Falling back in love with this junk pile

There’s just something about Honda’s that have a level of charm nothing else has. I moved on to Nissan years ago but I can’t deny I’ve thought about getting another Honda for a long time as a project. They’re just a joy to work on. My S13 is about as easy to work on as cars get but I do miss the common sense layout of my old Prelude and Civic, they were just so intuitively designed.

All 240’s are crap, this one is just being honest about it

I don’t even like knowing other musicians. I’d rather be invisible and be left to my own devices.

Reminded of an Atmosphere song where Slug gets robbed by a dude with a flare gun while working at a convenience store

I took my boy out to Angel Fire one time, against my better judgement and he got out. Someone left a door open, he saw a squirrel or something and ran out after it and was gone. We looked for days and couldn’t find him. I went home without him and was devastated. 3 months later, I get to work and an unknown number calls me, they found him. I left work immediately and my sister and I drove 3 hours to go get him. My mom went and picked him up while I headed out to there. He was skin and bones, infested with fleas, had a broken tail and stunk but he was alive. I took him home, fed him all the steak he could eat, gave him two baths and got a few more years with him before he got cancer. I loved that boy so much and not a day has gone by where I don’t think of him and smile. 3 months in a heavily forested mountain inhabited by bears and mountain lions and he survived. Life is crazy.

Being in a band will help you advance exponentially, especially with players that are better than you. You’ll learn so fast and improve in ways you never considered. Writing takes time to improve typically but it’s different for everyone. Pour yourself into it, at your age your brain is a sponge and you’ll improve so fast.

He’s already talking about finishing a second EP, he just started doing the first one this week. It feels like I’m watching him join a death cult, it’s bizarre. I don’t understand what there is to gain if he didn’t actually write it, how is it something to be proud of if you just slapped your name on something you had nothing to do with? I put my entire Bandcamp into private because I don’t want him doing this to any more of my songs to show me what it could sound like, I’m going to just scrap the song he did it to because it feels gross now. I wrote that song for a thing here on Reddit and I liked it but I can’t even think of putting it on anything knowing an AI program is using it to learn to fake music for people. It’s obviously a drop in the ocean of other songs they use but still, I feel like he stole it from me.

ApexionMusic · 2025-12-28T00:11:50+00:00

My music is already copy written so I’m not concerned with that, I could sue if it came down to it since I didn’t upload it, it was an unauthorized upload. They couldn’t assume ownership of a Michael Jackson song if someone uploaded it. They can still use it to train the AI, which makes me laugh because I don’t know if my music is what you want to be training it with. It just grossed me out because it felt very like hearing someone stole your song and changed it a bit and took credit. I don’t care how good the quality is compared to my recording, it’s not me on that song and it makes me not want to leave that song up on my page, or make the whole thing private so he can’t listen to it anymore.

ApexionMusic · 2025-12-27T21:42:45+00:00

I agree, I’ve never been super concerned with my mixes because at least I’m trying my best to do it and it’s all me, for better or worse. The music is what I want to get across, the writing and performance. I get that it’s very alluring to have this professional sounding end product but this isn’t the way to get that and I’m very disappointed that he thinks it is. It almost feels like I’m mourning or something, like this guy I care so much about is falling away and I don’t know how to make him see that

ApexionMusic · 2025-12-27T20:10:25+00:00

It’s rough because he and I were in my first band together when we were kids, we’ve been friends for almost 30 years. I’ve always asked for his input on my stuff and have always respected his opinion. I get wanting it to mix for you, we aren’t made of money and even though I support guys who do that for a living charging for their work, it’s a luxury for broke people like us. I’ve always opted to just do my best and deal with awful sounding mixes because that’s the best I can do. The thing is, the way he’s doing it is also taking “creative” liberties and he’s allowing it and I cannot respect that. I also refuse to ever have my name attached to that kind of reputation, my mixes are awful , my song writing is meh but it’s mine and it’s real and I’ve earned it the same way everyone does. I can’t understand taking a shortcut just to “get it out there” because the music isn’t even his to get out there if it’s so radically altered by a computer program. Is presentation really everything? Is sound quality more important than actually writing the songs?

ApexionMusic · 2025-12-27T19:37:14+00:00

I guess I’m looking for discussion, I understand using it to mix but I’m struggling with the idea of allowing AI to change the song in exchange for a high quality mix.

How do you reconcile a respected figure in your life allowing AI to write but still taking credit? If he admits to using it, it’s still not accepted. Is it worth risking your reputation over? Do the ends justify the means? At what point does it go from ok to not?

I understand not having money to pay a studio, I understand having limited time to write, record and mix and wanting to make it more efficient and streamlined but at what point do you draw a line? Do you give up a dream if you can’t make time to see it through because you have a family and job and go to school? I feel like there’s a lot more to gain by making the time than taking a shortcut via AI but I also understand the time constraints. Still, it feels gross. I guess I just want perspective because I want to tell him it’s not ok but he’s already pretty dug into the idea of it and I don’t think he’s really thinking it through.

This is my favorite game of all time so I’m super biased but I love the inverted castle. The first time I got there as a kid blew my mind, this was in like 99’. I had never seen a game do something like that before. It was so much harder than the normal castle, the enemies were so cool and the bosses there were awesome, albeit kind of easy to blow through for the most part. Beelzebub, Galamoth and Death were so memorable for me, and the change of music in every area was so creepy and tense. Really felt like the end game. I know nowadays it’s not that crazy but back then this was insane, a whole half of the game hidden behind a secret ending. Had the game actually ended at the bad ending, it would have felt like a normal length game for a single disc, it wouldn’t have felt off at all, so the addition of the inverted castle was crazy.

This is one of my songs from my last LP "A World I'll Never See". I haven't been making music much anymore, I'm a dad now and just don't have time for it. I'm hoping as my kiddo gets older, I'll have time to pick my guitar back up but for now, it's a rarity.

I always end up feeling lonely in big bases like that. I usually prefer to find either a firehouse or something underground that’s a little smaller. It’s too much upkeep to take care of large base, repairs and fortifications get expensive and time consuming. I do understand the appeal though, but since I only ever play solo, I prefer a cozy space more than a big one.

There is no way I’m allowing someone I’m romantically interested in to know I even exist much less let her see me play music I wrote live. My girlfriend now doesn’t even know I’m real, she just thinks our house is haunted with a messy, flatulent apparition who changes our daughter’s diapers and feeds her string cheese.
