rgggn in all its musicality @rgggn@linernotes.club

#RateYourMusic is kinda cool, but every time I have to add a release there I:
* want to scream.
* wonder why I'm still using it.

It just doesn't make any sense to me that it still has its own database when they just could rely on #MusicBrainz instead.

Sometimes I feel sad. Then I start listening to my music library on shuffle. That there is so much music that is not only so good, but also so diverse, truly makes me happy.

Computational Musicology In #Python

#LibreFM and #ListenBrainz (by #MusicBrainz) are alternatives to #LastFM https://libre.fm/https://listenbrainz.org/ #IloveFS <3

Both #Beets and #Funkwhale rely heavily on #MusicBrainz, an “open music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public”. I’ve been a MusicBrainz enthusiast and editor for the longest of time. Look up your favorite artist there, you might discover things you never suspected! https://musicbrainz.org/ <3 #IloveFS @funkwhale

#Funkwhale is “a modern, convivial and free music server”. I love using it to access my full musical library from my mobile when I’m on the go. There’s nothing like streaming #FLAC on a 4G network while commuting. https://funkwhale.audio/ <3 #IloveFS @funkwhale

#Beets is “the media library management system for obsessive-compulsive music geeks” and I have nothing more to say, except that I love its #CLI. http://beets.io/ #IloveFS <3

Did you know that #Kodi is also an audio player? It even has specific features for music videos. You should give it a try! https://kodi.wiki/view/Music_videos <3 #IloveFS

Today’s #IloveFS day! https://fsfe.org/campaigns/ilovefs/index.en.html

#BillyGould about #Spotify:
"I didn't want to join Spotify, because as a musician it's difficult to make music, because they pay badly. It's harder for the artist. However, I discovered a lot of cool bands on Spotify, I wouldn't have known otherwise. I'm a guy who always looks for groups, so I was really surprised at the great things there were, " he admits.
"Having access to Spotify is good, but it's better for the listener than for the one who works in music. I don't like the business model. Today, artists live more from concerts than from
records, without a doubt, "

New Millenium Cyanide Christ, whose music video is a must-see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_tSyJBsRQ
A true work of art of contemporary Swedish music videos worthy of #JonasÅkerlund.

Entertaining but it's certainly not worth this brass cover of #Meshuggah's hit single "New Millenium Cyanide Christ". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks9EnfJo_Os

Although I wish they hadn't played any #Audioslave.

Saw a band doing covers of (mostly) #RageAgainstTheMachine with a brass section tonight. It was entertaining.

Which reminds me of...

Mildly interesting: remembering the #DillingerEscapePlan (97 -99)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65ToRkR4sp0
