Which means it would have been either livestreamed or pre-recorded for at the height of the pandemic, possibly for a music festival that took place entirely online. Strange days they were.
Continuing my wanderings through Italian one-drop music, here's another live set I'm #listening to, this one is Wicked Dub Division, playing live at the Ostróda Reggae Festival in 2022:
#FirstThoughs are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those. #SecondThoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those. #ThirdThoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. #Listening to them is part of #witchcraft
Yesterday I was #listening to a live performance by Chroma, an indie pop band from Cmyru. Great energy and some catchy songs.
The music video to their single I Don't Wanna Go Out illustrates the pressure indie artists are under to increase their "engagement" on DataFarming platforms;
I stumbled on a cassette of this album many moons ago, and I remember it appealing to my love of the absurd. I reckon Lovich was an influence on later acts like Shakespeare's Sister and The Dresden Dolls.
This is more like it. I often forget that Hole wasn't an all-female band. Guitarist Eric Erlandson founded the band with Courtney Love and co-wrote many of the songs with her. But there's no question that Courtney is the star here, and the RiotGrrrl attitude is all over the first two albums (this and the excellent Live Through This).
#Listening to OKGo's 'This Too Shall Pass', and #watching one of the two official music videos:
"You can't stop these kids from dancin'
Why would you want to?
Especially when you're already gettin' yours
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend
Well don't go blamin' the kids again"
This came out around the time I left home and moved to another city. I remember feeling like it the theme song of the experience I had over the course of the first few months.
Not only did Rage and video-maker Michael Moore win their battle with Wall St and New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani that day, they arguably inspired the Occupy Wall St movement a decade later. Two decades later, Giuliani is facing racketeering charges as the crooked lawyer for President Orange, like some Mafia Consigliere.
My #shozy Black Hole Mini has a frequency response of 16Hz to 24KHz. Listening to these well-resolving #iem, I sometimes got the impression that many #mix and #mastering engineers seem to have either an inadequate #listening environment or insufficient #hearing capacity. Because many of the #songs in my #library have unpleasant #peaks above the 7/8KHz region that should have been tamed during mix or mastering. 😲😵💫
