@marioguzman.bsky.social I mean how helpful was it? I never learned with Duolingo. My kids and some other family members did use it. A thing I heard about them is that the lessons are a bit random and not necessarily that good enough to master a language in a practical setting.

@marioguzman.bsky.social And? How much did you learn that you use in real life?

@JohnPhilpin yeah I know what you mean. I find his voice mostly ok and her uses his head voice well. But with backfield, I think that Aviv’s voice is worse. He has a distinct but a kind of an unpleasant voice. He’s a famous and influential songwriter but his voice gives me me a similar feeling to Geddy’s. It took me a while to get used to Geddy’s voice. I can’t say I like it but I can listen to it now.
I remember that in a couple of my songs when I was singing, someone “complimented” me that it sounded like Geddy’s. And I thought yeah, that’s not a compliment for me 😆. I now find other singers for my songs. Lesson learned.As a guitarist, I don’t think that Wilson is phenomenal. But he’s really good for sure, especially on rhythm. Not such a strong soloist as the guitarists he hires, which is penalty why he hires them.

@JohnPhilpin wow. Quite a collection. I didn’t know you were such a fan of his work. He’s one off my favorite contemporary musicians in (prog) rock. I didn’t listen to No Man albums, but Porcupine and his solo work are in my DNA. The first couple of Blackfield I’ve listened to as well.

@gregmoore I discovered this album late, within the last 8 years or so, but it’s become one of my favorites. It’s so good all the way through.
