Tonight's the night! Last chance to sing at The Oak in beacon hill with ggnzla KARAOKE. It's been a really fun 2-month residency tho. Thanks so much to Nichelle and Jeff the owner and all the staff there for having us

There are sometimes tracks in our book/app that we don't actually have in the hard drive. Sorry to anyone who's been disappointed to find out that the song they'd like to sing isn't actually available. Maybe it's a corrupted file, maybe it's mislabeled, maybe there is an audio instrumental but no graphic file.

Whenever this happens, I try to put the unfindable song's slip into my pocket and tell myself I'll find it or fix it later. I have a growing pile of these and I'm gonna try to address them more often in coming weeks.

Today I'm working on Billy Joel's 80's hit from Oliver & company (missing the video file) and an Eddie Money song (video starts with the correct titles but the song and phrasing are debarge's rhythm of the night 🤣)

Going to make some cats / rent / spring awakening tracks soon that are in the app but not in the HD that people have been trying to sing lately ; )

Some thoughts/info on tipping at karaoke.
Got stoned and made infographics using artwork from a movie sdtk record we listened to today at a friend's housea.lopez.370
Movie: Hana no Ouenda

Hi all. i wanted to share some thoughts about tipping today:
"Karaoke is free, but tipping is customary and greatly appreciated. THANKS!" - This is the wording on our karaoke slips

I would like to clearly state that tipping me well WILL NOT get you up to sing sooner. some services do work this way, but very early in my hosting career i figured out that fishing for tips and rewarding big tippers doesn't feel good to me and ordering the queue is complicated enough without having extra factors.

i may go home with less money in some situations, but i like to think that overall my nights will do better if people know that the queue will be fair and some entitled prick with tech money will never get to cut in line

Karaoke is free, but i expect everyone to enthusiastically* support and respect the singers that are ahead of you in the queue
*or patiently at least

Lastly, i may not hyper my focus on who tips and how much, but i do notice most of the time and i promise that i absolutely appreciate everything
