Everyone looking after themselves? I started a new workout routine and I’ve quit smoking (mostly) and it’s really helped.

Hope everyone is okay wherever you are!!

      Bit of everything, I can’t quite decide what I want and I need a co-writer to keep me focused (ADHD n’ all that) so I’m usually bound by my friends tastes as well.

      Recently I’m torn between atmospheric black metal/Punk and post rock but then completely different i’d love to do Breakcore but I lack the analogue synths 😭

      So like Svalbard, Russian Circles, God Speed You Black Emperor for the first and I’m still a little obsessed with Venetian Snares but I’m still new to the genre as a whole.

      Scraps and scraps of unfinished songs 😭

      I’ve been listening to some of your stuff as well actually, Cowboy Dan hahaha I liked it 😊

        That sounds awesome! I’m not very familiar with the genres or the artists but I’d love to listen if you have any up anywhere! Definitely not as much breadth as analog but a pirated copy of a DAW often has pretty fun synths to play with 😉

        Unfinished songs are fun sometimes to revisit years later! A new perspective can help break the gridlock and provide something you didn’t have when you first started it! Plus snippets are just fun to splurge relisten to once a blue moon.

        And wow thank you so much!!! It’s a cover of a Modest Mouse song, old Modest Mouse is one of my favorites. I’m currently working on an animation for a trapmetal song I made called “American Idol,” I’ll definitely be posting it on Lemmygrad when it’s done as it’s my attempt at making communist radicalizing music that isn’t too on-the-nose without being watered down. Thank you so much for any and all listens, I really super appreciate it. Like I said hmu with any of your music, I’d love to listen!

          Hahaha I might have to give that a look!

          Ermm examples, I’d love to do music of any of the following genres or something new inspired by one or two:

          Venetian Snares - Frictional Nevada https://youtu.be/kk2Cq1dgKHY

          Svalbard - Open Wound https://youtu.be/8CGhEr4iXFM

          Russian Circles - young blood https://youtu.be/4mF5TuWTro4

          Russian Circles - Carpe https://youtu.be/mzYW1pY3hFA

          Godspeedyoublackemperor - East Hastings (shared the live version cos it’s really good) https://youtu.be/5gmxBRkQd70

          Birdmask - Halcyon https://youtu.be/wvqD0xGMmpI

          Yeah I know what you mean, it’s finding a way to repurpose them I find is difficult because once an ides sets in I’m like “oh well this is that now” haha.

          Awhw no way! I enjoyed it, I had The Breakout album on as well, it’s got a hook/vibe I can’t articulate myself but I like it 🥰 it’s the eclectic vibe, I like alternative stuff more than traditional takes on music 9 times out of 10. Is it all you then so like vocals and the production etc?
