I used to put so much time into playlists and general organizing/finetuning back when I used iTunes. Since the streaming age I just have a huge list of favorites and play that on shuffle sometimes.
I have some special playlists. One has songs I like singing along to and one has a few womens power ballads by Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion that I like to turn up on long car trips from time to time.
I also had the thought that I would like someone to curate playlists for me based on mood. I often listen to a song and think, damn I wish I had a playlist with songs like this. Then I create a playlist with one song in it, struggle with naming it, name it „Vibing“ or „Goose bumps“ or something stupid like that and then never touch it again.
Name the playlist after a powerful lyric in one of the songs. Example: For a collage class once we could get extra credit for making an audio collage; I made a mix CD about collage with songs about rearranging, picking up pieces, sifting through garbage, that sort of thing, and I titled it “Canvas Full of Touch-Ups” after a line from the Atmosphere track “Saves the Day”.
Glissandos should be fine to indicate a vocal swoop I think. Slurs would usually indicate no break between the notes, rather than a swooping of pitch between the two.
Well there’s a swoop thing in the backing vocals of the chorus (which i haven’t started transcribing yet bc i’m still doing lead). There’s some back vocals going “Ah ah ah” and then swoop up at the end of the chorus. The problem would be, how should i notate that if the ending note is not definite?
Back to the lead vocals, I think this is not the case so i think i’ll want to use the slurs. What i’m still not sure is of the use of the grace notes… i can send a video as a noting reference if it works, hold on i’m editing the main post
You could probably leave off the ending note if the glissando to indicate indefinite final pitch. A lot of this stuff doesn’t have only one right answer, there are a couple different ways you could tackle it.
One thing I like to have with me is the AppImage version of programs when possible, since they usually work out of the box. Also helps ensuring I don’t depend on the availability of whatever package manager the system uses.
Do they also embed the configuration inside of them? But for many dependencies and binaries I don’t think that would be a good case scenario compared to package manager.
There are cases where AppImages aren’t viable indeed, like with programs that require ring 0 access. But limitations exist for all formats, so perhaps another good alternative is having multiple versions of a given program, like downloading the equivalent deb package through apt while also keeping the appimage version. It would bloat the storage for a potential automated configuration, but it should help with ensuring compatibility.
chezmoi does basically that, without actually making your home dir a git repo, it just syncs it. It also supports templating and per-machine differences. Pretty cool really.
I lived for two years in Cameroon when I was a kid (around 4-5 years old), we were regularly spending time with another family who had kids and the same age.
Fast forward 15 years later, I’m 19 entering university in a totally new city in France. The first day every student is sitting in the amphitheater and they call the name of every student.
When they call the last name of the person close to me I recognize the name so I use it as an ice breaker to start a conversation saying that I knew a family with his name in Cameroon when I was a kid … He says that yeah he lived in Cameroon as a kid at the same time as I did, so here we go we found each other again 15 years later !
I have a few playlists that are accompaniments to particular stories/pieces of media. Basically playlists with a narrative they follow. Those are somewhat easy to make, because then I just add any song that makes me think of the story and then I sort the songs into chronological order of which part of the narrative I feel they apply to. Then I have a playlist for political music, so I guess that’d be a playlist by topic.
Normally when I listen to music on Spotify I just shuffle my liked songs though.
