There's been a recent uptick in "bad ads" - that is, automated ads that seem out of place for the shows on which they air. There have been some companies and institutions putting their ads into more "friendly" or publicly-palatable categories in order to have their material air on channels where it would not otherwise be welcome.
I've received a few messages about such ads appearing on Hex Positive and I'm working with my hosting platform to correct the problem. If you hear something on my show that seems at odds with the message of the program or with my principles, please let me know right away.
In the meantime, PLEASE DO NOT UNSUBSCRIBE IF YOU HEAR A BAD AD. Automated ads are chosen by category and showrunners only have so much control over what their hosting platform chooses to go in those spots. Only ads that are read by me are 100% approved to be on the show.
Thank you for your patience while all of us deal with the insidious capitalist machinations of advertising that we unfortunately need in order to keep bringing you the content you love.

We're ready for you to join The Creative Lounge Discord Community!
Community rules & guidelines are below the cut for anyone who'd like to preview them before joining.
Members must be at least 18 years old.
The Creative Lounge Community Invite
The Creative Lounge is a Discord community of creators and lovers of different genres, crafts, and talents that, together, foster a positive creative environment.
A good portion of this community is dedicated to content creators who work with different mediums. That's by design. We inspire one another and often collaborate. I hope The Lounge makes it easier to do both!
There's also room in here to play. I'm arranging the ability to stream art and video games in here, as well as host virtual tabletop games (these adventures are fantastic fodder for art, animation, stories, and audio works)!
Art and storytelling have been part of the human experience since our beginnings. They withstand disease, war, natural and unnatural catastrophes, and most impressively, time. Be proud of what you contribute.
Community Rules & Guidelines:
Rule #1: Be Aware. This is a shared space. You must be at least 18 years old to join this server. Individuals from all places and all walks of life congregate here. The sharing of personal information (name, location, etc.) is discouraged. Don't share personal images of anyone under the age of 18.
Rule #2: Be Respectful. Any disputes between members ought to be resolved privately. Disruptive behavior is not tolerated! No racism, sexism, hate speech, trolling, abuse, spam, picking fights, harassment, etc. Direct and indirect threats towards any other person are strictly prohibited and will incur an instant ban. Avoid discussing sensitive topics (examples: religion, politics). Try to keep the conversation relevant to the channel you are in. This is a multi-fandom, multi-shipping community. Hate directed at fandoms, characters, or ships is not allowed. While age gap ships are welcome, teacher/student ships are not (if characters are portrayed as teacher and student in canon material, do not share fanworks of those ships here). Don't steal content or ideas. Do not repost or share anything found here without the permission of that content's creator. When sharing content by others, they must be credited in your post. When sharing links to your content, ensure that it is thoroughly tagged in your post. Any NSFW content should be shared in the gated channels. No underage (less than 18 years old) or incestuous NSFW content (in ANY form, regardless of how brief it may be) is allowed in this server. Use tags and spoilers (if applicable) for “trigger warning” kind of content. Examples of warning tags:
-Graphic depictions of violence
-Character death
-Rape/non-con/dub-con (A/B/O works are considered dub-con) Other things such as phobias, body horror, blood, etc, should also be tagged. If you would tag it on AO3 or a social media post, tag it here. If unsure, ask a mod for help!
Rule #3: Be Creative. This space was made so that content creators may meet and interact with each other and with fans of transformative works. It is encouraged (but not mandatory) to participate in Lounge events and challenges. Use this space to discuss your content and ideas, share tips, ask questions, etc.
Rule #4: Be Kind. This is meant to be a community. Remember to encourage and support one another. Visible support such as reblogging/retweeting, commenting, giving kudos, etc., ought to be considered part of being a Lounger. Do not simply use this server (or myself) as your marketing platform. Self-promotion is not only encouraged, but expected. However, when you promote your work, stick around to throw some support and encouragement at others.
It’s something about red pill podcasters that love to take statistics and lie about what it’s actually saying . Either they doing it on purpose or jus ignorant reading them .
After raving about his music on Blonde Vibrations and being blown away by his set at Coachella 2023, this was one concert that we could not wait to attend. Dominic Fike's road to finally performing in the United Kingdom was definitely something to count down the days to.
Clearly, we were not alone in this excitement. Fans had seemingly been queuing since the early hours for this show which is just a testament to how dedicated his audience is. This is something I noticed throughout the show, as the noise levels from the audience during the first song of the set, 'How Much Is Weed?', were just booming. I could barely hear Fike himself during the earlier points of the set.
To sum up the evening, it exceeded our already high expectations. From the lighthearted anecdotes joking at legal reasons for being unable to enter the country before this tour, to the switch up between studio versions and live renditions of songs, Fike kept his audience on their toes. Something I really enjoyed was the variation in his performance styles, as it provided an experience more interesting than a usual sing-a-long. 'Why' is a great example of this.
Something we have discussed on Blonde Vibrations before is having the desire to hear a good portion of one's new record during an artist's tour and this is exactly what Fike provided. The set list included both hits and (in my opinion) underrated tracks from his recent studio album 'Sunburn', which the fans had already memorised. He also sprinkled in classic songs such as 'Politics & Violence' and 'Come Here' from older projects which still brought about the same excitement from the audience.
Overall, this show was full of charisma and will definitely hold a place as one of my favourite shows of the year (and there is some tough competition). My only regret is not purchasing tickets for London Night Two, which featured a surprise performance from Bakar...
Nadie tiene un solo interés y nadie se entretiene hablando siempre de lo mismo. En este podcast voy a hablar de todo lo que quiera, en el orden que quiera y como yo quiera. Esperen escuchar sobre música, películas, series, quejas sobre la vida, libros, salud, celebridades, chisme, fandoms, redes sociales y cualquier cosa que se me pase por la mente al momento de grabar.
Disponible en Spotify, Apple y Google Podcasts.
Espero que les guste ♡ Síganme en mis redes sociales para más actualizaciones ;)
Here are the links to the first episode of Spellbound Soirée! Sorry, I'm dumb and forgot to post them a few days ago when the episode was actually released. Also, a few places I've distributed to, I couldn't get a link to the episode, so they're not included here. I've noticed a few things I didn't like about this episode as well, so hopefully going forward I can make these changes and make this series better and better!
Da generazioni, la musica pop ha suscitato reazioni appassionate, dimostrando un ciclo di indignazione e dibattito.
Dal jazz scandaloso agli scandali dell'hip-hop, ogni innovazione ha incontrato critiche. Persino artisti come Prince e i Beatles sono stati al centro del fuoco incrociato.
La Disco Demolition Night del '79 è stata un punto di svolta nella storia della reazione contro la musica pop.
La Sagra della Primavera di Stravinsky ha provocato una rivolta nel 1913, mentre negli anni '30 gli irlandesi marciavano contro il jazz.
Anche Beyoncé è stata oggetto di controversie nel 2016.
La musica pop sfida confini e convenzioni, sempre provocatrice e preziosa.
