There are these birds by my window that start chirping around 2:30 in the morning and stop around 7:00 in the morning.

It’s most likely a northern mockingbird (if you are in north america). they tend to sing at night during the spring to find a partner. they can be really annoying lol

i had one of those a few years ago. we also had one that did that on a tree in the backyard when I was a kid and my dad would go out and shake the tree or poke it with a broom to be able to sleep.

Live your life like its 1994.

I want to see high fashion take on work uniforms and clothes, like a chef outfit and train conductor or just the blue collar carhartt and flannel outfit.

I’ve taken my daughters to see a stage production of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for the young’uns and there’s a character who occasionally addresses all the kids in the audience. Whenever he does this, the Mii Plaza music plays.

As I type this there’s a drone-controlled inflatable dolphin floating above my head.

I called my Sweetwater rep to ask about a guitar pedal shipment and it turns out he makes chiptune music and it turned into a conversation about Takenobu Mitsuyoshi.

Update: I have bought the pedal.

Seeing this at the bottom of a thread means you’re in for a good time, but not right away.

what pedal

[HyggeState]

I’m still in the process of buying bread-and-butter bits-and-bobs for all of my instruments. I’ve been in the market for a fuzz. My heart was set on a Big Muff, but the sale was so steep on this one (also by Electro-Harmonix) that I bought it. $35 new, down from $70.

I’m not so precious about tone. I have general ideas for my music, like wanting fuzz in this case, but I am of the opinion that, “It sounds how it sounds.” and I am happy with however my equipment sounds.

Sweetwater reps are so funny as a concept

[MoH]

oh nice, $35 is like behringer levels lol. as a former “gear head” in recovery, i still like the idea of nice pedals and the like, however i was really surprised to find how far line-in/DI recording has come since i was last playing music a decade ago.

if you want to experiment with tone at all, i highly recommend getting an amp simulator. there’s paid ones like amplitude (what i use), but there’s also a great open-source one called NAM (neural amp modeler) where you can basically recreate big muff tones and such to your hearts content. it’s really cool and kinda humbled me when i saw how good digital tones are lol.

like this is a little thing with essentially a jcm800 and soldano 100 and some reverb etc. i think the compression of clipping it fucked up the drums but you get the idea hopefully!

This rips, bless.

I have an earthquaker rainbow machine I once found at a fleamarket at one of those return surplus trash stands. It was only $15~ish. I plugged it in and didn’t work. Opened it up and discovered a loose wire I just had to connect back in.

I just wanted to brag about that.

Insane find

By the way if you haven’t seen how much the hatsune miku pedals are going for these days…don’t look it up

[Gaagaagiins]

Making your guitar sound like crap: expensive and not worth it
Making your guitar sound like Miku Miku ~~[BEAM]~~: priceless

[HyggeState]

Incredible get.

[Video_Game_King]

I associate Evanescence’s “Going Under” with this video of Hatsune Miku menacing her fellow Vocaloids with a leek. This has been the case since the early 2010s and I have no intention of changing this.

It’s 2008.
I’m on gamefaqs dot com, reading two people arguing. One says Nintendo doesn’t need the better graphics that Sony has, the other counters that Nintendo makes games for kids and they prefer the more mature games on PlayStation.

Happy Blaze It and Praise It Day to all who celebrate, either one or the other, or both. Easter Sunday last coincided with 4/20 in 2014, and they will not coincide again until the year 2087.
