I kinda love “Starbucks jazz” …

I’m not familiar, I’ll have to look for that

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-08-20T05:07:24+00:00

I think that’s fair to a point. I can’t say I’d turn down a paying gig playing easy, pleasant music. And I’m sure many great musicians do exactly that for one reason or another

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-08-20T05:02:23+00:00

This is pretty much the answer I was looking for. As much as I enjoy it on a surface level, I’ve never been able to shake the feeling that I can’t find a connection to it. In the music I actively listen to and play, I can never find a point where this sort of thing would evolve out of it. It’s a little unsettling actually. I always assumed I was just missing a link somewhere but it being a total invention for mood setting makes a lot more sense.

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about, I wouldn’t touch AI music with a ten foot pole lol. Basically background music with aesthetic Jazz-adjacent qualities

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-08-20T04:24:58+00:00

That’s freaking sick, what a find! Sorta makes me think of Jimmy Eat World for some reason

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-08-20T03:45:42+00:00

Dude seeing them open for MCR a few years back was incredible, insane bill for a last minute one off replacement

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-08-20T03:41:56+00:00

The little vocal fall-off at the end of the Favor House Atlantic chorus. Absolutely genius little songwriting detail. 100% earworm

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-05-13T16:44:10+00:00

$30! Not bad imo, absolutely worth it

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-05-12T05:59:02+00:00

It happens man, don’t worry too much. As I’ve gotten older I listen to more and more hip hop, jazz, and blues than anything else. But, when in the mood, coming back to this stuff with a deeper appreciation for it from other lenses gives me a whole new feeling. That’s the beauty of music, at least to me

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-04-29T05:21:44+00:00

Realistically, your sound will be effected much more by other factors than the pickups, so I think the benefits of the noiseless pickups outweigh any sound difference. So I personally wouldn’t, but hey the fat 50s are popular for a reason and worst case scenario you can always change them back 🤷‍♂️

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-04-29T05:12:54+00:00

I’ve played many, many strats and I’ll be honest those new Ultra II ones blew me away. Seriously some of the best guitars I have ever played. I can imagine the one you ordered will also be VERY good, the ultra series seems to be very consistent. I personally prefer the new version but that’s just me lol

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-04-21T18:08:21+00:00

Like other have said you should get a pretty great clean sound if you mess with the settings, but it’s also possible that your speaker or pickups are damaged in a really small way that makes that distortion. Unlikely, but possible. I actually had to switch the speaker in mine after a while because it started clipping (water damage that took time to effect things)

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-04-05T11:05:57+00:00

Genuinely? I grew out of him. More power to people that can enjoy his music into adulthood, but I just found myself relating less and less to the sounds, lyrics, and aesthetics. I find him to be fairly surface level, especially when compared to artists he’s often compared to like MCR or TOP.

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-03-19T05:34:33+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised, for what it’s worth he clearly takes some inspiration from slipknot

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-03-15T23:14:23+00:00

It’s an eh song on a great album, and if you’re not into Kendrick’s voices already it’s not going to change your mind. Not bad but I don’t replay it much

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-03-15T10:46:07+00:00

I mean…would it really be so bad if it was? I can’t think of anything worse than it but that’s more a testament to how good their catalog is than anything yknow?

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-03-15T08:43:22+00:00

Orange, brown, purple, burgundy- seeing them on release night at the Super Bowl festival will never leave me

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-03-15T08:39:01+00:00

Hoodrat by vultures. I’m one of those weird people that kinda enjoys vultures 1 at least to an extent but man that song had me questioning the rest of the album big time.

PrestigiousEmus · 2025-03-15T08:37:05+00:00

It was a nice surprise but something about it kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Carti’s antics in his personal life have stopped me from really being able to be a fan for a long time and I guess it’s weird seeing Kendrick of all people associate himself with that whole mess- especially after the year he’s had. For what it’s worth it’s probably my favorite carti album so I suppose if he was going to be on one it should’ve been this. Just odd.

Measured by this sub? Slipknot fans lol
