Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
Okay, WOW. It's been a while. A long while. I apologize, and I am coming back. I had so many things to deal with this Spring. I went back to work after basically not working for nearly 2 years was very difficult to say the least. I also went on a two-week vacation for the first time in 2 years. In April, I got sick, again, for the first time in 2 years. It was not COVID; it was just a cold, but I couldn't shake it. It lasted a month, wtf! I know! Frustrating. Sprinkle in other endeavors like my new podcast, and other adult like things--and here we are.
So, I have new content coming and I will lay that out now to you.
1) So first, I started a general video podcast. It's called MARCOVERSE. The logo is linked to this post. I hope you like it ๐ As for the pod, think Joe Rogan style; just me interviewing interesting people from all walks of life including musicians. The videos will live on my comedy YouTube channel. Episode #1 featured my brother whom is a musician; episode 3 featured Eric Owen, the drummer from Black Pistol Fire. The link to the playlist is here โถ๏ธโถ๏ธโถ๏ธ youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk...
Or just search MARCOVERSE on Marco Pitino. I hope to interview many more musicians in the future!
Also, you can watch it on Spotify as well. Yes, WATCH. As in video. Just search MARCOVERSE and it'll come up as well. You can also listen to just audio wherever you get your audio podcasts.
2) I am currently in London, England. Tomorrow night I'm going to see The Killers at Emirates Stadium!!! Should be a banger! I have early entry GA tickets and I'll be lining up all day to get front row. This is not an episode of Barrier Or Bust but I'm still documenting it on my Instagram. Head over there to follow along.
3) Speaking of Barrier Or Bust, I'm filming 3 episodes this summer... SO FAR. I may add more. Those episodes will be Glass Animals in Toronto, Greta Van Fleet in Winnipeg, and The Killers in Toronto. Be the on the lookout for how to enter those contests so you can win a free ticket and line of all day to be on Barrier Or Bust!
4) Coldplay and Arcade Fire FIRST REACTIONS waiting in the wings. I will get those done when I get home from London.
5) I will be going to Bonnaroo!!! So keep an eye out for coverage of me on The Farm!
That is all. Thank you to each... And every... Single last one of my subscribers. Thank you thank you thank you. I promise to have so much more. OH! And July I relaunch my TikTok!!!
Peace everyone. Hope you're all well. Let's enjoy this summer

Hey friends!
Thought I'd give a super quick update, since it's 6 weeks into the new year and I only have 1 video posted.
I guess the long story shortened would be, that, it's basically just the current state of things that has ravaged my scheduling. The current state of the world has directly, and indirectly, affected my schedule constantly. Going on lockdown, coming off lockdown, there's always a shift. Plus, other things like taking care of people in my life which always bogs down on the schedule.
Then a few outside factors, which has made the last year stressful--I'm sure we're all feeling that.
However, I just went away for about 10 days and had a pretty fun and relaxing vacation. I'm home now, tieing up loose ends from said vacation, and I plan on getting back on the saddle once and for all.
Hopefully, the state of the world gets better from here on out... and we never, ever ever, have to hear about that dang friggin' thing ever again. I just want to move on, and carry on with my life, and the channel. I'm sure you all do too.
Thanks for tuning in. Tunes I Dig lives on!
Cheers!

I just hit 1K subs.
I'm stunned. I'm thankful for every single person that enjoys watching my content. This is so foreign. I still tell people I just started a YouTube channel. I still tell people I have a few hundred subs. It just doesn't feel real. Unreal, actually.
I will be having a 1K celebration live stream sometime this week. One of my viewers mentioned I should do a Q & A awhile back. But that was only one person one time haha. I'd take a guess and say there aren't too many people that have questions, but, if you do, I will answer 5 questions, as I also have a table contents of things I want to talk about. Comment below your questions and I'll answer them in the live stream :D
The table of contents for the live stream will be roughly... hmm... I'm going to write this as I go...
โข Me not being ready for the 1K stream lol
โข Big thanks to all my subscribers
โข Special thanks to Anthony Liscio
โข Big hug to the GVF army for embracing me and my content
โข An updated timeline from the start of my music journey as a kid, to where the channel is today
โข What I want from this channel; what TID was (the text blog), is, and where will I take it
โข Content that is coming in 2022, including a new TikTok with ticket giveaways
โข The struggles and details I obsess over daily on how to approach my ever changing content and ideas, and why sometimes that obsession and brainstorming consumes me and my time
โข The struggles of how long each reaction video takes, why I need to pair them down, and including whether or not to include reactions to songs I don't enjoy; I have momentarily decided on only share reactions to tunes I don't enjoy of artists with at least 50K followers on Instagram.
โข Doing my best to have a top 10 album list for the end of the year
โข And finally, I have set out past videos from the vault my to share with the community on my 1K, 10K, 100K, and 1M. This being the 1K, I have some videos to share from the first time I attempted a YouTube channel in 2012. That's correct. I actually had a channel in 2012. It was called Tunes I Dig. It had 4 videos. They were *not* very good. haha. But I will share them, and cringe along, with you.
โข A final good bye, thank you, and reminder I am on Twitter and Instagram
That's it for now. I'll see you guys on a live stream some time this week. I'll post here again when I figure out the time.
Thank you forever and ever, again.

Hey all my 790 subscribers!
Just wanted to tell you I've just now uploaded several videos from 3 concerts I've been to in the last week, in Austin, Toronto, and Montreal.
This is also my first ever Community Post, so, firstly--THANK YOU so very much for your support and interest in my channel! I know my content is so very sparse but it's just been such an intense struggle managing so many things. More on that maybe in a few weeks after I get some new First Reactions up, which, are coming this week! A steady schedule should be implemented this week. Fingers crossed I don't get tossed any curve balls in my schedule.
Secondly, the main point of this post was to inform you that I uploaded some new concert footage, and I've decided whenever I do upload new concert footage, I will do as I've done this time, which is: I will NOT have YouTube notify you--unless--there is some crazy unanimous decision from you guys that you would like to receive notifications for live concert footage.
Otherwise, I think it makes sense to not notify you because I suppose, in a way, personal concert footage taken from a phone is not always the greatest quality per se, even though it's in HD and I wouldn't post it if it wasn't good enough to watch. I also think it's not directly something you'd particularly want to see unless you happened to be at the same show. And I'd be uploading several videos at a time, as I did just now, and receiving a crazy amount of notifications would probably be annoying, especially if you're expecting a review or reaction video.
Thus, I feel it's more efficient and less bothersome if I uploaded concert footage, and make a community post about it.
That's all for now. See you this week and beyond. And again, thanks for watching Tunes I Dig
