Day 12. One of the greatest emcees of all time. And a staple of my youth. This album is definitely Harder Than You think!

So damn frustrated. I always end up doing like 6 different ones, and after you figure it out, then it’s time for your password reset

Has to be 9.5 characters, no special characters, no spaces, and cannot repeat a digit. Then you make it so complicated you have no shot of entering it again properly🤬

I didn’t know it was Costa Rican! That whole scene rips!

This looks like something I need

I think of metal logos like the captcha click on the picture that has a bike in it. You think you’re right, but nowhere close.

I was explaining to my kid yesterday, that even though her school is telling her, he DISCOVERED America, you can’t discover some shit, when people are already living there.

She agreed.

I have a theory called the OMC theory.

It’s when your album is so good, it automatically steals your attention. For example, I want to listen to RFO. But when I go to press play, somehow I subconsciously hit play on OMC. Every damn time.

No worries.

Here’s the problem with Baby Metal for me. It’s weird. I was stationed in Okinawa for a year and there was this amazing DJ arcade machine I liked. I liked the music it had. They sound like that to me.

It frustrates me every time I hear them.

There’s so much more on YouTube and Instagram.

On YouTube there’s Interviews, concert footage, and I put up a few new songs a week from different types of rock and metal, to hopefully give people a wide array to discover!

Thanks for your support, stay tuned…..

It shows the incompetence of the Agency’s leadership. They never told the front line guys, “these people can sue you”. You can sue both the agency and the individual.

You should check out @megabeardo.bsky.social solo EP from this year, Abscind. 4 instrumental songs, but with the efx (midi maybe) gives an 8 bit feel.

Not overdone so it doesn’t feel gimmicky. 🤘
