Monthly music roundup. Bunch of old favorites, two vaguely new, and on new release.

I'm sorry, getting a late start on #nonsensenovember. I'm going to try to post some new art nonsense this month. Might be 2D, 3D, auditory. Who knows.

WELL, SHE DIDN'T?!

Made an amazing/awful discovery: Taco John's has Mexi Rolls and Apple Grande again. This will be my downfall...for a limited time.

Typical.

Nothing scarier than seeing a "transparent PNG" with the "transparent" baked into the background.

🤦🏻‍♂️

I etched this EQD Arrows boost clone a few months ago. Finally got around to soldering the bits and bobs on. Yes, it looks like hot garbage, but it's my hot garbage. Not looking forward to the off board wiring. I already took my melatonin and it's past my bed time. I'll do it tomorrow.

This is just me complaining but why are latching single pole dual throw on-on footswitches like four or five times the price of a 3PDT? I'll just use half of a DPDT because they're at least cheaper.

Also, I don't want to pay $10-20K for a "real" Alembic Series one. I want something I can play punk and doom on, beat around on.

got to doodle on a future custom bass idea. I want an Alembic Series 1, but not a small body style, more like the size of a Grabber, but 34"+ scale, with double P pickups, and an aluminum neck with a 2x2 headstock. I want all the inconvenience of having an XLR jack so no one wants to borrow it.

I had to look that up. Now I have to find it and watch it.

Moments from falling asleep last night and my ears popped. I could now hear everything in the house. It was L O U D. And I was out of melatonin.

Y'all bless this ultra peachy keen Monster and the maybe four hours of sleep I got last night to keep me going today.

Anyone missing discs 5-8 of their still sealed Windows version 3.11 install floppies? They're at my house for some reason.

13 pedals, 38 knobs, 5 switches, 16 foot switches, and there's at least six more that didn't make it on this revision.

I'm not a knife guy, they're just tools to me.

nshanemartin.com @nshanemartin.bsky.social · 6d

Hey Shane, what knife are you carrying these days? Well, for the last year it's been this Ganzo G720. Last week I switched to my Leatherman Raptor Rescue. Yes. it's nearly 5x the price but it has 5x the functions and doesn't freak out office workers like when you flip out a big knife.

At first I was like "Private Branch eXchange" but then I saw Dugan and it made so much sense.

Modding is going terribly. I don't have pots in small enough values. And I'm missing some resistors in values I didn't plan on. Yes, I can just wire them in series.
