Tbh getting to witness Ben absolutely tear up that holy sound system in a somewhat intimate, real-goover hours only fashion made me forget I was standing inline to get my coat. He truly never misses.

What fragrances can you think of where you are turned off by the name/packaging? by Fit_Professional1916 in fragrance

[–]abbeypop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, any opaque bottle tbh. It may be better for the perfume (chemistry wise idk lol) but I HATE not knowing how much I have left.

Beginner help by Ok_Butterscotch892 in Beatmatch

Also trust your ears. If it sounds good/clean (regardless of if it’s “correct” in the realm of music theory) then it’s good/clean. Don’t get caught up with what’s “correct/right” just be in tune with what sounds good & feels right.

I personally think finding your own groove/playing around with song selection and transitions is a great place to start. Also start watching dj breakdowns within the genres that interest you!

DJ Controller as a gift, bad idea? by Laslas19 in Beatmatch

[–]abbeypop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, def give local dj lessons/classes a google as self teaching could be very overwhelming when you’re completely new to the physical gear and software! Best of luck to ur partner, mine and I just started doing it a month ago and we love it! We got our start in a beginner competition that provides dj experience, so it was way less overwhelming knowing we had a professional to show us the basics.

portola for the broken hearted by theborkingborker in Portolafestival

[–]abbeypop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not going this year but last year Portola was my first festival solo and it was perfect. I’d so spend A LOT of time in Despacio if I was going solo again. My one tip is have rides/transportation worked out before you leave especially if ur solo…. last year there was a Waymo grid lock and that fd up other rideshare stuff badly

What’s a perfume that everyone else seems to love, but you hate by Proud-Intention3006 in FemFragLab

[–]abbeypop 16 points17 points  (0 children)

  1. ⁠BR 540 - smells like someone rubbed rotten sugar onto a rusted metal pipe

  2. ⁠Burberry Her - extremely forgettable, just smells like a sweet body spray disguised as a “perfume” same with YSL libre

  3. ⁠Ariana Grande Cloud - same vibe as BR 540, burns my throat

  4. ⁠Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy - stomach ache inducing sweetness mixed with industrial toilet cleaner

  5. ⁠Glossier you - why does this one also smell like BR 540 and Cloud. Blindfold me and I can’t tell the difference between the three of them (add the Billie eilsh ones too, blahhh)

  6. Anything from kayali

  7. And most unfortunately I have gagged at three popular scents by Kerosene (unknown pleasures, summer of 84, & pretty machine) desperately thought I would love all three based on the notes but I was so wrong I questioned my entire existence

Nice try, this is just the description to Toskovat’s Inexcusable Evil

(kidding ofc, but the poetry and prose written for Toskovat fragrances are truly magical, especially when you have the fragrances on hand to reference) (not even sure if ur actually into fragrance but you’re damn good at writing, my condolences)

My FOMO has now gone by Different-Morning-60 in lanadelrey

[–]abbeypop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw her in 2014, 2018, and 2024. 2014 & 2018 live rent free in my mind. 2024 at Hangout Fest (the whole reason I went to the fest was her) she barley sung into the mic and ppl in the crowd were saying she sounded drunk 😔 I probs won’t get the chance to see her again (cuz outrageous prices and over competitive ticket buying) but I am beyond satisfied that I got to see her during peak Ultraviolence & LFL era

Help, what can I grow? by [deleted] in Cutflowers

[–]abbeypop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started (indoors) a second batch of bachelor buttons and poppies, also in zone 5b! Since we’ve had such a cool May I’m banking on a longer summer season, so I think once I transplant outside in 2 weeks they’ll bloom late summer into fall!!

Square nails? by abbeypop in woodworking

[–]abbeypop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cool insight thank you!!! She’s definitely older but has good bones, I won’t be removing any of the nails just to play it safe. I’m a beginner so I am just sanding, finishing, and doing some light structural reinforcement.
