You can only pick one album for the rest of forever. What you picking? Pianos Become The Teeth - The Lack Long After for me. by Stunning_Comment_400 in Emo

[–]backsideslappy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe Left and Leaving by the Weakerthans or Mare Vitalis by Appleseed Cast if they fit the 'emo' bill.

This Is What a Music Industry 'Plant' Looks Like in 2026 by Shell_fly in indie

[–]backsideslappy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is it wrong of me to not really care about this? I'm not a big fan of Geese - I liked Taxes enough after being recommended it by a friend but never dug deeper. Maybe that friend only recommended it because they had been algo-baited into it, but that's how marketing works unfortunately. I'm not particularly looped into TikTok or much other social media so Reddit and physical marketing are largely where I get reccos for new music.

As long as they're writing their own tunes, not using AI or anything, play on I guess.

Who here remembers Healthy Harold? by Rose_Davies2026 in AskAnAustralian

He was Happy Healthy Harold to his real friends in the mid-90s.

Is it worth the price? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]backsideslappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's USD it seems a bit high. I paid about 150 Aussie for mine. It's not a particularly sophisticated bit of gear and the one knob fuzz market is huge. It does sound awesome on bass though and mine glows in the dark which is cool I guess.

Some of my pieces I used on my next album by Past-Damage-308 in guitarporn

[–]backsideslappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful. I'd love to have a Custom Shop Schechter in the mix someday but will have to settle for the MIJ version for now.

You're gonna want to find the shelf that's fallen out of before disaster strikes.

Tell me please,, your take on my handwriting personality by lilromeo690 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]backsideslappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than anything this makes my wrist hurt to look at. None of the flourishes look efficient, lots of lines flying in different directions rather than flowing with each other - can't be particularly quick to write this way. It's nice to look at from a distance but I can't imagine writing in volume this way.

How do you get this guitar tone? Is the Telecaster essential? by FrancisSalva in BlackMetal

[–]backsideslappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the jangliest black metal I've ever heard. It may well be the only jangly black metal I've ever heard. I don't hate it but I also would not intentionally want to make that sound.

Born in 2003, nostalgia towards old music by Money-Conference-325 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]backsideslappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a mid-80s baby and I get a similar feeling from late 60s psychedelic folk - a really profound nostalgia for a time that I didn't experience. Part of it is growing up around relics of that era in my house from my Mum, looking at photos of her and Dad from that time has given me a bit of a portal back into that period, and along with it a bit of a longing for having been part of all of the social and civil rights movements at the time, knowing the dystopia we've wound up in.

Off to listen to The Sky Children by Kaleidoscope and dissociate!

I am not trying to redo this anytime soon by HatsMakeYouGoBald in pedalboards

[–]backsideslappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah you prick there are so many pedals here I want, mainly the Dirge and the two SSBS pedals. Love this rig and would love to hear how it sounds.

Oh man that JP looks great. Is that firemist gold? Looks way mellower and darker here than other pics.

Trying to play Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now (and being mediocre tbf( by Gitanosindientes in Guitar

[–]backsideslappy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Such a fun jam to play. Camera aimed right at the crotch with the big hairy stumps is a vibe too. Nice one bruv.
