Early Dove "Modesty could easily be an unintended put down" is an excellent perspective shift. I'm not good at taking compliments either, and I'm definitely going to try to keep this in mind.

Crooked Platypus I had to bite my tongue and just say, "Thanks" when someone actually effused praise on my guitar sound on a track, telling my how great it was to hear a proper Strat through a real Fender Twin, well mic'd up in a decent room in this day and age... it was an old Squier, with pickups replaced, straig

If you are still living in any degree of pandemic isolation (define that for yourself as you wish), I'm curious about what's helping you cope (that doesn't involve breaking isolation / being around other people).

Hungry Mule Been watching movie reactions on YouTube, which in the past I disregarded, but have found them to be fun to watch my favorite movies being seen for the first time. I've had to search around for good people, 'cause some have been terribly disappointing, but otherwise it's all I have to replace the v

I recently got a (tiny) Compact Flash card that I could use on my Christmas present from 2005, a Fostex MR-8 multitracker--so I decided to try a DAWless interpretation of an older song of mine. It was kinda refreshing to not fuckin' sequence everything and just play the damn notes.

If you don't understand why somebody is grieving for so long over something, consider yourself fortunate that you do not understand.

Are there still people who have trouble with sci-fi concepts like being extradimensionally beyond spacetime? Because I simultaneously believe that 1995, 2004, and 2018 were all ten years ago

Crooked Platypus yes although I would pick hanging out with someone who uses Comic Sans any day. They strike me as being a bit internet clueless, and that's not a bad thing always
