Visited my old home of St Pete, FL and left very sad. Completely unrecognizable from 10 years ago. The punks are gone, the magic completely empty. Whitewashed corpo condos and fast casual chains line Central Ave. An example in how NOT to grow as a city.

Asheville, where every possible food option in town closes at 8pm. If someone wants to open a late-night döner kebab place here you'll make millions.

Asheville, where all the good restaurants close because the rent's too high or they get natural disastered to death.

Reminder: if you're mixing a punk band, they are supposed to sound dangerous and angsty. Nothing ruins the vibe of a punk band more than cleanly sampled drum shells, neat cymbals, kemper guitar sounds, etc. Let it be fucked up, or you're just making imitation Blink 182.

Building some more wall absorbers. Cutting the sides out for more exposed absorption area and leaving a 1" air gap at the rear.

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.
Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. -

If your business uses AI I'll never patronize it. If you use AI to create art I'll never support it.
Stop acting like computers are actually thinking and speaking and creating things organically. They are not. What was once a fun little magic trick is becoming a nefarious end to human enslavement.

Hey Democrats, let's see the same energy to bring home Mahmoud Khalil that you're putting on display for Kilmar Garcia. Neither of them committed any crime or immigration violation.
Oh wait. One of those men spoke up for Palestine.

Helheim is the most underrated and underappreciated band in black metal. 30+ years of rolling out completely original heartfelt bangers, and their most recent album is one of their best in a catalog full of classics.

I'm thinking of hosting a small-group drum recording workshop at my studio in Asheville, and possibly other themed recording workshops in the future if there seems to be interest. Topics covered would include setup/tuning, mic technique, tracking workflow, artist interactions, and probably way more.

I'm going to say it again: The White Lotus is the worst show on TV and it's not even close.

Silo, Severance, and The Studio are the three best shows I've seen in years, and they're all on one network.
I'm not going to defend Apple and their broad business practices, but at least they are bankrolling legitimate art for us to enjoy.

Really struggling with the whole "my country is actively and proudly committing war crimes" thing today.
Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

It's completely useless to judge a mic preamp against another when you omit the greater musical context. Just one reason of many why audio YouTubers are largely a complete joke.

So Democrats are fine with bombing Yemen but draw the line at texting the plans to an ex-IDF prison guard turned pro-war propagandist. Cool.

Every day in America is a new carnival of horrors worse than the last, and this is by design. Authoritarians mean to overwhelm people with the news of their domestic and foreign atrocities, soothing public disgust daily with a fresh outrage.
Don't forget what happened on any of these yesterdays.

America is ruled by religious zealots on both sides of the aisle. I'm sickened beyond words by the depravity of this supremacist logic. Fuck this.
There isn't peace because religious nutjobs want to claim land for themselves alone and will kill innocents for it.
"Of course, we say it’s our land [Israel], the Torah says it, but they don’t believe in the Torah. So that’s the reason there is not peace." -Chuck Schumer, AIPAC speech, March 2018

My band Mo'ynoq just dropped a new single that I had a heavy hand in writing, and was responsible for recording and mixing. FFO blast beats, frostbite, tremolo riffs, and shreddy solos.
