ILFSS 2020 wishful thinking list

[jrfox92]

Last year's info's still relevant:

I wear gigantic shirts, size 12 feet, no meat, typically prefer vinyl, that's about it.

[dubkitty]

I don't think there is anything I don't like. Except maybe seafood. But that is anyway always a bad idea to send in a package

[Paul_C]

I'm intrigued by how many veggies/vegans there are here, a higher number than I would have guessed, if I'm honest.

I didn't mention it as I can't really taste much, but veggie here too (36 years (IIRC)).

[goroth]

I eat everything, including cute fluffy animals, but I mostly I'll eat vegetarian or vegan. I try and eat veggies and meat that's local and that's been produced with some amount of care. Not always possible, especially not in the winter months, but it's a nice aim to have. The microraptors have no interest in this though. They want animals processed into meatball form. Or hotdogs. I can't even sneak in a decent bratwurst in their diets - they notice the overabundance of flavour compounds and diss it. I almost converted the little buggers to vegetarianism after doing a duck fillet sallad. Said vegetarianism lasted around 12 hours. Then they were back on the meatball train.

Hey that's not misdirection that's probably all true

This is the key to misdirection. Liberally sprinkling truth in my posts. Gotta be unpredictable.

You got pets? We love pets!
a big sweet black cat called Otis. seventeen pounds of heavenly joy. his favorite treat is sitting on my lap, but he loves toys. he says if our Satan is from the UK he'd like to try some Dreamies.

Oh shit, I have a large 15 year old cat who loves some dreamies. We have them here in Sweden too, excellent treats

One of my whippets, Savannah, loves those too. I got them once when they didn't have dog treats at the store and now we just buy Dreamies whenever we have to get treats at the grocery store.

Here's what I'm working with in the mOdUlAr ZoNe (there is also a matrix mixer not shown here). I am interested in... sequencers that are fun and not too complicated to programme. Oscillators that are interesting. Functions/envelopes/logic. Another filter maybe...

Just added info 4 my santana

[aedes]

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've been messing around quite a bit on the ipad recently...but I mainly play guitar. Last two pedals I bought are from LaoWiz (Filter Drive and Heatsaw).
I'm good on dirt, but that ehx thread reminds me i'd really like to try one of those mellotron or sitar pedals and the like.

Allergies/dietary restrictions and likes/dislikes for consumption!

No restrictions on foods. Love spicy stuff and local flavor. And chocolate.

T-shirt size!

XXL

You got pets? We love pets!

We've got 2 dogs, 3 cats and 4 fish. They love everything.

What music are you into and what format? Vinyl? Cassette? Minidisc?

I can play all formats. I like pretty much everything except modern country, but i gravitate more towards indie stuff. I'd really like to hear something that's from my santa's hometown. or something from my santa.

Other hobbies you're into!
biking
veggie and herb gardening

seems to be a fairly common response to 2020

Dear Satan -

If you’ve started stalking, you’ve probably figured out I don’t get to hangout as much as I’d like - between living in a near-zombie apocalypse and having a busy semester - hence posting this however many days late. Hum(bucker)bug. Down to bidness.

Food stuff. No caffeine, onions, or shrooms. Hot sauce is fine, as long as it won’t put me in the hospital.

Shirts. Still XXL. Sigh.

Pets. You’ve figured that one out by now, right? Huck and Rosie say wuz up, hail satan, meow.

I’m mainly spinning Spotify these days. Cool bandcamp finds are always welcome. I’ve got a CD/DVD/Blu-ray and a Cass-to-USB unit if you wanna get physical. Top 5 on my ‘on repeat’ playlist as of today - GZA, Sleater-Kinney, Consumer Electronics, Lungfish, Dee-lite. Now playing - Xray Spex.

Fav colors. Black. Purple, obvs. blue/pink/white or purple/black/yellow/white combos.

Gear-wise, I’ll post my current rack today or tomorrow. Other than buying one of those close out e-violins, I’ve been all-in on euro this year. Occasionally I’ll pickup the olympic or the SG, then it’s rm-1n & superego+, 1-2 OC-2s or meatbox, maybe a MIC ge fuzz face > traynor > trace bass cabs + H/K 412 greenbacks. Thinking about it, I realized I probably haven’t bought a single pedal in 2020?! Been doing too much impulse module buying as therapy. Really only thing actively on my shopping list is a wogglebug, maybe. Never had a death metal, or a wah, or anything dwarfcraft or rma. Tend to like things that do what they say on the tin, without too much menu fiddling and manual reading. Tend to like things from Canada. Is there anyone making gear in Iceland? GAS’ing for some of the more esoteric Befaco stuff if you like to rock that DIY tip. Tend to not like things from hate mongers. Generally can’t go wrong with things that drone or have obnoxious low end - we all gravitate towards things that remind us of ourselves, don’t we?

Mainly reading textbooks these days, but always open to cool sci-fi, speculative, dystopian whatever. Next on the to read pile: Invention of Sound, Go Ahead in the Rain, This Isn’t Happening, How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, Necrophilia Variations, and the new Frank Miller Batman thing.

Did I forget anything? Hail hail.

Sorry for procrastinatin' Satan
here're some breadcrumbs in approved format:

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've got a metric ton of gear, and I post a lot about stuff I'm into, so stalk away. Even outside the coronavirus killing all bands, I think I'm done being in bands just for social reasons, so my music interests are shifting towards ways I can get my freak on alone or in small pairings - generally more into drones than pretty ambientisms, and I've recently come to a better understanding that my core tone goal is lofi, no matter how much the latest shiny mod or ambience related thing may draw my attention - so things to make it all scuzzy is a major interest right now.

Allergies/dietary restrictions and likes/dislikes for consumption!

Don't do red meat or super fatty things for health reasons, but other than that, still freakin' love food, and I am totally down for new/local flavors from your world....

T-shirt size!

XL

You got pets? We love pets!

Got a menagerie - 6 birds, 4 dogs, 2 cats, 4 chickens, which is a downsizing for us since we left the farm...any treats are great as it enhances my status living in the shadow of the goddess.

What music are you into and what format? Vinyl? Cassette? Minidisc?

Not fixed currently for vinyl, but I can handle cassettes, cd, computer media. Annoyingly (to people in the what are you listening to now thread, I'm sure) omnivorous, I've always had a broken filter, so if it's a solid example of any genre, I'm probs gonna dig it. Trying to emphasize experimental listening these days and the newer the better, but really would be into hearing your music, stuff from your local scene, etc.

Other hobbies you're into!

retro gaming
cooking
reading is fun da mental - always enjoy good sci-fi (more the PK Dick wing, much much less the space operas), urban fantasy (or whatever they call the stuff without dragons and hobbitses), poetry (outsider, symbolist, English translations for my ignorant unilingual ass), music (duh), philosophy, science nonfiction, indie comix and some of what used to be easy to find on Vertigo ( ) I am e-reader capable too
