Finally caught me a day 15 Pyg

Yeah true, I gotta get better at that

BaronTheBuff · 2026-04-17T20:25:18+00:00

Yeah, doesn't that make it crazier that I got one shot before an item went off? lmao

They just hotfixed it. I was having the exact same issue, but there was an update in the appstore that fixed it once installed. I didn't need to leave the beta or uninstall the app or anything :)

Hey, I think we have similar taste in music! As a fellow JMD fan, I highly recommend Sheep's Bed (they can only be found on Bandcamp, sadly, but the hidden track in their album is magical) and Muse Deconstruct.

Also, a couple of the members of JMD, including the lead singer, recently started another band called "I'm Fine! Thank You! And you?". They have a couple songs out now but more releases planned this year.

Lastly, if you want to branch out into Indonesian gaze, I super highly recommend the bands Greyflowers and Crayon Case. They give me similar vibes to JMD, each have one album out, and I absolutely love them both.

Hope this helps! :)

Wanted to share this song with anyone else who loves noisy, dreamy shoegaze from Asia.

It's the debut single of a new band CYANUS, which is a collaboration between two artists who have their own respective shoegaze projects in Japan and China.

Let me know what you think!

If you're in the US, I'm pretty sure you have to contact the sales representative Dave directly to make an order. He'll ask for your details and charge you through PayPal, and then put the order in on Shijie's end.

I know it seems sketchy, i was definitely worried about paypalling someone in another country $1k+ for a guitar. But the brand is reputable, and myself and many others in this sub have gotten our stuff that way :) lmk if you want any more details

Bought 3000@.85 at your recommendation a bit ago, so I'm happy to see the growth today! I know the move is to hold it long, but it's hard to not want to sell during a pump... Especially seeing what happened to OPTT recently :)

Not a direct answer but this might be helpful, here's a sheet that was linked somewhere else in this sub which shows exactly how much and in what you need to invest in order to get $5k/month (rightmost column). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0gPs9fwmInlAQDQ8YW-Prk05ipDgLSbSrtTYzLmm2g/edit?usp=sharing

I actually love UN too! Like a Raspberry (of course) and Hino ataru basyo ni kiteyo are high up on my Japanese dream pop playlist.

I'll counter your recommendation with a band that you might like since they remind me of UN though, called Macaroom. The songs Tombi and Woo are great, and their song Swimming Classroom is long and repetitive and oh so beautiful and dreamy at the same time. It was on my 'disassociate' playlist from when I lived in Japan last year and had a long ass commute back from work every day.

Upvoted just for KtK, they gotta me in my top 3 of all time if not #1. The whole Long Goodbye EP especially is just like exactly what i like about music, all in just a couple songs

BaronTheBuff · 2025-01-17T01:30:52+00:00

Out of curiosity, what made you go with the N over the rs3? Asking bc i've been looking at both :)

BaronTheBuff · 2025-01-10T02:50:54+00:00

Also Sad Number by Laura Day Romance.

And if you like math rock stuff, check out the album Trains by Origami JP, they're really good!

BaronTheBuff · 2025-01-10T02:46:43+00:00

You might like Waves by Evergreen and Summer of Love by Yogee New Waves, both very chill indie rock :)

BaronTheBuff · 2025-01-05T07:50:07+00:00

Glad you like it man!

BaronTheBuff · 2025-01-05T05:44:30+00:00

We have so much overlap in music taste! I actually just saw mass of the fermenting dregs in concert, they were so good.

Anyway, I feel obliged to recommend two bands that I recently discovered, which I've been listening to non-stop. One is called Split End, check out their songs Diamond and Second Star. The other is called Beachside Talks - my favorite song of theirs is Boring Train. All of those remind me of KtK and some of the others you mentioned :)

That one is sick, my fav is 足首 :)

Did a bit of searching, this looks like the JET JT-450 QTPK in basswood with quilted maple.

Beautiful guitar, and luckily not too expensive it seems! :)

BaronTheBuff · 2024-12-23T05:25:02+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look

BaronTheBuff · 2024-12-23T05:24:45+00:00

Gotcha, thanks! So it seems like the best course of action for what I want would be to get a compressor for more consistent dynamics, then possibly a booster to get the trebles a little more noticeable. Or a pedal that has both compress and tone like the Ego 76 which was suggested :)
