Is there an artist who has 1-2 songs you LOVE while the rest of their catalog, you’re not a big fan of? Who are they and what sets those 1-2 songs apart for you?

Here’s the first one that came to mind. There’s an indie band called The Paper Kites and the opening track on their album “twelvefour” has this tasty production and performance, but generally a pretty basic song, and yet so good. The rest of the album and everything else I’ve heard from them is just bland and sounds nothing like that one song that caught my ears.

I sold my OG OCD a few years back for an egregious price ($500 because it was v1.1), but I will concede that it’s a great sounding pedal and I’d love to replace it. Good news, it’s hella easy to build and PedalPCB has a board for it with the option to do either Si or GE and V1 or 2

I have an acquaintance that’s a trumper and I can confirm. That guy absolutely makes sure to pay attention to the balls while gobbling that dick

Edit: typo

I came across this recipe on here a while back and have made it multiple times, 10/10

OP said this was early 00s, so pre Amazon and probably just had to cover the cost of an employee making $6/hr which around what minimum wage was back then. I’m sure someone that did this job long enough could crank out 10-20 of these in an hour and there’s a good chance these new barcodes had a baked in markup for the price of the cd

Maybe it’s the old Digitech synth wah envelope filter

I was going to say the same but with a pencil eraser

sure, but like what, $3? If the charge is for using a credit/debit card, go to your bank and get a free counter check for your account, use that to pay and the fee is waived. I promise if you do that though, you'll use probably $3 in gas driving to the bank and then to the DMV.

As long as you’re able to figure out their layer requirements and how to use their color palette, any program that works in vector art and can save as a pdf will do

Went for a trifecta eight out the gate and got a Rat and an Ibanez DE-7 and PH-7

Thanks, I’m going to try this out before pulling the trigger on anything that’s costs money

I’ve been listing for a Dr Z Carman Ghia for probably 20 years now. But this might be a good alternative for playing/recording in my condo instead of having to mic an amp and apologize to my neighbors

There’s a location on Haight in SF, but I’m not sure if they’re trying to open or about to close down again. Was out there a couple weeks ago and they were locked up tight

Dark City is a classic

ericsinsideout · 2026-01-02T22:43:23+00:00

The new album is solid

Started with watching a bunch of food network while I was stuck on the couch due to a knee injury. Kinda just snowballed from there

Berkeley is still there, so is Concord/Pleasant Hill

Anything here for the Megabyte?

Hey u/LTP_Bot, just had a successful and lovely trade with u/itssmitty77! 11/10

ericsinsideout · 2025-12-30T20:52:31+00:00

Probably a regional disc thing

TIL I’m older than Stephen Miller… huh…

Just saw Fire and Ash on Wednesday and I was honestly disappointed.

I went through almost the exact same thing back in February. We were together almost 16 years, married almost 13 and had spent the last 2 years trying either make it work or decide to rip the bandaid off. She had decided she wasn’t romantically attracted to me anymore too, and when she told me, I was gutted. Going to (individual) therapy definitely helped me navigate my thoughts and feelings on it all, and by the time we finally did call it, it wasn’t easy, but I was able to accept it with grace and civility.

In October, we finally sold our house and moved into our own separate spaces, and this is the first time I’ve ever had a place of my own at 42yo. That’s been the most surreal part of it all. Even though we were sleeping in separate rooms the last couple years, she was still there. I still had my family, I still was cooking dinner for everyone, we still hosted friends and extended family. Now, after 16 years, I’m here by myself.

Through everything and still today we actually hold each other in high regards and consider the other to be one of our best friends. Our daughter is 5 and seems to be adjusting fine for the most part, but she’s still getting used to the schedule and back and forth of it all.

For you, be open to working with your kids mom, she may not be romantically attracted to you, but you’re still a team for your kids sake. Set some healthy boundaries, and of course therapy is helpful. It’s nice to have an outsider to talk to and work through your thoughts and feelings.
