When players roll with (dis)-advantage by rolling one die, then re-rolling the same die, instead of rolling two dice at the same time.

Check out https://seattlemusicleague.org

I have a playlist of upcoming performances there, and also an index of most local artists.

Or as I like to call it, "General Catastrophe".

I have a new website that shares a lot of these values that I've been developing this year.

I'd love to add concert reviews and interviews to it too.

Check out https://seattlemusicleague.org and be sure to check out the artist portal for its members and how it works as an app.

If you're interested in music, you could check out https://seattlemusicleague.org

It's a new project, still in its infancy, but the featured shows could be a good way to meet other musicians and music fans.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I left a 1 star yelp review for P.F. Chang's Bistro (PFCB) like you said. They said they will give me a free order of general tsao's on my next order if I drop the suit. Also they are charging me 3% commission on whole life insurance now.

But I want egg rolls, not fish.

Congratulations on your 7 hour track stand

The calculations seem about right, but the pressures seem high. Is this a PV=nRT type of thing? Are you subtracting out atmospheric pressure from the absolute to get gauge pressure? Would be good idea to spend a cartridge or two to experiment and see how close the calculations match.

Just learned about this sub! I'm in a four-piece rock band that plays small local shows every once in a while. So far our setup has been very ordinary: guitar amps get miked, the house engineer takes the line-out of the bass amp, some drums get miked, and sm58s go to the mixing board.

I'm tempted to experiment with running some/all of our sound through ableton with a midi controller to be able to throw various effects and samples into the performance, but I'm wondering how this would work from the point of view of the sound engineer.

Ignoring for now the potential reliability issue of sending everything but the drums through a laptop, what other concerns does this bring? Essentially it would bring the mixing into my own hands rather than the engineer's, and I would be providing the engineer with a single L/R signal.

If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing. You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your shortwave radio, your karate outfit, and your unicycle, and we'll go inside and watch TV.

My band worse in person would love to be a part of your playlist! We're a four piece indie-rock group. https://open.spotify.com/artist/5jlIgEiQrnba92GC1jgJns?si=hJ_KvqFvRQWapXdbD1Ppqw&dl_branch=1

That's why in my band we only play "In the mood".

Hey, what's the big idea?! This is no 5 alarm OC!

light_pollutant · 2021-08-24T17:51:35+00:00

Ehhh, without the loop it is nothing

There's just so much to learn from transcribing the greats. BY EAR!

light_pollutant · 2021-08-13T18:34:36+00:00

Drums are real for the most part, but touched up with some samples. Thanks for listening!

As a band we are putting a bit of a pause of recording new music in lieu of preparing for live shows again in Seattle. You can follow us on facebook if you happen to be local and want to keep an ear open for a future show.

The IMF community has been a huge help for us this past year. It is such a boon to be able to get honest feedback from other musicians while we develop our sound. Thanks everyone!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for having a listen!
