THE WiLDHEARTS - Sick Of Drugs (Official Video) in c/music@lemmy.ml
[–] Dracula_on_a_bike@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago

Sorry about that; I’m kind of new to Lemmy in general, e.g. I’m not sure offhand what my exact post-count & comment-count were before today, but probably both of them were in the single-digits. So, at the time I posted these, I wasn't sure about what users’ etiquette/expectations for how frequenly one should/shouldn't post tend to be like.

I'll keep in mind that I shouldn't post so many links all in a row in the future, and especially avoid posting many songs by the exact same band all in a row (which I suspect is the reason why the first several that I posted today got some downvotes).

Here's the music video for the 2nd track from Primal Scream's studio LP from 2000.

Note: according to this article from the NME, My Bloody Valentine guitarist Kevin Shields played guitar on (the studio version of) this song and also mixed it.

(Huh? Why is this showing up twice in this community's list of posts? Did I do something that caused it to be that way? If so, sorry, I didn't intend to do that!)

Pete Vuckovic — I Wanna Die (In New York City Tonight) (vimeo.com)
 

For any 3 Colours Red fans who aren't yet aware of this: the band's singer/bassist Pete Vuckovic has a personal website here, along with a page that links to this one new song from 2019 and its music video his Vimeo account here.

The page at the second one of those links above has this to say about the song & its video:

Early afternoon, February 2019, in a Sky Box Loft at New York’s Ludlow Hotel, a few drinks in on my birthday and this chorus comes from absolutely nowhere.

Stoned in London, days later, and I write out the verse in 5 minutes.

Later, at my friend Jerry’s house, who not only looks after my cats Angus and George whilst I’m away, but also does Eddie Cochran as good as Steve Jones, I’m feeling inspired and unusually curious, so ask if he’s up for a quick recording session.

He says “yes”, so I nab a tenner off him and head for the off-licence.

After heroic doses of 1664 in a very short time, a guitar track, a couple of musical moves and a well twatted fender p are recorded, which, from a bit of me but more of him, somehow... makes my drunk yelling, almost listenable.

He calls them ‘scratch’ guitars.

I’ve left on some bad vocals.

But... you know… fuck it.

Here’s the result.

Enjoy :)

Pete

obvious Cat's Eye homage is obvious

(Note: the Latin/Romaji spellings of this band’s name and this song’s title are, respectively, “Bed-In” and “Gold no Kaikan”.)

3 Colours Red live at the Garage, Highbury and Islington (www.youtube.com)
 

Here's an hour-long concert (from 2004) by a 1990s/2000s-era punk rock / hard rock band from the UK that — unfortunately — deserved more recognition than they ever got.

Here's a great song from a great album from 1996 (or 1994, for its limited-release EP version).

Well, although usually it's a good idea to read the original post first, in this instance the original post is at best misleading because it refers to Plasma as an "operating system" rather than a desktop environment.

(Or for those who want to use even more precise terminology: its full name is either "Plasma Desktop" or "KDE Plasma Desktop", because KDE also has some non-desktop environments such as Plasma Mobile and Plasma Bigscreen... none of which are as popular as Plasma Desktop, though, so usually Plasma Desktop is colloquially called just "Plasma".)

Hello. I'm someone who's previously/currently had accounts with 2 other nonprofit Unix shell account providers similar to SDF since approximately 1996/1997, and first found out about SDF maybe 10 years later while looking for other email-account-provider options. Then, last year, I saw SDF's Mastodon instance listed on joinmastodon.org, and decided to sign up for an account there... which eventually (thanks to the email announcement that was sent to users registered there) led me to this Lemmy instance.

I suppose the main reason why I decided to sign up here is out of hope that ActivityPub/Fediverse will become similar to, but better than, the various types of discussion forum systems (Usenet/NNTP, mailing lists, mailing list archivers like Pipermail & MHonArc, phpBB/vBulletin-style web forums) that were popular in the '90s and '00s. Personal blogging/microblogging systems (Mastodon, etc.) aren't an adequate replacement for newsgroups/forums, as far as I'm concerned; to paraphrase something I read elsewhere, too much of so-called social media is mostly about "look at me", as opposed to "look at this" (i.e. organized by topic).

(By the way: Lemmy currently seems to have some sort of incompatibility problem with QtWebEngine and/or the Falkon web browser. I initially tried to post this from Falkon, but the "Preview" and "Post" buttons were disabled even after typing some text, so I ended up posting this from Firefox instead.)
