I’m over sitting like a backslash in the back of a taxi because the ceiling is too low and there is no leg room to scoot down.21 Feb 2025 17:51 +0000at://did:plc:auiit23zy245yudtt7rffs2f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lipelujah22shttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmangraves.bsky.social/post/3ldk56qvw4k2jWith trends in music being cyclical, I for one cannot wait for the current trending race to have the loudest snare, and over-edited performances to be over.18 Dec 2024 00:49 +0000at://did:plc:auiit23zy245yudtt7rffs2f/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldk56qvw4k2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmangraves.bsky.social/post/3lctt4oxk7s2xHave been asked to track bass on a really heavy EP.

Hopefully for the last time.

For reference my former band came up in the time when bands used iPods and a splitter for tracks, and then began to switch to more pro-setups, and we were one of them. 1/27 Nov 2024 21:50 +0000at://did:plc:auiit23zy245yudtt7rffs2f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbxjul5vss2whttps://bsky.app/profile/oldmangraves.bsky.social/post/3lbus6yxtm225Bands on heavy rotation this week. - Refused - Botch - Sleep Token - Deafheaven - Bilmuri - Biffy Clyro - Converge - Reuben - Killswitch Engage - Poltergeist Suggestions for things I should add in?26 Nov 2024 19:41 +0000at://did:plc:auiit23zy245yudtt7rffs2f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbus6yxtm225
