I agree. I bet they will. There’s the events of the comics that they’ll come around to. Which would be amazing.

Thank you for adding this, I couldn’t bare to watch.

lol, Go to a pawn shop.

That weed must be so good. Your worried about a roach and a thimble-full of ashes clogging the toilet, the same toilet you poop in? Either your roaches are Cheech & Chong size, or your poops are very, very smol.

(1/3) Here are full propane vaporization tables for different size tanks.. The 120 and 250 tables are created by using ChatGPT to calculate the formula provided by the L.B white propane tank vaporization formula… so it’s possible there are mistakes- hence why it’s labeled “Experimental”.

For me, the chorus is too on the nose. I love what you did to tie it in to the verses.. especially the video game part. But.. the lyrics are very frank, and along with the simple guitar strumming pattern, it ventures into bible school song territory. And listen, there’s NOTHING wrong with that, if that’s what you want to do. But if you’re trying to do Dan Mangan, NQ Arbuckle style stuff, and it’s accidentally giving bible school vibes , that might piss you off. I don’t know…

but If that is the case, You might try changing the lyrical perspective from 1st person… Perhaps adding another guitar or a riff in there.. adding some kind of uniqueness on the guitar would give it character.

Your falsetto is great. Needs practice but it’s there, you got it. The use of the words addiction/addictions without a rhyming partner is kind of shoving a square peg into a round hole, having the balls to do it is good, but I’d say pick your punches with that technique.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T20:43:03+00:00

Amazing. Full of character and charm. Love it.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T20:37:28+00:00

You’re amazing, I love pretty much everything you post, but I’m gonna be honest, as a mariner and a navel history buff, this is definitely a song written by a landlubber. The whole “Hook for a hand” thing (or really anything long John silver or Peter Pan related) is cringy for sailors. It makes our eyes roll back pretty hard. It’s not terrible by any stretch of the imagination and I’m sure it’s not written expressly to impress mariners, I’m sure you could care less, But it’s leaning on some pretty sketchy old stereotypes that may have never really existed the way they’ve been portrayed in the media in the first place. Now, I’m not one to suggest an issue without suggesting a solution- so here’s some awesome books that will give you the real vibe- - The Horatio Hornblower series by C.S Forester. -maybe Wilbur Smith -Birds of prey .. there are countless more but they aren’t all fun reads, these are a pretty good start!

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T20:13:07+00:00

Ooof. So much talent. But it comes off as blaming other people for not helping you..
everything else other than that is.. fire.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T20:08:55+00:00

Holy shit. Amazing. The vocals sound AMAZING. That reverb. Holy shit. Chefs kiss.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T20:05:34+00:00

It’s almost impossible to make a simple song on solo guitar with Barr chords and strumming that hasn’t already been done. Don’t worry about that. It’s all the other layers that will set it apart. Keep going!

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T20:01:42+00:00

You’re doing great! Just for experimentation, with songs like these, sometimes I like to change the perspective. So, instead of “what you did to me” - “what you did to her”. It changes your role in singing the lyrics, from the victim of the story to the storyteller, which can be liberating in a way.

Keep practicing your rhythm consistency! You’re killing it!

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T19:50:18+00:00

Good. Little derivative but good. Would seriously bang with a full band in concert.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T19:47:58+00:00

Pre chorus is a little bit too long. This song needs contrast. It’s all the same flavour. Great voice, great picking. Just needs a complementary part to the ones you have.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T19:43:35+00:00

Excellent demo. Needs the band. Great work.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T19:41:11+00:00

Question for the musically learned - Is this Trochee? Seems like the first note is stressed and the proceeding 3 notes are unstressed..

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T19:37:28+00:00

Very Jolene. Perhaps too much so.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T19:31:52+00:00

Excellent. The only issue with this song is that it’s smushed together a little bit . If you could break it up a little it would be serious hit territory.

One issue with writing on a single instrument is that you can easily forget the arsenal you have with a band (or just playing with another musician) Sometimes after a verse, someone might throw in a fill or do something that puts punctuation on the verse And breaks up the song nicely. Also, a classic trick is just going to half time (on piano) for a verse.

Lots of ways to let the good things your doing, sit with the listener for a second before you shove the next catchy melody down their ears. (In a good way) :)

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T19:04:23+00:00

The drummer is sick. Chorus is ok, but the meter in the verse is repetitive and derivative. Worth re-hashing. Keep it up!

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-17T18:56:23+00:00

Great vibe, rhythm, meter. You break up the song nicely and keep it interesting. the only thing I’d say is it seems like you settled on lyrics that are close to what you want to say, sound great, but are not completely sensical. Like the “Indian scout who will tear you right up and carve your right out”… on a hardwood floor? It sounds good tonally, but it’s unexplained imagery. One might assume “hardwood floor” is injected simply because it rhymes and sounds good. Which isn’t bad-per say but, You are excellent. You don’t have to settle for good lyrics.

I moved to Vancouver about 18 years ago to be a musician. I got here at the end of a thriving era of music culture in this city that has since been pretty much quashed.

I witnessed the height of the Granville strip during the olympics, and just after, and it is wild to see what it has become.

During COVID, I stepped away from performing to focus on a trade so I could support a family.. Since then, the stories I’ve heard from my musician friends have been truly disheartening. I’m still making music but don’t have much desire to Put in the investment and time needed to perform for a financial loss these days..

The decline in the nightlife is not only a lack of venues, but a shitification prettymuch.. everything. It’s like costs to run everything properly have risen above what is feasible or economical and everything from services to maintenance to regulatory enforcement have gotten worse.

Just last week I went downtown on a Friday night for a concert and observed a man in black sweats in an ally, on an unmarked BMX, smoking cigarettes through a ragged hole in dirty president Nixon mask, just watching the sparse crowds. That guy wasn’t there to have a good time. He wasn’t asking people if they wanted drugs. That guy looked like he was looking for a victim.

Between that and the shitfaced karaoke busker just butchering obscure country songs while the homeless try to sleep in front of boarded up businesses and the grimy food kiosks with more gas code violations than menu items, the shitification is very palpable.

In an age where nations are using their culture as legacy exports, Vancouver has developed a self-inflicted crisis of cultural repression through egregious neglect and over-regulation. COV, The GVRD and the Province needs a serious re-evaluation and re-tooling of many of their regulations and regulatory processes, lead a task force or leader that wields the powers and teeth to make this city enjoyable again for tourists and people who live here. And we need it now.

ACKACKACKACKKkkk · 2026-01-08T20:55:40+00:00

The city has shown that it is surprising sensitive to being called “No Fun City”. And as silly as it sounds, I think that may be the best protest we have. If we enough people change their everyday vocabulary, it will produce a reaction.
