eBay: "hey wanna see some serious weirdo shit in the game controllers category"
Me: "uh, yeah, who do you even think you're talking to"

@JennyFluff@queer.af well yeah, it's not spelt a different way

glsl has the vibes of like one of those awful languages where they just added convenience features left and right without thinking about it, but because the domain is so narrow (you aren't like, writing applications in glsl) i think its actually Good and Cute

@Taweret@octodon.social i can barely even afford gas for my dragula!

@nev let the guitarist loose. if you don't have a guitarist then have your producer program a cool solo on the lead synth. fuck it, bass solo if you really want. this is a problem that has been solved. not every part of your song has to have the singer yapping over it

@chimerror just to be 100% clear who's talking, i'm white. if i was any whiter i'd be see-through. it is very much supposed to be a "get it together, us" type of sentiment

i had this thought because i was in a diner listening to the radio play some classic rock and i realized i couldn't think of any recent popular songs that had guitar solos in them

Show thread

@chimerror oh it's all good, i didnt express myself very well in the original post so i think it was an understandable reaction

@chimerror no, repetition is sick actually. on one end i am an unapologetic advocate for minimal and techno, and on the other hand Headhunters by herbie hancock is one of my all time favorite albums and it starts with one of the repeatingest tracks out there

to be clear, repetition of musical things in general is not bad. my grievance is with people who think mumford and sons is the freshest new sound in music singing the chorus ten times in a row because they can't envision music that doesn't center around their voice

Show thread

@chimerror okay but i think the repetition used by jazz is a different thing fundamentally than the repetition of the chorus way too many times in a pop song. if you're gonna do pop at least let a solo happen, i can only listen to an obnoxious british dude croon the same four bars about how hard his life is so many times in a row

i have long held that pop music repeats itself too often and i think ive realized why: it's because they're afraid of the solo. replaceable white men who sing would rather repeat the chorus eight thousand times than let the guitar do something awesome

One of the 22 or so remaining lesbian bars in the US burnt down recently, here in my adoptive hometown Tulsa, Oklahoma.

They were a super LGBT+ friendly space. Many of my trans lesbian friends loved that place. It would be devastating for the many patrons of the bar. I think something of cultural value would go away if it disappeared.

If you can spare a few bucks, give them some help to rebuild?
