HH Not Available In China


CureTheSane

Recommended Posts

I'm in Beijing at the moment.

When i go to China I just used my phone normally.

Vodafone charge 5 bucks to use my normal plan on roaming and the benefit is that as it is routed through the Vodafone network I can access all the shit that's banned in china. Facebook, google, google maps, YouTube, etc etc

But I'm in Beijing for the first time this trip and reception sucks, so I find myself flipping between my phone roaming and hotel wifi.

Just saw that when in Chinese wifi data heavy harmonies is also blocked.

So I guess it is a threat to China somehow...

Here's what I get.

That sounds like the issue is this end not China's end and sounds like CloudFront blocks Chinese IPs.

It really wasn't a big deal for me.

I'm with Vodafone so could access it regardless on mobile data rather than hotel wifi 

Just thought it was interesting how far reaching the sites are that china blocks.

Hey Dan,

Not sure if it's related to this thread But I've just noticed three very suspicious new members.

All joined at the same time yesterday, all were just looking at the same thread, then logged off at the same time and all three have similar "bot" sounding names. 

I know bots infiltrate as guests, but I've not known them to actually become members. 

Very strange.

I noticed the same thing, they were following the "Are Time Warp Records releases accepted?" thread.

Yep, spammers/botters, posting in Russian. Mike and I could see the posts until I banned them, but nobody else. Since I implemented the anti-spam group probationary measures about 10 years ago we haven't been hit by spammers like some other boards/blogs do. They're out there, but there posts never make it to being public...

Side note: I visited Beijing for the first time.

I've been to china 13 times before, but never Beijing.

Was shocked to see the unity they have with Russia. One of our tour drivers have the Chinese and Russian flags together on his dashboard, building everywhere with Russian words.

Not a conspiracy theorist at all, but it caught me by surprise just how hand in hand the north of china seems to be with Russia.

Not really that surprising considering they are both communist countries with very similar ideals. China is a very weird country though. In some respects they are worse than Russia, but they actually give more to the world than Russia so are often viewed as less dangerous (which they aren't).

    • New song 'I Died Tonight'.    
    • This one's a bit scrappy. 'Sexy in Japan' is actually a half decent tune, but I can't say I'll be returning to this one. 
    • Oh, lol, shit, yeah, it looks like it. Would've helped to read that above. Haha. Oh well, that explains a few things... 
    • I thought that this was their debut album? Are they same Daytona as years ago? I thought that band was Swiss.
    • You could mount an argument that it's pretty safe, but more to the point, and more significantly, is it's bloody good. Lots of good to great songs on here. Plenty of keepers, but my fave is probably 'Fade Away.' 
    • This is passable. Initially I thought they were trying too hard to be something like a new Guns N' Roses or something, even though there's no real actual comparisons, but as the album went on I didn't dislike what they were doing. Not something I'd really play again, but not too bad. 'Jar Of Dirt' was my favourite song. 
    • Haha, the ending's good. I hate when it pointlessly drags on and you need to clip it yourself. How are you going with editing songs? When you say you removed the bridge and added a solo, did you use the Replace feature? Or did you do a completely new song with new prompts?  Man, I am struggling so hard with that Replace feature. Sometimes it works seamlessly, but try changing the lyrics in a pre-chorus or chorus and it just won't have a bar of it. Very frustrating when you have a melody you want to retain but you can't amend the song to your liking because the new feature doesn't play ball.  This is one I worked on recently and if you have a look and listen, the lyrics at the start of the pre-chorus don't match the song. I will actually (whether I like it or not) live with the lyrics in this version, because no matter how many times I try to get it to sing "The echo inside," it just won't do it. And "living inside" works okay anyway. And I like the tune too much to scrap it.  If you listen to the full track, check out the ripper guitar solo. I, uh, played, um... it, myself. Of course.   https://suno.com/song/e0591bf8-6721-46e3-ab8a-22f58b5bc719  
    • Good album. I'd love it if someone could tell me who these guys remind me of, as in I thought I'd read the write-up and it'd explain that these guys went by another name a few years ago but they changed their name. I can't for the absolute balls of me think of the name of the band or even the name of the song, which was a huge melodic track highly regarded by most here. Album was good, but there was one real blinder. I don't even know how to go about trying to figure out who the band was. But man to christ, does it sound like this project. Plenty of good songs on this one - I really like it.  If I recall correctly the song had a similar vibe and maybe even title to 'Over You' by Shy, but a bit more uptempo and more well produced. Man I wish I could remember it... Grrr. 
    • Pretty awesome EP. I think every song is really good, including the instrumental. The two tracks with the LeBrock dude are absolutely top notch - 'Cold as hell' and 'I want blood.'
