Nothing meaningful for solid body skateboards. They all sound roughly the same no matter what. Acoustics would be a much more interesting example.

By the smallest of margins…teensy tiniest…this is better than your local blues jam at a bar you’ll never go to again because of said blues jam.
This is public masturbation.
Jimi Hendrix recorded “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” on May 3, 1968, the day after his long “Voodoo Chile” jam with Steve Winwood.
Here are Joe Bonamassa, Marcus King and Eric Gales trading solos on it at Clapton’s Crossroads Festival in Austin this September.
The two go back to the early ’90s, when a teenage Joe and his band Bloodline opened for Eric, who’d already put out his debut album at 16.

I click on these “most amazing guitar playing I’ve ever heard” things to get my eyes to roll but this one’s Jeff Beck so I’m all like…
The guitarist recalls a 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival performance he calls ”the most amazing guitar playing I’ve ever heard in my entire life” guitarplayer.com/guitarists/…

This is a jumbled mess of shit. She is so out of tune I had to stop. And why the hell is a lure involved by a likely guitarist who clearly has never played lute before?
A música ultraprocessada pós 2000 acabou com a noção de musicalidade das pessoas, do senso comum.
Qualquer música que fuja do óbvio, do ritmo mecânico, do sinteticamente afinado, já chovem comentários apedrejando. Ninguém pode postar mais nada natural, que não seja alvo e limpo.

I fucking hate this style of music so fucking much.
All 279 episodes of The Big Bang Theory open with a song by Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies, and in 2019 WarnerMedia paid a reported $1 billion to keep the show on HBO Max and TBS. Steven Page, who started the band with him, says he was promised 20% of the song and got nothing.
In 1988 the two of them wrote "If I Had $1000000" together at 18, on a school bus home from music camp.
In the video below, before their 2018 Canadian Music Hall of Fame reunion, Page says what hurt most after he left in 2009 was "I was totally by myself and they were unified as the four of them."
The band recorded the theme for the show's 2007 debut, with Page still in it. By 2015, he says, it had earned more than $1 million that was meant to go 5 ways, so he sued his old bandmates for at least $200,000.
The case for Robertson: Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady asked him for the song after seeing the band live, he wrote it alone, and the show's biggest seasons came after Page left. A Los Angeles judge put the case on hold in 2016, and neither side has said how it ended.
If friends record a song one of you wrote, put the split of the recording money on paper, because a sitcom can keep paying for every rerun.
So is a theme Robertson wrote by himself his to keep, or does the friend he started the band with deserve a fifth of what it earns?
I post one famous deal like this every day, with who got paid, who got played, and the numbers that never made the poster.

I honestly don’t know what to say about this I’m so repulsed. Listen this is fine slop…
It’s Whitney Houston’s backing tracks without her incredible voice. This voice is so mid, so mediocre, so incapable of singing ANYTHING interesting, that I’m completely full of rage.

Jesus fucking Christ what a dumb take on multiple fronts.
The whining about audiobooks not counting as reading is itself a symptom of literacy's decline. It shows that reading is turning into a gatekept, ultra-refined practice, much like the introduction of snobbish rules about how to behave when attending a classical music performance.

Agree 100% w this guy, fuck the haters
Random noises don't make good music. There is a scale of how elegantly or masterfully those pieces can be put together to create a coherent piece. They are deliberately keeping it under the threshold of what could be called good by injecting false notes/off key notes. This is not a matter of preference, beauty and elegance are objective. They are creating a polarizing gimmick counting of annoying most people (objective standard of beauty) and a crowd of psychos that revel in this social effect. The king of people that enjoy when the world around them becomes uglier. The king of people that enjoy telling other people that what their see with their own eyes(ears in this case) is not happening. This music is obviously crap as in: they don't know how to play their instruments correctly and they have a crowd of liars saying that this is mastery. It's not.

I guess my feed’s theme today is “the French are awful”
An Air France jet leaving LAX just after midnight Saturday turned the wrong way and ended up less than a mile from an American Airlines plane. When the controller asked the pilots why they turned, they said "give me a minute."
Just before that turn, those same pilots had read back the instruction they were about to break, word for word.
To understand why that's so unsettling, you have to know how LAX gets planes off the ground.
LAX has two pairs of runways, one north of the terminals and one south. Jets take off from both sides right after each other, sometimes at the exact same moment. The FAA allows that because each plane gets a published route, and the two routes have to fan apart by at least 15 degrees right after takeoff. For that first minute, the routes are what keep the planes apart. Both crews just have to fly them.
Air France 28 took off from the north side headed for Tahiti, on a route called SUMMR2 that goes out over the Pacific. American 1660 left about a minute later from the south side, headed to Dallas.
Departure control told Air France to "climb via SID," which is pilot shorthand for fly the published route. The crew said it right back. "Climbing via SID." You can see it in the captions of the video.
Then the A350 banked left, toward the American jet's path.
The controller spotted it on radar and jumped in. Air France got "fly heading 270 immediately." American got a traffic alert, a plane at 12 o'clock less than a mile away, and an order to stay at 2,000 feet, so the crew stopped climbing. Flight tracking from Wingbits shows the two jets got as close as 0.76 nautical miles, with about 300 feet of altitude between them at one point. The normal minimum is 3 miles or 1,000 feet. At takeoff speeds, 0.76 miles goes by in something like 14 seconds.
Once the planes were apart, the controller started asking questions, and it gets uncomfortable to listen to. Why did you turn to a heading? "Standby." What departure were you told to fly? "Give me a minute." It took more than a minute of back and forth before the crew confirmed it was SUMMR2, the same route they'd already read back. The controller told them it was a possible pilot deviation and gave them a phone number to call. As of Sunday, neither Air France nor the FAA has said why the plane turned.
Every instruction in aviation gets repeated back like that so the controller can be sure the pilot heard it right. On Saturday that check worked perfectly, and it still didn't stop the turn. What stopped it was one person at SoCal Departure, at 12:16 in the morning, watching a radar screen closely enough to notice a line bend the wrong way.
Back in March at LaGuardia, the last line of defense was also a controller. That controller was juggling a separate emergency, cleared a fire truck onto a runway with an Air Canada jet landing on it, and both pilots died.
The last thing on Saturday's tape is the LAX controller apologizing to the American crew for a turn they had nothing to do with. Their answer was "Great job, thank you."

They don’t include the 45 minutes you’re waiting with empty plates on your table wondering if someone can help you get the fuck out of here. And the waiters cigarette stench.

Why are we glazing an obnoxiously rude culture that smells like cigarettes and hasn’t produced anything meaningful besides food and Alizee since World War I?
