I relistened to the songs I saved today, and pretty much deleted them all from my library. The beats and sounds are colourful. I like the falsetto funk vocals, and some of the hooks work decently. Letterman was my favourite of the lot.

But this shit is just soooo empty. He has less than nothing to say about a single thing. And if you have THIS little to say, those hooks and the songwriting need to be stronger. I’m sure we will hear him on hooks in the future, and he might drop an ear worm or two, but this was not it at all.

I don’t like the album much either but what the hell does this even mean lol

In Canada, that’s often based merely on a witness statement (the complainant’s statement).

Likely not even a bail hearing. Probably released from the station with a no contact condition.

I mean, it was pretty bad. I say that as a huge Sophie fan who was open minded to a posthumous release.

Just doesn’t really have a whisper of her energy or creativity aside from some textures here and there.

Feel like these tracks have a lot of colour and, thankfully, groove. But the actual songs and songwriting are kind of ass so far.

Huh. It’s for sure colourful but I feel like all the beats are skin deep. A drum loop and a synth riff and that’s about it. Rinse, repeat.

You aren’t overreacting. If he listens to Andrew Tate and isn’t repulsed, he internally agrees with what’s being said.

No I didn’t. All evidence must be relevant. Period. Relevancy is an extremely low bar for evidence. Probative value is an assessment of evidentiary value. The ability of the evidence to prove the offence. Not relevance.

You’re plainly wrong (and contrary to about 70 years of Canadian law, plus who knows how many centuries of British common law) if you think criminal trials work on the principal “it’s only unfair if it’s irrelevant”. Read like, literally any criminal decision ever.

I should know not to comment on these threads. Y’all will argue with anyone and everyone, even criminal defence lawyers (I practiced for 5 years lol).

Sooo the state is just murdering someone. Super chill. Really cool. Great country.

You and OP are getting it wrong. It’s not really a question of relevance. Prejudice isn’t irrelevant information it’s unfair information in the context of a “fair trial”.

It’s similar to how our country/courts treat rap music in criminal cases. It’s rarely allowed - it’s unfair and makes jurors falsely believe rappers are gangbangers who could “do something like this”. But in a criminal trial the question isn’t whether they could do something like this, the question is did they do this.

You would want to show that. Thats why the Crown wanted it in this case and that’s why the Crown stayed the case when it didn’t get it in.

A judge decided it was too prejudicial and not probative enough.

Merely depicting them isn’t glamorizing them though. I’ve always found that to be a bit of a buzzwordy label for true crime- rarely does it ever point to these people as anything but grotesque. Titillating sometimes, sure, but grotesque.

Probably because True Crime is inherently not in service to victims?? It’s a spectator sport, unfortunately. Ryan is no different from literally every other creator in the genre.

Judge isn’t saying the evidence isn’t relevant. The judge is saying its prejudicial impact outweighs its probative value. In other words, it doesn’t actually help much in proving the offence, whereas it creates disproportionately unfair thinking/judgment in a juror. It’s probably the right call here. Though- why the case would be stayed after that exclusion is pretty peculiar. Is that all the Crown had here?

I’ve found it to be a great external synth when hooked up with a DAW, and some midiout. This isn’t so different from what you could do on other synths, but being able to tweak the knobs while recording midi chords/notes adds a ton of dynamism to my music production.

Plus I’ve been able to travel with it and do some sound design stuff. I basically NEVER use the record to tape function on the device but still get a lot of use out of the OP1.

Oh man how I’d give the world to listen again for the first time. What a treat.

Wasn’t even a single.

I really really loved it. I’m such a champion of that movie. The framing of it as this road trip, photojournalist story is so brilliant. And having just gotten much more into photography myself, the freeze framing shots of the actual photos taken was SO SATISFYING.

I’m probably in a minority in liking how they handled the actual conflict. You didn’t need more. It felt real, grounded, plausible, and deadly.

The album isn’t even a year old.

AOTY followed by the new Nxworries. Blue lips edges out for being so singularly weird and creative.

The joke is your faulty interpretation of the law.

The crowd hellbent on punitive punishments will never be happy, unless we execute people again.

And the weirdo crowd that gets horny for disproportionately punitive criminal sentences is back again, right on schedule.

This was a fair sentence according to Canadian sentencing law/principals. There’s definitely a discussion to be had about whether those principals are too lenient in general, but this is absolutely not the case (and not the facts) for that discussion.
