I fucking hate spotify
i fucking hate youtube
i fucking hate not having all my music files on my own hardrive that i can use whenever. i don't wanna hear ads. i dont wanna have songs i love get taken off youtube by the copyright ghouls. reee
I'm gonna learn how to create torrents
i wanna make playlists, put said playlists weith all the tracks in a zip file and make a torrent that my friends can download.

What is the best open source media player? I remember really liking making playlists on windows media player back in the day because i could just set the program to search a folder for audio files and they would appear within the program. Then i could very easily make playlists out said music.
Making playlists using VLC seems janky.
Anyone got any ideas?

you should try collecting cd's, and ripping them to your desired format. excellent audio quality, and your songs will not get taken down, because now you own the music.

The last time i went on soulseek it had barely any flacs. Filesharing also doesn't mesh well with my enforced naming scheme. You could create elaborate symlinking or bind scripts to support multiple concurrent file hierarchies, but i never had the motivation to.

>Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is an alternative rock genre and subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American Pacific Northwest state of Washington, particularly in Seattle and nearby towns. Grunge fuses elements of punk rock and heavy metal, but without punk's structure and speed. The genre featured the distorted electric guitar sound used in both genres, although some bands performed with more emphasis on one or the other. Like these genres, grunge typically uses electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. Grunge also incorporates influences from indie rock bands such as Sonic Youth. Lyrics are typically angst-filled and introspective, often addressing themes such as social alienation, self-doubt, abuse, neglect, betrayal, social and emotional isolation, addiction, psychological trauma and a desire for freedom.

Post any grunge tune (largely 80s/90s). No post grunge

What will and will not be considered total garbage/10/10 of this generation of music wont be figured out till a few decades from now.

>She explained that her mother was “horrified” when she told her and added: “I was watching abusive porn, to be honest, when I was like 14.

what were your musical "phases" you went through at various ages? This is kind of a cringe confessional thread, but I'm too old to be ashamed of my proclivities.

i notice a lot of people have "phases" they go through, but they're not consistent. Sometimes the phases are based on things like genres, while other times they're based on things like instrumentation, lyrics, timbre, etc.

When I was single digit age I didn't listen to any music on purpose. Basically my entire musical diet was SNES era video game music. Shit like the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack.

Then I had what I would call the "babby's first mp3 player" where I basically downloaded all the dadrock music older wyboyz were into: Metallica, Led Zeppelin, that kinda thing. At this point I shifted into the "obsessed with music that is hard to play." phase. Sax solos, guitar solos, banjo solos, piano solos, harpsichord solos, accordion solos, anything that "shreds." Doesn't matter what genre. Then I had the "weed lmao liberal hipster" phase, where I was in high school and hotboxing with friends a lot and listening to late 00s shit like Decemberists, Neutral Milk Hotel, yada yada.

Then I had the "slow jams discovery" phase where I started to care more about the "texture" of music and less about how hard it was to play, or how impressive the solos sounded. This coincided with a lot of sex having and more weed smoking throughout my college days. Then I stepped back from music altogether and became an "audiobooks and radio drama" guy, first with a focus on fictional literary classics, and then moving over to nonfiction and political theory, approaching 30.

Anyone else go through similar phases? What were your "phases" like?

It's bullshit. It's fake.
You either don't mean it or it starts having a negative affect on your mental health. Which is why I guess he wants to kill himself.
That's where White shaming ends up for "White allies".
You're punishing the very people who are aware of their privilege and etc.
It's ridiculous & it achieves nothing. So fuck that racist shit.

We need class solidarity. Not division. All poor people should be sticking together as a class.

I think people are finally waking up to the fact that identity politics has been used *very successfully* to divide and demoralize the proletariat.
(Even if pushing against it gets us labeled racists) There's a reason it took off during OWS's rise. The same reason Cenk Uygur, no matter what you think of him, was replaced by Al Sharpton on corporate owned MSNBC.

What corporate music type do you hate the most? For me it's those generic electronic rock(?) things that play in truck commercials and E3 events, with the minor pentatonic riffs and loud digital percussions that all sound the same. I think it's even more insufferable than the yooka laylee songs, because they're so loud, and they think they're so badass

Isn't rap accused of glorifying gang violence? From my experience the type of violence alluded to in punk music is either indiscriminate or liberatory and is only glorified in the latter case.

Hi I thought I'd do a translation of a post-soviet Russian song (rap?) on the architect of shock therapy on the Russian economy after the collapse of the USSR, Yegor Gaidar. Might be of interest to leftists interested in the USSR, or might not. I will provide cultural context explanations to the best of my ability albeit it's not *all* clear to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEeTkLc-Fk

Arkadiy Gaidar's[1] grandson worked very hard
That's why the lazy and dirty masses hate him
He achieved success by following the precepts of Alisa Rosenbaum[2]
He wasn't taken by drink or despair like some others in Zimbabwe[3]
Winter, the hoarse voices of grandmas at the bazaar [4]
But Mr. Gaidar just started with himself [5]

He took notes from Adam Smith's works
Dissected into atoms the lives of the well-fed [the haves]
The free market, the concept of the individual,
A man is a poisonous snake to another man. [6]
