Another banger by Asheville NC alt rock band Drowning Leo! The band tracked live at the studio, and then we overdubbed guitars and vocals. The band brought me on as a producer for this song, and we worked together to trim the fat and give the choruses maximum impact.

Took a few weeks but I finished this puzzle that @heather-nicole-l.bsky.social got me because she wants me to suffer

Shoutout to @neverthebridle.bsky.social for giving me a good excuse to mic up the vintage kit for the first time

Damn neither the NC primary house or senate candidates I voted for won and it was not close 😢

Nida Allam represents generational change in North Carolina. This is how real progress spreads across the country. We had @nidaallam.bsky.social on our stream and heard her vision. If you’re in NC-04, make your plan to vote. Polls are open until 7:30PM ET. Can’t wait to see Nida in Congress 🧡

He Did This stickers on every pump, except it’s Trump and this time it’s true

Drummer pro tip for playing in small and/or reverberant rooms: hit the shells hard, but go easy on the cymbals. Ran live sound for a band last night, asked the (loud) drummer to do this and he actually did?! And it sounded great!

Proud to announce that upon completing my latest mastering project I have now worked on both genres: country and western

February of last year I worked on exactly one song for one client. This February has been a liiiiiiiittle different 📈

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Found out why one of my condenser mics stopped working 🙈

Ran sound for a band last night and I wouldn’t describe the location of the beer line in relation to the stage as optimal 😅

This country is under some kind of wizard's curse where every 50 years there's a crisis that reminds everyone why it's bad for a small gang of obscenely rich assholes to control everything, and we go ohhh and then we all immediately forget again

www.gofundme.com/f/Emergency-... This is absolutely devastating. Someone close to me works there. My heart breaks for her since I know she's never going to be the same. I cannot begin to digest this. Please donate. #animalrescue

✨ It’s a yes or no question ✨

Two tracking sessions this week, some mixing and mastering work, and a live sound gig today! Grateful to be staying busy. Also I just got up and I could use a nap

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

When I see a band with two guitarists using the same chord voicings at the same time.

You guys ever tune a bunch of vocals, then get really confused about why something still sounds out of tune, and eventually realize the vocals were tuned a half step sharp? 🙉

liberal walking into the car dealership: i want the second shittiest car you have. i will buy it for literally any price

Every once in a while you gotta wade into the youtube comment section and set someone straight

Elizabeth McCorvey is a talented artist and multi-instrumentalist with a message, and Ain’t Gonna Lay Down is about fighting the good fight. As she arrived at the session she informed me that her drummer was sick and couldn’t make it, so the obviously I had to fill in on drums!

Experimenting with Mid/Side for the first time in a long while. This positioning does a nice job of capturing both the indirect sound of the room and the direct sound of the drums.

Homie could have easily googled this but I guess this is the type of customer service I provide on reverb dot com

A client has me burning CDs for the first time in a couple decades. Had to google it lol

Shoutout to Drowning Leo for hooking up the studio with a coffee station ☕️

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Let's try one more take"

Emails with emojis in the subject go straight to the trash

I'm making my usual #BandcampFriday plea: if you love music, consider spending as much today on music at Bandcamp as you do every month on music streaming subs. One $10 sale can make an artist's day-- and put as much money in their pocket as ~5000 or more streams!

@jbrockmusic.bsky.social as the one other person I know learning japanese, do you know what these little diagrams with circles and triangles represent lmao

Snow days are puzzling

Ending billionaireism isn't just socially and economically necessary to maintain human civilization, it's a humanitarian measure for the billionaires themselves. They're clearly very sick and we can help them

Started working on Cissy Strut with a beginner level drum student today. He's gonna be intermediate level by the time he gets this one under his belt 😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXI5...

I think facebook has finally managed to make marketplace worse than craigslist. It’s honestly impressive

Compared to other candidates, our Q4 fundraising numbers show a campaign powered by people, not special interests. Who would you rather have representing you, a candidate supported by self-funding, special interests and billionaire checkbooks, or one overwhelmingly supported by the people?

Good news y'all. I was thinking this show was later this month, when it is in fact later next month. So I accidentally unlocked the ability to focus, but did so before the last minute 😌

More or less got 5 A Perfect Circle songs down on guitar for the upcoming @thewelcoming.bsky.social cover set. Now I just have to learn the lyrics and sing like Maynard at the same time 😵‍💫

My wife @heather-nicole-l.bsky.social wants everyone to know that she took this lovely photo

On weekends like this, I wish the studio was in the house rather than a few feet away from the house

Current status

I don't know why we're still debating about the logistics of renewable power sources when we could just harness Chuck Schumer's loser energy and keep the grid lit up indefinitely

Due to the coming snowstorm, rounding this up to 7 😅

Back on my bullshit

The cool thing about being a freelancer is the weather and/or various other factors (including “whoops I forgot”) can cause 5 clients to cancel/reschedule in one week. 🤦‍♂️

I am currently on my way to another hearing regarding my federal charges for protesting ICE. When I say our leaders must be willing to put everything on the line, I mean it. And frankly, I see it as the bare minimum in this moment.

Nothing has been more radicalizing than watching ice brutalize and murder innocent citizens on camera and then lie about it. This shit is maddening in every sense of the word.
