Hannah Diamond is absolutely terrible live and on record

Do not understand the appeal whatsoever but maybe i just don’t “get” it

 

 

 

good for you, one less clash to worry about

probably because it was 44 euros compared to free, and some people probably just thought i can see them Friday instead.

 

Razmatazz will be the better gig though 

 

44 Euro in 2024 is f**k all money. I pay more than that for Taxis home from the bloody festival most years!

Ha. Unless you are outside of Barcelona, you are being totally scammed at that price though! Average salary in Spain is 27k.

I don't disagree on that and I don't want to defend Albini but In my opinion the purpose of "exposing" these things should not be punishment but to help build a culture where these things don't happen anymore and there is normative scrutiny in the first place. If we want our music scene to be safer and better we should accomodate people realising and admitting they were wrong and apparently want to be better and not call them "performative woke"

 

 

 

But there's plenty of actual "performative woke" behavior going on in the world. Back when Albini came with that Twitter apology/growth thread in 2021, I had every reason to believe he was genuine and I still do, yet owning up to lesser edgelord behavior can also be used as a way to draw attention away from yourself so that you are considered an ally and people stop bringing your past up and/or look into it further. I do concur that it's better to create a better culture and not just go after people for the sake of punitive measures.

 

Anyway, 44 euros feels like a lot for a sideshow of The National, I wonder if you could still get a free Ciutat reservation later and then resell your Dice ticket.

Yeah compared to free though, and when people can just see them on Friday. That's my general point. I'd have probably forked 44 euros for an intimate gig myself but I'm a big fan. I can imagine a lot of attendees are indifferent.

I think Lankum, clipse, jai paul and vampire weekend will sound great live. 
on the contrary, I am worried that some acts might not be worth the hype live: Lana del Rey, sza? Anyone else? 
how is Billy woods live? 


Agree on all of the above. I think Billy Woods is very similar to Earl Sweatshirt - great music, very good rapper technically speaking but not made for live music. I'll still go to the set, clash-depending but I wouldn't expect a great gig personally.

Really obvious answer but Justice's live show is just on a total other level to their recorded material. Listen to Woman Worldwide and have your brains blown out. Hearing Hyperdrama blended into the mix is going to be something very special.

 

FKA Twigs 2019 show is still one of the best things to ever happen at Primavera Sound. Came for the songs, stayed for the flaming sword dance.

 

Balming Tiger are making a name for themselves mainly because of how fun their live show is. Definitely worth venturing to a smaller stage to watch them.

 

Arca is going to have the hometown crowd and will play a true clusterf**k of sounds. Always special live.

 

I am really curious how Troye Sivan is going to sound. His latest album has consumed me and I'm praying he does it justice.

That twigs show was otherworldly, one of my favourite primavera shows of all times, will be hard to beat

 

I‘m pretty hyped about sega bodega, love the album and maybe arca will show up at that one too

Seen SZA's Lollapolooza performance a few weeks ago. It was abysmal. Karaoke stuff. Backing track etc. Singing bits and pieces of the songs.

What controversial judgments! but I'm calm, I have no intention of going to see her

I saw arca 4 times, one was unbelievably good, the other were underwhelming. Last time I saw them was at primavera 2018 (which wasn’t special imo). All dj sets with some performance elements. Has the set changed since then? Otherwise I wouldn’t mind that much seeing them

 So a bit like a DJ set, like Justice, Chems, but with miming (and some live vocals thrown over the top)?  I think it's ridiculous too, as live acts should perform live for credibility, but maybe just treat someone like SZA like a DJ set?

She has a band. I wouldn't call it a DJ set at all. And I wouldn't call a backing track in rap/r+b miming unless it's like the whole song. Even the greats like Kendrick often have a backing track underneath to fill the small gaps.

That's a good point regarding the band. I actually want to see SZA, but interested to know if she actually good live overall, regardless of whether she sings live for the entirety of her set or not. I'm not even a fan as not followed her properly, but I like Kill Bill from the brief Spotify shuffle of her songs I've done. It's just a shame when an artist has to mime during their set as you may as well just put a lookalike up on stage. You don't even need to be a great singer to be a great live act.

    • These challenges, ranging from internal conflicts to external pressures, require adept handling and strategic resolution. Organizational issues training equips employees and leaders with the skills and knowledge to identify, address, and mitigate these challenges effectively. This blog explores the significance of organizational issues training and how it can fortify an organization against various hurdles. Understanding Organizational Issues Organizational issues encompass a wide range of problems that can affect the efficiency, culture, and performance of a company. Common issues include: Communication Breakdowns: Miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings, errors, and decreased morale. Conflict Management: Interpersonal conflicts or departmental disputes can disrupt workflows and create a toxic work environment. Change Resistance: Employees may resist changes due to fear of the unknown, lack of trust, or inadequate communication. Employee Engagement: Low levels of engagement and motivation can lead to decreased productivity and higher turnover rates. Operational Inefficiencies: Inefficient processes and systems can waste resources and reduce profitability. Cultural Misalignment: Misalignment between organizational culture and business objectives can impede strategic initiatives. The Role of Organizational Issues Training Organizational issues training focuses on equipping employees with the tools and techniques needed to navigate and resolve these challenges. Here’s why it is crucial: 1. Enhancing Communication Skills Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy organization. Training programs can help employees develop active listening skills, clear articulation, and the ability to provide and receive constructive feedback. Improved communication reduces misunderstandings and fosters a collaborative environment. 2. Developing Conflict Resolution Abilities Conflict is inevitable in any organization, but it doesn’t have to be detrimental. Training equips employees with conflict resolution skills, such as negotiation, mediation, and problem-solving techniques. This helps in transforming conflicts into opportunities for growth and innovation. 3. Facilitating Change Management Change is a constant in today’s business world. Training programs on change management help employees understand the dynamics of change, develop adaptability, and learn strategies to cope with and support organizational changes. This reduces resistance and enhances the successful implementation of new initiatives. 4. Boosting Employee Engagement Engaged employees are more productive, committed, and likely to stay with the company. Training on employee engagement strategies can help managers and leaders create a motivating work environment, recognize and reward contributions, and build strong, supportive teams. 5. Improving Operational Efficiency Training in lean management, process improvement, and project management can help employees identify inefficiencies and develop solutions to streamline operations. This leads to better resource utilization, reduced costs, and improved overall performance. 6. Aligning Organizational Culture Training programs can reinforce the organization’s values, mission, and vision, ensuring that all employees are aligned with the cultural and strategic goals of the company. This alignment fosters a cohesive work environment where everyone works towards common objectives. Key Components of Organizational Issues Training 1. Communication Workshops Interactive workshops focusing on verbal and non-verbal communication, active listening, and feedback techniques help employees communicate more effectively and collaboratively. 2. Conflict Management Seminars Seminars that cover conflict resolution styles, negotiation tactics, and mediation processes provide employees with practical tools to handle disputes constructively. 3. Change Management Courses Courses that address the psychology of change, strategies for managing resistance, and frameworks for leading change initiatives help employees navigate transitions smoothly. 4. Engagement and Motivation Training Training programs that focus on motivational theories, employee recognition strategies, and team-building activities boost morale and foster a positive work environment. 5. Process Improvement Training Training in methodologies such as Lean Six Sigma, Agile, and Total Quality Management (TQM) empowers employees to enhance operational efficiency and drive continuous improvement. 6. Cultural Alignment Programs Programs that emphasize organizational values, ethical standards, and cultural integration help employees align their behavior with the company’s strategic goals. Implementing Effective Organizational Issues Training 1. Needs Assessment Conducting a thorough needs assessment helps identify the specific organizational issues that need to be addressed. This ensures that training programs are relevant and targeted. 2. Tailored Training Solutions Customized training programs that reflect the unique context and challenges of the organization are more effective than generic ones. Tailored solutions ensure that the training addresses specific needs and objectives. 3. Interactive and Experiential Learning Interactive workshops, role-playing, and real-world simulations enhance engagement and retention. Experiential learning methods provide practical experience in dealing with organizational issues. 4. Continuous Improvement Organizational issues training should be an ongoing effort. Regular refresher courses, advanced training sessions, and continuous learning opportunities help employees stay updated and improve their skills over time. 5. Evaluation and Feedback Assessing the impact of training programs through feedback, surveys, and performance metrics helps in refining and improving the training initiatives. Continuous evaluation ensures that the training remains effective and relevant.   https://www.sprintzeal.com/

    • in his defence apparently he couldnt hear a thing 😅
    • I’m taking my kids for the first time this year. Is it disrespectful to others if you have your kids on your shoulders during gigs?    I assume not seen as some people have adults on shoulders. And flags pretty much block out the view on the main stages anyway. But I just wanted to know other people’s thoughts on this?   is it less acceptable in Woodsies or one of the smaller tents?   I’ve been stood behind Stephen Merchant at a gig before. Couldn’t see a thing.
