Lateral, with Tom Scott, is a fantastic podcast. I also like Escape this Podcast (escape room in podcast form), Let’s Learn Everything (science-adjacent), Good Job Brain (trivia), Highside Lowside (motorcycle stuff), Data Over Dogma (religion from data/historical/linguistic perspective, mostly bible stuff), Words Unravelled (linguistics), and Lingthusiasm.
I have more related to the language I’m learning, other religious topics (I’m an atheist but still find it interesting from a history perspective), and some other stuff I think is less interesting to a broad audience. RIP Sci-Show Tangents which I would love to have recommended.
I just need one more guitar pedal and the world will be ready.
looks behind him at his guitar corner
Am I out of touch and maybe I have enough already? … no its the
childrenlisteners who are wrong!How many pedals do you play shows with?
Depends how many power sockets are available.
Just get a power supply, problem solved.
Set up a giant hamster wheel connected to a battery with a meter. Ask for a few volunteers to come on stage to run it. Tell them they have about 7 seconds between stopping the wheel and the battery running out, so that’s how fast transitions need to happen for the show to keep playing.
yes
whats that? no i dont know how to play yet
I had a former coworker who started on a proper Martin. Made me sick. Money definitely doesn’t buy talent.
There’s a famous actor guy who got into pottery and even though his stuff is meh all of a sudden he’s an ceramic expert and is mass producing his designs. Kinda pisses me off that those of us who are not already famous have to work 20xs harder to get out stuff out in the world and he just gets a pass because he’s an actor.
If you can afford it, properly setup good quality instruments (particularly guitars) are much easier to play.
I average 6 listeners a month on streaming platforms lol. But hey, that’s better than 0. And I do it for the love of music first and foremost.
could you share a link?
Thanks for the interest! Here’s my music, with genre tags since I do multiple genres: https://linktr.ee/secondstagenavigator
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to move over to a FOSS alternative.
Could be worse!
I’ve got 14 million listens over four years on Distrokid, and that just about covered the cost of four years with Distrokid. On their most minimal plan.
Good thing I am also in it for the music.
The economics of streaming are fucked up. Major labels get 80–88% of standard recording streams and physical sales.
Yeah, I’m in the process of putting everything on Bandcamp. If I’m not going to be making any money, might as well not be spending the little I do.
I know right? I have around 60k total streams in 5 years, and I earned around $300 so far. I use a free distributor (who takes a 15%) cut though. I figured I’m not earning much anyway, so I don’t really mind them getting a cut if I get unlimited uploads without a fee.
That sounds alright. I should probably find something similar and stop feeding the machine…
What genre?
I do different genres, but recently been releasing industrial metal.
Jazz
I made released an album last year, spent the previous year working on it. Probably about 100 listens so far, across all the tracks, but it’s fine 🥲 I’ve been using it like a demo, taking some of the songs to my new band, so they can hear what I had in my head!
Link?
https://jimmyhalliday.bandcamp.com/
Or if Bandcamp’s not your bag, I also put them on YouTube, just look up “Jimmy Halliday”!
I listened to that when you posted it up in c/punk!! I love it!
Thanks! I had a lot of fun making it! Though, if I could to go back in time, I’d probably nix a few of the tracks lol
No foolin’, that was great. My girlfriend liked it too!
Fuck yes! That’s going straight into the playlist!
Hell yeah! Thanks, dude! Same!

Interactions like these are why I love the comment section. It’s great when a post ends up being a vehicle for conversation
“Came for the meme, stayed for the comments”
Saved for a listen when I am home.
Hell man that’s so good music! I hope you keep it up!!!
Thanks! I’m absolutely keeping it up, I’m in an actual band now!
That is awesome to hear! I can’t wait to hear what’s next. The world needs more punk. Hit me up if you need a roadie when you hit it big.
For sure!
I’ve never listened to a podcast like that. It sounds like low effort reality TV style content.
Others are not you
Impossible.
Don’t listen to that guy, I’m definitely you.
Thanks other me. I know me when I see me.
Me either but I do get ads for them plugged into the podcast I do listen to. I guess I appreciate those idiots paying for the content I do listen to, all it costs me is hitting skip 30s 4-5 times.
We are all working class
I mean, the name “creator” is apt. They create bullshit videos out of anything.
Doesn’t mean it’s good
but people love bullshit. they gorge themselves on it none stop all day.
podcast listeners listen to it this shit for hours and hours. because it’s junk food that’s easy to have on in the background.
I’m the pottery/ceramics world we have the debate all the time about if pottery is a craft or art. Personally I think it’s a art that can be functional.
Things can be both at the same time
Yes this is true but when you have the mindset that you are an artist but people are telling you nothing but a crafts person it can be kind of demoralizing. Especially if you’re a woman. Because of course men can be great artists but women are not considered anything but crafts people. Just look at fiber arts and the way people are treated there
Especially if you’re a woman.
I’m pissed that this world has me so jaded I immediately spotted the “logic” behind this. Because of course it has its roots in traditional gender roles that made sense when they developed but are now so outdated that everyone still clinging to them should be stripped of every post-industrial comfort and luxury.
When you can divide your jobs into “can be done around the house while keeping an eye on the kids, the stew and your pregnant sister” and “requires you to walk out to some acre and tend to the crops”, pottery and textiles both fall into the former category. When you divide the people into “Can do walk-out-to-the-acres jobs year round” and “needs to stay at home while pregnant or nursing”, the second group are obviously going to be doing the first type of job more. Hence, when a medieval peasant woman makes a nice vase, it’s a craft (that also happens to have some art to it, because people liked nice things).
When you’re in a modern, industrialised world where making cups and sweaters is a pastime rather than necessity, many jobs don’t require a lot of physical labour and medicine has made pregnancies both safer and less frequent, none of those distinctions matter any more.
Hence, when you make a nice piece of pottery that happens to double as something functional, what’s in your pants doesn’t matter. You’re an artist (whose art happens to have a function).
I imagine the same argument is made with the glass blowing community. It’s incredible what those create.
Same thing with woodworking!
Also art vs content
“Man, I’m sorry, they said some pretty harsh things about what you wrote.”
Every writer:
“I don’t care! Someone actually read it!”
you guys have slow cashiers??? (used to german supermarkets)
a lot of places there are no cashiers anymore in USA. it’s self-service only, and yeah it’s slow af because people dont know how to check themselves out, get confused, and have to wait for a manager to come help them, which of course, takes 5m to even show up.
Oh shit
This meme has always felt like it came from another universe.
In a world where yapping podcasts aimed at men are derided, this is the one meme that portrays them in a positive light.
are yapping podcasts aimed at women not derided?
what about unisex yapping podcasts?
Ehhhh, for once I don’t think so. But I think that’s because the archetypical male yapping podcast is Joe Rogan
The third dude is there to only ever say “Yeah I hate that bro”
Ngl this is such a hilarious post haha 🤣
low common denominator content attracts the low common denominator
