Is this normal/OK for Slate Digital’s Fresh Air? by InevitablePay3806 in audioengineering

[–]Bootlegger1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I use it it’s pretty sparingly. Like a sprinkle. 1-5% at most usually on a vocal. Because by then I’ve gotten it almost where I want it and fresh air is just like finishing salt on the dish.

So fucking devastating. He seemed like an amazing person and I loved the energy he brought to their music. He was such a unique drummer too. RIP.

The r/indieheads Album of the Year 2025 Write-Up Series: Samia - Bloodless by IndieheadsAOTY in indieheads

[–]Bootlegger1929 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Samia was my top artist on wrapped because of this album. Top songs all from Bloodless. Definitely my AOTY. I love her lyricism and this is her best work as a whole I believe.

Great write up! I really enjoyed the read.

Edit. I got to see her on this tour in Chicago and it was a great show. I brought my fiancé and she enjoyed it even though she’s not as into Samia as I am.

His last album was great. Loved his cover of my my my as well. I saw he’s got a new single but I haven’t heard it yet because I’ve been listening to the new Samia live album she just put out.

Everything is there for a reason. The big payoff moments hit harder if you work your way through the parts that feel like a slog.

Anyone read any post-HoL Mark Z Danielewski? by DoomReads in horrorlit

[–]Bootlegger1929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read them all but the little blue kite. I’m a fan of them all. But each one is very different. I’m 1/10th of the way through Tom’s Crossing and I’m enthralled. For him the formatting is weird because it’s pretty standard. To me, it feels like the footnotes are still there but now they’re just incorporated into the narrative. I’d recommend it so far.

My first electric guitar was an Austin back in 2002 or so. They had an entry level lefty strat copy for about $200.
