the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

[Olin]

Finally made sense of the obtuse and frustrating MPC500 I have and have been having a ton of fun actually practicing the songs I want to be playing live, enough to actually start talking to promoters etc, kind of exciting to be starting from rock bottom again in a new country.

The deep depression wave seems to have lulled a bit too, I can sleep for more than three hours at a time now and don't feel atrabilious as fuck all the time. Whether it's just the eye of the storm or things are going back to the usual, tolerable moderate depression or not I don't know but I don't plan on questioning it too much.

^^^Glad to read you're doing better my friend . I fucking love that word "atrabilious"
Pertinent to your situation, and because I happen to be listening to this very album right now.

I have the day off with no plans and it feels awesome.

Same here dude.

I couldn't figure out why the fuck my Valve Jr produced no sound until I looked at the fuse holder thingies. The plastic connectors on one broke and no longer pressed the fuse against the contacts. Duct tape seems to be working temporarily.

If only my two other amps were such a simple fix... it's been soooo long since I could play through something that wasn't a shitty starter combo.

Holy shit Garrus Vakarian's VA reading Dr Seuss

finally went to see my doctor after feeling sickish for a month or so. no infection, no virus, just some congestion. apparently i'm actually rather healthy for once, if a bit underweight.

My dotters sleep in the same bed (4 and 2). I sleep on the trundle next to them. After 2 had woken up a dozen times, 4 heard me mutter ‘Jesus Christ 2. Go the fuck to sleep.’

‘Daddy, why’d you say a bad word?’

‘I didn’t. I said ‘duck.”

‘Oh. Ok. *snore.*’

Thanks, ILF!

Hehe. I remember the "go the fuck to sleep" days all to well.. quite recently. My boy now almost 6 sleeps like a boss. He wakes up early regardless .. but lucky for me I'm lame and go to bed at like 9..

just confirmed Street Sects for next month
releasing an EP/cassette with a zine a week before
booked HIDE a month after that.. my band will probably come out of our little hiatus with a new bassist and new jams for that one
we're cranking the amps tonight and will probably write a song incorporating my sv-1..I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A YEAR TO DO THIS..
feels GOOOOOD to let the creative juices flow

Cool man, how did the first show go ?

[BitchPudding]

my tax return is gonna be lit. Gonna have around 1600 to spend on gear exclusively. And cause me and my fiancee are terrible at keeping secrets from eachother, shes getting me a 0-coast just cause.

So WOOT, GEAR.

Helped with a benefit show last night headlined by Ty Segall. It was awesome, smooth, raised a bunch of money and Ty sounded great. I don't ever throw on his albums but live it was really fun!
