damn!

jammin the policenauts jazz album

i love it when stores tell you something is used - mint and it turns out it was new and theyre just blowing it out without violating MAP pricing. Anyway, i got a cute little Yamaha Reface YC to match my cute little Yamaha Reface DX. Someday i'd love to snag a cute little Reface CS.

I bought a 100$ 4-string bass for some reason. Would I recommend it? Not if you don't have a way to level and crown frets. It plays pretty decent now tho. First time having a bass with fewer than 5 strings in a decade and a half

Another pic of us.

Found out today that my lil bestie passed away last month. I didnt get to see him before he passed, unfortunately. See you on the other side, buddy.

If i had a nickel for every time tshirt of a band i was in appeared on tv, i'd have two nickels, etc

Was just going thru my photos and found this picture I took in Chicago of an arcade cabinet of SNKs Guerrilla War. Apropos of nothing, happy Saturday!

realizing my favorite new guitar glows like the sun under black/blue lights. its so fuckin cool:

My Yamaha TRB6, it was made in 1994. I've owned it since 2014:

Absolutely losing it over how we ended up in the death metal AOTY thanks list. YOU GOTTA EARN MIST IRON

Twenty years ago I owned multiple Steve Vai signature guitars

how to make an offensively yellow guitar more offensive

Fun fact: this was initially the unofficial Alex Skolnick model in 1989-1990

I decided I wasn't using my fretless enough so I decided to get rid of it to fund getting a guitar to use on stage in a band I'm going to playing guitar in live. I wanted to get the Ibanez 540P reissue in nuclear powered desert sun yellow. It just got here today and it hurts my eyes. I love it.

It came from Japan music score!

I just discovered that the Doom Metal band Confessor played a show at a water park in Houston back in the 80s, and its so unhinged. These dudes just playing the most absurd half speed watchtower sounding music wearing short shorts in the middle of the day with people watching from yellow lawnchairs

this controller lets you set a custom splash screen so i had to put Mio Kisaragi from Tokimeki Memorial on it :)

that didnt stop me from picking up this NGCD reissue controller from 8bitdo for 20$ last weekend in chicago tho:

Maybe its cause when i got seriously into fighters by playing CPS2/Neo Geo roms in the late 90s on a keyboard, trying a leverless joystick for the first time feels instantly more natural than either a fight pad or a arcade stick

Re-Applied the racing stripe to the djent stick:

Why we were in Vancouver with owlbear this past weekend:

Fighting the existential dread by restringing and setting up my NG2

listening to some albums i havent listened to in quite a while

Fresh AM Jams This is actually a Korean pressing of the album that has a second CD featuring a live cover set with Leda from Deluhi/BabyMetal on second guitar. The track listing is great, and it's a fabulous workout playlist.

Set up the cute little hifi system i had in my living room in bedroom so i can more intentionally listen to all the CDs and stuff i have. Figured i should test it out with the Sen No Kiseki Super Arrange soundtrack i got recently ^^

Wait I've seen this one before

I do :)
