The pedal artisan really came through. This thing mangles waves and has a mind of its own.
Flock cameras seem to fulfill the same type of surveillance demand for governments that a CBDC would.

I think Dunbar's number might also apply to songs
I think Fender or Gibson or will manufacture a headless guitar before 2030.

Good! Wise approach!
Yikes, looks like a good sounding room from what i can see though.
Hahaha yeah, and i caught the tail end of that too growing up. I never got to experience the culture beforehand, besides just being friends with people who did at the skatepark or whatever.
As for fugazi, yeah, they aren't really who my initial point was referring to, and you pretty much hit the nail on the head with it being a solid transitional example. I still hear some slop on the guitar, and find the bassist to the most interesting part of that band, personally.
For something more modern (covid era), id recommend desperate pleasures by every time I die. They kicked off around y2k and broke up a few years ago. There's definitely some southern rock influence in there too, but at least they have some riffs. I think that is one that I really wish I heard more on older punk, do you know anything more riff based?
Im on week 1 of trying this myself. Already sleeping better
Im aware of all of this, but your broad classification of post y2k as emo has me feeling the same way about you.
And you may still be right about me. Im younger and I wasnt there, and im always down to understand it better. I should have specified though, that all I can do is hold it to today's standards, and while I know it was not an artistic choice at the time. When kt shuffles up on Spotify today, it just sounds worse.
But it is interesting that we can both agree some sort of divide happened around y2k.
Yeah, I acknowledge that.
But I care about the proof of work in the musicianship of any music, punk or not. Maybe thats just me, and thats fine. Take away the vocals all that stuff is just a poor quality recording of a formulaic rock song. That being the case, generic classic rock is probably an equal influence on what I like, and what is popular now.
Yeah im not staying 1+1 doesnt equal 2, and im glad it existed. Im just saying, looking back on it, and holding it to today's standards. The only thing it can stand on to even make a claim to be a unique genre is the lyrics.
Dropping a take here that would get me crucified IRL. Thanks nostr.
80s and 90s punk is just low effort rock music, usually with poor production quality. The kind of stuff any kid could make in their bedroom today. Punk music didnt begin to develop a unique identity until the early 2000s.
This mornings show got snowed out. Cozy Bob Evans breakfast with the wife instead, then I get to make my own music!
Handcoding feels like handpumping water from the well out back in the cold now. Has me thinking about intelligence like a liquid.
But was thinking about what you said, and came to a conclusion.
Either keep practicing or stop caring, otherwise im gonna just be miserable, and i sure cant stop caring.
Nah, but i wish it were. I got a 9 to 5 in the industry as well. Same place as the show tonight. But thats way farther removed from actual music.
Live sound, producing, and playing music myself is what i care about, and one of the things I went to school for. Would definitely do any of that full time if I could pull it.
Show wasnt perfect, but all things considered, went okay.
I should actually say, this is what seems to be currently working for me lol
Its a constant challenge, even within the space itself.
Here's what worked for me
When in doubt, stay humble and stack sats.
When not in doubt, focus even harder on staying humble, and keep stacking sats
In its current version, this block explorer *does* need electrum, because that's where node_faker gets its block data from, which it passes to wild_explorer.
However, I *could* make a version that talks directly to a real instance of bitcoind instead of node_faker. The would node would need txindex=1 enabled, but it could work.
That said, there is already a project that's designed for that use case: https://github.com/janoside/btc-rpc-explorer -- so check that out if you're interested in an electrum-free block explorer
Thanks! I've been looking for a project like that for a little while.
Great work on your end too!
Sorry for the vagueness, typed that in haste. A block explorer that doesnt need Electrum would be a Big step up in UX for the space, in terms of getting new node runners able to see deeper on chain with less setup.
Would this accomplish this with just a standard core or knots node?
Thanks for the zap! It did cross my mind to ask them if they knew about the LN, but wands and zaps do go so well together. Dunno how I missed it

East beast!
Just checked in on my car.. even .1 btc hits way different now.
Look at the shoes we're filling
Look at the blood we′re spilling
Look at the world we′re killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we′ve wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we′ve swallowed
And I don't wanna hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I′ve seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
For the love of God and the human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

Retrieval augmented generation helps a lot, and still has room for improvement imo. If we start seeing more specialized LLMs they could also start cross-referencing each other using RAG as well. I dont think this exists yet tho.
Aside from wavlake, are there any other other good ways to share music i make on here?
