So crazy man. Im really glad I never had kids. Im 40 now and Im just now feeling like I may consider it. No offence to 20 years olds but seeing someone that age with two or three kids blows my mind. I feel like Im just barely old enough to even think about kids.

The only thing it proves is that I'll use any old screen shot to validate my nonsensical internal dialog.

I misread your post at first. I edit this to simply "Weed and video games, fuck yeah!"

I remember asking my dad why he didn't watch cartoons anymore when I was a wee little fucker. He said that I wouldn't like cartoons either when I become an adult. Still waiting, dad. Still waiting.

Exactly. It's an art in itself. A cross fade was laying the diagonal cuts of two strips onto each other at the seam. Your fade time what the angle of the cut. DAWs visualize that but it used to be an actual cut. Wild times back then. Digital completely took over right after I left college and it's a shame because there's something special in there that makes every edit mean something. With no Ctrl-Z, every cut is a commitment.

If you look up pics of old iconic rock master reels, some of those things look like a Frankenstein monster. But once they put it on wax for sale, you'd never know the reels looked like hot garbage.

let's get you back inside, grandpa. Rub some liniment on those bunions and put you on one of your favorite spaghetti westerns.

I do sound professionally and I originally learned to track on 2" magnetic tape. Our one digital console had something like 24 channels (which was cutting edge at the time) and every channel required a $40k card slotted into this proprietary rack costing god know how much. Now, any cheap laptop can be an audio rig that has basically unlimited channels and enough DSP to basically do anything they want. Nothing like slicing tape with a razor hoping your edit was right. Also, navigating a patch bay that looks like spilled spaghetti to pop a single channel of compression on a track.

Just couple of geriatrics now.

Fear Inoculum is over 6 years old already. That still feels brand new to me. Especially since we had to wait over 13 years between 10,000 Days and their "New" Fear Inoculum.

Google wasn't Google back then. Same name, different devil.

My sibling is way younger than I and she and their friends were asking me what it was like during 9/11 because that's entirely before their time. I felt like an old vet talking about storming the beaches on D-Day. It's so wild how actual adults were born in what feels like just a few years ago.

it's not me. I have been carrying around that resentment towards them for many years now. Front line get the spear, or so it's said.

 

Where the hell did all that time go?

Fun Fact: I was the very first person who discovered a back masked subliminal message on Tool's "10,000 Days" album and my video got sum 100k views which was insane for that time in youtube history. Whenever Tool finally released their discography on streaming platforms, I got a copyright strike and it was taken down. fuckers.

 
 

Ya'll said no stupid questions, so here it goes... I've been on a huge Coolio kick the past 6 months or so I've been listening to his albums but haven't watched any of this music videos. Tonight, I decided to smoke some weed (Not a super regular thing for me) and watch some Coolio music videos. Do any fellow 90's kids recognize any of the three other guys in the car with Coolio? If this isn't the place to ask, I'd really appreciate some direction.
