My issue with Star Wars discourses, and really any large fandom discourse, is that it kind of becomes like politics: the majority forming themselves into cartoonish factions, drowning out any nuance.

You can’t properly discuss something popular until it has faded

If I don’t print this anywhere, I’ll scream, and this is the most safe space. I am a music teacher in NS public school, the last time I received ANY funding from the government was 2016. I fund raise every cent. I get grants (gone). My kid’s summer job (gone), my kids internship(gone).

KV-1 pe parts and out of production paints have arrived, and I am well pleased. The paint hasn't even solidified in the bottles like I feared.

Like someone said to me about building models, it's natural and ok to lose one's mojo at times, but just try not to give up completely.

I did mess with learning Back To The Middle from Deerhunter, very recently, I meant to bring that up, I did manage to figure out that the song doesn't work without capo at 2nd fret. When my fingers hurt too much I stopped πŸ˜…

Not yet, but it's on my to do list, I want to get any issues with my guitar (Epiphone Les Paul) dealt with at the same time. Mainly focused on merely staying alive these days.

Man.

The world fucking is on fire.

So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.

Live whats left of your only life.

If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.

Fuck the haters.

At some point, yes he did, I think. He played the Pink Pop festival in 78 or 79 with that broken finger, I remember reading that.

TW is just fantastic, true story, I watched Tom Tom Club in the 90s, might have been on Letterman(?), I watched her technique and I noticed she switched all the time from playing notes with her thumb, then to her fingers, alternating. I fiddled around with that myself and worked it into a way

I remember learning side 1 a little bit at a time, and then piecing it together until I could play along with all of it, I really felt like I had accomplished something. But the album does sound like they were trying to prove something to everyone. There are also the issues GL had singing it.

I was kidding actually, but I did used to think they sounded "boinky", like they were just one big dead spot. But I only ever owned long scale basses, I was criticising something I didn't even really know. I think Molly Rankin from Alvvays plays a mustang bass, & it sounds ok.

Yes, they were sounding very confident, after getting thru the slog that Hemispheres supposedly was.

You have to take people VERY seriously that will make themselves bleed in a yearly commemoration of someone who died more than 13 centuries ago.

The less empathy a person has, the more likely they are to inflict pain, suffering, and death upon others.

Learning to differentiate those who have empathy from people who feign empathy – may save your life.

At this point he's just totally aroused by the power trip, like any other rapist.

Jello Biafra is currently hospitalized but stable. Speaking for the Alternative Tentacles family, we are all just very thankful he is okay and getting the care that he needs.

We will update you all as we are able.
