This is a good idea but one of two things happen when i sit down in front of a vst:
- it's too complex and overwhelming so i fiddle about a bit before closing it
- I have a tune in my head but by the time i figure out the baseline, it's degraded and i can't remember it

1) VSTs and big software instruments can be overwhelming. if you have the means, try something physical and relatively simple like a volca.
2) have the recorder going all the time. keep noodling. go back and listen to it and play along and see what comes out.

making 50 meh things is 100% more productive than 0 perfect things.

spent an hour or two just fooling with the presets and turning knobs from the preview version of analog lab V that came with my controller. soft glitchy chimes to score the end of the night.

it doesn’t have to be good and it doesn’t have to be for anyone but me, but it makes me happy. :unsmith:

this is a perspective as an outsider, but i think terf bullshit got much more entrenched in the uk because the thought leaders of second wave feminism got entrenched in the academy and thus were listened to in a way that never really happened in the us.

like the worst we had in the us on the gay side were dinguses like andrew sullivan, who thankfully no one has listened to in some time.

they’ve gotten expensive, like I used to hear that oh man chicken wings are a great deal!!!! and then at my grocery store they’re like $8/lb and i’m like are y’all living in 1995 or sth.

it is a little higher sure, inflation is doing it's magic, but fresh chicken wings in bulk are still 2ish dollars a lb near me.
prices vary nationwide for sure, though!

i've been hooked on this "the number ones" column in stereogum for the last few days, and saw this post right after reading about 9 to 5

One of the biggest hits at the 1980 box office was a bawdy screwball comedy that ends in a vision of a socialist, feminist workplace utopia. In 9 To 5, various sitcom-style hijinks lead three office-worker women to kidnap their harassing, belittling rear end in a top hat boss. They pretend that he’s away on a business trip, and they use his faked signature to put all sorts of pro-worker initiatives into place at their office. This — spoiler alert — leads to a happier and more productive workplace.

it takes a while to get going, once you get into the 70s the author has hit his stride, but this column is the most entertaining piece of pop criticism to come out in a decade.

yeah, i've been skipping songs or artists that i'm completely uninterested in, and have made it to 1981, which freaked me the gently caress out. that's the first year where every song on the list (except for "stars on 45", which doesn't count) is something i have a distinct memory of as a child

same.

the 70s are interesting just to see what actually peaked and the observations on album oriented rock vs. pop singles.

and all the songs where the past was a mistake.

is it okay to continue to like his songs with the made-up ladies as the backing band in the videos? i had always thought that was him making a sarcastic joke about what happens to women in show business, but i believe i've seen people suggesting it's actually bad

terrance donovan was a fashion photographer, and was styling the models in the mode of Patrick Nagel, and had made a name for himself posing models in front of incongruous backgrounds.

was it a joke? i don't think so. it certainly was an intentional artistic statement.

art is more complicated than THING BAD.

dollar general is not The $1 Store though. It's the place where you go to buy ten styrofoam plates for $1.15 because you can't buy the 50 pack for $1.99 at the real grocery. They are terrible, exploitative businesses that cloak their ripoffs in "low prices" but you are almost never getting a good deal.

it's expensive to be poor.

just looking a circular for my local dollar general, generic zyrtec is 9 dollars for 30 tablets.
i got a 365 tablet generic container at costco for something like 15 dollars.

but i would need a membership, have access to a car, and be able to drive the twenty minutes out to the suburbs to be able to experience the lower cost.
