Reading through, I suspect that they are trying to restrict music to those forms similar to national/traditional/folk music. They just got rid of rock and roll here.

Adama Sandler's Medium Pace has reentered the charts at #1

It should certainly spice up performances of John Cage's As Slow as (legally) Possible.

What do they have against ambient?

I feel like asking why now is besides the point, irrelevant really.

  • Laughs in Dutch EDM * 🤣

(Hardcore/Gabber starts at ~160 BPM and goes all the way up to ~300 BPM). Definitely too fast.

So, no grindcore concerts? Oh, wait! There weren't any anyway! Fuck dictators, fuck authoritarianism!

They like to cha-cha real smooth. But not too smooth.

Michael Jackson's "Just beat it" is to be used as neutral metronome. Bohemian Rhapsody will be in the musical fire pit asap first thing in the morning. Also with "oh Donna" and "la Bamba" as well as pretty much every single music piece not used for CPR training.

It has been said, now go on and make it happen!

Huh. Guess they don't like extratone

There’s a strong chance you don’t have many extratone records in your collection. An electronic genre that operates at a tempo of 1,000 beats per minute, and can sometimes hit the startling realms of 10,000 BPM, extratone is an acquired taste to say the least—and possibly just a smidgen out of your standard tempo comfort zone

TIL my car has been making speedcore every day for the last decade.

If I take a 2min Drum and Bass track with 170bpm, add 30s of silence at the beginning and the end it would result in ~113bpm for a track of 3 min. Would this be legal? Or did they also define how to measure the bpm?

Have they defined the planet for the length of the minute? How about a Venus minute? Or a Jupiter minute?

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

That's not how tempo works. The Music played is still at a tempo of 170 beats per minute.

You wouldn't win if you were pulled over going 50 mph on a 40 mph road by saying that you were stopped at lights for 10 minutes and thus your average speed for the last half hour or whatever is under 40 mph.

I think I know what happened. Russia's capital is in the Eastern Orthodox region of the country. They celebrate big Christian holidays such as Christmas using the Julian calendar; so about two weeks later than most. So, it makes sense that they celebrate the smaller holidays one week late. April Fools?
