I've been soaking up as much knowledge & as many secrets as I can find about how Bob Rock makes records. I've learned so much, but maybe the best part has been just going through his discography & discovering how every artist he records, whether they are big or small, sounds sonically incredible.

I had been using amp sim+cab sim for some time, but I just wasn't super happy with the tone, especially for recording. So recently I've been using just the cab sim into a preamp, and crunching it up with my pedals. Currently, I'm using the Golden Plexi II as my drive, then using a cleanish boost

I ordered a custom 12 foot bench press bar. It's 70lbs, and it has a 6 month turnaround time for delivery. It's gonna be a long weight.

Back together! I'm also trying some new strings: a set of Pyramids. I had been using lighter gauge strings at the insistence of the guitar internet, but I wanted to go back to my preferred hybrid gauge setup. Thomann didn't have the Slinkies I wanted, but the .052 - .010 set is just what I wanted.

My guitar's wiring was about 15-20 years old, & some of the solder joints had cracked or disconnected. I was also ready for a new look, so this weekend I gave her a fresh coat of signal yellow & some new electronics. ☺️ This machine is (almost) ready to kill fascists again!

I can't believe I just live & walk around & do everyday things in a place where I barely speak the language . I can't believe I'm an immigrant. I never imagined it. It's super hard, but I'm proud of myself.

I got an official medical record of my transition care from my PCP sent to my rheumatologist, who was treating me for Psoriatic Arthritis, so that they could both be on the same page. At my next visit, the rheumatologist lit into me, claiming it was "traumatic" for him to find out like that.

Ironheart has terrible reviews because white people can't access the dialogue easily, it confronts them directly, & generally has nothing to do with them. Racism, basically. It's a really fun show. Tonally, it's a bit of Ms. Marvel & Falcon+Winter Soldier. Visually, more like Daredevil. It's good.

I'm not sure how, but people seem to be finding my music. Listens, streams, & sales are all up. Thank you for your interest & support. I really appreciate it! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Immigrating to a new country has been difficult for me, but I am working so hard on new music that I hope to have ready for release soon.

There's that moment in the rehearsal for the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert where Tony Iommi puts his arm around James Hetfield & says something in his ear. James looks at the camera with a small grin, but his eyes are filled with wonder, appreciation, satisfaction, joy, even tears, almost. Magic.

I wouldn't say these things hurt MORE than my illness, but they are additional pains that aren't addressed at all by drugs or biologics, or treatable by surgery, & they don't come with the hope of "feeling better." Only 1 thing makes you feel less insane about it; knowing that others feel them, too.

Rick Beato is not above criticism, but gosh...when I watch these LONG, detailed talks with Michael Beinhorn, Brendan O'Brien, Butch Vig, Daniel Lanois, & of course the numerous artists, it is just so clear to me that music is where I belong & what I belong doing. Especially recording & production.

In my experiences with German phlebotomists so far, it is apparent that they live by their own code. They will burn, sting, stick, bruise, & pinch you, but they WILL have your blood.

I wrote about this in another thread, but home displacement is hard. I'm coming to understand myself in the complex intersections of immigrant & exile - I want to be here, but I'd also be less safe if I couldn't be here. There is real political persecution in the US for me, personally, & I fled it.

Specifically, the exploration & redefinition of masculinity & embrace of queerness in the album resonates so harmoniously as a trans woman - constantly living in the tension of both masculine & feminine experience, & subject to the worst, most dismissive & fetishistic inclinations of society.

's "Joy as an Act of Resistance" album yesterday, & I'm hooked. It's not even music I would have looked for without Noah's brilliant essay, but JAAAOR makes me want to pick up my guitar & pen. Can't wait to listen to more Idles.

Laura & I turned on a PvP Balatro match between the 2 biggest Balatro streamers, & it turned out it was a charity match. Both streamers, AND the commentator had chosen trans charities to play for 🤯 Amongst all the shitty news of our times, Big Balatro comes through w/not being terrible!

To clarify, when I say that we fled political persecution, I mean that, despite our many privileges, we are still a mixed citizenship household, gay-married trans women, & I am chronically ill & disabled. All of these statuses are active targets of the fascist US government.

Example: We are trying to get our US marriage legally registered in Germany, in case it is annulled in the US. One would think our current marriage license enough, but they want me to submit my original dead name marriage certificate, because my divorce papers are dead name, + name change docs.

I know a lot of US Americans want to escape to other countries, especially trans people. In some ways, I think it's a bit romanticized. I still think you should absolutely do it if you can, but in my current experience, it is so much more difficult than I ever imagined. Temper your expectations.

Hot take but I think that any incurable disease, even if not life-threatening or fatal, should come with death-with-dignity options. Quality of life matters, & people with chronic pain or debilitating mental illness are suffering. But care decisions are nearly exclusively made by people who are not.

There's nothing WRONG with the two-hand, sweep picking, tippity tappity YouTube guitar players, but like...I've never watched one & wanted to pick up my guitar, or break something, or fuck someone, or start a revolution. It just feels like if rock n' roll gave out the green Master's jacket.

Losing reliable access to creative time & space has proved a fertile constraint. I have written a lot of lyrics, paired them with a lot of musical & visual ideas (to be realized), & fortified the subject matter & tone of my second album. Despite the delays of immigrating, I will have new music soon.

No one is mad at you for not knowing things. We all know poor education, lack of access, disconnection from culture & history, & indoctrination makes fools of everyone. It is your willful intent to do harm with your misinformation & ignorance that makes you an evil enemy of peace & personal liberty.

Every country wants its immigrants & refugees to be contributing members of society immediately upon entering, but how many provide the path to become such? Germany doesn't. It's so difficult to learn a language under pressure of deportation & a bureaucracy far behind the pace of its own timeline.

I think I am just realizing how to articulate a key component of creativity that I have previously only felt: to be at my creative best, I need privacy. Once I reach a certain level of pre-production or preparedness in my ideas, I need to be able to go away, be undisturbed, & have unjuried freedom.
