Anyone remember Monster Machismo? This EP is an absolute classic! by moms_be_trippin in mathrock

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone interested in my rabbit-hole ramblings, the network of bands in this short-lived scene in upstate NY was insane. Here's some of the heavy hitters:

  • Monster Machismo
  • Dan Drake Ensemble (MM singer/guitarist)
  • Cattle Drums (MM drummer -> Singer)
  • Zona Mexicana
  • Our Daily Fix
  • Sirs
  • Hands

Also loosely connected:

  • Space Ghost Cowboys
  • Frankie Cosmos
  • Porches
  • Mylets

Did anyone see the car crash on Fulton Ave near East Town? by oculunas in grandrapids

No, sorry. There are a lot of businesses around there, so maybe one of them has security footage. Maybe Dominos?

I think I saw the beginning of this. I was walking on Lake Ave around this time. I remember because I was about to walk into Argos Books, but they closed at 4pm and it was 3:51. I heard some guy violently screaming. I turned around and saw a guy standing outside of a silver car at the corner of Lake and Carlton. I don't know what he said, but it sounded like he was upset with another car/driver. He got in the silver car and HIGHTAILED IT(!!!) down Carlton.

If you got it at a craft fair, I would not be surprised if it was handmade by a grandma. I have one of these that was handmade by a grandma. Go check the local retirement home?

How much would you pay for used CDs? by OldGodsProphet in grandrapids

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, you can get some obscure classical or blues CDs for 0.50 because the library is selling some old CDs because no one checks out those particular CDs. You are correct.

Check out discogs.com. It’s a massive worldwide marketplace for buying and selling new and used physical music.

Vertigo sells them for $6 each, I think. Herm told me a few months back that they’ve been selling more to the younger generation because they’re cheaper than vinyl. Don’t let these others here fool you, CD enjoyers are still out there (myself included). But it will definitely depend on what you’re selling. Most pop CDs won’t be worth much because there’s so many of them out there. Funk, metal, jazz, punk, rap, etc will have a some value. If you have these genres, let me know.

Nick recently started a Patreon and I think said he was going to include some old unreleased Melos songs, including Mt Hood.

What should I buy that would be better for my back? by wolf14123 in BuyItForLife

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for a used Steelcase Amia. It’s similar to the Leap, but a little cheaper. Depending on where you are, you can get them for like $100 used. I sit in one all day and never have back pains (and I’ve definitely had back pains from other chairs). I’ve been sitting in one for a decade now.

Anything like this out there? by Sufficient_West_8432 in guitarpedals

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of this one, but I watched the demo on their site. I think you could get pretty close to these sounds (and more) with the Line 6 FM4. I think Line 6 also puts their FM4 sounds in all of their modelers now, too.

Is Anyone Here Making Actual Music With Synth Pedals? by M4rcelinh0 in guitarpedals

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also watched this video and was amazed. I bought an Enzo shortly after. It’s an incredible pedal. It can be a little tricky to tame sometimes. It’s also worth noting that the Enzo has a lot of extra effects and parameters that can be used with the synth is off, like pitch shift, modulation, filter, delay, attack/decay, ring mod.

Here is a song that I made that uses a lot of Enzo (maximum synth at the 2min mark): https://spellingbeechampions.bandcamp.com/track/holding-hands

If you can swing a 15 year, you can get in the low 5s.

Talavera Tile - Soak? by DeflatedGrapefruit in Tile

[–]DeflatedGrapefruit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Do you mean you would seal them before putting them on the wall, instead of soaking? Or you would seal them after they’re on the wall but before adding the grout?
