Sorry about that; I’m kind of new to Lemmy in general, e.g. I’m not sure offhand what my exact post-count & comment-count were before today, but probably both of them were in the single-digits. So, at the time I posted these, I wasn't sure about what users’ etiquette/expectations for how frequenly one should/shouldn't post tend to be like.
I'll keep in mind that I shouldn't post so many links all in a row in the future, and especially avoid posting many songs by the exact same band all in a row (which I suspect is the reason why the first several that I posted today got some downvotes).

Here's a great song from a band that — unfortunately — deserved more recognition than they ever got.
R.I.P. Keith Baxter
(P.S.: for any 3 Colours Red fans who aren't yet aware of this: the band's singer/bassist Pete Vuckovic has a personal website here, along with a link to this one new song from 2019 and even a music video (on Vimeo) for it.)
edited to add: the music video for this song can be watched here

This is a live-in-the-studio version of a song from this band's debut LP — IMO, the best one from that album — which was released in 2016. It's basically early-1970s style retro hard rock, similar to Mountain, Black Sabbath's early albums, Nektar's early albums, Atomic Rooster's second album, Budgie, etc.

angela「DEAD SET」Music Clip
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/16242759
This is a music video for a song from angela's 3rd major-label LP, from 2006. The song is an "image song" related to a 51-minute-long "TV special" which is a prequel to the 2005 mecha anime series Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor.
(For more information about the song, see this page on one of Wikia/Fandom.com's wikis, but be warned that — as is generally the case with that particular wikifarm — this website tends to have so many obnoxious autoplaying videos & other extraneous bloat that opening any page hosted there might slow your computer/browser down to a crawl!)
MaidaVale live (Full Show) | Rockpalast | 2020
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/16241047
This is a concert by the band MaidaVale that was filmed/broadcasted by WDR Rockpalast, mainly consisting of songs from the band's second LP, as well as two songs from their first LP.
(The first album's music is basically early-1970s style retro hard rock, similar to Mountain, Black Sabbath’s early albums, Nektar’s early albums, Atomic Rooster’s second album, Budgie, etc.; whereas the second album's music is more of a motorik/repetitive style of psychedelic rock and/or noise rock, similar to Loop, Hawkwind, or (occasionally) Primal Scream.)
Well, although usually it's a good idea to read the original post first, in this instance the original post is at best misleading because it refers to Plasma as an "operating system" rather than a desktop environment.
(Or for those who want to use even more precise terminology: its full name is either "Plasma Desktop" or "KDE Plasma Desktop", because KDE also has some non-desktop environments such as Plasma Mobile and Plasma Bigscreen... none of which are as popular as Plasma Desktop, though, so usually Plasma Desktop is colloquially called just "Plasma".)
There's also a newer federated chat (plus VoIP signalling) protocol called Matrix that's worth a look.
One feature that sets it apart from XMPP is its support for multi-client synchronization: if you log into the same user account from multiple clients (e.g. where one of them is a desktop app and another one is a smartphone app), your chat history will be synchronized across them. Or as one of the Matrix developers put it: "XMPP is all about message passing, whereas Matrix is all about state synchronisation".
On the downside, though: although the Matrix protocol is designed to support presence-status, it seems that many (?) of the public Matrix homeservers have that feature disabled for performance reasons.
