Slow Motion Walter @thermous@linernotes.club
Raised on #70sRock and #60sJazz, have branched out from there.
I was in a band called Thermous a million years ago. We took third place in the campus battle of the bands.
This began as my music-posting alt but has evolved to include guitar gear-mongering and kit-building blather too, and slowly seems to be eclipsing my tech nerd account as well.
My music-making account is @mayor.

My discogs waitlist plus being in a record store that makes it’s inventory searchable online is a wonderful and dangerous combination
covid

If I had a time machine, *this* is the sort of thing I'd use it for

tfw you wonder who the hot musicians are on an album and find the wrecking crew again
I guess I’ll try sanding just the shitty spots down to bare wood and see if I can redo just those areas. The nitro does seem quite forgiving in that respect.
I blame the primer, which I did read some complaints about on tdrp (but also read enough “worked fine for me” posts to go with it.) lifted right down to the shellac, it’s bullshit
Just bought tix to see Tuba Skinny in August, which will be the first live show I've gone to since... fall of 2018?! 😭
Underrated Zappa album that I have not listened to in way too long:
The Man From Utopia
I just merged about 15 months' worth of code by 3 different devs with zero conflicts or broken tests, so I've got that going for me

Minecraft allows one to live out a number of unrealistic fantasies, for example sleeping peacefully through the night & waking up at dawn every morning
