    Man, I wish my life were that simple again.

    That looks so fucking relaxing, like I have nothing to do for the rest of the evening, and no pressing concerns as I sip my chocolate milk.

    Only thing I would change: out that TV on a milk crate so your neck isnt strained even more than it is from sitting on the floor.

      That was exactly my setup when I struck out on my own.

      GameCube, wavebird, bongos, Twilight Princess. PS2, Guitar Hero, mod chip, case full of burned games. Single twin size mattress on the floor.

      Those were the best days of my life.

      I had two DVDs. Napoleon Dynamite and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

      No internet, no telephone. I wanted to be creative and I didn’t want distractions. I wrote most of my songs in that little window.

      Screw it. I never share my music. Here’s one of the songs I recorded.

        This song slaps, did you do all the parts yourself? Are you still making music?

          I added some to YouTube. Will be adding more.

          Y’all have no idea how much it means to me that people like this stuff.

          I suddenly have all of this motivation to record all my newer stuff that I just sit around and play to relax.

            Hell yeah these are great! I’m a particular fan of Stone to Throw, Untitled Noise 2, and Hallelujah Further Down. Special shout out to Flip-top PS3 that one’s the panty dropper. But for real I’ve enjoyed myself at shows that aren’t this good. I’m excited to have gotten to listen to your music

              And for rest of your comment. Man, I wish I could tell you how you’ve made me feel with that. I really do.

              Your comment and a few others here have brought me back to life, you know?

              Especially yours.

              Thank you!

              :p I love you haha.

              I really thought I was leading the way for next gen mods when I put that together.

              One other guy did it and he gave me a shoutout. :p

          Yeah I do. Not as much as I did then. I really appreciate the comment.

          I did do all the parts, but I had originally recorded the drums on an old cheap Yamaha electric pad thing. I met someone online years ago who remastered the recording and redid the drums.

          I’ve shared my music like 3 times in the last decade. I mostly just do it for me and for my people when I kick the bucket, in case they want it. I know my son does. He wants everything, even all of the hours and hours of recordings where I was trying to come up with something.

          I’m really glad you like it. I’ll share a few more.

              I think I’ll do that tonight. I haven’t posted my stuff seriously since 2010ish.

              I made videos and everything but I lost them all.

              Heck my mom saved two but they’re not in the quality I put them in. My ex called her and said I was deleting them so she rushed to save what she could and got those.

              I was in a very bad place back then. Actually ended up being diagnosed with cannabis induced psychosis by the time it was all over.

              Here are those two. I don’t care for the one where I did the ghostly images. The song could have been good but it was too long.

              Thank you guys for taking interest in this stuff. I might let my brother put it all on Spotify haha. He’s been trying to get me to for a while.

                Just coming to add a +1 on the YouTube links, I don’t download random files from mega, but I’ll listen to anything you have on YT, Spotify, or any FOSS counterparts.

                Those YT links you’ve posted already sound great! This definitely would have been my exact vibe in 2010, but it’s definitely going into the car Playlist now.

                Don’t be afraid of longer songs, if they’ve got focus and purpose, they’ll hold up. One of my favorite songs back in the day was 22 minutes and 20ish seconds long. Unfortunately it’s a religious Christian song (that all the old people assumed was satanic because they couldn’t be bothered to try listening to lyrics) so I don’t care for the words much anymore, but the guitar is still banger.

                  Been uploading while I can today. I have a ton more stuff to dig out so subscribe and you’ll know when I add more.

                  Thank you for liking it.

                  It’s been 15 years since anyone has heard a lot this stuff. Most of it was family just being nice.

                Hell yeah man, good stuff! If you do end up putting your stuff on the streaming services, don’t forget about all the stuff you gotta do to collect royalties, this is what’s holding me back from releasing my music lol

                  I can’t believe I’m doing this haha.

                  Subscribe to my channel there and as I upload them you’ll see them.

                    Seriously get this stuff up on Spotify, also you should re record this stuff with better audio equipment. The stuff they have now, even the cheap stuff from Amazon is really good.

      But when we were young and had set ups like this we also had invincible bodies.

      Or rather, what felt at the time to be invincible bodies. Now I’m at the part of life where the bill for that comes due.
