oh my god the Yamaha DD-75 mobile electronic drumkit thing (one of those all-in-one units with several pads clustered together), which you can buy brand new right now, has General MIDI, XGLite and actual MIDI in and out ports. amazing. perhaps GM will outlive all of us

half an hour of noodling on the guitar and suddenly it feels like all is right with the world again

they need to legalise pleated skirts

astonished to discover Thomann, the world's largest music retailer, was as recently as 2015 still a sole proprietorship. a registered one (e.K., eingetragener Kaufmann), but a sole proprietorship nonetheless. he had >1k employees and was still personally liable for all debts?!

guitar is really just like piano, except you only have every fifth key, there's far fewer octaves, only one string per note, and you remove the entire hammer mechanism and keyboard, and play the strings directly like it's string piano, but it's inside-out, and transverse, and

okay so six days ago we discovered the USB controller on our PC has seemingly totally failed USB 2, USB 3, front panel, back panel, doesn't matter: it supplies power, but it doesn't recognise anything connected whatsoever. can't connect a mouse, keyboard, or anything else

i'm not badly mentally ill. i'm actually rather good at it now

if you're an anime protagonist and your dad is a cop, you only have two options. you can become Yagami Light, if you're a coward. or, if you truly believe in justice, you can become Araragi Koyomi

We have gotten two consecutive nights with eight hours of sleep, and the local supermarket just started stocking the caffeine-free version of Coke Zero. We are so back.

We need to play Sayonara wo Oshiete someday, the OST is just too good.

oh my god bsky applying a horrendously tuned compressor to the audio continues to be the WORST this clip happens to really exemplify it. i hear the first part and WOW THAT'S LOUD, but when it gets to the dialogue and it's… normal? but it's absolutely destroyed the intended atmosphere 😭

spaghetti alla hikari (it's like aglio e olio but done wrong: the pasta is cooked for its normal cooking time minus one minute; almost all the water is drained, and olive oil, minced garlic and chili flakes are thrown in and fried for one minute; then “pizza cheese” melted in)

who up girls banding they cry

SACRIFICE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW YOU LOVE THE DREAM ENTICES YOU TO GIVE YOURSELF AWAY SACRIFICE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW YOU LOVE YOU MISS THE THINGS YOU HATED LONG AGO 🎵

mormon monogatari and islamic monogatari are cursed because you see in normal monogatari i have to give up on senjougahara, and in turn all the other girls but her have to give up on araragi-senpai, but when koyomi receives the light of allah this all changes and i'm fucked over
