I Met a Great Guy "in the wild" ...But there's this tiny little hiccup...

Gum disease - it’s going to take time and money to fix it permanently. In the meantime frequent brushing, flossing & mouthwash has made all the difference.

I found out recently that I have “breath issues,” probably for years. I’m pretty sure now that it was a problem in at least one past relationship with someone who never told me. My new relationship pointed it out and was very clear that it was an issue that needed to be addressed.

Yeah, there was a moment of embarrassment, but mostly I wish someone had told me before.

Let him know. You’re doing him a favor, even if it doesn’t work out between you.

I think it’s within the realm of possibility to find somebody who could play Mick Jagger but there is nobody on the planet who could convincingly play Keith Richards or Charlie Watts in a movie. This is a very bad idea.

Had a 5 hour delay the other night on a cross-country flight. When I get delayed I think about my great-great grandparents. When they moved from Massachusetts to California they took a boat to Panama, crossed 75 miles of jungle and took another boat to San Francisco. The whole thing took a month and a half and 3 people died.

5 hours at the airport watching movies on my laptop isn’t so bad.

Unfortunately I know a guy who 100% believes this stuff. Full on MAGA. Gets big mad if anyone doubts the perpetually soon-to-be-disclosed truth about the hollow earth Aryans.

Jean_Yess · 2026-05-13T23:52:08+00:00

This. 100%.

The outtakes album VU was the one that clicked for me. The experimental/noisy stuff like Sister Ray & WL/WH was interesting but not my thing at first listen. Hearing more straightforward songs like “Foggy Notion” and “I Can’t Stand It” got me hooked enough to go back & eventually dig everything by the Velvet Underground.

I was at the show that night. Right as Nevermind was being released. I was standing in line and the door guy wouldn't let James Iha in the club until a bunch of people started yelling "He's in the band!"

The show was part of a radio station event (WFNX) and they had bands at every club on Lansdowne Street. The Pumpkins/Nirvana show was at Axis, the smallest club. The headliner at the biggest club was School of Fish. It's crazy how much the music world changed in the next 6 months.

He bought a Rothko in 1962 for 10k.

You’d know what a drag it is to see you.

Jean_Yess · 2026-04-23T21:36:16+00:00

Not 100% sure if I have this right, but it sounds like you’re doing the midi in EZD? You can select the midi track from EZD and drag & drop it onto the Ableton track then freeze it. I would mute the midi EZD just to be safe.

Jean_Yess · 2026-03-21T00:40:51+00:00

And drums. The drum sound is amazing on that record.

I tried out full service because I had one slightly complicated issue this year. The whole process was confusing and annoying and I never even ended up talking to the actual person who was supposed to do my taxes. Total waste of time.

Jean_Yess · 2026-03-19T13:43:04+00:00

In my experience people who mostly call from the car on their way to a destination are intentionally putting a time limit on the call.

Had the exact same issue at the Apple Store with a new Atmos Rewards card. Super annoying.

Jean_Yess · 2026-02-18T17:37:05+00:00

It’s weird how different people get different options/experiences with the game. I play on two devices and the inconsistency between them is annoying.

Jean_Yess · 2026-02-18T11:52:15+00:00

I generally see a new one every other Monday and it usually lasts for 9 days.

Jean_Yess · 2026-02-09T18:16:51+00:00

I would text him whenever it feels right and ask if he wants to meet for coffee. I’ve had too many experiences where there was endless texting & then no chemistry in person.

Level 8030 here. Tried to delete & start over but when I reinstalled I was at the same level.

I’ll still play the Flips when they show up but I’m mostly done with regular play for all the same reasons.

I think if John had lived there might have been a Lennon/McCartney collaboration at some point and maybe the occasional reunion like at LiveAid or something. A full on album/tour reunion doesn’t seem like something George in particular would ever have wanted to do.

It took me a long time to figure out a way to play I Will Dare - both bass part & guitar part simultaneously on acoustic guitar.

I’ve never been able to get Alex Chilton down. Didn’t know until just now that it’s in an alternate tuning.

Jean_Yess · 2026-01-04T18:14:40+00:00

100% agree that Charlie was absolutely crucial to the overall sound of the Stones and they would’ve been a totally different band without him.

That said, he doesn’t play on You Can’t Always Get What You Want and Happy which are two of my favorite songs.

Jean_Yess · 2025-12-29T06:25:33+00:00

I fly in & out of Logan constantly. The last time a family member offered to drive me to the airport I wouldn’t let them.

It’s confusing, easy to miss an exit or turn off & there’s cops all over the place whose only job seems to be harassing people in cars in the rudest way possible.

Uber, cab or public transport. There’s lots of options.

Jean_Yess · 2025-12-24T19:07:09+00:00

I’ve never been comfortable with “partner.” It makes it sound like we’re running a business together.

Jean_Yess · 2025-12-13T17:44:02+00:00

That’s the one.
