in hindsight... i'm assuming it's not a normal experience for a secondary school student to constantly get scolded by their choir/performance directors growing up, huh? hearing "if you can't do that much perfectly, don't even think about being worthy of the stage" is... probably a mindfuck, huh?

YOU DON'T "CONSUME" ART MOTHERFUCKER. YOU EXPERIENCE IT. YOU FEEL IT. YOU ENGAGE WITH IT. YOU WRESTLE WITH IT. YOU LIVE IT. ART ISN'T A LITTLE MORSEL YOU GOBBLE UP.

It is my opinion that it is actually quite easy to find good new music, and the only thing you really need is a sincere intention to seek out new music, and a willingness to listen to new music when it is recommended to you.

since the utaindorelay 2026 period has ended, i've noticed the following, in no particular order: - the tag on youtube starts with larger creators, if not entire vtuber groups, at the top. if they aren't, chances are, they're also more established (ie: in the indonesian utaite scene from 5+ yr ago)

#VicCommended I never knew I needed a rock-orchestra version of Deco*27's Marshmallow but... this is stunning work. Gotta shout out my fellow Indonesian producers for their absurdly tasteful work! (guess what I'm likely going to cover at some point, haha) youtu.be/S8KTpzEbLis?...

a murder [ #art ]

it is still august, the 8th month of the year. i actually managed to complete 8 full length singing covers (and self-mixed!) up until now seeing as my upcoming utacolle entries is 3 songs, then i might actually have more than 12 songs this year. dang.

i seem to be doing better playing ranked in bronze room tbh. it is less hellish compared to my time in silver room. maybe i'll grind up to adept 3 there...? 🫠🫠🫠

maybe i just haven't found the right corner of the youtaite/vtuber space but... ... do cover singers just not experience fiery rage any more? like... what's the point singing of an aggressive song if you can't express any anger? perhaps that's just the ex-delinquent in me taking over, though.

Saying it for maybe the 50th time: Do not accuse someone of using AI unless you have ABSOLUTELY AIRTIGHT proof, because if not, you're just adding to the paranoia and causing stress for hard-working artists. And yes, going onto social media and going 'Hrrm, I've no proof, but...' is an accusation.

We recently got accused of using AI for music in our game and, while it's disheartening, it encouraged me to make a thread about making music for games, what it takes, and why it can be heartbreaking to be accused or even suspected of something we detest. 🧵Long thread follows:

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

actually met and hung out with people IRL. enjoyed it. maybe i do lean on being an extrovert

my sense of time zone differences is garbage but what else is new

i should probably update my pr/omo/sky tbh

LRP: that probably only applied for gen x-xillenials because by the time it hit my gen, the "image" of punk or rap grew more prevalent, and the genre's fans became a conformity checklist. even among rap fans back then, if I didn't listen to the exact same stuff, I wasn't "a true fan" of the genres

For GenX/Xennials, all their politics is defined by the music they listened to in adolescence. Every american leftist I ever met listened to punk or rap as a kid. Centrists liked "everything except country and 'gangsta' rap." RWers weren't allowed to listen to music til they invented Christ Rock.

Did you know you can go into your Steam store preferences and tell it to exclude entire tags? 😊 I remembered it was a thing today.

today i found out you need a tumblr account to access multiple tumblr posts. what. since when????

maybe you should spend less time worrying about being called "spreadsheet people" and more time spreading it in the sheets for people

I have a message for all aspiring artists. Create. Even if no-one hears it. Create. You have something no-one else has. You.

depressive episodes suck. what else is new? tadaima, i suppose
