Apparently, I'm standing for lunch...

Late Guitar Nerdery moment:
Boss MO-2 + JHS Harmonic Tremolo gives a right fair approximation of the sound of Black Hole Sun (add a Rat for the chorus). (For those of us without room or budget for a Leslie....)
Good night!!

Okay, so after a deep breath or two, it feels like part of the hair on fire reaction to the debate is due to the ridiculous amount of screaming buildup. If for two weeks prior we can't escape the hype over the thing, an overreaction is inevitable. Now, mighty efforts will have to be applied to shift the focus back where it should be.

For your morning coffee -
into the fray, 'nauts!

Tiny fragment of rant to come: Spotify expects creators to monitor playlists and report suspicious activity. That should not be the artists' job any more than it was Elvis' job to investigate payola.

Relevant observation:

Caring for the community has benefits? Who could have imagined?

As I go scrolling through here, esp after a little time on another platform, I have the barely controllable urge to just click "favorite" on everything.

Carry on, 'nauts. You're the best.

Good morning CoSo!
Yesterday started with a refused claim from Health Insurance (over a typo); lost 3 adult students to health problems; Spotify took down everything that ISN'T making money over "suspicious playlists" (full rant later, but, bollocks); and, finally, the company shorted my holiday pay.
Today will be better (but ears will burn....). Enjoy the coffee, and into the fray!
