Yep. I liked Imperative Reaction, and to an extent the Gothsicles. Though the Causticles were the superior article. And Matt Fanale is still the man.

New vs dark vs cold vs frozen wave. At least we are inclusive in our confusion and waves.

never played the sequels, but I do have the original on CD still

Perhaps, I can’t really say. Honestly, a lot of what I listen to is at least Coldwave adjacent. Though admittedly much more on the European side. Lebanon Hanover, Selofan, etc. But you aren’t wrong about 16 volt. And what better time since if I remember correctly they just released a new album this year anyhow.

Yeah, he is not an unknown quantity. And yes, beyond playing the victim, I don’t think they worry too much. There was a whole lot of meh when he was announced on the lineup. Being in New York, I’m sure there’s a lot of acts they could dig up in their backyard that people would be more excited to see honestly. FGFC820, Light Asylum, etc etc etc.

Well, seeing as on a number of occasions. We have been watching random strangers footage of some of the events at the Bowery. Saying, who is that in your place there by the stage? Oh, it’s you. And joking that basically she’s practically a fixture there. You are probably not wrong.

Well, at least they don’t suffer for choice up there. Between murder of crows, dark force fest, and a number of others. There’s something regularly going on throughout most of the year, I think.

Honestly, the only reason my Midwestern ass knows about them is because I have a couple of good friends that are heavily in the scene up there. with an open invitation to come up and see the shows while helping out at their booths. Something I should take them up on one of these days.

My guess is that Steve was figuring the organizers would just grit their teeth and put up with it. Which they very well could have. But didn’t. Which is why I pointed it out.

Why would they even want to play to an audience of people they don’t want as fans etc boggles the mind. Perhaps trying to reclaim their relevance from before their own actions blew it up. But without changing those actions that would never work.

Thankfully some groups do and have made that effort. Joe Letz has been kicked out of more bands than most people have probably ever been in. And, thankfully, I heard that he was more than expelled not long ago from a band that I used to really like. So I can go back to listening to them without fear of supporting him in any way.

Gary Numan - I can’t breathe

Covenant - dead stars

Night Club - Miss Negativity

Night Sins - the lowest place you’ll go

Zanias - Follow the body

The Cure’s hanging garden is definitely up there as well. LOL, it’s hard to stop at just five with it being such a diverse range of styles and artists.

Saturday teenage kick

The party will support the most establishment option available to them. But this is the first time in about 25 to 30 years that there isn’t a popular, eligible VP. Or party heavy hitter sitting on deck waiting to go. Harris kinda hillaried herself. Who are they gonna run. Fetterman?

If, we have elections in 2028. Ocassio Cortez might be the most viable “establishment adjacent” candidate available to them. With someone like Stewart being a Sanders style populist outsider. But that’s still over three years away and the rate everything is accelerating. We might not make it.

interesting and good to know. I guess I stand corrected 🙂

Oh, I see. Yes, I don’t generally post a lot of images that way just linking off the web. Explains why I haven’t necessarily run into it.

The tiny CD repeat icon below a post when you click into it is the cross post button.It’s very easy to miss.

I hadn’t noticed it, but you’re right about the link not working under Lemmy. I’ll have to keep an eye out for the patch to get applied. It’s not a big thing for me. I absolutely understand and respect the dot world administration style. I my self arch my desktop, but debian or BSD my servers.

Why posts with multiple images?

I’ve never had any problems with multiple images. Or comments including images or video thumbnails though there often is some weird fuckery going on when you get your YouTube links from YouTube music. The links do not work but if you find the exact same thing on regular YouTube it works perfectly

Cross posting works better for me from piefed than anywhere else.

Yep, I still check the other act daily. But the piefed experience has been fantastic over all and getting better. Not to mention the better tagging and community flair for communities.

It was mentioned that cross post condensing may have just gotten added to the API. If and when that officially gets implemented in mobile clients. There would be zero reason not to create communities on piefed to have access to the community features. While still cross-posting here. Best of both worlds.

Very nice! I’ve been meaning to try to get more active again here recently, been very tied up real life with projects and things. Sadly, none of it to the point of being worth sharing yet. But hopefully in the near future.

It’s not even an organization. That’s what it is. Let alone a terrorist organization. Reichstag fire, anyone?

They’re saying fascists play a game of asymmetrical violence. They are violent, full stop. Any violence in the face of their violence, will never stop or slow their violence. Or even cause them to think. They will use every possible excuse to simply crank up the violence on whomever they want. Even if they had nothing to do with the violence.

Yep, left right or center. The kids actual political leanings are irrelevant. Fascists are in control, and like all authoritarian groups. It will be pinned on whatever outgroup they deem necessarily. Regardless of the facts

Yes, 100% this. I use both of them regularly. A lot of new releases are on band camp and not even on discogs anymore. But combined with music brains Picard, they are awesome.
