My new album Chasing Shadows is out (my 10th!)! Let's do a shameless self-promotion! πŸ’•
  • @kvn most proud of? Probaby β€œI’m in love with you” - a 4 part 15 min epic. Whenever I can pull off a long Yes-length song, I’m so happy. I think I did here!

    And yeah, made my own art! We went to the caverns in Shenandoah last month, I took a photo then illustrated over it!

  • Jane's Addiction - Stop (1990)
  • @krzschlss @alternativenation Can’t say I understand downvoting music posts. What’s the point? Ignore and move on.

    Imo, downvoting in this community should be reserved for bad faith users, gatekeepers, assholes, or dicky comments.

    But you liking a band or song that I don’t get into? That’s just music.

  • Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (Unplugged Live)
  • @z3k3lon Awesome! For me, a recording of a recording of a violent femmes cassette did it for me!

  • Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (Unplugged Live)
  • @fordlincolnhg You should add 2 more from the series, imo. REM and Paul McCartney!

  • Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (Unplugged Live)
  • @Donjuanme That’s super fair. I like Bowie and really enjoy some of his songs. Certainly appreciate what he meant for music. But yeah, generally prefer covers to originals.

  • Another win for the decentralized Fediverse when a government domain takeback can’t shut it down!
  • @SeeJayEmm I hope so, that's a big miss on Lemmy right now.

    Need to be able to migrate accounts & communities ASAP.

  • Another win for the decentralized Fediverse when a government domain takeback can’t shut it down!
  • @freamon Agreed, it's a silver lining post, for sure.

    But generally I find people say "you see, this is why the Fediverse/Lemmy/Mastodon etc will never take off" for every blip of bad news or whatever. But in reality, while the news sucks for .ml servers, it highlights the resiliency of the Fediverse - which is a win.

    And better to happen in the early days of Lemmy than when/if it got much bigger.

  • Another win for the decentralized Fediverse when a government domain takeback can’t shut it down!
  • @freamon can you imagine if Lemmy (in total) was just *poof* grabbed by a government?

    The fediverse lives to ride another day.

    Definitely fits under "alternative" lol. Where (if anywhere) does A.I. belong in music? Song drafts? Adding depth to your own work? Banned?
