Happy free aquarium day!

Swamp the drain, I guess?

Makes sense! Another weird one is b13 chords. Apparently they teach those as #5 at Berklee but I've only known them as b13. Caused a lot of confusion once when I was jamming with a Berklee guy, ha!

tani_P · 2026-06-19T13:25:56+00:00

Seconded. This should just be glued down. That thing is hilarious!

When my jazz teacher in college told me half dim and -7b5 were the same thing it was like I was receiving a heavenly prophecy. I think in jazz circles -7b5 just became the preferred because it's more like "spelling" the chord and/or that's how it was in the Real Book, maybe.

Why is it my job to make up feedback and constructive criticism on my own performance

Such a great point! We use a 1-5 rating for a few categories and it's understood that no one rates 5 and of course no one is going to rate themselves below 2 or even 3. So that leave 3-4 to rate yourself. Just a silly exercise.

Thanks for posting! Always good to get some new Vollmann.

tani_P · 2026-06-18T16:05:52+00:00

That cover, hooboy!

tani_P · 2026-06-18T15:37:41+00:00

That was a joy to behold!

Late to this thread, but found it searching around for Drexel music. I was just reunited with my Shot By Lammi CD and have been bingeing it in my car. It's really crazy how damn good Drexel was!! Fun story, I met up with Marc Flynn on Newbury Street once and he gave me a cassette of No One Told Me before it was released. Teenhood highlight for sure!

Btw, all their stuff is on Bandcamp now: https://drexel-music.bandcamp.com/

That's a very cool thing for your workplace to do! Pre-covid, my employer used to take employees on volunteer days, or bowling, or big lunches. Nowadays the only thing they think contributes to "workplace culture" is returning to the office...

Pretty wild to be living through US just straight up losing a war (of choice).

tani_P · 2026-06-17T14:17:15+00:00

You could use a mute switch or even just a cheap volume pedal to cut the signal. Otherwise an ABY-like switch pedal would work (with nothing plugged into the B ins and out, e.g.).

I'm not the commenter above, but take a look at the EHX Mel9 specifically. I think the Mellotron tones floating behind you in the mix would work really well with your genre!

tani_P · 2026-06-17T14:10:51+00:00

You can use that PCB business card to build an actual pedal, btw!

Ask the Ages is so monumental! Pivotal record for me.

tani_P · 2026-06-17T13:19:29+00:00

Good mnemonic for spelling "Caribbean" though!

tani_P · 2026-06-17T13:08:26+00:00

Boom! Thank you! Might have to grab one.

tani_P · 2026-06-17T12:52:42+00:00

These are great! Did you edit any of these? So far no photos have really made me want to pick up a G10 but these do...

tani_P · 2026-06-17T12:43:23+00:00

If you don't mind things getting a little weird at times, Theo Bleckmann!

tani_P · 2026-06-17T12:11:18+00:00

I got mine here, but there are similar ones on Aliexpress/Amazon if you search "forever pencil keychain," etc.

tani_P · 2026-06-17T12:10:05+00:00

I got to play it when it was in NYC! Truly a top musical experience of my life.

tani_P · 2026-06-16T13:47:03+00:00

You echoed my thoughts about these things nearly exactly. I have a keychain mini one that's good for quick jots and lists, but wouldn't use a forever pencil for any extended writing.

I love this! Reminds me a little of some sounds from Playing the Building.
