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!”
low common denominator content attracts the low common denominator
We are all working class
I shitpost about my sister’s feet on Lemmy and teach Jesus’ dharma and sometimes the Buddha’s, if he’s talking to me, again, fackin’ dick. But y’know, I’m as much of a (f)artist as anyone else that actively discredits themselves to teach what the CIA taught them, whilst on and not on psychedelics, cuz those fackin’ pussies can’t handle me exposing everything they’re doing to me.
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.
Ngl this is such a hilarious post haha 🤣
I’ve never listened to a podcast like that. It sounds like low effort reality TV style content.
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.
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.
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!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.
If you can afford it, properly setup good quality instruments (particularly guitars) are much easier to play.
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
Me, who edits comments over and over until I believe they convey my message correctly.
You, who didn’t even double check that your fingers were on the home row, but submitted the comment, regardless.
That feeling after your 4th edit, when the story you wrote out finally flows cleanly and doesn’t have any snags that will spur an internet argument, then you hit cancel and move on without posting it.
Typing out the comment then delete it is therapeutic, but without the traumatisation of getting piled on.

Oh shit
I hate that bro
yeah and I mean I’ve got ice cream RIGHT on the conveyor belt and she KNOWS it
I can neither confirm nor deny these statements
TBF the home row wouldn’t matter. There’s enough food stuck between the keys that what you press isn’t what you get anyway.
shit that’s where my gummi bears went thanks
WYPINWYG?
I love that type of editor! It’s called Ai.
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.
I have that habit. Then I get really angry replies where people accuses me of stealth editing posts.
I usually edit several times to avoid typos but when I edit to correct my comment because I was told I was wrong and they were right, I usually cross the old text so poorly know I was wrong and the other comments don’t seem crazy or me disingenuous.
some stupid thing or lacking proper contextnah I was wrong.He’s like worse than Hitler.
Nice stealth edit bro…
I occasionally append an edit line to my first submission to fuck with the convention police
Edit: why all the downvotes??
I mean like if that’s what happens then like whatever it is is what it is like if I don’t feel like finishing my thought what are you gonna do about it it’s just really whatever you know?
…edits comments over and over - and often after posting them.
Forgot about home row, they tried to teach me to type their way but I didnt like that
Now I type faster than most but thats not saying much
However I look at the keyboard only, instead of the screen only like they tried to teach
My way I can move my fingers as fast as possible and i’m accurate, I know what key I hit so I know what it says on the screen without looking
try Dvorak
Isn’t that just keys in different places. How does that help long term?
Haven’t tried it personally, but from what I know it’s supposed to fix some of QWERTY’s pitfalls. QWERTY was originally made for typewriters and has some things in mind to avoid jamming (i.e. placing letters that appear next to each other in words far from each other on the keyboard). Modern keyboards don’t have those mechanical limitations any more; from what I know DVORAK and other alternative layouts try to optimise things by placing most used letters on the home row and alternating between hands, but now have to overcome the fact that maybe 99% of people are used to QWERTY.
“what if nobody wants to listen to it??”
Does not matter bro. Create. Be free
When I did webcomics I was worried nobody would think they were funny or had some reservations about public opinions.
Then I watched some documentary on comic artists, including Calvin & Hobbe’s Bill Watterson, and he said something like “I just make something I think is funny, and if my wife also thinks it’s funny that’s a bonus, and everyone else can think whatever they want to think, but I’m happy with it, and that’s all I really cared about.”
And that was enough for me to get into it.
Make it for you first. Everyone else is a bonus.
That’s how I feel about my constant jokes, i’m airways making myself laugh
It’s a very fulfilling way to live
For real, there’s dickbags pushing a button so AI can shit out songs that no one but themselves will listen to, patting themselves on the back as artists. Let’s never be afraid to put our art out there, spread it, play it live. People need to know what human creativity feels like.
Edit: This may have been more about AI than I wanted it to be.
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”!
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!
Saved for a listen when I am home.
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”
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?
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
Me, surrounded by music gear.
oh shit
i hate that bro
I have thousands worth of random modular, sequencers, groove boxes, software synths… It’s endless. I sold a ton the last few years. I own 5 guitars for “different purposes”. I have a Tracker Mini on the way tomorrow.
I’ve never produced a single thing I’d want to share with anyone. But I have fun making bleep bloops and that’s what I remember when I start to feel bad about it. I just wanna live in a musical spaceship and that’s ok until it’s not, so let’s just make cool sounds and not worry about it. 🤷♂️
I am you but replace Tracker Mini with Dirtywave M8.
I just built a headless M8. I sold mine last year lol.
I haven’t decided which tracker workflow I like best yet. Dirtywave, Polyend, or ReNoise?
Yeah, I’m kinda feeling personally attacked by this
Your music gear: “Stop! You’re surrounded! Put your hands in the air like you just don’t care!”
