My problem trying to connect and network and everything else in a local music scene is that there are lots of very nice people whose music doesn't interest me and/or I don't think is very good. But I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings or reveal myself as a total hater 24/7

Sometimes I wonder . . . .

I meet a lot of people around town who have been playing music for years and they'll say things like "I just have a hard time learning by ear" and "I have a hard time following along to somebody else's tempo"

If they don't say it they certainly demonstrate it But the main thing I'm concerned about is a lot of these folks also seem to be the people that NEVER WEAR EAR PROTECTION. Damn I wonder why you can't hang????

The metaverse is down lol what's up Tumblr

Yeah yeah autism yeah yeah trauma dumping yeah yeah fear of being misunderstood or whatever, But unfortunately I am that kind of person who will stop talking to you if you send me paragraphs upon paragraphs that I don't want to read.

It's really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really hard to be even remotely enthusiastic about the little local band you're trying to make music with when there's a goddamn genocide happening in full view of the entire world and like nobody in the scene seems to be losing their mind about it like I am.

Personally I do not understand why you wouldn't put as much effort as possible into being good at the art you feel called to do. I know that it leans on a preconception of technicality as the ultimate measurement of good art but like DANG some people obviously don't put enough effort into making their art good and then they're surprised when it goes nowhere!

Don't mind me, just silently keeping track of which hospitals I can take a shower in if I were to ever become homeless

The next chapter of Karl Marx should be about how the popular local bands are damn near always folks who work at/own the venue.

Full on TMI here but . . .

I've been having some effin weird sex dreams just before waking up recently. This latest one involved a trans man just patting their underwear and saying "Meld?" And I'm talking about it here to try and uncurse myself a little bit.

If a venue canceled your show because someone claimed that you were drunk performing But you swear you hadn't been drinking, maybe that should be a sign that you . . . kinda suck and should . . . Git Gud

The next time someone tells me "You can't hear the bass because you're listening on a phone speaker"I am going to lose my mind (I was listening through Bluetooth in the car stereo and still couldn't hear it)

I'm glad Taylor Swift is making beautiful boring music for asexuals

Sometimes you're having a better day and then a huge chunk of your teeth rots off

It's 2023, so STOP CHANGING C WORDS TO START WITH K, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE THREE IN A ROW
