Radio DJ on a latino station straight up spreading anti-immigrant propaganda and then supposedly he opens up the phone line and he says “oh this isn’t a debate, I just want to hear opinions” and then all the callers are just agreeing with him anyway. Fucking hate gusanos.

I started the guitar solo. The breakdown I worked on last starts around 3:10, and the guitar solo starts around 3:30. This is just half of it. It’ll be a fairly long one.

I’ll do a brief drum solo after that (to revisit the theme of the intro), and then one more verse, pre-chorus, and chorus sequence, and then some outro of some sort.

Finally got to a point where I was able to sing through a whole song using unclean vocals and didn’t need to take a break.

Unfortunately, I didn’t record it yet, but this is a huge accomplishment because I used to feel weak as shit doing this even after just a single verse. This time, it felt incredibly easy, relaxed, and natural yet the growls still sounded fierce as fuck.

I did this so casually. I was just doing some dishes, and then I just randomly started singing the lyrics to “Pull the Plug” by Death. I sang the whole way through with my unclean technique.

I’ve been trying to practice my uncleans a lot more often because I felt like I was giving the cleans more love as of late, but I’m gonna practice both whenever I can!

@[email protected] I remember one time as a small kid that I had a tantrum in a souk because my parents didn’t want me to get a blanket of Vegeta screaming and instead bought me a blanket with rabbits on it.

I decided to make the bridge a polyrhythmic breakdown kind of section.

The ambient guitar track in the background has a far more coherent rhythm, but the chugs on top are just… a bit all over the place, but it’s in a way that works.

I’m in love with this. I think I did a good job. I could imagine it going well with some melodic, non-word vocals that harmonize well with the ambience (things like humming and whatnot).

Guitar solo is next!

Absurd question but I just realized I have no idea how do I make other bipoc friends? Because almost all my friends are white and there’s things they don’t get. I live in a very white place but it’s a city and there’s tons of normal (non-cracker) people around, but a lot of them seem siloed in their own communities. I’ve never felt like I could go to cultural events for my ethnic group and don’t even know if there are any here because my parents are pretty assimilationist, I don’t speak the language, I don’t have a shared cultural background because I was raised very American.

I can’t get over that someone joked that I’m “Angel” when I sing my clean vocals but an alter-ego of mine named “Demon” comes out when I sing my unclean vocals.

Goofy!

there are members of a DSA caucus that are legitimately mad at and talking about filing a grievance against another DSA member for calling them crackers on twitter. there’s no joke I could make that’s funnier then the situation itself

Nerds we are gonna get cancelled for saying the c-word

“Peace in the middle east” you say before I grab your ankle and twist behind your shoulder

already got this much done

I’m thinking to write a bridge that leads into a guitar solo and then go from there with one more verse/pre-chorus/chorus section. After that, some sort of outro will close out the song, and that will conclude track 8 out of 9!

The thing about U.S. media dominance is that you can’t escape its ideas even in places you consider to be apolitical or safe, I just saw a kitty page that I follow make a joke about the U.S. bombing Iran.

She won’t leave my mind for some reason.

First.
