Anyone else round Beeston having an absolute mare with their BT? No outage listed on their site but already spoken to a few people describing the same issues and the helpline isnt really offering a fix.

Basically what it says in the title. I finished a degree in Spanish language, but im in an English speaking country and I do notice my vocabulary diminishes if im not constantly hearing or speaking it.

I'm looking for films with some grit to them, either crime, noir, or revisionist westerns, although i am also very open to dramas. Stuff that is maybe reflects what I like to read, ie Roberto Bolaño's Savage Detectives and 2666, McCarthy's Border Trilogy, Blood Meridian, No Country.

I ain't there but I've seen pics of people camping by the stage all day. If any of you read this please realise that your main job is going to be catching stage divers and crowd surfers, and likely eating boots to the face.

Front row at a no barrier show is not the same as front row at a BMTH arena gig.

Edit: this is a PSA and not meant to be me having a go

Cant be alone in this, while I understand the theory behind time sigs and im able to count other songs, I sometimes struggle with counting out my guitar riffs without drums and go through a bit of trial and error when trying to find the appropriate signature.

Long shot, but does anyone know of any programme/app/plug in that can detect possible time signatures based on recordings?

Thanks in advance

Can't be the only person that needs that audible stimulus to lock in to something... I need something calm and not overly busy to accompany my reading and post rock and metal are my go to genres for it. Looking for anything that leans to the more atmospheric side of post rock for elongated reading sessions.

Alright, so i recently asked for recommendations based on what I'd enjoyed after getting back into reading for the first time in many years...

I spent a good month or so reading Blood Meridian (loved it), then smashed through Frankenstein, and I've just about finished The Road in a few days... as much as I loved it, dear god I need something less bleak. I've got 2666 lined up as my first "big" book since I read Sanderson's Way Of King's a couple years back, and I just need something that will make me smile.

I've previously enjoyed Matt Haig's The Humans, and Retromancer by Robert Rankin, so a short wacky sci fi comedy would be much appreciated. Anything with quirky and surrealist humour would go a long way as a buffer between The Road and 2666.

Just looking for a bit of advice on the off chance anyone has experience with this.

I had my video interview with Rock Steady and got invited to the second phase where we're doing some practical assessments and group excersizes.

What can I expect from this?

And anyone who may have done the job, how did you find it and what's it like working for them?

I've played in bands on and off all my life, but always worked in hospitality so this is all kind of new to me.

So Boundaries just posted on their IG that the wrong version of the latest single was posted across all platforms, and the correct master is now being uploaded.

I actually feel kind of vindicated because I thought that track sounded muddy af again, so im looking forward to checking out the correct master (led me to actually enjoying Skies), but it really highlights something...

My question is, how many really need to put their hands up and say they actually cant tell what a bad mix or master sounds like? Because both occasions have had droves of people defending Boundaries and acting like everyone that doesn't like it is "suddenly a pro" or something to that effect.

Edit: this post isn't meant to be a dig at Boundaries, but just a chance to get people to think a bit before they blindly defend something they either don't know anything about, and/or have a dig when other people are (validly) criticising.
