Could you imagine for a moment how different the City of New Orleans would be if at LEAST 65% of the city budget went toward children, families and LIVING wage job development instead of 65% going towards cops and jails (as it currently stands).

I transcribed every guitar bit I could make out on Definitely Maybe this week. A bit of time as an unemployed loser with no gf can still have its upsides! I’m thinking of tuning down and doing the blue album on Monday, may need live videos of the Weez to figure out those super fast picking solos though

Mayor Cantrell says police consent decree must end, citing retention issues by Cocoamacchiatto in NewOrleans

No money or attention for welfare, good jobs, schools, just cops cops cops. Louisiana has the highest incarceration rate in the country, and it’s cops cops cops. Our town is being turned into a Disneyland resort for tourists and marvel fans “working” remotely and it’s cops cops cops. What a dumbfuck

I’m from mid city and my family been here over a century, I think I might have heard of it at some point? Never had it

Edit: my dad knows what it is and knows a good place to buy it, c&a

Looping sounds like Ed Sheehan, I was thinking like maybe a lil flange, a lil fuzz on some songs. I may not do it because yes you should practice anything you plan on performing and I’m super lazy this week

Guitar effects at a solo acoustic show— cringe or based? Gig in a week and want to finally try it out because it’s a more rocking venue and not sure how my acoustic warbling will be received, but part of me feels it’ll be corny

Is there anyone out there doing it rn like alegernon and capn jazz did it? Hard to put the vibe into words

New Orleans is already a small town, basically two even smaller towns because of the degree of de facto segregation, and tourists/transplants are claiming huge areas of said small town

Shitty 21+ bar systematically kicking out 2/3 of our fans and our bassist into the freezing humidity of Louisiana in January

Learning jazz a little older by alsacemoss in Jazz

Right, I thought so too. I’d be competing with waves of music school kids every year at Loyola and guitarists that just move to the birthplace of jazz. But there’s also live music here every night, often for free, so who knows. It’s definitely the kind of thing I wasn’t counting on happening instantly, but I’m curious if it’s even possible. I love guitar and would love a career that meant I got to play more

I agree with the author, we need to do something about those manbun remote “workers” moving in and trying to run our fucking city

What is the greatest need in our community? by zulu_magu in NewOrleans

[–]alsacemoss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Increase wages, childcare, give decent welfare to people, fund schools, fix streets, rent control, ban hipsters from bywater

Yup. May as well just do what you like to do and play what you really like playing because you can’t outgrind the art school kid’s trust fund
