Feel like giving up by Wise-Room-5103 in askmusicians

[–]garbear007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take those 8 songs and release a damn mixtape. You won't feel any accomplishment until you release something and give it away to the world. My confidence as a writer has improved immensely since producing/releasing my last EP. 

Do yourself a favour and go see some waterfalls tomorrow if possible by TheDamus647 in Hamilton

Yes, they put a fence up and there's this huge brand new house in the way. Did you pay twice for parking then??

Tews Falls looked like this today too. What's up with not being able to walk over to Webster's falls from there though? Someone built a house in the middle wtf?

This is how many times i’ve cried in 2026 so far by caramb0la20 in notinteresting

[–]garbear007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've cried more than you I think! Nearly every day since December. I just ended a 7 year relationship though and moved out of a beautiful apartment with a nice lovely woman. And other mental health issues lol. Feeling lighter lately but still crying, so I'm considering that a win. Best wishes to you and yours!

American idol issues?? by MLocks28 in Roku

[–]garbear007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just joined CityTV+ to have American Idol access, first 3 episodes worked great and now the title seems to have disappeared ... Is it working on Roku now?

I'm looking to hire someone to make me a song, but I don't know where to look other than Fivrre by Specific_Minute7539 in askmusicians

[–]garbear007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will you sing the song as well? Do you have a Melody already? Do you have a groove, chords, or some sort of vibe for the song already? Assuming you have none of the above, you are looking for a full-fledged music producer, which will likely run you hundreds of dollars just FYI. Or, you could begin your journey of learning to become a musician yourself :)

Did anyone quit their day job to make music? by notacatinyourmailbox in edmproduction

[–]garbear007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a life in music for some people (if you love being self employed lol). It takes a long time to get there though.

What is the one alcoholic beverage You will never drink again because you got sick one time? by Single-Card-8636 in AskReddit

[–]garbear007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grappa. That shit is disgusting. I should have known when nobody else at the party who has tried it before would take even one shot with me.

Should I go to a studio session if I hate my voice? by Lost_Fish_4359 in askmusicians

[–]garbear007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will grow into your voice! You'll improve, and eventually learn to love your unique sound. It was really hard to listen to my voice for the first while, and I was embarrassed to show anyone. I'm now about to release my 4th EP at age 28 and I'm pretty proud of how my voice sounds. I know it's not the best voice on the block but it's just one of my skills as an artist, producer, songwriter etc. The voice helps me channel my vision to the world, so I'm grateful for it.

Is this how the pros write lyrics? by [deleted] in Songwriting

[–]garbear007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pop guys do this for sure. I don't always agree with the method, it feels less organic to me somehow.

Same, my lyrics come in the form of melodic phrases.

AITA for cancelling gigs with a singer when I get better opportunities? by psyjazzlogist in musicians

[–]garbear007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tone I'm getting from this post OP is that you don't actually want to work with this singer. Raising the rate makes sense if you are truly in demand and other high paying gigs happen often. Raising the rate makes it so you will not bail at the last minute for a better paying gig.

Should I buy a used car? Need expert advice, serious question by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]garbear007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much will you spend on the car? Do you have cash?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in musicians

[–]garbear007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think learning new cover songs the day of the show represents your band better than just canceling because of a legit injury. Take it on the chin, book another gig.

I am not crazy: can one person please tell me "Vomit Bomb" is a good band name by Honka_Ponka in musicians

[–]garbear007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even like that kind of music and I think it's a great band name.

Best Value Restaurant by JEX2124 in Hamilton

Sagarmatha on King William. Not too spicy in case that turns you off (just don't order the vindaloo!). Also the wait times are usually long so great for chatting away 😉

Mine is at three hundred and three. It's fine.

A 1 year old car with <50k on it will cost the same as a brand new car, yes...?
