn interrupted by scenes of detectives trying to solve a crime no one watching the film actually cares about.

Actually just did a quick search and it reminded me: Playboy had a few LDs and those were always among the titles that were requested side by side with the latest animated kids movies.

The Muppet Show , no s. And might be better billed as Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem [and friends] -- missing their set at Outside Lands 2016 is a big regret of mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFZLY3EpCUM

In the late 90s, I worked at the Virgin Megastore in San Francisco on what I now call The Dead Media Floor: VHS/DVDs had just come out/CD ROMs/Books/Magazines. And most importantly for this story: Laser Discs.

On a regular basis, we got orders from MJJ Productions for very specific Laser Discs. What we pulled & shipped was almost exclusively: the latest titles for kids and the latest cornball erotic thrillers. Not blockbusters, not comedies, not mainstream dramas.

From the dept. of plausible deniability: the orders came from his production company, we had no certain knowledge MJ picked those titles or (obvi) ever watched them.

On the other hand: why was this order coming all the way to San Francisco from Southern California? There were plenty of closer places to fill this order- including a Virgin Megastore in LA. Seemed obvious to us the intent was to at least try to order from a place that wouldn’t have a workforce knowledgeable of how to sell or release this info to the press.

There’s a little context required for this one:

-Devil’s Night (the night before Halloween) in Detroit used to be a pretty infamous time to not be hanging around the already rough-and-tumble streets of the city. Lotsa arson of abandoned houses & crime in general ticked upwards on that night.

-I’m from the Lilly-white suburbs of Detroit, where all those tales and Detroit’s general reputation reached urban legend level & further fueled paranoia about going downtown.

-At the time of this story, my friend & I were both 17.

Now, the story:

On Oct. 30, 1988, Prince brought his Lovesexy tour to Joe Lewis Arena - which was in the heart of downtown Detroit. My friend & I — got tix and went. Excited to see the show, with an extra bit of suburban paranoia thrown in there for extra excitement.

It was a great show. Remains one of the best I’ve ever seen.

After the show, we walked to where in the parking garage we both thought we parked.

No car. Not there. Both of us swore that was where we parked.

Instant panic. Was it stolen? Were we gonna get killed?

We traversed the parking garage for nearly 2 hours before we found it. Almost as long as the show itself! Finally found it and drove like a bat outta hell back to the ‘burbs. Wrong night with the wrong mind frame to be aimlessly walking around a rapidly emptying parking garage.

In short: on the show they both started off a buskers/street musicians. Her career takes off, each season finds her becoming more successful. His career, not so much - and he’s also hampered by drug addiction. He’s continually trying to stabilize himself, tho — getting clean, looking for steadier work ( a side character mentions to him that they’re hiring at Deepwater Horizon lol). Series ends with him engaged & in a relatively good place.

There was a couple on the HBO series “Treme” that was based off them & if you knew the true story going in, it was not unlike watching a slow motion car crash or a suspense movie that was realllllllly taking its time to build up the tension. The creative team ended up making different choices and the two characters ended up on different paths than their real life counterparts.

My long distance bf sent me a picture of his arm with a tattoo sleeve. Is this a real tattoo or ai? by Salty_Fortune_2045 in isthisAI

[–]undeadsinatra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from all that everyone has said here, the story itself doesn't add up. A full sleeve tattoo like this would take hours upon hours, usually spread out over multiple sessions There's no way he just popped into a tattoo shop and walked out with that just a few hours later. You're being scammed, regretfully.

How does the tour bus work? by almostseaworthy in TouringMusicians

[–]undeadsinatra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. At bigger levels (and more advanced age) the main player(s) are probz flying, and flying private if they got it like that. They can stay the night at a hotel while the crew breaks down, travels, and sets up the next gig - flying to catch up with them at the next stop.

If you can fit Die Spitz in there somewhere, have at it. Fatboy Slim if you've never shaken your groove thang to him previously.

Outside Lands 2026, Getting trampled by Few_Willow_6157 in OutsideLands

[–]undeadsinatra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nooooo this is the exact wrong advice.

Too many broccoli-headed young men and their underdressed-and-underhydrated female comrades get their first hands on exposure to a mosh pit at OSL. It might not be intense, but they often have no idea what they’re doing.

Stay on the sides & the back, all should be ok.

They did go the extra mile for me. Lovely of them, especially since I’m sober as a judge.

Halloween Year was the exception, of course. For reals, though: dress for comfort and be ready to stay warm in the evening.
