I have some bad news for those who like watching the livestreams after they've ended. Youtube stopped the stream early and deleted the stream file so I have no way of uploading it for future viewing. I'll be taking steps in the future to ensure that I'll still have a local file of streams just in case this happens again.

A quick update: the storm passed over my area without doing much damage and there isn't any flooding around my neighborhood either. We'll stick with my plan for this week and I'll release the Album Review tomorrow at the usual time of 5pm EST / 9pm UTC. However I'll also be releasing a reaction tonight (5pm EST) to coincide with an album that was released today. Lastly, Sunday's livestream is scheduled for the usual time of 11am EST / 3pm UTC. Thanks for everyone's patience and understanding and I hope you're all stoked for next week's Brutality theme. 🤘

For those who were looking forward to the Abbey Road follow up thoughts, I'll be releasing that video next week rather than this week. There's a pretty big storm hitting my state today that has closed schools down for the rest of the week. So I have less recording time that I anticipated and can't fit that video into the schedule this week.

I think I'm going to make a follow up video to the Abbey Road reaction. It's only been a few days since I released that but already I've had some enlightening conversations about it.

I'm thinking about listening once more, off camera, and then bringing up my thoughts about it with all of this new context and information.

I'm on Mastodon (the social media platform, not the band 😅). I didn't quite find the right balance for it last time but I have a better idea of how I'll be using it this time around. While I do talk about music over there it'll also be a more general place for me to express my thoughts regarding all of myself and my interests. mastodon.social/@BryanTheCritic

I know it's last minute but I have to cancel today's livestream. This doesn't affect any of this upcoming week's schedule and we'll resume livestreams next Sunday.

I was planning on doing the traditional Album Reviews anyways but last week's poll has ignited a fire under me. I'm working out a way to add the additional work to my schedule but I'm aiming to have the first one out sometime this month. As I get into a groove I should be able to increase my output but we'll see where that takes me before I commit to any release schedule.

Would anyone be interested in traditional album reviews, mostly centered around current releases? Something like a 15-30 minute video per album that provides objective information about the albums' effectiveness as well as my subjective opinion on whether I enjoyed it or not.

Yesterday I released a blocked reaction for Janelle Monáe's Electric Lady but wasn't aware that the Odysee link for the full reaction was broken. That's fixed now. So anyone who was looking forward to watching that one can now.

I'm trying some new audio balancing this week starting with today's videos. I know the volume is a little too loud in today's videos and I'll be adjusting that for future ones but if you have any notes or comments about the audio this week then let me know here.
