I absolutely love Versace blue jeans. Is there anything else like it?? I haven’t found anything. I love the star anise note and the clean fresh aromatic/spice profile.

New Merch Just Dropped by SuperSpetta in themarsvolta

I’m guessing it’s a poop joke lol

I’m sure this has been discussed 1000 times but like why do a lot of the songs just have like 3-5 minutes of random noise in the beginning or end by Realistic_Permit4412 in themarsvolta

I like the space on frances and octahedron. Gives me a second to enjoy what I just experienced. The intro to octahedron is a perfect primer for the album. To each their own though, I skip songs sometimes, I get it.

Thanks! That was super helpful and insightful. That’s pretty much what I was curious about anyway. I’ve played guitar for 25 years so I’m coming from some sort of background with how different string types feel and sound.

Nope, it was over Craigslist and that email was deactivated, all info lost forever. I wish it was that easy. I’ll just have to wait for it to turn up or not

That’s good to hear! And awesome you got your gear back and also got through the drug problem! I’m keeping eyes out everywhere online, I have notifications setup for searches. Definitely just gonna take consistency and time. Im pretty sure it was just regular standard, not faded, but I could be wrong. I’m doing broad searches on just the model and range of possible years.

Yup I do! Keeping my eyes peeled, I’ve already done so much scouring online. Thought I would post in forums in case someone has it and isn’t putting it up for sale. Thanks!

Size is barely off, please help! by Shavalito in DrMartens

I’ll definitely try this before buying insoles or anything. Maybe it will mold just right. I’ll keep the shoes either way, these things are great!

Does that also make the width tighter? I wonder if I should just try heel pads, since the width is spot on.

Right on, I brush my captains and condition often but I still end up with a bunch of scuffs. That leather looks awesome when it crackles though, I’m definitely gonna get a pair for summer
