ILFSS '15 Wishlist Thread

[phantasmagorovich]

I might be buying something for my birthday if my bst goes well. But that will be in the next couple of days, so just stalk some more before you buy and you'll be fine. Not buying anything after my b-day.

[oscillateur]

For me :

- Vegetarian, so no dead animals parts, please. I do love cheese (can't fight your genes), dark chocolate and beer. And I'm ok with trying almost anything I can eat that is vegetarian.

- Medium size in most parts of the world (sometimes S for american brands that size big).

- I mostly play electronic instruments (tends to be my eurorack modular lately but I have a long-standing relationship with my Casio SK1) but I do have a bass and a guitar that do not get the love they deserve. I still use some pedals with the modular and I'm planning to make a small bass-oriented board for the stringy things. I tend to prefer things that allow me to slowly morph from uneffected sound to whatever the pedal does while I'm playing, and I'm usually not really into stuff that's too harsh/noisy (though there might be exceptions). I also have a limited amount of physical space for my music things so I tend to prefer stuff that's not too big (and I already feel a bit guilty that my computer + music desk is much bigger than my wife's...).

Examples of what I do :




If someone needs to stalk me more efficiently, I've been using the same name online for ages and I've got more posts than I have here at Muffwiggler...

[untilshewokeme]

Shirts: Men's Large

Food: No allergies

Gear: As long as its bass friendly. I've posted my pedalboard not too long ago. What I am looking for? Still experimenting with ODs, Trems, and weird/interesting things, and of course fuzz.

Music: A like everything from doom to to '60s Stones/folk to hip hop to hardcore

Books: Non fiction stuff. Always like learning about new shit. Weird shit is cool too.

[Twangasaurus]

Shirts: Don't buy me clothes. I'm in the middle of losing weight so who knows what size I will be but the end of the year and again soon after that.

Food: Like I said I'm trying to lose weight so preferably something cool I can cook with? Got a favorite preserve, hot sauce, weird sauce that I haven't heard of that isn't hot, instant bastardized version of some curry you stole from a colony your country used to own? Gimme (accompanying recipe(s) would also be cool). Also tea. Also booze of the whisky (no bourbon unless it doesn't taste like bourbon), gin or beer variety.

Music: I listen to pretty much everything. No vinyl pls. In fact if you could do digital that is preferable because of a general lack of space in my living situation right now.

Pedals: Concerning dirt, anything is cool as long as it isn't rat-or-muff-esque and sounds good on bass. Mod and verb is currently handled by source audio so anything that those boxes don't do is cool. Also, not a possessed. Gots a sexy one already.

Books: I'll read weird shit, fantasy, sci-fi, crime, horror, non-fiction (historical, science, whatever) but if you send me some book about a genius painting elephant that gets tried in the hague while everyone screams "NO INJUSTICE FOR PAINTING ELEPHANTS" while in tears or anything remotely similar to anything Tim Winton has ever written I will be forced to become a ghost and live inside your appliances burning all your food. Pretty much if it's on your mums book club list I don't want it. Also, I use a kindle (again with the space thing, gave all my hard copies away) so if you just want to steal all your favorite books from the interwebs and stick them on a drive I totally won't judge. Comics are hard because I buy so many so perhaps avoid.

Other: ?...?...?...!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. Apologies to my stalker for being such a pain.

[Iommic Pope]

"TIm WInton"

Priceless.

[oscillateur]

Oh yeah, forgot a few things.

Music : I like many things, from pop (Blur, Sonic Youth, etc.) to minimal/noisy electronic (Pan Sonic, Ryoji Ikeda, etc.). Recent things I really like : Tim Hecker, Ben Frost, Fuck Buttons. Not a fan of metal unless it has no guitar solos and high-pitched voices.

Books : I also use a kindle. I tend to follow Warren Ellis' recommendations for new books to read these days.

[bronzetalon]

I have really pared down my effect list as of late. Literally have some fuzz (frazz and doom bloom) and a sunny day delay.

Play mostly bass now. I'm in a metal band that's really minimal. Also have a duo project with a drummer that's starting to take off. (<--- this is where im going to use more effects)

Not afraid of noise boxes or weird shit.

Wear a L-XL

I weight lift

Love all food

Hope this helps since I haven't been super active this year

[rustywire]

Here's my cheat sheet.

Shirt size Medium: No synthetic fabrics pls. Prefer deep, dark colors.
Snax: No sweets pls...cept maybe dark choc. I'm the pickiest eater ever and avoid artificial, chemical, shelf-stabilized, gmo and most cash crops.

Points of interest...?
Music: Lately been getting into fuzzed out, melodic psychedelia and funk type shiz from around the world; 1960s, 70s mostly. Obscure, popular. Records & tapes. 60 & 90 min Blank cassettes (type 2 high bias, TDK & Sony also Maxell)
VHS video tapes esp of obscure/uncensored 30s-80s animation & stuff that never made it to DVD.
Books etc: The Infinity War graphic novel (already have The Infinity Gauntlet), original AKIRA comics (already have #9) & THE MAXX gfx novels (already have book #4)

Have not tried any of the following early-mid 80s pedals but always watch them on websites:
DS-1, DM-3, HF-2, RAT
Other random pedal temptations I haven't tried & admire from afar:
CT5, Super Duper 2 in 1 (painted), Mini, Fuck, Tonebender mk2 pro




Edit: Didn't think to mention it because...everyone likes stickers...myself included.

[ThurberMingus]

I'm definitely trying to slow down on pedal purchases until Satan is over. But got damn is it hard. Plus I have a little money in my PayPal that is just eating me up.

But! It's for my stalk-ee. I gotta save money and buy gear for stalk-ee. This is gonna be a long one y'all.

[oldangelmidnight]

I've been idly longing for a decent modulation pedal lately. Chorus or flanger or something weird. I'm not really into phasers, though.
I like DIY and glitchy, unpredictable stuff.

I'm not a meat eater. I like uncommon local snax and alcohols.

Every morning, my daughter and I listen to records during breakfast. I have the collection organized chronologically. I'm pretty full up on classic rock but have plenty of room for '60s jazz and anything interesting from the '90s or '00s.
I listen to CDs in the car.

I like reading all sorts of comics, music biographies, anthologies, and collections of essays. As long as it's good...


Here's the collection, as it stands:

NSFW: show

Mystery pedals: Tomkat Octave Ripper; SSBS Fuck; Dwarfcraft HotDog, Great Destroyer; Wayhuge Fat Sandwich; Devi GZ, ZG, SM; Roctave Divider; Pitch Pirate; Hawk/Mini; Foxx Tone Machine; Random Tremolo; Rat; Red LLama; Mushroom Echo; Fuzz Factory)

[behndy]

love reading everybody's List Of Interests. NEAT.

i'll post a real one later. out and abouts.

[kbit]

That LaoWiz stash is so droolworthy.

Not really an alcohol person

its ok bb everyone makes mistakes.

Not my kind of mistakes

Nah but actually I just get a headache after 1-2 drinks.
But I won't get a headache if I drink (objectively) too much.
I think it might be psychosomatic

[odontophobia]

what kind of gear do i like: i really like BAT but I'm just wrapped up into the "doom" culture some times. I like weird stuff a lot. Noise makers are cool. Synthy noisemakers are cool. Non-guitar items are cool. Drone things are cool. I think flangers are cool and I don't own one. reverb and delay, weird reverb and delay, are cool af. I don't actually have a preference for anything, really. I like stalking and gift giving more than receiving.

collection:
pedals; BAT coven, fuzzrocious demon king, eqd arrows, blackout whetstone, blackout cadavernous reverb, eqd dispatch master, eqd rainbow machine, tc electronics flashback x4, abominable effects unholy grail delay, infanem 141g, korg pitchblack tuner
guitars; i mostly play fender stuff. i have a prs baritone but i really don't know if i'll keep it.
amps; redbear mk60 and carvin x100b and an old peavey bass head that rules
cabs; peavey 2x15 that is due for a speaker upgrade, avatar 2x12 with swamp things and avatar 4x10 with ragin' cajuns

shirt size: medium, i'm 5'9" and around 170 because i live in a city full of beer. i'd probably send jwar dick pics for dietary advice.

stuff i like: i like heavy music a lot. i hang in the doom room a lot but like many there i'm not limited to doom. i like ambient and heavy, fast and heavy, shreddy and heavy. here's a list of bands i saw live this year (or will see live) to give some idea: swans, the melvins, kylesa, pallbearer, converge, at the gates, corrosion of conformity, inter arma, the sword, royal thunder, windhand, death from above 1979. probably missing a whole bunch in there but those are some notable ones. lately i've listened to a lot of the elder scrolls OST. currently listening to ryan adam's taylor swift cover album and it's pretty cool.



i also like coffee a lot. sweets are cool but i think i like savory more. i would almost always take potato chips over cake. i scrape the frosting off of cake. i like spicy a lot. i like pizza a lot. i have no dietary concerns. i'm only partially adventurous. somebody mentioned bugs. don't think i'll eat bugs. i like dogs. i have a pit-mix named lucy. so i guess i tend to like "pitbull" related items that are hip/kitschy without being too hip/kitschy. i use iOS for my phone. i use windows for my computing. i play some games. i like RPGs a lot. loved most final fantasy games. playing a lot of elder scrolls lately. use steam. user name is: itsfuntodobadthings

my user name on instagram is odontophobia but i haven't been overly active there lately. i'm on facebook but i think my profile is private and adding me could give you away. but don't worry i don't post anything there.

[coldbrightsunlight]

Right here we go.

Shirt size - Small/Medium (mens), but I have a lot of shirts so other clothes might be cooler instead (but if you give me a great tshirt I will love and treasure it!!). I have UK10 size feet and love nice socks for example.

Gear: I will mention I'm waiting on a custom delay/tremolo so probably wouldn't want more of those. Otherwise, stalk me and see what sort of things I like/have/drool over. I like recording too.

Food: I'm allergic to gluten, but otherwise zero restrictions. Love tea and coffee. Love trying new things.

Music: Again, I talk about music a bunch on here so I'm pretty stalkable, but I like all sorts. I love finding new stuff I've never heard of before.

Books: Big on scifi and non-subgenre fiction.

Non-music interests include running, knitting, cycling, hiking, cooking, drinking.

Don't want to make this too easy though. Surprise me!
