Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?

The most important objective of any modern musician/composer, due to the globalisation and ease of access to endless amounts of music through streaming, is to catch the listeners interest as quickly as you can. Regardless of genre the general audience demands a reason to listen to what you make; and with an oversaturated market like music production, there is little they won't have heard already.
How do you avoid being uninteresting, but not pretentious?
Using cush chords, simply put is the method of retaining the tonic (first) chord whilst shifting the other chords in your progression to another modal set of chords, in a new key.
For example, let's begin in C major. The 2 5 4 1 pattern would consist of:
Dm / Gmaj / Fmaj / Cmaj
This sounds fantastic by itself, but listeners have heard this progression 1000 times without knowing it. So how do we engage them?
Let's say we use cush chords, and shift everything EXCEPT the tonic C major to the key of Eb major, a minor third above. You use the respective chords from this key aside from the tonic C.
Fm / Bb7sus / Abm / Cmaj
(Instructive video by openstudiojazz for visual explanations) 
And here is a transcribed example of these sorts of chordal changes and methods used:
Now your progression sounds vastly more open, more engaging more interesting. This isn't limited to just shifting a minor third above and you can do it as many times as you want in a composition. Implementing something simple like this gives your composing the edge above standard methods used by the majority of others in your position.
Happy composing! 
let me know if composition effortposts are something wanted or not

Jack LaSota, or 'Ziz,' is the mysterious leader of the Zizians and was arrested on Sunday evening alongside fellow group member Michelle Zajko in Allegany County. The pair are being held in the Allegany County jail on firearm and trespassing offenses and charges of obstructing or hindering authorities, according to online court records.
Further details about the charges against LaSota, who uses she/her pronouns, and Zajko were not readily available Monday. An attorney for LaSota did not immediately return a request for comment.
The Maryland State Police, the Allegany County State's Attorney's Office and the FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday; courts and many government agencies are closed in observation of President's Da

the Dutch global Classical Music superstar, hated his primary fandom demographic (Boers) in - 49
- 96
There was this !dutch violinist/ orchestra director who became famous worldwide, by having these "informal" classical music concerts/shows, where peeps in the audience would dance in the aisles, or even the musicians or AndrΓ© himself would walk down the aisles themselves, while celebrating famous classical music.
This was considered radical for Boomers, who found the dour and sour and uptight classical music conformity of Europe to be to too stifling. People like my parents were pretty excited to watch his shows and performances on DSTV, which had become more common in Safrica, and appreciated his musical acumen, whilst having much more lighthearted tones in his shows.
Here's a bull attacking a woman!! 
He also looks like an eccentric mad-scientist nutjob with his hair! 
In 2010 he had a tour in 
https://www.andrerieu.com/en/about-andre/my-biography/2010
Unfortunately his weak !dutch genes were no match for the filth and garbage of Safrica, and he got a debilitating ear infection mid tour. 
DRAMA!
Drama had however occurred over time in the 2010s when AndrΓ© Rieu obtained the notable quirk, in that he REFUSED 
to speak the Colonizer language of Afrikaans!!!! 
This caused a lot of seeth for Boers, who ironically made the lionshare of his fandom in the country, even beyond the large Bonglish CD-buyers in Cape Town. This social media drama has been largely purged by time and linkrot (omg this like 15 years ago 
) But it was pretty big drama.
In his tours of 2010 & 2012, he had repeated numerous times that he had been disappointed in the demographics makeup of his shows, which as can be predicted, were always overwhelmingly 
He was especially disappointed to find Safrican black peeps didn't really give a shit, despite his massive catering towards them in all his Safrican tours, whether in Cape Town or Suncity. Especially in his "My African Dream" shows, which he tailored to include lots of black opera singers, local black dancers, and it was still 99% mayo

AndrΓ© Rieu, King of the waltz and musical hero to many South Africans, still refuses to speak a word of Afrikaans or even Dutch onstage.
Last year already many of his fans asked why Rieu did not speak a word of Afrikaans or Dutch on stage.
He has toured across the globe, always making an effort to speak at least a word of the language of the country in which he is touring. 
Rieu is aware that many of his fans in South Africa are Afrikaans speaking and that they are able to understand the Dutch heard on the DVDs.
Country's demographic 
When Volksblad asked Rieu in an official enquiry why he does not speak Afrikaans or Dutch onstage in South Africa, he said: "No comment."
"He wanted to make it easier for his fans to travel to the show, because not everyone will be able to travel all the way to Sun City. He also hopes to then see an audience that is a better representation of the country's demographic."
Rieu has said that he would like to see an audience that is 50% black and 50% white. Last year, he asked the Bloemfontein Children's choir to perform with him in his hometown of Maastricht in the Netherlands. His condition that the choir should consist of 50% black members, was heavily criticised.

I tried really hard to find old twitter 
about drama when AndrΓ© Rieu stated in front of his 99% mayo audience how sad and disappointed he was that so few black peeps had come to his Cape Town and Suncity shows, and with many people stating how full of shit he was, because if he wanted a primary black audience, he should have hosted a show in Soweto stadiums (he didn't cuz it was unsafe 
)
Like holy hells there was scores of drama - you guys don't appreciate how linkrot has culled so much drama of our forebears 
Like I remember newspaper articles about the drama and events but that shit is now banished to the shadowrealm i literally cannot find anything on the face of the internet to prove what I'm recounting to you guys, it's information just gone into the ether

I hate those stupid posts from people announcing they are leaving an internet forum (I actually love those posts).
I'm banned on my main so I'll post it here since it doesn't actually matter.
I'm bored. You're boring. rDrama is dead.

Shockingly the CPI (customer prices index) has risen again to 3%, nobody in the country could've predicted this happening.
Of course, this doesn't mean much of anything when prices seem to be entirely arbitrary, as seen by this monstrosity
Alongside non-existent wage growth
Results entirely in the obvious choice to get out of this country as fast as I can. But the next vote will fix things surely.

People who identify as animals have been warned not to discriminate against others "on account of their species" at an event this weekend. The Scotiacon convention is expected to attract 1,200 "furries" to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow. Its code of conduct warns that "harassment of any kind is not tolerated", which includes race, gender, sexuality or "the species of someone's fursona" β jargon for the animal that a person identifies as. Guests are also warned against exhibiting artworks depicting paedophilia, described as "cub porn", or humans having s*x with animals.
The organisers said: "We are aware that this is a difficult rule since the actual age of drawn characters is open to interpretation, especially where they are in a cartoon style. "Appearances count. Characters with a very childlike appearance and/or baby face may be considered children in the context of this rule." The event began in 2011 and has grown from a few dozen attending to 1,170 "furs" last year. Tickets cost Β£45 a day, or up to Β£480 with hotel accommodation. The code of conduct for artworks also states: "No zoophilia and/or bestiality involving humans or largely human-like characters (eg anime catgirls, elves or centaurs) with animals or largely non-morphic characters (four-legged) is allowed. "Other species-transcending sexual activity (eg anthros and humans) is generally allowed. "Potty-related activities are highly discouraged. This includes scat, watersports, adult diapers in use, and vomit. We do not entirely exclude this content but only seek to accept items with very mild depictions which would be suitable for a general viewing public." Delegates must not come dressed in "fetish gear" such as "anatomically correct" costumes, jockstraps or exposed buttocks. However, dog collars, leather wristbands and "accessories used in an innocent context, such as a dog harness that is part of a sled dog costume", are permitted.
Academic studies have disclosed the tensions within the furry community which includes subdivisions such as herbivore or carnivore, predator or prey, traditional animals or more fantastical creatures. In 2023 the Anthropomorphic Research Project, an international group of academics, highlighted problems including "bigotry, discrimination, intolerance and bullying in the fandom". Last year it emerged that a Scottish pupil had been allowed to identify as an animal in Aberdeen. The city council said at least one child had been recognised as having species dysphoria but it declined to specify which animal. In species dysphoria, a person feels that their body is the wrong species. People with the condition are sometimes known as therians. Numerous children are said to have tried to identify as animals, including foxes, dragons, birds, snakes and sharks, although it is unclear whether they were serious. Last year the Scottish Daily Mail said a secondary school pupil had been allowed to identify as a wolf. A council, which the newspaper did not name, said the pupil was part of a group known as furries.

Reddit Threads:
Even the usually lib-leaning bongs of Reddit are pretty cognizant of what the furry subculture really en-tails, and opt to get in on the cyberbullying.
Of course, some onlooking Amerilard furtwinks take issue with this rampant fursecution. 
Bros, I thought being trans-species was just an alt-right hoax... 
To conclude: Say what you will about bongs, but at least it's like the one western country where shit like furry conventions get appropriate pushback and backlash in the media every time they're held. Lest we forget, the same convention was met with protests and journos digging up the vile NSFW accounts of attendees just a couple years ago.
