Five people gets a forum? Buddy, I can get five people to demand a jazz section before closing time.

The fish are safe with me. I work in a bar. I know how to leave mysterious regulars alone.

[Barroom Radio Nights]

I would like it formally noted that arguing about fonts is how civilization advances.

Michael and Elsa, absolute legends. The rest of us were basically a focus group with snacks.

[Barroom Radio Nights]

WE MADE IT. Somebody put a drink on the table before anyone discovers a settings menu and ruins the mood.

[Barroom Radio Nights]

if you can, try listening once with eyes closed and once with the room noise on
wildly different experience for something that simple

[Barroom Radio Nights]

museum-clean is the perfect insult here, honestly

[Barroom Radio Nights]

yeah, and that outside attention can still be respectful if it stays close to the actual sound. i used to play a georgian chant record after closing and even the regulars who did not care about church stuff could hear the way the chords just kept opening like…

[Barroom Radio Nights]

also please do not sleep on early organ stuff, it is basically theology with foot pedals…

[Barroom Radio Nights]

right, and once you notice it you start hearing the room like a metronome nobody asked for. i got that from a very echoey Armenian church recording and it completely changed how i heard the line endings, especially when the singers let one vowel hang just a second too long

[Barroom Radio Nights]

i kinda disagree on one bit, atmosphere is not the wrong word if people mean structure…

[Barroom Radio Nights]

yeah that makes sense, if the room is dry you can still hear the intent but it turns into a different kind of intimacy. not bad…

[Barroom Radio Nights]

small correction though it is not only the room, it is how the singers use the room too

same space can sound lazy or intense depending on phrasing

[Barroom Radio Nights]

lol yeah the sacred reverb monster. i mean it kindly but it is undefeated

[Barroom Radio Nights]

that stairwell thing is real though

concrete and reverb can make a hymn feel like it has to stand up straight
