I want an app that takes a playlist out of rekordbox and creates a youtube playlist of those tracks where available.

is this something that could be scripted? or does it require something more complex and maybe some experience w/ APIs etc?

these are always my favorite moments in youtube comments - when someone shows up who was part of the recording/performing of a song or maybe it was their close relative and its like: wow, its heart warming they get to see the appreciation once again so many years later.

tilting windmills on twitter to just get this anger and vitriol out my system.

Syllogism:
being that: white people love musicals

beign that: rap music is basically conversation/monologue presented in musical form

therefor: white people should love rap music

i just wanna post another thank you to everyone who provided me a lil amplification on the love control / get what u need digital release. i really really REALLY (zero hyperbole) suck at the marketing part of this whole endeavor. it's like touching a hot stove to me. and while i gotta get over that

protip: when you read most DJ's bio's and you see a line about basement parties/scenes playing a part in their formative years or whatever, just know the "basement" is mom and dad's house. the amount of bullshit i've spotted on this topic is absurd. revisionist history 4 cool points <3

annette peacock appreciation post.

you wanna hear what love unrequited/misunderstood/rejected sounds like? she'll tell you with every crack in her voice as she tears through and past her vocal range. pure pain if you, like me, enjoy commiseration.

djs who do that follow unfollow thing on social media sites are doing an equivalent of crossing a picket line.

a popular online website's mix of the day but its just a 1hr recording from your local pop music radio station

somewhere in the part of the brain you dont have complete conscious access to lies the kind of weird associations we make with music. one such example is this kind of "churning" or "stirring" idea i return to often. a way in which certain musical ideas strike me as "circular", obviously dance music

so last night i found the next NTS Show DJ Moxie did and discovered where the traffic to the one record was comin from. but i think what hit me the hardest were her kind words of appreciation and support for both this record and the prior one on @midlandsound.bsky.social label <3

if you need proof the democratic party in the US is entirely fucked, just look at the morsels of info about "whose turn it is to be the next important mf'er" irregardless of the public or other sentiment. Zero doubt they arent an elaborate attempt to placate but achieve nothing. Obviously some

Are you really browsing the web if you dont have 5 windows with 17+ tabs open in each window of a browser?

Quit bein an amateur internet user. Push that CPU over the edge.

Severance is beautifully written - impressively complex with enough clues and hints to provide the viewer with morsels of an answer but not quite the certainty of truth for any hypothesis. if you saw the first episode and it didnt hook you in, give it the time - it's fuckin magic.

as much as this is an excercise in self promotion, i'd like to also establish this as an excercise in gratitude and promotion of the person behind the thing im sharing here as well - only good things I can say both about this person's character & their DJ'ing - lookin fwd to seein em again:

seems like its much harder to grow "followers" on various platforms these days. not sure what the inhibiting factors are contributing to this either. sure there's probably some strategy on how to reach/attract that changes per platform but gone are the days of 20K soundcloud followers inside 1yr

Wanted to spotlight a small article i just read by Nyshka Chandran for the RA Pro email newsletter about artist fee's in emerging markets - something I agree with entirely not from POV of promoter but from POV of person interested in sustaining the scene/growing it. I've gotten to interact on both

Curious how many folks in our niche sphere actually use marketing/promo tools / paid marketing (Facebook Spotify ads etc)?
February 26, 2025 at 9:11 AM
Why the fuck is it the artists responsibility to ensure if their song ends up on playlists that the listeners are all legit? Seems like Spotify is the problem that their systems unable to shield legit attempts to market yourself from scams. It should be spotty’s burden.

*tin foil hat time* I’m convinced twitter is largely full of fake accounts in the political realm that are supposed to be random constituents. Mere fact repubs who go on twitter and only see praise who then show up in deep red districts getting chewed out absolutely pushes me to this conclusion

So I’m not 100% certain this is incorrect tho I imagine it is - but I pronounced the name of producer Buscrates from PGH like Socrates.
