-Post some relevant gear info, like what you've got, what you're considering getting and general stuff you like (what sort of effect or brand or whatever).
I’ll post picks in the relevant threads. Basically, I have no idea where to go next with my gear. Every day I think about going in a different direction musically. Going modular sounds fun, not really for synthesizer music but for the weird physical interfaces you can have using modular. There’s a Uher 1/4” reel-to-reel I’m getting on order, that will hopefully arrive one day. I also think I have too many delays/reverbs, and I always want different flavors of fuzz. Things with flipswitches, rocker switches, and latching buttons make me happy.
-Allergies/dietary restrictions and likes/dislikes for consumption!
No dietary restrictions, just don’t send me booze or anything that looks even remotely like drugs. I always crave chocolate. Anything that’s a regional candy would be delightful. I hate black licorice, but I know it’s a popular candy in some parts of the world. So, if it’s an important flavor where you’re from, I’d love to try it.
-T-shirt size!
Whenever I buy t-shirts, regardless of brand, medium always fits perfectly. My clothing sizes are very average overall, with the exception of my head. I have a large head and if I remember right my hat size is 7&1/4.
-You got pets? We love pets!
I have a cat named Simon. He hates treats, catnip, and human food, but he loves stringy things and small toy mice. The only “treat” he accepts are fry bags from Burger King.
-What music are you into and what format? Vinyl? Cassette? Minidisc?
I’ve been on a techno kick forever, and my main way of listening to music is spotify. However, Spotify keeps showing me techno and post-punk, when I really enjoy a wide variety of music. Even though I keep trying to get Spotify to recommend me different genres, I keep getting more of the same. So, I’m getting a little sick of techno and post punk.
No genre is off limits, but if lyrics are important to enjoying the music it’s probably not a good pick for me. When I listen to music the lyrics don’t really register. When I write songs I usually write a single verse/chorus and repeat them the entire song. So, anything that you think is cool and new would probably be cool with me, and if you have any tunes I’d love to hear them.
(downloads really are preferred, but I can play records, CDs, and cassettes.)
-Other hobbies you're into!
My other hobbies are film photography and retro video games. I’ve got a 35mm Pentax K1000 and a bunch of Polaroid cameras. My retro videogame thing has gotten a little out of hand. Between my handhelds and consoles, I have 16 different systems. I do also like to read a good, short, horror story every now and again. For videogames and tv/movies if there’s something you think is cool and it’s something that was specific to your part of the world, it’s probably something I’d be interested in. Basically, I’m always looking for something new and unusual when it comes to movies/videogames/tv/literature; the weirder it is the better.
