why is it that i keep trying to buy car insurance and then winding up on the wikipedia page for primus

In retrospect maybe it was a mistake to allow the breakdown of objective reality

qotd: what car do you want most, but know would be an absolutely miserable experience to own?

recorded in a wisconsin warehouse in the middle of summer, mixed at my house in oakland. thanks to WW for letting me press space bar & thank you @mysteryroommastering.com for putting the transients exactly where i like 'em

"you're mixing a song for a band. there is a stick click inside the last drum fill. nobody mentioned it. do you remove the click, or do you leave the performance as it is?"

The hell you mean I need new tires I just got these in 2017

oh come on

2026 sucks

Dry January also applies to reverb.

counterpoint : most other times of the year are more wonderful, sometimes several orders of magnitude more wonderful

it’s like Anthony Bourdain said: once you’ve been to San Francisco, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Marc Andreessen to death with your bare hands

I feel the same way about music, and I think the battle is lost there – most people, I think, consider that if listening doesn’t give them what they already know they wanted, then they are not interested – for me, I want to learn more, absorb more, understand more. To be stretching

i think basically the point of any artistic endeavour is to make yourself feel such strong emotions that you feel like you're going to throw up

manifesting a brain that works

if you make audio plugins & you add a 'noise' option to make it more 'authentic / analog' & the default setting for this noise option is ANYTHING but 0% / 'off' i will find you and do the Star Trek II ear bugs thing to you

okay, so - turns out it's actually not about a "brick" at all. damn

The Lab is restoring the main auditorium of the San Francisco Labor Temple, built in 1914. Among other things, this is where the 1934 vote to join the longshoremen in a city-wide general strike was held. It will be the largest, longest-running space in the Bay Area dedicated to experimental work.
