I've pissed people off in full threads for years to the point some idiots wanted me banned and I never got an ask Moka either. I am also jealous.
Maybe I'll start posting in here whenever I drink alone.
― Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 09:35 (nine years ago) link
Moka, how is your bar doing? Are the musically-named shots selling well?
― some kind of terrible IDM with guitars (sleeve), Saturday, 6 December 2014 09:41 (nine years ago) link
Yes, they are! So well in fact that I opened a second bar this year and I'm going for a third next year, just looking for the right location.
besides the common shots, we had 10 specials shots that you guys helped me name.... I had to cut a couple to reduce time/stock. Unfortunately I had to let go 'Barracuda' and 'Tago Mago' which were my favorite in terms of name but the ones that required more time to be made and they weren't that popular.
― Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 10:00 (nine years ago) link
I also get to play my music on both bars (the first is a mixed bag of everything I like without paying attention to genre, some peoplemight hate it for trendy (the few big mainstream artists I have in that playlist are usually in deepcuts that rockists always complain about) the second is mainly focused on soul/jazz/blues/funk/rockabilly but we have house djs now and then and an awesome blues/rock band on weekends)
At first few people understood what I was going for with the second bar and thought it lacked the 'boho hipstery" vibe of my first bar... I think they were expecting it to be more focused on rock music when I was thinking more about a place where I can chill while listening to soul music. The place looks gorgeous and cozy so eventually we found an audience and we're now packed in both venues.
The third place will be brazilian inspired. Tropicalia and filled with colors and flowers and all those things.
― Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 10:17 (nine years ago) link
Rockists that come expecting to hear Freebird and all those classic rock songs which I don't intend to listen to for the 2000th time in my life seem dissapointed but we compensate with lots of beautiful women in my bars. Our audience in both is mainly women (which makes it miles better for me, I'd hate to be the only girl at an all dude's bar rocking to ac/dc) and I dont know if it works the same in the US/UK but if the ladies come to your bar the men will follow.
― Moka, Saturday, 6 December 2014 10:28 (nine years ago) link
I mean dissapointed because as I mentioned earlier they'll approach me asking for something like Red Hot Chili Peppers and then come back after I played something like Walkabout because they want a popular one but I have none.

XP if by "dead" you mean "no longer the be-all, end-all of music criticism, if it ever was, which is itself an extremely dubious fucking proposition," then yes. its just an online music mag. nothing more. few pieces of good writing on it here and there. fair amount of shit writing there as well.
the only people who were stupid and naive enough to think it or any other music review website/blog/etc. would or could remain pure and unadulterated by some sort of compromise or advertising are, well, chris ott, along w/ the anthony fantanos & byron crawfords of the world. which is why they're on these moronic "ethics in music journalism" crusades in various forms. nuki fits right in.

anthony fantanos is funny because I met lots of people from his area in CT that had the same skewed music-didn't-exist-prior-to-early-00s-emo/post rock perspective of music. Not that that has anything to do with what we're talking about. Just more thread derailing.
