It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

Back in town and immediately had two long tracking days in a row. They were both very productive so I didn’t take any photos, but here’s a clip of to commemorate the first upright bass in the studio

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

My 500 piece puzzle turned out to be a 499 piece puzzle 😕

Last week, we announced a plan to make child care universal. Today, applications are open for pre-K & 3-K. If your child is turning 3 or 4, apply now for the fall at: myschools.nyc

Do you support abolishing ice or are you in the minority?

NC, your chance to influence outcomes starts today. Those that have chosen to run, especially non-incumbents, are putting themselves on the line in a very fraught political environment. There are more jobs than just candidate & social media commenter available. Donations not required to participate.

Current status

About to drive down to Florida and later Alabama to visit family. I’m sure no one will have any bad opinions about ice murdering citizens or anything like that

But we're going to have a beautiful police state and it'll be very brutal. And you'll be free, perhaps more free than ever before

Realized that most of the music I get to work on consists of either wildly experimental genre benders or protest songs and I’m very happy about this.

Wrapped up drum tracking for a client album yesterday. Some of the wildest and heaviest parts I’ve worked on since @jbrockmusic.bsky.social’s album Cataclysmia. But it also has a bunch of chill latin grooves? It’s gonna be a trip!

Don’t forget, this is America. The most important thing in this great nation are the feelings of law enforcement. If they feel scared for any reason, they need to be able, above all other laws, to shoot you without a second thought. It’s really our fault for doing something to make them feel scared!

Here's a good song to listen to today, for no reason in particular drowningleo.bandcamp.com/track/the-go...

Abolish ice.

Testing out my new old Rogers snare on a client session and it appears I now have two favorite snare drums

Had a weekend where I mostly laid around and did nothing and it was great, highly recommend

I somehow convinced my band mates to do an A Perfect Circle cover set, now I somehow have to sound like Maynard and/or Billy Howerdel 🙈

Third extended power outage in less than 24 hours, starting to wonder if duke energy is going for some sort of record. Good thing it isn’t extremely cold and windy outside

He who sets out to "get my ass" should dig two graves (one for each cheek)

been feeling sad lately about having sold off most of my old game collection and this pops up on marketplace 👀

We’re done talking about Christmas. We’re done talking about The Holidays. Pack it up. No further holiday related posts will be liked until holiday time resumes next year.

It's inefficient to get out of bed in the morning only to get back in the same bed at night. Stay in bed all day to avoid this

Did not feel like I got my money’s worth out of my crunchyroll account this season

Broke guy tip: find a bank that does zero interest balance transfers and do it for credit cards with a high balance. After the year of zero interest is up, transfer it somewhere else if you haven’t fully paid it off yet. Repeat as necessary. No reason to throw away money at credit card interest.

Pro tip: try to actually play the stuff you write in Guitar Pro on a real guitar

Do you wanna hear yourself on the radio? Yes? No? Well no doesnt count 😂 So if you say yes why dont you record something and you will find your way with your greetings in the #Countdown!! (Most is allowed only @portobelloexpress.bsky.social isnt allowed to burn me)

Two Sunday tracking sessions in a row! While you’re enjoying the holidays, I’ll be over here mixing

Everyone I talk to who isn't a potential client tells me I should charge more, so I'm gonna do that next year. Last chance to work with me on the cheap!

Me toil part time at ja cold stone creamery

Now that Santa has built a loyal and addicted customer base it's time for him to start charging money for presents

I have successfully beaten Final Fantasy Tic Tacs on tactician mode. Excellent remaster, would recommend this game to anyone who likes to think and feel things

Instant classic www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSbR...

People posting things like “I hope you have an insanely incredible birthday beyond your wildest dreams” and there’s no way I’m gonna live up to that 😂

A reasonably well known local band put out a call for studio recommendations on their socials and my name came up enough times for them to reach out. Whether they choose to work with me or not, it’s nice to be in the conversation 🥰

it's not easy to ask for help but i have been really struggling in the midst of having to relocate away from my abusers. i have set a small goal to help me achieve financial stability and afford therapy during this difficult transition. anything helps. gofund.me/66dfb2e38

He can have the Nobel peace prize if he dies in office, that way everybody wins

Spotify presents: Winged Lizzy & The Gritty Glizzy

I want a "turn off all AI slop" button on all software moving forward. I will sign the executive order on day 1 of my presidential term

Any other developers out there that have never liked using VS Code? Well @zed.dev feels like a nice evolution of Atom and I suspect they may even have a designer or two on the team. Also important to note, it has a button for globally disabling all AI features.

Last month I had two active drum students, this month I have four!

I think @fabfilter.com Saturn is the best plugin ever made. Multi-band saturation / distortion / compression / expansion / EQ / modulation. I mean, come on.

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

My bandmates helping me beta test Mountainsize Drums 🥰

Warms my heart to see people finally getting fed up with spotify, it sucks ass and has always sucked ass, now it’s just way worse

Name a band or singer that everyone seems to love but you can't stand. I'll go not first: The Rolling Stones

Our drummer made us do an escape room for his birthday and honestly aside from the AI minecraft backdrop it was a pretty good time
