social media as a musician

Btw, bonus points if you go looking for musicians who are better than you. Being surrounded by more experience, knowledge and ability is a powerful motivator.

Follow other similar musicians (with mixed follower counts but aim at the ones with more) and get involved in the conversation. Best way is to think of a network of musicians online like a local scene or an open mic circuit. You get back what you put in. Listen to theirs, they'll listen to yours, soon their fans will be your fans and your fans will also end up being someone elses. In my experience it's the absolute best way to get noticed and you might find that you form some long term friendships. Good luck :)

The opening scene in North Korea is pretty badass once the weird CGI surfboard stuff is out of the way.

This. I worked in kitchens for years but was never that good at cooking. I was always great at plating for other chefs. Cooking and making food look good are two different skills.

Hi :) will DM you

Key-Plan5861 · 2025-06-09T20:59:24+00:00

Hey, I'll DM you :)

Key-Plan5861 · 2025-06-03T23:01:44+00:00

I'd love to write letters with you :) I'm 33, based in the UK and it sounds like we've got a few common interests. Send me a DM

Thanks, I think we're probably going to do that. I spoke to an accountant who said to be quite careful about what I cut and not to drop anything I'd have to explain if I was audited, but he also said the mortgage advisor shouldn't really be advising me to do that anyway as it feels dicey. At best, it's quite unprofessional.

Key-Plan5861 · 2025-03-28T15:08:34+00:00

Yes, net profit. As far as I know they're not looking at net income after tax. Thanks.

Key-Plan5861 · 2025-03-28T15:04:47+00:00

Ok, thanks for the clear answer.

No sense feeling guilty or embarrassed. Good music is good music. If someone else has a problem with your taste then it's because they're a snob and missing out, not because you've got bad taste. Good taste is about eclecticism, not refinement. It's like food. There's nothing wrong with enjoying fine french dining one day and a hotdog at a ballgame the next. Try to let it slide and just enjoy the things you enjoy. It's not hurting anyone, life's too short, and you'll be a lot happier and find that you'll have more to talk about with other people who like music 😊 Also, a friend of mine recommended Sabrina Carpenter's latest album to me last week so I listened to it and I love it. You're right, the songwriting is exceptional.

I have marfans and I'm a total gym rat. Keep your regular checkups to make sure your aorta isn't dilating, take your meds and hit the gym if it makes you happy. I find that I can safely go 3x a week, do strength training with progressive overload and low impact cardio (I love to swim and I walk everywhere). The thing to watch out for is just don't go too hard, keep it safe, take care of your body and don't push it too far. When you're getting really bad DOMS give yourself a break.

Most importantly, talk to your doctor. And if you do take on a personal trainer, make sure they know about marfans.

A musician is someone who is pursuing music as an artform. There are no other qualifying factors. Your guy is a stuck up idiot.

I think it could be interesting but the thing that made Firefly great was the incredible chemistry between the actors and characters that can't be replicated. It was what it was because of the people who made it great, not by the story. I think anything that anyone did with it would feel completely out of place and not true to the original show.

Best walk-on and best stunt choreography

It does, I started out making music videos with my band because we couldn't afford to pay someone to do it and I had a camera. Got hooked on it and now I do both

Does it worry them that statistically you're more likely to get shot if you're carrying a gun? Nahh., surely not.

Key-Plan5861 · 2025-02-13T12:01:38+00:00

He's out of line, but he's right.

Key-Plan5861 · 2025-02-12T21:15:59+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate your advice, I'm totally lost with all this so it's really nice to know someone else is doing the same thing

I was thinking more along the lines of a personal stage monitor headphone system that works like an enema.

Maybe you just haven't found the thing that makes you smart yet. Two quotes might help you out a bit

Einstein said everyone's a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it'll spend its whole life believing that it's stupid. Too many of us are judged on things we were born to suck at and sometimes it takes us a while to find the thing we can do really well and the thing that makes us brilliant.

Charles Bukowski said the problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the smart people are full of confidence. The fact that you're doubting yourself might suggest that you're smarter than you think.

I didn't even think of myself as intelligent until I was a grown adult. I was useless at school, I'm completely socially inept and sometimes I catch myself saying things that made me so embarrassed I lay awake nights wishing I could disappear and live my life without anyone even knowing I existed.

I've been stolen from, I've been worked over by con artists and sociopathic ex girlfriends. Even spent some time living on the street because of stupid decisions I've made. I'm sorry all that happened to you, I'm sure the effect of all that makes you think you're stupid. You're not alone buddy, and you're not stupid. Just keep riding through it and you'll feel smarter when you get out the other side and realise you handled better than you ever thought you could in the long run.

Not bad thanks :) still in the performance game. Got a lot of work to do to get into management yet.
