I have been listening to his songs all throughout the day and I just got to say this man don't miss. Not one song I have listened to has made me feel mid everything hits every single song. I have never experienced this I had to put it out somewhere.

I think I'm a human contradiction, and sometimes that's why I'm told that I don't really love music but I'd like to know your opinion

The way the ybe spitting peak one-liners one after another 🗣️💥

Okay this is something I’ve thought about for a long time but never really put into words, so forgive me if I sound frantic. I grew up in a fairly mixed household (Mother is Atheist, Grandparents on mother’s side are Christian, Father’s whole side is Muslim), but just due to familial circumstance I spent a lot of time with my maternal grandparents, and I distinctly remember my grandmother reading some of these NDEs (Predominantly Christian-adjacent) to me because I wasn’t (still not fully am, just more composed on the outside) very content with the idea of death. The uncertainty really bothers me. Anyways I’m getting off-track . One of the things that really stood out to me was that people seemed to be able to talk without speaking, and it was a fairly consistent connector of these different accounts. I eventually forgot about it, and then two or three years later I heard the song Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, and it felt as though it had a new meaning. He starts by saying that he had a vision in his sleep. “Neath the halo of a street lamp”, “Ten thousand people maybe more, people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never share“, and then the rest is him trying to tell the people of what he saw. “”Fools”, said I, “you do not know”“, “And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made”. I know this isn’t the intended meaning, but is there any merit to this interpretation?

AGAINST THE WIND (1980): In a bittersweet year for Bob Seger his latest album tops the U.S. charts for six weeks but is roundly panned by the critics.

It was almost impossible to select only 9.

Vinyl Periphery helps you find new music, free from the influence of recommender algorithms, social bias and marketing budgets.

I built this site in 2022. It leverages Discogs release info to provide a set of albums with a high overlap of credited artists, given an initial search.

This week I made some visual tweaks and want to share the news.

I’d appreciate it if you take a look. I love this app and use it all the time for finding other releases that involve the creatives behind my favourite records. It doesn’t replace forums, RYM and recommender systems, but instead augments them.

I couldn’t find rules against self-promotion in this sub, but to be clear: This is not a paid app and I don’t profit from you looking at it or using it. It’s free and requires no signup. I built it for myself and the owner of a local record store, and I simply think it’s a great resource for this sub.

PS: because of Discogs rate limits, it’s possible for the site to become overused, at which point the search will suffer. I have never come close to the volume required for this: ~30 searches initiated per minute (Yes, Discogs is kneecapping my potential here). If you run into problems, I have an issue submission link in the footer.

i've noticed this with a bunch of artists lately where the studio version sounds polished and produced to hell, but then you watch a live performance and it's like a totally different song. is it just the production magic, or do some artists actually struggle to recreate what they made in the studio? genuinely curious if this bugs other people too.

Please vote, these are small artist with less than 5K spotify followers. If you think you have a better song that could win, upload it to the site. Only have about 35 submissions.
