The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

Been thinking a lot about having my amp serviced and getting new tubes, since it's getting a little funky with noise and occasional crackling and an LED not lighting up (which isn't a big problem but it is annoying), and I figure replacing the tubes after 5 years of the same ones is bound to improved the sound. Gonna cost me at least £50 just for the tubes though. Silly expensive outdated amplifier parts. Definitely puts me off getting a big amp...

[skullservant]

I just need ONE thing to sell to not feel bad about the purchase I'll be making this weekend. Come on B/S/T!

hnnnggggg someone on Talkbass just listed the same amp I'm about to list, so now I have to undercut him and prolly get whined at. Oh well. Mine is better because fuzz was run through it.

advertise it as "well broken in and well-maintained"

Got a record today.
<whinge>
It's missing the bonus cd--the only way I'm going to get a decent quality digital copy (contacted customer service about this, but they got fucked by Sandy so I doubt I'll get a quick response).
The first disc is warped, not enough to warrant a return, but enough to fuck with the first sounds you hear.
Then the left channel on my stereo died, so I have to listen to everything in mono until I fix it.
My treasured micro-verb kicked the bucket as well.
I'm going through one of those, "I feel like all the music I make is shit," phases

I've been going through this a lot. I just spend those days focusing on technique and not trying to make music, per se. I find that maybe I'm a better (or more harsh?) critic of my technique then, and I find more ways to improve than if I was focusing on creating.

[Achtane]

I spend those days doing everything with gear except actually playing it. I have a lot of those days...
And hey, you made me finally look up "whinge" to discover that it's a real word and not just how people on the Internet write "whine".

Rediscovering how to be alone and not in a committed relationship really fucking sucks. I feel like I don't have anyone to really talk to about anything anymore. There's my friends, but I dunno if any of them understand me the way my girlfriend did. But then, she also fucked with that too, in the end...

I am going between feeling absolutely miserable and and feeling confident every few hours. I am sure when I get back into my own place (I left while I waited for my gf to move out) it is going to hurt even more. That's a big bed to fill...

I. AM. SO. THERE. despite the fact that Kimmie has been gone more than a year now, i'm still utterly lost. add the fact that i'm now 2400 miles from everything and everyone i've been close to for the last 30 years, and picture my desolation. i have nobody to talk with at all except my one dearest friend who's in California, 2/3 of a continent away. today was the first time i caught up with myself from the madness that's encompassed my life since September that i could get fully into weepy/depressed mode. not that this was a good thing in any sense other than feeling familiar to me in a place where nothing is familiar. i'm back to asking God to take me home while i'm falling asleep at night again, and don't know how to get out of it. i'm also so dead broke that i'm going to have to sell CDs as well as trying to flog the blue Stratocaster just so i can have money to put gas in the truck and pay for my medication. i'm about in the mood to make a Richard Lloyd-style "PLEASE KILL ME" t-shirt and go for a walk in the ghetto.

[dubkitty]

and i can't afford to buy any weed, and drinking will just make me more miserable. i haven't even played the guitar except for ten minutes unplugged since i got here because there's no room to set up the pedalboards.

Mitch Lucker? Or who?!

Rediscovering how to be alone and not in a committed relationship really fucking sucks.

I, too, am in bummed-out-single-ville. Although mine is different. So after a LOOOONG dry spell, my only possible lead (I think...) seems to have been spoiled by someone else taking her away at MY OWN DAMN SHOW. There was some brutal/angry drone that night..... I was actually concerned for a second that I had pounded my guitar with my fist too hard!

Oh, emotions.....sigh.

[dubkitty]

I really want to get rid of my emotions. i'd way prefer to feel nothing at all than feel shit 90% of the time and halfway-like 10% or less. if i had Howard Hughes' fortune i would totally spend the rest of my life taking heroin and watching other peoples' concert films.

[GardenoftheDead]

Between contributing to two kickstarters, donating $20 to Red Cross for hurricane relief, donating $35 dollars to the HRC so Brad Pitt would match it, and spending $25 on the deluxe Nocturnal Poisoning package, I'm astounded how quickly I blow through $100 when I tell myself I'm not gonna spend money for a while.

[goosekevin]

i had my appendix out and have to have 12 days off school which really fucking sucks as i was behind anyway and have exams coming up
