Buenas noticias, Slovenly Records acaba de publicar por primera vez en vinilo los dos primeros elepés de Subsonics, el homónimo "Subsonics" (1992) y "Good Violence" (1993) que originalmente sólo salieron en CD. Denominado garaje, punk rock, etc, etc... lo que hacía el grupo de Clay Reed era un evidente rocanrol de inspiración velvetera súper económico, vertiginoso o de medio tiempo. Uno de los mejores grupos en rescatar a The Velvet Underground en los 90, si no el mejor, por rollo, voz, ritmo, guitarras, por casi todo (Clay... Reed, ¿viste?) en las rápidas y en las lentas. Pongo sin pensarlo mucho el primer corte del primer LP, "It's a Long Way Suzy to New York City".

Trying not to be autistic about technical details involving guns in a TV show about a former military cop who's special power is autism and who constantly says "in an investigation details matter" is so brave of me, tbh

ok since i've been sharing some piracy stuff i'll talk a bit about how my personal music streaming server is set up. the basic idea is: i either buy my music on bandcamp or download it on soulseek. all of my music is stored on an external hard drive connected to a donated laptop that's next to my house's internet router. this laptop is always on, and runs software that lets me access and stream my any song in my collection to my phone or to other computers. here's the detailed setup:

my home server is an old thinkpad laptop with a broken keyboard that was donated to me by a friend. it runs yunohost, a linux distribution that makes it simpler to reuse old computers as servers in this way: it gives you a nice control panel to install and manage all kinds of apps you might want to run on your home server, + it handles the security part by having a user login page & helping you install an https certificate with letsencrypt.

***

to stream my music collection, i use navidrome. this software is available to install from the yunohost control panel, so it's straightforward to install. what it does is take a folder with all your music and lets you browse and stream it, either via its web interface or through a bunch of apps for android, ios, etc.. it uses the subsonic protocol, so any app that says it works with subsonic should work with navidrome too.

***

to listen to my music on my phone, i use DSub. It's an app that connects to any server that follows the subsonic API, including navidrome. you just have to give it the address of your home server, and your username and password, and it fetches your music and allows you to stream it. as mentionned previously, there's a bunch of alternative apps for android, ios, etc. so go take a look and make your pick. i've personally also used and enjoyed substreamer in the past. here are screenshots of both:

***

to listen to my music on my computer, i use tauon music box. i was a big fan of clementine music player years ago, but it got abandoned, and the replacement (strawberry music player) looks super dated now. tauon is very new to me, so i'm still figuring it out, but it connects to subsonic servers and it looks pretty so it's fitting the bill for me.

***

to download new music onto my server, i use slskd which is a soulseek client made to run on a web server. soulseek is a peer-to-peer software that's found a niche with music lovers, so for anything you'd want to listen there's a good chance that someone on soulseek has the file and will share it with you. the official soulseek client is available from the website, but i'm using a different software that can run on my server and that i can access anywhere via a webpage, slskd. this way, anytime i want to add music to my collection, i can just go to my server's slskd page, download the files, and they directly go into the folder that's served by navidrome.

slskd does not have a yunohost package, so the trick to make it work on the server is to use yunohost's reverse proxy app, and point it to the http port of slskd 127.0.0.1:5030, with the path /slskd and with forced user authentification. then, run slskd on your server with the --url-base slskd, --no-auth (it breaks otherwise, so it's best to just use yunohost's user auth on the reverse proxy) and --no-https (which has no downsides since the https is given by the reverse proxy anyway)

***

to keep my music collection organized, i use beets. this is a command line software that checks that all of the tags on your music are correct and puts the file in the correct folder (e.g. artist/album/01 trackname.mp3). it's a pretty complex program with a ton of features and settings, i like it to make sure i don't have two copies of the same album in different folders, and to automatically download the album art and the lyrics to most tracks, etc. i'm currently re-working my config file for beets, but i'd be happy to share if someone is interested.

that's my little system :) i hope it gives the inspiration to someone to ditch spotify for the new year and start having a personal mp3 collection of their own.

SUBSONICS SPECIAL! on the amazing El Sótano radio show from Spain. A well deserved piece dedicated to our Atlanta sister and brother upon the release of their first two albums on vinyl. A good excuse to practice your español.

Hey there! I'm making a music player called Chora! After noticing the lack of good-looking free media players that can connect to a self-hosted Navidrome/Subsonic server, i decided to why not make it myself, and this is it after a few weeks in development. This is just the Now-Playing screen, but I'll share more screenshots once the app is looking better. Once it's more finished i will be releasing it on Google Play for FREE! Thanks for reading my post, suggestions are welcome, I will try to implement as much of them as i can.

The whole UnitedHealthcare CEO thing kind of hits a few of my little special interests and it's causing me to watch the news and go, "What are you talking about?" The one that really got me though was an article that said that the shooter being familiar with firearms means he might have police or military background. Or… and hear me out on this one… to quote Childish Gambino, this is America. I could go and practice anything he did within a thirty minute drive of my house. I saw CNN cite him doing a clearing drill as clear proof he's got some special training when it's something any shooter would know how to do. You can look that stuff up online.

Honestly, I think they so want this to be some contracted hit or something like that because it means there's some deeper story beyond, "This guy is probably pissed over denial of care for him or a loved one" and that's way scarier then some John Wickian hitman because that at least falls into a narrative that is more comforting.
