Comments Off on The Bucketlist With AUTOPILOT

*In this series we pose the age old questions to a wide array of music lovers. As fans of music most of us keep a mental list of active bands we want to see live that we haven’t yet seen. The Bucketlist brings to you those lists of your favorite artists and why those bands mean so much to them*

Hey there! It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these and its time to spin the bucketlist wheel again. Yes, bands consists of people like us and they also same the affinity for fellow bands or idols, so to speak. Today, we bring you our brothers from across the border up north. Hailing from Canada, AUTOPILOT has become a staple in the Sasktatoon Indie music scene. Known for their thoughtful lyrics, powerful hooks, dynamic stage show, and obsessive hard work, they somehow seem to effortlessly walk the line between passionate art and massive appeal. Over the course of 3 full-length records, and one EP, they’ve become road warriors, touring relentlessly across Canada and the US.

And today, we host them on our million dollar section of The Bucketlist. We ask them one simple question whose answers begs the metal idols they still haven’t had the privilege to check them out live. Some interesting answers await you, go find out and see if they match any of your idols.

  • METAL NEXUS:  “As a touring band/musician you get the chance to see a lot of bands up close and personal. A luxury not everyone has. A lot of music lovers keep a “Bucketlist” of bands that we want to see perform live. What are the top active bands you would like to see live (in order) and why?“

AUTOPILOT:

“RADIOHEAD
One of my favourite bands that I’ve never seen live. They are one of the most creative mainstream bands that have been around forever. They are amazing songwriters, but seeing video of their shows doesn’t do it justice. I imagine it would be a mind-altering experience kind of like the experience you have at a Flaming Lips show.

THE STROKES
Who knows if they will get it together long enough to put out another album and tour, but they have been a big influence on our band.

WILCO
One of my favourite albums is Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Our bass player, Jordan, saw Wilco a few years back in Chicago. I’m still hearing about how amazing the show was.

MARK LANEGAN
Perhaps the most under-rated musician that came out of the whole Seattle thing. After hearing him with Queens of the Stone Age and his album Bubblegum, I’ve always wanted to see him live. He puts out albums every few years still and we were too young to even know about the Screaming Trees at that time.“

Meanwhile, the band has released the official music video for their single, “Undisguised.” Directed by Kevin Van Witt, “Undisguised” is off of the band’s latest album, ‘Afterglow‘. Go check that out down below.

Android vs iOS

Comments Off on Android vs iOS

There are many differences between iOS and Android. For example, Android vs iOS app design is something all businesses must consider when developing an app. Although, many apps are available on both pieces of technology. For example, now that cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly more popular, those wanting to buy bitcoin with bank account details can use apps that you can download on both Android and iOS. There are pros and cons to each Apple and Android product. And the price points are very different depending on what you want.

How Android differs from iOS

Price:

Apple has dependably been at the highest point of the market regarding cost, yet the iPhone has taken things with an underlying cost of XX 1,000 dollars and the telephone XS Max begins at $ 1,100. . In the event that you need progressively reasonable, the iPhone begins with x $ 750 and begins with a telephone with more than $ 8 $ 600. On the off chance that you would prefer not to spend so much, you can go 2-year-old telephones at $ 7 $ 450. It gets less expensive as you’ve just placed it in the market.

For sheer scale and assortment, contending nothing with Android. On the off chance that you need, you can spend a great deal of cash – for instance, Google Pixel 3xL and Samsung Galaxy Note line nearly Apple’s iPhone valuing, yet extraordinary, lower by various producers, costs There is additionally a huge choice of handset sets, and purposefully improves the stage running insignificant equipment. The truth of the matter is that in the field of Android, rather than going into the field, normally opens for the field of mindfulness. And whenever the point come about the brand audemars piguet comes on the top it has a top rank brand in its nature.

Application:

Take a gander at the numbers It’s practically similar to what number of applications you’ll discover in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Android Apps: 3.5 million, iOS applications: 2.2 million

Indeed, the number isn’t the best client on the grounds that the vast majorities of us utilize a bunch of applications and are accessible on the most well-known stages. Customarily, the designer has been making increasingly productive stages, so first there has been a propensity for new applications to come there, yet the pieces of the Android advertise keep on developing. In the US, iOS still takes the way, however engineers are focused on rapidly in different spots.

With Play Store is as yet the greatest level of free applications contrasted with the application store. Be that as it may, the best versatile amusement is still on iOS – and they’re not generally on Android.

Alternative application stores and activities:

It’s moderately simple to side load applications on Android. Set up case tanks, download an APK and you’re setting up in Settings. There are numerous elective Android application stores from Play Store, such as happymod, which functions in a very similar way to the official Play Store but gives you modified versions, new versions that have all the premium features unlocked, extra features, and even offer premium subscriptions free of charge. If you are looking for happymod for windows, you will need the help of an Android emulator to install it on your PC or Mac. Apple is against outsider application stores. On the off chance that you need to have wide determination of applications and simple CDL transfers, your decision is clear.

Maps:

As another route framework, Apple Map was not an awesome begin, however it has improved essentially. The primary highlights are comparable, you can download the maps utilized disconnected, get precise assessments as indicated by the present traffic conditions, and you can get bearings to drive or drive. You will likewise discover open travel and booking combination. They all are fine and where you go.

Apple Map Cycle isn’t a thing where Google Maps offers. By and large, scale and nature of Google Maps is undesirable. It is more intrigued by and is more definite than Apple maps, however fluctuate from exactness. By taking a gander at the determination, we’ll generally pick Google Maps, and despite the fact that you can jump on iOS, it’s better on Android since it’s a default route application.

Battery life and identification:

Battery life is a colossal factor for cell phone proprietors as the greatest business. Correlation of two stages is troublesome in light of the fact that there is no basic equipment. We can say that the MB rating is enhanced to augment MB rating batteries; however you can without much of a stretch purchase an Android gadget with a huge battery that evacuates the iPhone effectively. Will be

Both Android and iOS enable you to break your battery utilization in a look, parts from the application, however just Android assesses how much your battery life is. The left they offer ground-breaking investment funds techniques that can expand your battery life by restricted execution, availability, and other ground-breaking topping highlights, however it’s completely great how it functions.

For quite a while, Android telephones immediately quickened charge abilities and remote charges, which had profited by Android. In any case, Apple’s iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and iPhone X receive remote charging and rapid charging, and bolster both current iPhones. It is essential that you need to purchase day by day charger connector independently, while it is generally furnished with an Android telephone in the container.

Unmistakably clear this class, however contrasted with the heaps of Android telephones stacked with the telephones, they have a long length, and they generally have fast chargers that are incorporated into the case. Are there Therefore, win Android.
