Record Store Day Videos Playlist

 Record Store Day Videos (2014-)

.

I just went through and created 1 of several Playlists among the 610 Videos on the YouTube Channel.

I would guess more than half of the videos in this playlist I shared in here, but so be it. It's a 1-stop shop and it's for the most part in chronological order.

edit: I just reordered them to be in full chronological order.

If I felt like it and had the time, I could try editing clips from these into like a 30-45 minute documentary, but who knows I would find it worth doing.

A lot of the videos I did when I started doing YouTube were just these; showing vinyl and from Record Store Day specifically per it was an easy, obvious thing to film.

The clips with Coco our dog and John are probably most of what I get out of these. The stories, sure, we had some adventures and anecdotes to pass along in the whole Record Store Day experience. It might have been interesting to even had filmed them when Joyce and I started going together in 2011, or even further back with the 1st few years. Per, I have gone every single year since 2008. Those early years it was more about getting free food, lol and schwag. Maybe seeing some celebrity there or whatever.

I dunno, the people involved with RSD should chronicle the history in a doc. Maybe around the 20th in 2027?..it would be especially cool if it were done just locally from Minnesota history for myself just for nostalgia.

I suppose I could have even posted about it back in 2008, 2009, 2010, etc..I know I wrote about Record stores back then, but I'd have to look it up in here to remember.

Anyway, here's a screen cap of little Coco and Joyce from 2018.

Chromeo - Adult Contemporary (2024)

Pretty good record. The outro to "BTS" is lit. Orchestral. Regardless if it's a reference to the band, lol.

Better than their last record.

La Roux is on 2 or 3 tracks. I know her name going back maybe 10 or more years. She was compared to Bjork and Imogen Heap I  recall. Although her vocals on the tunes on this album don't remind me of those 2 at all.

Happy the wife and I are seeing them again in October in St.Paul at The Palace Theatre.

Some Blog Traffic Stats per 2/16/24

Just glancing at my Blog's Stats, something up until maybe a few weeks ago, I have not used much the past 4 years, and my blog, allmediareviews.blogspot.com STILL GETS TRAFFIC (well over 12,000 hits in the last month, lol).

It probably gets a lot more than I'd expect. And likely a fair amount more than my YouTube channel does still.

My blog is a RESOURCE, which I wish my YouTube channel was, but what that tells me is the content I create reaches a bigger audience, and maybe the intended audience, on the blog more than on YouTube.

So, that kind of confirms my thought process (Blog vs YouTube).

2/18/24

Just to add to a point. Some of this recent feelings (which are not new, I've thought about for many months or even more actually). Seeing some people unfollow me on Twitter and Unsubscribe to me on YouTube just adds to my motivation. I can't be certain why this happens (it could be them more than me. They want to subscribe to less channels?, follow less accounts just to get their numbers down or ratio of followers to following better? and my account and channel was not a priority enough to keep?) when you only have 342 subscribers, losing a subscriber is more impactful, etc.

Small Leaks Sink Ships - Prison Kitchen (Single) (2024)

New tune from the masters, Small Leaks Sink Ships.

listened 3 times. Really fucking good despite dealing with a jackass neighbor blasting his music and having to run Grey Noise simutaneously.

Judd's vocal performance sounds quite a lot like what he did on "Broken Church Bells" from the Polaroid People EP from 2018.

 But I imagine this tune was leftover from the time they were writing for Low Tide. Although 1 podcast with London suggested much of the initial music for their next record was swapped when things with their record label went South per COVID.

I dunno, it sounds much of the Polaroid People and Low Tide ilk, that I suspect it wasn't written in the last 6 months to a year. But I dunno. I do really dig it, and it will have to tide me over and compensate for the fact they are going on tour and I won't be seeing them.

YouTubers 2014-2024

 Here's Just a bunch of collages I made. I wanted to find a Free Collage site that allows you to include 100's of images, but the 1 I found only allows 25 at a time, so it ended up with 5 separate collages.

Um, I made these in the process of the 10 year thing on YouTube. Admittedly, a lot of these channels are nostalgic, many gone or inactive for years. Some, I do not watch or subscribe to anymore, but I did include per I did.

There's obviously some stuff  I didn't include, but whatever.

Unsure how I want to do this. Part of me would go for talking about these channels in Videos, and that's just it, it would take several videos or a long epic Podcast like video to cover them.

The compromise may be read them all off, and make comments about some. There's over 100.

That's the thing, I have 342 (or 330-ish?) Subscribers and 608 videos. And I subscribed to probably twice as many channels as I have subscribed to me if not more, lol.

Ridiculous and pretty pathetic. But, that's why I'm looking to make changes soon (in the coming weeks/months).

1 should not have almost double the amount of Videos to Subscribers. Most people would have probably quit a long time ago with that being the case.

And 330 subscribers? and how many Views? I looked it up, about 71,000 Views. Yeah, no, I'm talking to 10 people every video, or maybe I'm just talking to myself. I guess if that is a low-bar goal for YouTube, and it's more like a Video Journal, it's not a big deal per I would be making videos 1st and foremost for myself.

But YouTube seems to be about status and reaching people. And I have really not done that much. Not even as much as I did with this Blog. I'm just not that good at it really. Not at this point.

Why I'm thinking: finish up the Projects I'm working on (Thud Songs Videos, Albums of the Year), and it may be on an indefinite Hiatus.

2024 Rock Hall Nominations - Take/Rant

Given my lacking the ability to film videos for YouTube right now per the C-word in my house, impacting that.

I guess I'll offer up some rants about the 2024 Rock Hall Nominations:

2024 Rock Hall Nominations:

billboard.com/music…A Tribe Called Quest Jane's Addiction Ozzy Osbourne Cher Lenny Kravitz Sade Mary J. Blije Eric B. & Rakim Kool & the Gang Sinead O'Connor Peter Frampton Dave Mathews Band Foreigner Oasis Mariah CareyJan Wenner is gone, yet still no Monkees.WTF."Murphy Level Bullshit"

https://twitter.com/Super70sSports/status/1704892123479449994

No Monkees..broken record of course. Wenner's supposed absence didn't seem to mean 

much if anything at this point.

Jane's Addiction I like. Three Days is prog for what it's worth. They were nominated a few years ago but didn't get in. I will be pretty surprised if they do get in, but if they do, I would happy.

Mariah, Sade, Lenny and even Kool & the Gang are all names my wife appreciates to different degrees.
Mary J Blije as well per she did a duet with George Michael among other things.

If any of them get in, I  will be happy to see it. Mariah I kind of think is the most likely. Kool & the Gang has been eligible for decades..pretty egregious..but there's many terrible cases of that like every year and there's a massive list of names who still haven't been nominated either as well (besides of course The Monkees).

Cher, Dave Mathews,..Frampton..Ozzy.

If Ozzy gets in, it is nice, but it is delaying other Metal bands from getting in. Maiden of course. Megadeth, Scorpions, Motorhead among some others. Even extend it out to Hard Rock.

Oasis I honestly couldn't care less about. I don't loathe them as much as some of the other 90's bands, but the 2 brothers have very unlike-able reputations.

Foreigner?..eh, Styx, Boston, or TOTO even ...or even say SUPERTRAMP would mean a ton more to people. I don't maybe mind them. And REO Speedwagon or someone like Loverboy (or Air Supply?) in the sort of Corporate Pop/Rock.

My wife would be all for REO or Air Supply, and by comparison to Styx and Boston, she actually kind of like Foreigner. No care for the fact Ian McDonald of King Crimson was a founding member, lol.

But I guess Foreigner was blackballed by Wenner and maybe others years back, But the same has been said about both The Guess Who and Toto. So, why were Foreigner chosen instead of The Guess Who or Toto? Wenner hated all of them (Toto due Toto refused to be on the Rolling Stone cover I guess).

Cher?..she has said she would refuse induction. Dolly Parton said the same thing, but changed her mind, lol. Cher's been eligible since 1990, lol. I can take or leave her music. It's fine I guess if she gets in. I suppose someone like Barbara Streisand or Olivia Newton-John needs to be considered if Cher gets in. 

But what about Phil Collins?..when they started putting pop acts in about 12 years ago with Madonna..Whitney Janet and George Michael..Phil Collins has the resume to belong in just like those others. I know he's already in with Genesis, but they've had several other 2+ inductions before.

Once filming again on YouTube is possible again, I'll try and follow-up/rehash some of this on camera.

Food For Thought: Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element II with an ORCHESTRA?

New video..likely the last for awhile for obvious reasons. 

Book: Vision Statement

Interesting find..I could just have kept this as just a draft, but I don't follow any huge motivation to have this for safe-keeping if my intetrest to write a book does come back. I can always republish/rewrite it in said (fictional) book.

composed 7/2/2019 12:29AM

I came to love music as a kid, but when I was in High School I developed a larger passion for it that matched and then soon after passed my level of Passion for things like Sports.

I have a lot of words to add about the music I love, which the Internet became an obvious platform to use. At first it was just using email lists/groups and Forums/Message Boards.

Not long after, I started a LiveJournal account which I would often talk about in cryptic or poorly scripted ways, the music I was getting into and enjoying.

But from a literary standpoint, it wasn't an incredibly tangible, useful resource other than giving names and albums/songs, etc.

So in late 2006 I found someone who was looking to keep a Media Blog with other writers. I knew this person through a largely music-based forum, and so naturally it was music I was going to write a lot about.

That blog is the blog I still actively maintain today some 12+ years and 1.1 million hits later:
http;//allmediareviews.blogspot.com

But after keeping it for so long and seeing modest levels of traffic, I concluded I would like to try something else. So I set 2 milestones, 1 being a 10-year anniversary which I reached in December 2016. I then went on to post an extensive personal Questions and Answers to myself or also what could be considered Frequently Asked Questions.

The 2nd Goal to was to reach 1 million page views/hits, which finally occurred in March of 2019.

So, now that those 2 goals were met, the next thing to strive for was something more. And that being, to try and Write a Book. Why? I think partly due to my frequent question about after seeing some others do it, why can't I? And so if/when this ever does become a reality and is in physical three-dimensional form on paper of some kind, than that question will be answered.

What is the Book about? After thinking about it off and on literally for months or even more than a year, I guess maybe one-of if not my biggest passions is for what I refer to as "progressive college rock" (also "progressive alternative rock" or "progressive indie rock").

It seems within the rock and progressive rock/metal/jazz etc styles, there are not many if any works that solely has focused on this relatively new hybrid genre of progressive rock. Especially in English, however the fellow who keeps the blog, http://altprogcore.blogspot.com has published some books about this kind of progressive rock, but in Italian-only. But I certainly am using inspiration from those books, to write this book.

The C word

 Yeah, after almost 4 years..it likely found my household.

What impact it has still remains to be seen.

I do find it almost ironic or telling it happens with everything going on for me on an emotional level..on Marillion's Brave's 30th anniversary no less.

Some recent videos on YouTube I made

 

"Top 10 (11) #dreamtheater SONGS @TheProgCorner's Sunday Prog Stream (2/4/24) #top10list #progmetal"

 

I'm not sure why my list wasn't mentioned or included with the Dream Theater Top 10 Songs here:
Did they or Scot not see my video? Forget? Forget the fact I wasn't able to make the stream per as I mentioned in the chat last weekend during the Kansas Stream (or maybe during the Vander Graaf Generator Stream the week before when Scot announced that and when the Dream Theater stream was happening).

I even replied both on twitter and facebook a few hours before the stream yesterday.

I've been a fan since 1995 and consumed Dream Theater's music religiously for well over 2 decades. I still do. I know their history extremely well.

Anyway, I guess I'm surprised they didn't mention (or play it on the Live Stream actually, it was only 11 minutes).  or my list video. I uploaded it 24 hours ahead of time. But I guess what can you do?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Comments on YouTube Videos

 

I've received this message twice in the past few weeks and had my ability to comment apparently on videos other than my own disabled for a day.

I 

a) have no idea what comments I left that led to this simply per there is no actual link, video or comment referenced or quoted that this caused. 

b) I read through the "Community Guidelines" and can only guess it may be from alluding to videos I made on my channel. Which I've done that for YEARS, countless times, and never had any report or have someone make issue with it. 

I may have linked rateyourmusic once or twice on some comments.

But even if that was the case, I find it incredibly unfair and feeble for YouTube to just do this without any actual specific basis or example where this happened. If for no other reason, to understand what not to do in the future.

Someone just reported it on there, which whoever did it, fine, being anonymous I don't have a huge issue with. Is it cowardly? sure. If they have a problem, they could just contact me instead. But at least I would think they would include the comment or video for me to understand. Rather than just leave me in the dark to guess.

I did leave a note in the Feedback saying they could email me, etc. But I did that the last time this happened and have yet to hear back from them still (unless the email is in my Spam folder).

I suspect if it was alluding to a Video I made, it wasn't actually the Video's Creator, but someone else who read my comment, or even reply to their or another comment who reported it. But I can't be sure.

However, I am starting to wonder if leaving comments on so many videos is a good idea now with this happening now twice recently.

The thing is, I have struggled mightily to gain attention to my channel, so much that leaving comments I find is the only way to try and get my channel's name out there. I mean, nearly 10 years and well over 500 videos later, and 279 Subscribers?..those numbers kind of feel like it's JUST NOT MEANT TO BE.

I am going to have to seriously think about things come next March when I hit 10 years. I just don't know if it's worth it anymore. I may just come back here and do this stuff again. While it doesn't get the interaction or visual satisfaction of YouTube, I never feel like I need to be seen or  read here,

I dunno. 

I'm just not that good at making videos I guess, or at least with the alloted time that I have to. I never have been an amazing writer, but I guess between the 2, I think I probably did better for myself just writing and editing over and over in here, than what seems like an endless lack of success on YouTube.

TikTok?..blech..right.

or maybe Podcasting?..i dunno.

My Concert Attendance History: An Incomplete List

So I'm bumping this to update it I suppose, but also what I just posted on the Social Medias

why have I never heard of this site until now? http://www.concertarchives.org/

I guess I'll have to start transcribing the list below into there, time permitting.

I suppose though, given the extensive yet somewhat organized list below, I have already done some of the work compared to many others who would be starting from scratch or using their last.fm or rateyourmusic.com pages.


11/6/15 2:08PM
So it came to me like a month ago while stumbling upon setlist.fm for something that I should try and compile and update all the concerts/live shows I've been to. And by date, month, year and venue and including every act on the bill.

Now this is far from complete, and I have some of the local concerts I've seen here, but am missing dozens if not 100's, which given some time, I'll try and edit-in I suppose.
