Love Katie Dey very much, esp for the way she brings together the acoustic and raw with the artificial and distorted, in her vocals and her instruments.

I'm such a goober lol I'm not christian but I sure was singing along with O Holy Night automatically

this album was a really nice listen! even if that one track activates my metaphorical xmas-music fight-or-flight reflex, lol. i always like albums that are just a collection of unreleased demos from over the years, you end up with a nice eclectic mix of how they've developed as an artist

the artistry on display here includes the subtitles, so turn those on if you're watching on youtube! and if you watch this outside of youtube's normal web player, i recommend using these subtitles i converted to ASS with color and position data preserved from the original SRV3 using this two-part ffmpeg patch that hasn't landed in avcodec yet (and thus isn't in any other video players).

and thoroughly seconded - i've shown this to a few folks already and they all almost immediately went back for a second watch after the first pass. mashup album of all time. there's an incredible amount of care and detail here

Another delight from the ol' clone hero library; don't think I'm getting a full combo any time soon but 97% sure ain't bad (MP4, 82.5MiB)

Just absolutely delicious stuff, tickles my brain real good.

Quote from: snow on Sep 03, 2025, 08:53 PMI went looking through new Comiket 106 albums, and been listening to this album in particular lately: https://kodamasounds.bandcamp.com/album/eclectic-resonance-paradise

So far my favorite is Shade in the Maris by HAGANE, but the entire album is worth a listen imo.

yeahhh that song is such a vibe and i've already listened to the whole album a couple times since you linked it \m/

If we can embed YouTube, why not Bandcamp or Soundcloud?

Bandcamp

I can't find any docs on it, so here's my learnings so far (if anybody knows docs for this, let me know):

https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/track=$TRACK_ID/album=$ALBUM_ID/size=large/tracklist=false/artwork=small/

v: always 2? doesn't seem necessary, but also doesn't hurt?
artwork: none, small, large
track, album: track/album id (not the name). if track is provided, album isn't required, but it doesn't hurt
size: small, medium, large. there's a matrix of what combination of size and artwork are supported (an unsupported combination creates a messed-up embed)
tracklist: boolean. does what it says on the tin. only useful if album is set (if only track, it shows a tracklist with only one track)

Soundcloud

https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/2136879759&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true

This is a weird one. Seems like we can scrape the oembed tag, thankfully.

how broken is my brain that the shredding at the end starts approaching sounding like a chiptune to me

Not broken at all! That kind of sweep-picking is basically exactly "we've got one pulse channel and we're on a mission" chiptune arps, soooo
