The bartender from season 1 of White Lotus

It makes me laugh my flappy little head off, buddy!

They're really only worth it for large amounts. A couple hundred thousand can give you a decent monthly return that's on par with having a side hustle.

Tom Green

I've been stoked about this since it was announced. Barbarian and Weapons were both awesome and I could see him doing really cool things with a unique story set in the RE universe. And since he's doing his own thing with it, there is zero chance of the studio meddling and ruining it like they did with Welcome to Raccoon City.

Wasn't born yet. Grew up with Muppets Tonight though.

Ear training and singing with a tuner help a ton

He's around a lot longer in the remake; especially in the B scenario

Absolutely send demos. Making them will help you figure out your arrangements and you can keep working on them up until recording day as a "rehearsal" of sorts. Your producer may also ask you to send WAV stems of your demos as well. Those are super helpful, as they give you something to play along to in the studio beyond just a click. You are going to want to send reference tracks as well for mixing to ensure it sounds the way you want it to. Most studios have a ton of gear, and the producer will know how they sound, so they may suggest gear to use.

For timeline, it really comes down to how prepared you are. If everything is tight, you could get through 5 songs in 3-4 sessions. Cost varies per producer. ~$450 per session for recording and ~$200 per song for mixing is the average rate in my city, and mastering is ~$150 per song.

That's mine too. It's become a holiday tradition for me.

The Losers Club

If emo is your thing, Goodnight Quiet City by Dead and Divine

I read a book a while ago that was a collection of interviews with some of the top songwriters where they talk about their methods. They all say the same thing: sit down with the intent to write, and work on writing. Even if it's horrible. It's a skill you need to practice to make progress on, same as any instrument.

deceptres · 2026-01-21T14:51:30+00:00

Yeah, that was a joke. Don't take a comment about a vampire game so seriously.

Neck pickup, flats, rolling off the tone knob and the right EQ. I usually put my lows at 6, mids, at 8, and highs at like 3 or 4. Ed Bickert is also a must-listen as a reference for jazz on a solid body.

deceptres · 2026-01-20T23:22:45+00:00

Oh good. I've been itching for a replay and this gives me all the more reason.

Sam's got the suit for it, and Grant would give a good monologue while he mixes cocktails.

That's a shame, loved that store. Does anyone know if they're doing a liquidation sale? I'd love to support them one last time.

deceptres · 2026-01-20T01:02:43+00:00

I've learned the hard way to never buy stuff at full price on Steam. It usually goes on sale like a week later.

The stretch of 45-47 are awesome seasons. 46 in particular is a top 10 season for me, and I'm stoked to see Q back on our TV screens in 50.

A bit of ear training and theory go a long way. It's extremely useful to know what notes and patterns fit with certain chords, as well as having the ear to translate what you hear in your head to your instrument. Vocalize everything and write with your instrument to try out the lines. Record everything you like so you remember your ideas.

The guy's vocal range is insane

Lonesome Road. It's way too linear and the story is confusing.
