It sounds to me like the bass and percussion just follow the guitar, which is an old weakness of *so many* thrash bands.

Listening to the most recent Revocation album and I still can't quite gel with modern metal. There's no dynamic range, it all sounds so compressed into burst beats, it just doesn't breathe.

Maybe I'm too old.

The fedi won't really have made it until I see endless K-pop references I don't understand

If you've abandoned Twitanic welcome aboard Twinktanic

Mid-day Friday’s #record #NowPlaying is “The Sea” #Avant-Garde #jazz #instrumental music by Ketil Bjornstad. Piano, cello, drums, guitar, synths …
Reminiscent of of “The Lost Songs of St. Kilda” in instrumentation and playing but a bit more contemporary spice. Review says “somewhat boring” I prefer “relaxing”.

I am not familiar with the source material, but I am enjoying the Foundation telly adaptation thing very much.

Am I supposed to treat the mass migration of journalists from Twitter as a good sign?

Because they were the *worst* thing about Twitter.

Holy heck VW are here! Is that one of the first big corporate accounts on the Fedi?

A reminder that around the time of the Model 3 ramp-up people were predicting the death of Tesla daily, mainly on Twitter. It's a drama machine.

There's an at least 20% chance that somewhere out there is a company with a button that literally says "What are you even doing?

Not sure why bullshitter Buxton is claiming Ferrari hoped to take a championship this year. *They* said no such thing.

This Turkish Airlines window view of Los Angeles and arrival into LAX is so immersive I caught myself feeling a pang of anxiety about getting my luggage and onward transit.

I enjoyed this snippet of The Edge talking about the coda to 'With or Without You'.

A strange thing with the change of seasons. When you're scraping ice off your car and your fingertips are stinging with the cold, you can't ever imagine it being hot there. When it's mid summer and you're trying to keep the sweat out of your eyes you can't imagine mornings like this.

Just did an edit to see what happens; don't plan on making a habit of it because I don't make a habit of typing stuff wrogn or imgrammatically
