THE WiLDHEARTS - Sick Of Drugs (Official Video) by Dracula_on_a_bike in c/music@lemmy.ml
[-] Dracula_on_a_bike 2 points 3 months ago

Sorry about that; I’m kind of new to Lemmy in general, e.g. I’m not sure offhand what my exact post-count & comment-count were before today, but probably both of them were in the single-digits. So, at the time I posted these, I wasn't sure about what users’ etiquette/expectations for how frequenly one should/shouldn't post tend to be like.

I'll keep in mind that I shouldn't post so many links all in a row in the future, and especially avoid posting many songs by the exact same band all in a row (which I suspect is the reason why the first several that I posted today got some downvotes).

(Also, the first several links I posted here today were all about the same band, and it seemed like maybe those got downvoted for that reason; I regret that now, and so I'll avoid posting several about the same band all in a row like that in the future.)

This is a music video for a song from angela's 3rd major-label LP, from 2006. The song is an "image song" related to a 51-minute-long "TV special" which is a prequel to the 2005 mecha anime series Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor.

(For more information about the song, see this page on one of Wikia/Fandom.com's wikis, but be warned that — as is generally the case with that particular wikifarm — this website tends to have so many obnoxious autoplaying videos & other extraneous bloat that opening any page hosted there might slow your computer/browser down to a crawl!)

obvious Cat's Eye homage is obvious

(Note: the Latin/Romaji spellings of this band’s name and this song’s title are, respectively, “Bed-In” and “Gold no Kaikan”.)

For any 3 Colours Red fans who aren't yet aware of this: the band's singer/bassist Pete Vuckovic has a personal website here, along with a page that links to this one new song from 2019 and its music video his Vimeo account here.

The page at the second one of those links above has this to say about the song & its video:

Early afternoon, February 2019, in a Sky Box Loft at New York’s Ludlow Hotel, a few drinks in on my birthday and this chorus comes from absolutely nowhere.

Stoned in London, days later, and I write out the verse in 5 minutes.

Later, at my friend Jerry’s house, who not only looks after my cats Angus and George whilst I’m away, but also does Eddie Cochran as good as Steve Jones, I’m feeling inspired and unusually curious, so ask if he’s up for a quick recording session.

He says “yes”, so I nab a tenner off him and head for the off-licence.

After heroic doses of 1664 in a very short time, a guitar track, a couple of musical moves and a well twatted fender p are recorded, which, from a bit of me but more of him, somehow... makes my drunk yelling, almost listenable.

He calls them ‘scratch’ guitars.

I’ve left on some bad vocals.

But... you know… fuck it.

Here’s the result.

Enjoy :)

Pete

Here's the music video for the 2nd track from Primal Scream's studio LP from 2000.

Note: according to this article from the NME, My Bloody Valentine guitarist Kevin Shields played guitar on (the studio version of) this song and also mixed it.

(Huh? Why is this showing up twice in this community's list of posts? Did I do something that caused it to be that way? If so, sorry, I didn't intend to do that!)

This concert was good enough that it deserves to be released as a live album, IMO… and I'll go so far as to say that, if that were to happen, then it would be up among the very best live albums I've ever heard!

(Their first album’s music is basically early-1970s style retro hard rock, similar to Mountain, Black Sabbath’s early albums, Nektar’s early albums, Atomic Rooster’s second album, Budgie, etc.; whereas their second album’s music is more of a motorik/repetitive style of psychedelic rock and/or noise rock, similar to Loop, Hawkwind, or (occasionally) Primal Scream. The concert featured in this video consists entirely of songs from the second album.)

Here's a great song from a band that — unfortunately — deserved more recognition than they ever got.

This is a live-in-the-studio version of a song from this band's debut LP — IMO, the best one from that album — which was released in 2016. It's basically early-1970s style retro hard rock, similar to Mountain, Black Sabbath's early albums, Nektar's early albums, Atomic Rooster's second album, Budgie, etc.

Well, although usually it's a good idea to read the original post first, in this instance the original post is at best misleading because it refers to Plasma as an "operating system" rather than a desktop environment.

(Or for those who want to use even more precise terminology: its full name is either "Plasma Desktop" or "KDE Plasma Desktop", because KDE also has some non-desktop environments such as Plasma Mobile and Plasma Bigscreen... none of which are as popular as Plasma Desktop, though, so usually Plasma Desktop is colloquially called just "Plasma".)

IRC is the Only Viable Chat Protocol by Dracula_on_a_bike in c/irc
[-] Dracula_on_a_bike 2 points 1 year ago

There's also a newer federated chat (plus VoIP signalling) protocol called Matrix that's worth a look.

One feature that sets it apart from XMPP is its support for multi-client synchronization: if you log into the same user account from multiple clients (e.g. where one of them is a desktop app and another one is a smartphone app), your chat history will be synchronized across them. Or as one of the Matrix developers put it: "XMPP is all about message passing, whereas Matrix is all about state synchronisation".

On the downside, though: although the Matrix protocol is designed to support presence-status, it seems that many (?) of the public Matrix homeservers have that feature disabled for performance reasons.

Hello world! - Please introduce yourself here by Dracula_on_a_bike in c/sdfpubnix
[-] Dracula_on_a_bike 6 points 1 year ago

Hello. I'm someone who's previously/currently had accounts with 2 other nonprofit Unix shell account providers similar to SDF since approximately 1996/1997, and first found out about SDF maybe 10 years later while looking for other email-account-provider options. Then, last year, I saw SDF's Mastodon instance listed on joinmastodon.org, and decided to sign up for an account there... which eventually (thanks to the email announcement that was sent to users registered there) led me to this Lemmy instance.

I suppose the main reason why I decided to sign up here is out of hope that ActivityPub/Fediverse will become similar to, but better than, the various types of discussion forum systems (Usenet/NNTP, mailing lists, mailing list archivers like Pipermail & MHonArc, phpBB/vBulletin-style web forums) that were popular in the '90s and '00s. Personal blogging/microblogging systems (Mastodon, etc.) aren't an adequate replacement for newsgroups/forums, as far as I'm concerned; to paraphrase something I read elsewhere, too much of so-called social media is mostly about "look at me", as opposed to "look at this" (i.e. organized by topic).

(By the way: Lemmy currently seems to have some sort of incompatibility problem with QtWebEngine and/or the Falkon web browser. I initially tried to post this from Falkon, but the "Preview" and "Post" buttons were disabled even after typing some text, so I ended up posting this from Firefox instead.)
