Something to Play Along With

Just saving this for later, as this blog sometimes serves as a browser/machine independent collection of bookmarks for me…

That’s a playlist of my band rehearsing each of the songs currently on our new-singer-audition-to-do-list. I haven’t listened to any of it yet so I don’t even know if the takes are complete or not, and I don’t know if they sound good enough to actually make anything out, and I don’t know if we made any colossal screw ups or anything.

In other words, this playlist might be a waste of time, but I did it during my lunch break so it is morally on the up and up.

I have a wordpress.com blog for the old band too. Maybe I’ll post it there for funzies.

Attempting to Guilt Myself Into Making Progress

I made a playlist on hearthis.at with everything I have for the 2023 RPM Challenge so far. It’s all just midi tracks. No real life musical instruments. It’s 10 songs though and it runs about 40 minutes, so if I finish everything I have so far I can call this year’s challenge a win. I just need to find time to record guitars, write lyrics and finish writing melodies, record vocals, record more guitars, and mix. Yikes.

So why is this not embedding the playlist? That used to work from hearthis.at, didn’t it? It didn’t work well, but at least it did something. I wonder what changed? Anyway, the link is there so I can get it when I need it, right? This weekend will require me to make a massive push, assuming time and family responsibilities and mental health allow. Ugh, so much to do.

So how about that, huh? You didn’t realize you were dealing with a giant of the German Rock World, did you!  Me and the Hoff, just owning all of Germany!

Granted, seeing as seven of the top 10 spots are from the same band, that might tell you more about rock music on hearthis.at than seeing a doofus like me on their weekly chart.  Maybe I should check out On The Flip-Side.

Do you think this is just a way for the site to sucker people into using up my 5000 plays so that I will have to either pay up or stop uploading files?  Could be.

hearthis.at

The search for a Soundcloud alternative has lead me to another European site, This time it’s hearthis.at. I’ve uploaded the 37 finished songs from 50/90 so that I had a lot of stuff to play with. So far the interface is wicked clunky. Not very pleased. I created a set and added all of the songs (which was a bear to do) and when go to the set’s page it doesn’t play them in the order I added them. It’s mostly reverse order, but not quite.

Just wondering if I can use the site to post here.

Testing:

I think we can consider that a solid no.

But wait! There is a mention of a shortcode plug in. Does that work?

Doesn’t look good, does it. Oh well.
