"Your compositional voice is the realization of those little moments of dissatisfaction you have with the music of your heroes." -Chris Thile
I love that I was able to gather this wisdom today. I was just thinking about how I make the music I want to hear, & this crystallizes that idea beautifully.

I've been soaking up as much knowledge & as many secrets as I can find about how Bob Rock makes records. I've learned so much, but maybe the best part has been just going through his discography & discovering how every artist he records, whether they are big or small, sounds sonically incredible.

I had been using amp sim+cab sim for some time, but I just wasn't super happy with the tone, especially for recording. So recently I've been using just the cab sim into a preamp, and crunching it up with my pedals. Currently, I'm using the Golden Plexi II as my drive, then using a cleanish boost

I ordered a custom 12 foot bench press bar. It's 70lbs, and it has a 6 month turnaround time for delivery.
It's gonna be a long weight.

I'm also trying some new strings: a set of Pyramids. I had been using lighter gauge strings at the insistence of the guitar internet, but I wanted to go back to my preferred hybrid gauge setup. Thomann didn't have the Slinkies I wanted, but the .052 - .010 set is just what I wanted.

My guitar's wiring was about 15-20 years old, & some of the solder joints had cracked or disconnected. I was also ready for a new look, so this weekend I gave her a fresh coat of signal yellow & some new electronics. ☺️ This machine is (almost) ready to kill fascists again!

I can't believe I just live & walk around & do everyday things in a place where I barely speak the language . I can't believe I'm an immigrant. I never imagined it.
It's super hard, but I'm proud of myself.

I got an official medical record of my transition care from my PCP sent to my rheumatologist, who was treating me for Psoriatic Arthritis, so that they could both be on the same page. At my next visit, the rheumatologist lit into me, claiming it was "traumatic" for him to find out like that.
hey! question for fellow trans people especially:
what are the *worst things* that (cis) therapists / doctors / other such gatekeepers have said to you? in clinical settings etc.
signal boosting encouraged. i'm curious to hear your ... nightmare stories. you can also email me through my site ...

This made me remember *that time* an actual surgeon I was nearly going to get top surgery from was ...
1) drawing "boobs" on a paper towel as he spoke with me because he didn't have paper? or was too lazy to find some?
2) and had (it turned out) never performed a single top surgery before ...

Ironheart has terrible reviews because white people can't access the dialogue easily, it confronts them directly, & generally has nothing to do with them. Racism, basically.
It's a really fun show.
Tonally, it's a bit of Ms. Marvel & Falcon+Winter Soldier. Visually, more like Daredevil.
It's good.

Immigrating to a new country has been difficult for me, but I am working so hard on new music that I hope to have ready for release soon.

There's that moment in the rehearsal for the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert where Tony Iommi puts his arm around James Hetfield & says something in his ear. James looks at the camera with a small grin, but his eyes are filled with wonder, appreciation, satisfaction, joy, even tears, almost.
Magic.

I wouldn't say these things hurt MORE than my illness, but they are additional pains that aren't addressed at all by drugs or biologics, or treatable by surgery, & they don't come with the hope of "feeling better." Only 1 thing makes you feel less insane about it; knowing that others feel them, too.
