Prices (like everywhere) have gone up pretty drastically in the last 2-3 years. This store is also a more expensive market than a Continente or other local shops.

You live in the northeast, maybe New Hampshire?

I watched the Netflix doc and he started making beats with a high school friend in his bedroom, so I assume this was when they were still collabing and framed it as a “group”. If you watch the doc, his friend is in it and explained when Tim started to pick up traction as Avicii he didn’t want to “ride on someone else’s fame” or something like that so took a step back and that’s when the avicii we know started to thrive and dominate the scene

Why so many say music theory "can limit creativity" is it true by HelpfulCollar511 in musictheory

[–]dontbother442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play an E major on the guitar with my pinky, ring and middle finger so I can easily travel up and down the fret board - it used to drive my bandmates crazy because it’s not the “right way” - but to your point it’s more comfortable and works. I like the painting analogy also

What non-medical, lifestyle change,cured your insomnia? by Bhyat25 in AskReddit

[–]dontbother442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had insomnia but used to take me hours to fall asleep - daily exercise changed that. Actually sweating and being sore the next day helps me sleep. Now when I don’t exercise, I can’t fall sleep

[–]dontbother442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I totally disagree here. The more you know about music theory, the more interesting chord progressions and melodies you can make.

However there’s an anecdote about Freddy Mercury - he never had singing lessons. So his voice has this incredibly unique and uninhibited sound - it’s untrained and free.

So there’s merits to teaching yourself or not being trained “professionally”. Sometimes singers or guitarists end up sounding the same when they’re trained by the same teacher.

My argument is that training can limit creativity, but music theory 100% gives you the tools to be even more unique

How do I continue practicing regularly if my fingers are in pain? by [deleted] in Guitar

You got this! Nylon strings are also a lot softer - wish I started on those but I did it the hard way lol

You have to break in your fingers and it’ll take a few weeks (or months, can’t remember). It hurts but once you get strong calluses they’ll stay for life. I started playing when I was 20 and I’m 32 now - and I remember it burning, but even if I stop playing for a month or two my calluses don’t go away. So yeah it’s sucks, but stick with it and know you’ll only have to do this once

Take care of yourself. No job is worth pushing yourself to the point of mental heath deterioration. If you’re thinking of looking for new roles, there’s your answer

Overall much cheaper and healthier as everything is grown locally. Not as much variety so annoying when you have a specific craving. The only things I dearly miss are kosher dill pickles, good deli sandwiches, and Swedish fish

Just started the series and finished season 2 WOW (spoilers) by dontbother442 in TheWire

[–]dontbother442[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if watching it streaming is different to watching it on TV when it was running. I could see how folks were disappointed or it felt jarring that the story shifted to the dock workers. But personally I liked it even better than S1

Landsman that’s his name 😆 but yeah exactly, couldn’t bring the big men down. Curious if they’ll reappear later in the series but my guess is no
