What a wall of sound. I’ve never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.
Axisential@lemmy.nzto Music@beehaw.org•Portishead - Roads (Live From The Roseland Ballroom, New York, USA / 24 July 1997)4·1 year agoDoesn’t get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way
Axisential@lemmy.nzto Linux@lemmy.ml•The Other Players Who Helped (Almost) Make the World’s Biggest Backdoor Hack151·1 year agoFascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is sublime.
Not an album I know well. For some reason I always gravitate to Love Over Gold and Making Movies - I know those albums like the back of my hand. Masterpieces, both of them. I must give this another listen
Axisential@lemmy.nzto Music@beehaw.org•Understanding Even Flow - 12 Tone discusses homelessness by analyzing Pearl Jam6·2 years agoGuess I’d never really listened properly to those lyrics. Makes sense it’s about homelessness… To be fair, it’s pretty bloody hard to understand what EV’s singing at the best of times.
I often wonder what changed about Pearl Jam’s songwriting - they never managed to recapture that same intensity that Ten had. Incredible debut, not a bad song on that album. Then Vs, a couple, maybe three dud songs. Vitalogy, maybe 50/50. Stopped listening pretty much after that. Certainly never bought another of their albums.
Like Vedder’s solo stuff tho.

But the DT just doesn’t respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.
Wasn’t aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!
Axisential@lemmy.nzto Linux@lemmy.ml•Darktable 4.6 Open-Source RAW Image Editor Released, Here's What's New101·2 years agoI really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must’ve tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn’t click for me and I can’t get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I’d rather not…

Axisential@lemmy.nzto Music@beehaw.org•What are some mistakes that were left in songs? Do you have a favorite?6·2 years agoIt’s on the 2-and of the bar (the ascending arpeggio). Think the note is an E
Edit - on the 1-and. The lead in is beat 4 of the previous bar. So it’s the 4th note of the arpeggio
Axisential@lemmy.nzto Music@beehaw.org•What are some mistakes that were left in songs? Do you have a favorite?4·2 years agoI always thought it was a deliberate part of the track, but the internet insists it was a genuine double mistake and f-bomb from Billie Joe. Nice!
Axisential@lemmy.nzto Music@beehaw.org•What are some mistakes that were left in songs? Do you have a favorite?8·2 years agoI love the mis-fretted note in Stairway to Heaven at 3:30. Can’t unhear it and love that it’s never been dubbed out in all the various remasters etc.
Axisential@lemmy.nzto Music@beehaw.org•What are some mistakes that were left in songs? Do you have a favorite?4·2 years agoI’m like that with Green Day’s “Good Riddance” - the two attempts followed by a muffled “f$#k” are brilliant

Axisential@lemmy.nzto Technology@beehaw.org•HP executive boasts that its controversial ink subscription model is "locking" in customers16·2 years agoTo be fair, this has been pretty standard corporate-speak in most industries for a long time. It’s (typically) referring to giving people a reason to stay with your product - we used to use this exact phrase in reference to our complementary training programmes that were included with the product.
But, this is HP, so locked in means LOCKED IN. So, fuck HP 😂

I’m a fan of DADGAD - has been well used, so easy to find reference chord shapes
Roads from the same concert is just heart rendingly good
