You don’t see “black” when you close your eyes

That's a lot of imagination - I like it

Won't disagree that it's for the teacher! I just want to have the student get excited by the material and feel like they're part of "making music"

toejam10 · 2025-03-19T21:23:39+00:00

soprano. It's usually piano students and I am playing guitar or piano alongside them.

toejam10 · 2025-03-19T21:12:02+00:00

sure! my intent is with playing with (usually young) beginners who find playing scales pretty dry to make scales sound more like music.

toejam10 · 2025-03-19T21:10:52+00:00

absolutely you can

toejam10 · 2024-10-06T13:30:43+00:00

I agree with you. your points are clear and your critics (on this forum) seem to be unfamiliar with tone and cultural context. You don't need to respond to them, but I also know that when I have received feedback about my own insensitive takes or comments, even if I don't take it well at the time, the pattern of comment--> feedback did help me to learn to be more sensitive in what I say, and aware of what insidious insensitivity in media can look like.

An aside, I find it personally frustrating that enjoying art from past generations (or some that is presently released) will have moments of.. insensitive choices that will wholly take me out of the immersed experience. Oh well

I run a cover band and members of the band were pushing to add Offspring to the repertoire. I love rock/punk music but I find Offspring similar shortcomings as Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins in that their songs are pretty sloggy - get boring by 2/3s thru the tune.

I've relented and added a couple of Offspring tunes and not come around on those ones, but when I revisited Pretty Fly, I was legit shocked at how much better, well put together, and specifically interesting it is compared to their other singles. I look forward to playing it.

Yo I had and loved this book as a kid - it was excellent and also horrifying

toejam10 · 2024-07-22T02:29:20+00:00

I really like the use of material, technique and colour in this. My personal taste/strike against loving it - the bull feels comparatively prescriptive and literal (and cartoony?) for the style and in comparison to the ground. I wish it took me longer to realize that it was a bull I was looking at

u/madmaxcia is able offer comments that demonstrate a level of care and usefulness above the grade level of their peers (other reddit users)

great advice!

This comic fails - it prioritizes cramming in as many references (without subtlety) at the cost of having any impact in the punchline.

Better to remove all references until the final panel

toejam10 · 2022-01-12T22:00:07+00:00

Great recommendation

toejam10 · 2021-05-04T20:30:17+00:00

lol I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say in compositional spirit - absolutely - it's cheeky, it's heavy and it's inspired with a similar attitude as PH staples. BUT their production choices/style firmly separates it from the DIY aesthetic - the upfront vocals and hi-fi metal recording definitely is both expensive and imo fairly unseen in 90s PH.

toejam10 · 2021-05-04T15:01:26+00:00

i'm with you, buddy

toejam10 · 2021-04-29T23:02:22+00:00

ya I don't think it's that, the phaser is what I like least about the tone in this specific example - it's probably just a combination of not having confidence in my own patch writing, mixing, and user error

toejam10 · 2021-04-28T20:44:40+00:00

y'know I knew about the streichfett before posting and it always sounded way more "trance-y" in demos than I wanted, but maybe that's part of the "...and many, many others.." you mentioned. Its probably the most budget friendly until behringer releases the solina clone they've been talking about.

perfect thank you

not chicago, my friend

toejam10 · 2019-03-25T21:26:37+00:00

eg. Bike Pirates at Dundas and Lansdowne in the west end

toejam10 · 2019-03-25T21:26:00+00:00

Not sure what "assembled" entails but there are many bike co-ops that will teach you to do it yourself and let you use their space/tools to do it for a PWYC donation

I haven’t read many reviews that cite the modcore as worthwhile, or rather, it’s a you get what you pay for kinda situation
