I believe I know why! The original upload by BLR got copyright struck by Maroon 5, so it had to be taken down. This is an upload by someone else and they likely made some edits to the video to prevent it from getting flagged by the system :)

But yes I love both these songs hahaha Sassafras in particular fucks.

For me, it’s gotta be either “Haiku”, or “Sassafras”

Awesome, thank you for letting me know! I’m not an android user and the original app release implied that the play store had the same restriction so this is good to have complete info on. I went ahead and updated the original comment!

Oh yes, sorry should have clarified - for iOS you need to build it yourself. Android you can download the APK. Thank you for the correction!

And the App Store version limits which Peertube sites you can use it with to a pre-approved list, so its usefulness atm is really limited unless you build it yourself.

(Edit: Corrected to remove play store reference)

I’ve been working on archiving/restoring material from an unpublished musical that was written in the 1980s, the playwright who originally wrote it passed away and was never able to publish it. It’s a sci-fi show that got a disturbing amount of things right about the world now (for example, there’s a song about being kept up at night staring at a screen and falling into existentialism - aka doomscrolling. The link is the playwright singing so it’s not nearly as strong singing as the demo but it gives an idea), and it all resonated with me deeply when I first read through the material.

We’ve been able to transcribe by ear most of the music, and recover the other music projects from floppy drives, while recreating the synth patches he used. I’ve even been interviewing cast members who were part of the show when it was being workshopped, to get a better picture of where everything fits in the show’s history. My hope is that maybe by the time I’m done it’ll be in a state where it’s more likely to be picked up and produced one day - because before I got to it it was very disparate and kind of scattered across a lot of different folders without much context.

I’m working on a project that’s really important to me - and I think that there’s a good chance I’ll see it through to completion at this point.

Admittedly, outside of that project… my life has not really been doing much for me lately. I’m glad to have something right now that’s helping keep me stable and sane in a world that really feels like it’s falling apart, but sometimes it really feels like I’m working to finish it and get it out there before life becomes a bit too much.
