The Confessions Thread

[tuffteef]

Man, dental problems are a huge fear for me. Ive developed a bad clenching/grinding habit over the past couple years and its causing me all sorts of problems. My mouth is always in some kind of pain, usually just a sore jaw from clenching at night, sometimes I feel like I've been punched in the face. I worry that maybe I have an abscess or my teeth are going to fall out. Being a smoker doesn't help either.

i need to go to the dentist cat cause i can taste blood all day

[goosekevin]

i started thinking about jeff buckley and crying tonight

[dubkitty]

i don't seem to enjoy playing the guitar any more except when i do loops. i only hear bad notes and mistakes and not fitting in, even when other people are enthusiastic about my playing.

[D.o.S.]

Pretty sure that's everybody's reaction to their own playing, Dub.

Hendrix once asked Eddie Kramer if Leslie West was a better guitarist, after all.

[dubkitty]

it's more extreme when i play with other people. and some of it is my depression, which makes anything taste slightly off. but it troubles me, because i used to love to play and sing with other people. my voice is fucked up now, and i feel really bizarre singing. i don't even recognize my own voice any more.

[Ugly Nora]

Everyone's voice sounds different on tape.

[tuffteef]

People be all whoa I know what I want to do with my life/ have jobs / hobbies they love doing. I hope to have that one day settling for a job that just pays the bills seems depressing. Unsure if I'm good enough at anything to persue it as a form of employment passionately but guess I have plenty of time to try. Still terrifying I just want to worry about getting tattoos and guitars and music stuff and ladies and eating spicy food and nice coffee and ocassionally smoking weed. Sighs.

same.

But my confession is that I might be working for a bank this summer. This switch from all-phyiscal work to all-mental work is weird.

My friend had an amp simulator on his computer that I've used a couple times, & I gotta say it sound pretty awesome. Thinking about converting....

[Chankgeez]

I've never played guitar. In fact, I really don't even know what a guitar is. I've been bluffing this whole time.

FWIW, I just use a Zoom G3 and Reason 7. No ragrets. Just kinda miss playing loud with people, but that's whatever.

[kbit]

Yeah I do wish I could play loud (and not worry about my stereo speakers) but after I move from my current apartment it wont be very feesable. No more deaf neighbors. Maybe I can get a combo instead. Whatevs.

It might have been Amplitube but im not sure.

[spacelordmother]

Doods. A laptop and software are integral parts of my setup. It's ridiculous the amount of effects and routing control you have. It is true that software dirt leaves a lot to be desired (so I have it on my board) but the sonic mangling/bit reduction/destruction tools are beyond amazing.

I'm not ashamed as I couldn't do what I can without it and I'm not trying to be in a band anyway.

Tonight I have a power amp showing up which will drive those Sunn 412s in stereo, so... my laptop is my amp...

[BitchPudding]

I feel like I have some sort of complex. Like, the reason I work so hard on my music is cause I wanna be better than everyone, or at least have more output than everyone. I also feel like I need other people to notice me, like I'm shouting for help from the bottom of a big black pit. It makes me feel like a massive douche and I don't like it, but at the same time feeding those attention whore tendencies makes me feel happy, at least for a little.
