Let’s make 2020 the year

Hey check out the cover of this paper I saw in Milwaukee last night!

In, with a radioactive piano or two. (for this track: reverb impulse response recorded in Medical Unit 126 Concert Hall, level of gamma radiation: 0.71 μSv/h. Piano age: 2009. Not sure I recommend this plugin wholeheartedly tbh, it seems really buggy, but at least it sounds cool if you like the sou...

Woo, strong fight! I liked every single song here. But I felt like shouldn't vote for every single one of them, so my votes ultimately ended up being kind of capricious and based on emotional reaction more than quantifiable critique. Also, even though I wrote reviews in multiple sittings, my energy/...

I got promoted!!! Yay!

Congrats!!! I hope they heard a preview of your new track and you're now Director of Steel Drum Solos.

Ooh, I'm excited to hear some of those radioactive pianos. That plugin looked really cool. Also I went through a similar realization about keyboard sized. I had been using just a Akai LPK25, tiny 25-key keyboard for a long time but I eventually got frustrated with that and got a 49-key Korg microKE...

I also bought a ridiculous guitar . I saw this at my local guitar shop for $800, but this store has it for $300, I guess because nobody wanted to buy it haha. I feel weird about buying a guitar online, also IMO it's SO UGLY! But I feel like hopefully it will be quite fun for practicing at home and ...

I'll let you know what I think after I get my hands on it and have used it a bit! I looked at a few videos... some sounded awful, some sounded pretty nice.

Checkered Past miscellaneous owl So if I confess to a past Not as nice as my face might suggest Would you pass Or just laugh And cast it off The mask is gone I'm tired of pretending to be clean Why hide the ugliness of the places I've been? Yeah, same old story Met a guy online, said he adored me H...

Happy New Year! I guess it's not 2020 quite yet for a bunch of you though. (But already old news for a bunch of you too. How's the future?) All week I intended to go out and party to ring in the new decade, but we ended up doing absolutely nothing tonight. My husband and I went out for drinks and fr...

Haha thanks!

Hey can we sticky a link to jast's review-o-matic link or put one on the front page or something? Sorry if I'm not seeing it, I was hunting around looking for it just now so I feel like it's not ultra obvious.

Happy Hanukkah, y'all. Today's day 4/night 5. I'm almost out of latkes. I have mixed feelings about that.

Happy Hanukkah--and wait a minute do you traditionally get to eat latkes for 8 days straight (if you're not out of them)? That sounds amazing and way better than Christmas food.

Is not poisonous, will not kill you. A cassowary in the wild could kill you, and a magpie in spring may take a chunk of your skull, but in general Australian birds are not poisonous killers. They are also the best in general and one of the things I miss most. I assumed everything in Australia could...

We did our Christmas tradition practice take this year before the kid starts remembering stuff. Figured out traditions, protocols, in-law visits, etc. It turns out that celebrating St. Nick’s (on the 6th) as a mini-pre-Christmas is regional. I may have jumped the gun on my excitement about him bein...

Look at how adorable Australian robins are though.

what?!?! They're hot pink! And spherical! SO cute!
Are they poisonous? Can they kill you?

Merry Christmas, everyone! This year is a low-key one for us--no travel. Madison is also very warm right now for this time of year (52F/11C). It's my husband's birthday today, but I didn't finish making his present in time, so he's gone to a friend's house for a few hours while I finish it up (I'm s...

If you've ever wanted the sound of radioactive pianos sampled directly from instruments found at Pripyat decades after Chernobyl, or the sound of pianos being burned and shot with crossbows , or the sound of a flute made from a human thighbone , you're in luck--all those VSTs are on sale till Jan 6.

Congrats Toshiro! I never actually got around to writing up reviews or voting, sorry, but I did at least listen to everyone's a couple of times

aka 107 degrees F? Holy hell. Stay safe!

Learning new things, or relearning them, is good though!

Amen! Is this one going to be your first solo submission then? Or did you and PFJ end up collabing after all?

We moved in November to Neenah, just south of Appleton. A little farther from Madison but still a doable drive for the right occasion. :) Although we will be a family of four literally any day now so........... Oh nice, isn't that closer to work for you? Well congrats on the move and your wife's ne...
