@pratik oh how funny .. identical takeaway here .. he used to be interesting .. and got demoted to lesser groups as the ‘holier than thou’ attitude kicked in ..
@numericcitizen I agree you need to read outside your personal bubble .. and I do … but too classes I don’t engage with .. screamers and arrogance.
Well, that wasn’t expected. More investigation needed.
@davidmarsden thank you it is - though this time round only ‘on loan’.
Seeing ‘collections’ in action - and maybe you can do this - but if so - how …
I do know there are some short code controls - so off to look at those now.
LATER - couldn’t find them - a lot about APIs - but not about modifying the short codes.

@jospehaleo odd indeed .. killing joke ✅ but to my ears nothing like as heavy as Tool who to these untrained ears seem to border on Thrash / Death Metal at times.
@hollie app .. on phone and pad rarely web or mac
@hawaiiboy the people against gay marriage NOT because of the Bible need a companion chart.
@hjalm Cocteau Twins - massive fan - This Mortal Coil is another in that slice of genre .. oh and Dead Can’t Dance and Portishead.
Rush … musically yes - but I really hate Geddy’s vocal style, so hard for me to go deep in them - but genre wise definitely overlap with a number of bands I enjoy - and some even love.
Deftones - not so much, don’t really know them to be honest - but heavy metal I rarely get to - much less very heavy metal. Not sure how their sound relates to Tool - a band that I have tried more than once based on friends recommendations who know where I gravitate musically
Re the new bands - tbh - had not heard of any of them - so looked them up ( but not listened).
Airiel and A Shoreline Dream both sound like bands like Secret Machines ( that coincidentally features on one of my 🖇️albumwhale lists .. but that whole psych rock world I do lean into … Godspeed You Black Emperor and British Seapower (now ‘Seapower’) to name a couple more
Adding Super Furry Animals to that list - not high on mine - but definitely in that world and the friend that put me onto them was absolutely hooked.
83M - another one new to me — a heavier Air? All the pedigree is similar - but guessing you lean into more heavy?

@hjalm top 3 artists?
I’m a tinkerer but I have essentially zero coding skills, which stops me getting the full benefit of Micro.blog.
Is that right? I am in your camp re skills.. there definitely things I want to do .. but don’t because code .. but that is more to do with extending than using micro.blog
Much more effort should go into reducing friction of starting .. there is weird stuff that almost makes sense to me because I have been here so long .. but still I am no aware of anything that is a microblog benefit that I need to code for .. now I am worried that I am missing something 😳
