I don't really have any friends that know anything about music stuff, I mostly mean the making music and not the listening music. So I end up spending a lot of time at the instrument store talking to a handful of the workers about all my music nerd stuff when I go there. Depressing? Yeah.

Sinful take: I like the Tomodachi formula more than the Animal Crossing formula.

One of the many sucky things about these 13-day-straight work weeks is me waking up on a Sat/Sun seeing my guitar on its stand as I leave knowing I could be playing that instead of working.

Saw an article asking whether Fender or Gibson headstocks are better and the spice is Gibson headstocks are terrible. Ugly, and poor function. Break easily, bad string angles at the nut. There’s a reason most headstocks mimic Fender.

I think one major draw for me to (analogue) synthesizers, guitars, traditional amps, etc, is they’re unbound by toxic tech culture. Modellers are cool but you’re gonna get trapped in ecosystems.

Hey FA users. Can you stop tagging maw shots as vore? I have vore blacklisted but I still like maw shots. Thank you.

Went to Korean BBQ for birthday dinner and saw one of my favorite things in the world: inexplicable signage

INFERNO. 18 TRACKS. 70 MINUTES. 2xLP, CD, DIGITAL. 29 MAY 2026. boardsofcanada.com

Well I weighed myself for the first time in a long time yesterday. I have lost about 10lb since I started vyvanse. So I’m back on getting my calories up with mass gainer shakes. Wee.

Reading guitar/bass tabs of songs reminds me constantly that I do not in fact need to make hyper complicated music in order to make good music but I cant help but feel anything simple is not enough. I really need to have music friends who I can work with / bounce off of to get me in a groove.

I keep getting ads for the new astrology feature of Tinder. First, I don’t use dating apps. Why am I getting these. I love my boy. Second, they spent a lot of money on an ad campaign for a feature not a lot of people will care about.

I did that meme.

In my journey of cutting caffeine, I swapped my coffee pods I bring to work to decaf and I drink just as much coffee. Bitches never believe when someone says they just like coffee, and it’s not just the caffeine.

Okay so apparently the J Mascis JM has P-90 pickups and not JM pickups. I mean… means I don’t need to get a P-90 guitar anymore.

I’ve been wondering if my chronic leg pain is RLS so I’ve been following all of the recommendations to aid in it and it does help a bit. Sadly that means I need to heavily cut down caffeine and all of the drinks I like to drink and relax with have caffeine.

Pedals have been converted into a Jazzmaster.

love that our culture promotes individualism but not individuality. do everything yourself, but do it in the same way as everyone else

I know it’s ‘Theta Delta’ but ‘Delta Theta’ sounds better in my head. That is all.

Why yes I did find 15 blank cassettes, sealed, at a thrift store for $15. It’s a bounty to find any if I do.

Conservatives take note: The team in the Artemis are already seen as heroes while no matter how much money you have you will still be scum that wants nothing more than to strip away humanity from everything an everyone. The villain.

AKAI Sample is out, and I've been looking at reviews and god damn it's disappointing. There's no reason they couldn't have made something with the functionality of the 1000 in a smaller package. It's like my options for samplers are: A DAW, or a sample box that's too stripped down for real music

Hyperpop music videos really do just be queer people in funny costumes dancing outside.

[eurorack enthusiast] *plays a chord on piano* "I bet there's a way more expensive way to do this"

Look, workplace. If you’re going to make me work an extra shift on a Sunday despite my having already finished my work on Friday you’re going to learn just how well I can do nothing for an extended period of time. I should be home with a latte.

Some of the longest running animated shows of all time are adult comedies and yet there’s still this notion that cartoons are only for kids. I can’t understand.

Learning guitar right handed, as a left handed person, can often be frustrating as it almost feels like your hands are foreign and you can’t fully control them sometimes. A struggle I chose to have and to overcome.

I started watching Red Dwarf with my boy… I haven’t seen it in about 10 years so it’s almost fresh for me, and he seemed to enjoy it so I’m glad I can share something of my interest with him!

Wow, hitting the “not interested in this” button for every political doom post and blocking a bunch of new tags has really cleaned up my TL and made it a lot more enjoyable to peruse the daily content feed.

yeah that’s right i keep my silica packets for my long term storage of my tube mic.

I upgraded my amp to a big girl amp… I did need to put an attenuator inside it cuz shit is so gosh darn loud. Old is a Vox Pathfinder 10 and new is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe G1.

Usually when I get a new Wall Wart with a thing I get, I immediately print out a label for it. But sometimes I forget and get annoyed later. Worst part is most of them are interchangeable, for similar things (synths) but manufacturers refuse to use the same model for their stuff.

Due to my hyperfixations I require all musicians I follow to post more gear porn photos please and thank you.

I have made my first pedal board. Top half is guitar and bottom half is bass. The phaser I’d like to move to my desk where I have my Strymon pedals that I use as send effects in Ableton (this is one of the best phaser effects I’ve used fr.) Also thinking about a post-fuzz drive.

Frank Discussions of My Sexuality as a Transgender Woman

Co worker wanted to go to the music store with me to pick up some violin strings (for her) knowing I like to go there and peruse. They happen to be having a big sale on Friday so this will be bad for me but maybe fun.

My man doesn’t think faerie lights are good vibe lighting, this is so sad Kylie.

My coworker commented on my sprinkle doughnut calling it a kid doughnut and I’m just like: See the joy of being an adult is I’m allowed to choose to enjoy kid stuff still.

Remember that it’s not that you can’t, but that you don’t try. I am left handed learning right handed guitars which puts me at a disadvantage but I still strum that bitch almost every day and I suck after almost 2 years. But I do notice small incremental improvements.

So what you're telling me is that everything currently bad in the world can be traced back to Epstein somehow.

It’s been a while since I last listened to In Flames and it still gets that blood pumping fr.

Oscar's interview 🎙️🖼️

You, yes you. You could and should increase your nipple count.

Lord of The Rings. Adventures of TinTin. Pirates of The Carribean. Movies with insanely good film making techniques, or CG animation. We have the technology to make this stuff but... we don't. TinTin in particular has to be my favourite example of a CG movie.

I don’t understand electric guitar culture. A 200+ year old violin will go in for repairs and get entirely refit with varnish touchups, new bracing, new fingerboards… but if someone dares restore a 1962 Gibson they’re ruining it? It makes no sense.

I was so tempted to call sick at work so I could practice guitar lol.

This weekend I spent 3 hours restringing, cleaning, and setting up my guitar (Charvel 6 string) It would have been an hour or so if it didn’t have a floating bridge :)

I noticed a tiny chip-out of the varnish on my guitar neck fretboard. It was enough to notice when I turned the neck and the light would be matte on the raw wood and shiny on the varnish itself. As an experiment I went out and got some supplies; rub-on satin varnish, some sanding supplies, etc.

Went about sanding the gloss down to satin on my Bass VI. Sorry Squire/Fender but gloss finish isn’t for guitar necks.

Went to a thrift store on the way home just cuz it was on the way to a hardware store I was going to. Found a Super8 (8mm film) camera. I need to get a battery holder to actually test it but even as a novelty this is super cool. I’d love it I could actually get some beautiful 70s crunge photos.
