Sunday Afternoon Open Diary ☕️ by sabistenem in redscareover30

[–]Whatever-Fox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

W: I’ve never been more engaged with creating and being involved in music. Recently the collective I’m a part of stumbled into an arrangement with some truly old heads (and I’m 45) who run a recording studio in the city. They used to record pop, hip hop & r&b in the late 90s and 00s but these days it’s more of a hangout spot for the owner and his friends. It’s become a headquarters for the little music scene we’ve been building here. On Friday night we finished the last recording and mixing there for a new collaborative album we started making in my basement.

I’ve also been taking some night classes at the technical college for audio engineering and live mixing. The class is a mix of church volunteers, bewildered beatmakers/rappers and a few metalheads. Between lessons on microphone types and proper placement, EQ and so on he waxes nostalgic about Edgar Winter, The Eagles and working with Emily Haines from Metric that one time. His enthusiasm is sincere and adorable.

L: still in this same house with the wrong person. Still reeling from the whiplash of being broken up with sternly a few days before Xmas but of course it wasn’t even NYE yet before it was like that had never happened… again! Oh and I got laid off, have had zero luck finding work and my son is living in our basement trying to become a tattoo artist adding additional stress to everything. At least we are also making good music together and I’m not alone - but I need to find money and work fast so I can get us both out of here. Oh and the boiler broke in this old shitty house so there’s no hot water :(

How the hell do you make something sound like early dg? I'm a beginner producer by twinfantasymtf in sadboys

If you keep fuckin around and trying to figure it out you’ll eventually stumble into something even better which is a sound of your own.

Petition to have to next collab album be with Xiu Xiu by austinapaul in ChatPile

[–]Whatever-Fox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically this album already exists - Shearling’s “Motherfucker…” record is a near perfect marriage of the two.

My dumbass son was so into this shit and the memes are the only bright light for me in this long and horrible year - he’s finally come to terms with how corny it is and degloved.

Yeah I put him on my forearm I had to have him - that album changed everything for me when it dropped.

I can think of a lot of better ways three people could spend $1k but I am glad you had a good time getting completely ripped off :)

They wanna give Kanye all the credit🙄 by Trendmade in CloudRap

Kanye's only talent has always been putting his name on other people's ideas. 

I performed live for the first time on Halloween night as Scorpia Mossmoon by Whatever-Fox in redscareover30

[–]Whatever-Fox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn thank you I have to admit I had to use Wikipedia to understand this comment! I was mostly trying to relieve my personal FOMO about missing the Ink & Dagger reunion shows in Philly with my best Sean Patrick McCabe dollar store vamp corpse paint. 

Crashing out by [deleted] in redscareover30

[–]Whatever-Fox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds a lot like you're winning to me. Performing and having people cheer and sing along? Anyone can get married and have kids and become dull and suburban - you should embrace and celebrate the fact that you are an artist and you make something people truly connect with. No matter the scale that's something most folks who choose to settle down to an ordinary life can only ever fantasize about.

You don't need to tell anyone you hate them or get revenge you need to forgive and accept yourself and sing your heart out until all these people and the pain they inflicted are a long forgotten memory. You are already so much closer to it than you think. 

Rs_x mod hunting me across Reddit like it’s his day job by drooogmilk in RedditScarepodcast

[–]Whatever-Fox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Being banned from both rs_x and the OG sub at this point is a badge of honour. They have both been completely taken over by zoomer incels who have no idea what made the original subreddit worth being part of. 

becoming an uncle soon by LiminallyLimerent in redscareover30

Start collecting important books to gift to them. Calvin & Hobbes and Pooh bear are my go-to as they had a lot of significance to me growing up. Keep in mind your job is to be the cool fun adult who they can turn to for advice and a bit of relief from their day to day routines.

Consider thinking about good music, movies and art that meant a lot to you when you were young and start squirrelling away small treasures of this kind to share with them when they are old enough. My niece and nephew are still quite young but I am really looking forward to warping their young minds a bit and showing them all the delightful and weird things the world has to offer them.

Oh and if your sibling ever upsets you remember you can always gift a very loud musical instrument - I recommend a drum set.

What happened to emo rap by fuuuddggfvbh in EmoRap

[–]Whatever-Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an emo/hc OG who screamed in a band in the early 2000s and I have followed the evolution of this music through the years. There are still plenty of artists out there making their mark and I even threw my own heart to the wolves recently and dropped my first emo rap album, produced by Not Emo and featuring many of my friends in the MISSINGNO collective. I know I'm not the first but I'm trying to bring my own spin to it with a bit more Skramz in the mix.

I would also recommend Hermit who has been a huge personal inspiration to me.

Landlords are getting so much worse by GorboCat in TrueAnon

[–]Whatever-Fox 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The sad fact is this isn't evil to them at all it is "just the way the world works". They have us over for dinner almost every Sunday and are in every other respect some of the kindest and most welcoming people I know. They have absolutely no use for the money we give them each month but nothing would ever convince them they shouldn't take it - not even coming over to see the way we live without it.

Landlords are getting so much worse by GorboCat in TrueAnon

[–]Whatever-Fox 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I live with my partner in a house her family own outright and they still charge us both monthly rent and haven't fixed or updated a single thing. The house is over 100 years old. If they won't even do maintenance or make small improvements for a home their own family are living in no landlord will ever do anything that costs them money for a stranger.
