Would post social media but firstly, privacy, secondly and more importantly I don't actually talk about gear on there

Dear Satan,

First off, sorry I haven't been around much this year but plan to be more active in the lead up here. I imagine I won't be that great to stalk because of my post output and my less than enthusiastic view on gear (and life). That said, I feel like I have never been more into music in general. I have been listening to nothing but hip hop this year and loving every second of it. For whatever reason, it put me in a good mood and in today's world everyone needs something to do that.

Anyway, I haven't played guitar in I wanna say at least 6 months, no real reason as to why and that kinda sucks but I have been playing synths and sampling a lot. I was super into pedals for many years but over the last year or so I have kinda fallen off as to what's new and I think I have only gotten 3 pedals this last year; Clang, Vongon Ultrasheer (great reverb on synths in case you didn't know) and I just grabbed a leftover Baklengs. That being said, I like delays, reverbs, anything that will do something weird. Been missing my Grendel drone commander and wouldn't mind something like a drone/noise device thing. My IG is _cantremember and I think I have most my pedal collection and a chunk of my music collection posted up there but I haven't posted on it in months either.

I have a dog and she is my life. I like hot sauce, anything sweet, adult beverages, and I wear size L tank tops or long sleeves. I can play tapes but prefer records, don't really do downloads but any of yr music would be great and basically anything or whatever is something that is a favorite or yrs that is local to you. I life trying new things!

Dear Carlos (Santana),
i'd love to taste some food from your neck of the woods: sweets, spices, sauces and pretty much everything, i love to cook.
Not gonna ease your job with many gear-related infos here so just stalk me, i promise to post more than in the last few months. Just fyi: not much into granular-synthesis stuff atm, and i am not a fan of "shimmer".
Shirts: an M size should do.
I have a 3 years old daughter and she enjoys noisy things and pink.

good luck!

This is honestly how I read it at first and I was impressed

It seems that her favorite bpm area goes more or less from old school thrash a'la Kill 'Em All to NOFX-style 'core, but she also enjoys some of the worst takes from eurovisions song contest so..... Yeah, noise punk it is.

I feel like Nofx has a couple of great songs and a lot of songs that make me listen to other bands.

I've been super busy, sorry Carlos. Will post a proper post soon.

Started tinkering on my gift to my mark. I haven't had time to make stuff for a while, and it's so much fun! I really hope they will enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying making it.

I’m just gonna say, knowledge is making these threads interesting this year.

Yeah I really loved the christmas comptroller role it's so fun watching everyone scurry around like festive rats, unaware of the breadth of your vision from atop the ivory tower of knowledge.

My stalker may feel pressure from me not having posted about gear in almost a decade but don't be....picture me more like a desperate man who hasn't gotten any in a long time.....I'll love anything.

Long story short, I used to have a pretty decent collection of pedals but sold most of them when my quintuplets were born.....then another baby was born.....now the quints are nine and getting into music so I'm able to kinda piece a board back together but I've missed out on nine years of pedals......so what did I miss that you love? And used is totally cool. Save that money.

I play bass but the kids also play guitar and keyboard. I love fuzzy and glitchy things. Fuzzy synth sounds are my jam and I was always chasing the perfect fuzz-synth tone.

I love getting local stuff from other places. I miss traveling so anything from your area is cool. Love both coffee and tea. L in shirts. Gemini. Not necessarily into long walks on the beach but down for it if there's good convos. Totally into cuddles. That kinda stuff.

I feel you on the kids - as soon as the next baby started no sleeping I have not been able to pick up my axe as much as I would hope.

That and lack of sleep and shit

In all my years on ILF this is the first year I've done ILFSS.

My favorite thing about internet secret santas is sharing local staples with people from far off places so if you've got cool local products or treats send 'em my way! Im also into folks bands' and band merch.

I wear t shirts 100% of the time in life. Size is medium.

If you make any sort of gear thing that's always exciting.

Dear Satan,
I'm sorry I've been out of touch lately. It's been a busy time. I've been driving a lot and we bought a second house for my sister's family to live in and I just never have time on a computer anymore. Whenever I have fifteen idle minutes, I go into the music room and make some weird noise and ILF is still where my heart lives.
This seems like a good time for an inventory.
Here's what I'm using most of the time:

I'm happy to fill you in on what's what if you're curious. I just got a deal on a Spaceman Aurora and it's not represented.
These are some things that aren't in the regular lineup but I love them all nonetheless:

This is a little chain I set up to run a microphone through for my kids:

In a quest to find a rhythmic accompaniment that sounds like a drum set being thrown down the stairs, I've started experimenting with synthy things:

All I want for christmas is an oscillating motorboating fuzz with a momentary switch, or maybe something boring like decent headphones, a 15" speaker for my Bandmaster Reverb, or a little mixer module for the eurorack. I'd be happy with anything built by an ILF builder. Whatever I receive, I will cherish it forever. (Please no phasers.)

My tastes remain the same as previous years. I'm pescetarian and I like spicy things. I'll happily consume any alcoholic or non beverages or foods that are unique or typical of your local area. I almost certainly will never wear a regular cut tshirt. Most of my music listening happens via Apple Music and Bandcamp these days but I still have the vinyl setup for special times.

Most of my online time these days is on mobile and I sometimes chat on the collector/emitter discord. https://discord.gg/QQsR7kat
Sometimes the Superfluous Gearposting discord. https://discord.gg/vyGuDunp
Or TTMN
I'm Isobel (oldangelmidnight)#9885 on there.

Love you forever!

OK I'll bring the ski masks you bring the baseball bats?

Yeah, when I get bored, I'll just start sending out mystery boxes.
