this is super interesting one thing ive noticed with my friends who are new parents is that they’ve managed to develop their own boundaries around this preemptively β€” either posting kids pics with the faces emoji’d over or to close friends circles instead of fully public

i decided to not make a very expensive purchase and instead play the new pedal that came in the mail with an old guitar
urgent gear nerd advice β€” watched a zillion videos on this but want opinions: dude on reverb just dropped the price on a thinline telecaster I’ve been obsessing over and am curious if they play drastically different than solid body teles

the old internet was so much better niche topical forums, people didnt take it too seriously except flamewars, mods were typically alcoholic domestic abusers. you’d see a funny video n discuss it for weeks or maybe traumatize yourself after stumbling on a beheading video at 14, stuff of that nature

Q for gearnerds: do you go for modern new stuff/custom shop builds or vintage (or at least pre-2000) pieces i went through a period where i was looking/buying mostly newer guitars on the cheap but considering build quality after a certain time am thinking of just selectively buying old shit

Once I was on a really crowded Q train with David Byrne and he kept being like "wow! very packed in here! magnificent!" and everyone around him was like making eye contact with each other and it was impossible to tell who knew he was David Byrne or not
one time a friend of mine was in line at a pizza place and realized David Byrne was right behind her in line. He looked up at the menu and said "Margherita" to himself in exactly David Byrne voice. You know what it sounds like. Try it now, out loud. live a little
