So, here I am, listening to the Cosmos soundtrack and strangely not stoned. And I realize that it’s been a while since we’ve had a random music recommendation thread. What’s the musical haps in your worlds, friends?
I’m also happy if we just have a variety of rotating off-topic threads like this. Part of the benefits of the smaller platform awful.systems has is (imo) being able to be a little more community-centered and less strictly focused. Like, sneer club should never start sneering primarily at my musical tastes but I’m honestly enjoying the more personal atmosphere here.
that’s a good point! it’s also quite a lot simpler to moderate too. a while ago I had some bad experiences with fascists using Reddit music recommendation threads to get people listening to subtly but definitely fash bands. my expectation is like the stubsack, our off-topic music threads will be mostly regulars. a dedicated music sub will definitely be more likely to break containment, so I’d like to have a dedicated moderator lined up for it who’s better at critical listening and knows more about the music industry in general than me (and I’d hate to start something like this just to have it fall onto @dgerard@awful.systems’s overfull plate, though he’d have exactly the right kind of skills for the role)
