  I used Plex mostly for 🎶, but tonight we dove into 📺 and 🎥 with the addition of an HDHomeRun and antenna. Hope this works!

  🎶 It’s not the end of the year, but we’re getting close. Here’s about where it will land. (Much more to come in end-of-year music post.)

  🎶 Just heard a new (to me) track that was intriguing, so I checked out the artist and….

  

  …ok, go on.

  (the band is Ne Obliviscaris)

  🎶 How do you get from louisville-rock to antifascist red-and-black-metal?

  Apparantely through:

  • post-rock
  • super-indie-christian industrial
  • extreme christian metal

  This is an example of the “DJ Stretch” feature in PlexAmp, and it’s really fun.

  🎶🕊️🌟 It’s that time of year when I get to enjoy my favorite #MetalMennonite song as much as I want.

  Becoming the Archetype - O Holy Night

  🎶 Obviously not what artists are “optimizing” for, but some artists (esp. industrial-ish ones) would shoot to the top of listening charts for some of us if they didn’t spread their work across so many projects.

  • Klayton
  • Rhys Fulber
  • Andy LaPlegua
  • etc.

  🎶 jog my memory: was Thursday mostly a one-hit-wonder or did people listen to lots more than Understanding in a Car Crash?

  🎶🐓 Who wants to go to Igorrr (+ Melt-Banana and Otto von Schirach)? Sep 28 at the Vogue

  (It was awesome when I saw a full-band experience in Chicago.)

  edited to add: I reserved a table as well as a ticket.

  🎶 Plexamp added “guest DJ” modes, and they are pretty awesome additions on top of the mix/radio options that were already available.

  Here are a few examples of each:

  🎶 I’ve done the thing. Come to my festival. Thx.

  (I’d like to rearrange days/stages to group them better, but ok.)

  Silent Planet is selling their “heal us” design again, with proceeds benefiting a Colorado Springs based LGBT advocacy and support group. 🎶🕊️

  This is my favorite shirt design and I’ve bought it multiple times on tees and hoodies. Pictures through the link.

  Do yourself a favor and enjoy this groove session every once in a while. It always makes me grin:

  🎶 Marc Rebillet feat. Madison McFerrin

  This ⚽️ announcer just called swearing “industrial language” 🎶 and I’m officially calling it that now.

• 16 Oct 2022

  🎶 I find it interesting to look at which top artists don’t have a top album (and vice versa).

  Any stand out in your own lists/data?

  🎶 automatic loudness leveling is really helpful…

  But what the heck are you doing Apple Music? You shouldn’t do this within an album playthrough. Awkward, esp. when there are transitions, preludes, and interludes.

  I’ve never noticed another service do this wrong.

  🎶 Did You Know?

  It’s not officially Autumn until you’ve listened to Opeth’s Blackwater Park straight through.

  

• 18 Sep 2022

  🎶 Circle of Dust remixing Living Sacrifice, and Sanctum remixing Extol are likely to forever be the coolest and weirdest stuff to come out of the Christian Industrial/metal scenes.

  (Honorable mention to Argyle Park, which is sorta like creating this vibe as it’s own project.)

• 17 Sep 2022

  Please recommend more albums like Yovel - Forthcoming Humanity 🎶🕊🏴

  (Plex says BtBaM - The Great Misdirect is similar. It’s also a great album, but no.)

  👑🎶 at an office with the monarch stuff on the TV and the funeral march really sounds like Williams’ Imperial March.

  Did he know and do that on purpose?

• 21 Aug 2022

  🎶 Thank you to Plex + Tidal for putting this one back on my radar. I had 100% forgot about these beats.

  

• 14 Aug 2022

  🎶 Anybody know anything about this band?

  There are apparently a million “vis-a-vis” bands, but I can’t seem to find out anything more about this one (including track titles). #hardcore #diy

  🎶 This is the best track of 2022 so far and it’s from 2018: I Hate Models feat. Zanias - Walpurgis Night

  (Kardashev’s Liminal Rite is still winning best album.)

  🎶 that checks out
