Well the upside is that you kick your own ass harder than anyone else so if they do it's a walk in the park.
That may be one of my biggest issues. I have a problem with authority, I have a fear of being called out and humiliated. I'm sometimes too careful, as odd as that may sound judging from my own account of what I sometimes type "out there".
I haven't been spanked in a while is what I'm saying. I think I may need a real spanking.
I have my share of issues. I've gotten better at being "wrong", that's not the issue really these days...I'm not sure what my issues are. I know I get anxious and depressed a super lot. I fight it by being creative and trying to see funny things in life. We can be our worst friends to ourselves. It's very creepy, actually. I think. I think somewhere along the line that a lot of people made a decision to deal with their stuff completely undisclosed, especially socially. Me, on the other hand, I think I do it publicly, and that upsets the ebb and flow. I'm often too honest and that is a HUGE obstacle, because I'm also a damn good liar.
You mean like, hiding how you really feel? Or in which way do you lie?
Which decade of music has the most influence on you?
Probably this decade tbh. It's a culmination of all decades passed, and it is desperately looking for an identity, and can;t seem to find it. I mean, yes you have novelty items but nothign too substantial that asn't been done better and more authentic (obviously).
I want to stumble into the new sound. Even if I have to pretend that I am going to make it myself.

I usually cannot hide how I feel. I am not a good liar physically, but I can lie well if I am not invested into making an impression on anyone, or something...shlt, i don't know lol

I had a conversation with someone recently about whether music is a dying art or not. He said no new genres have been invented in ages so it's dying. Of course I disagree. What do you think?

I definitely agree that no genres are getting invented because they aren't even really genres anymore. I think music is still alive, it's just not put out commercially anymore. I mean, yes, you have your Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Bobby Brown drum machine rip-off top 40..but radio is completely dead. Digital radio? That's another thing. It's what's happening now and changing all of the time. It's not settled anymore. You have to really dig for "good" music if you're serious about your music. And even then..it's a lot of melancholy. I still have yet to find something timeless and fun out there being put out currently. Like I said..you have your Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 stuff...but it teeters on the edge of the trash bin. It's not particular. It's a cash in. Doesn't matter they "play their own instruments". They're boring and unoriginal. That's the worst because the gestures they make promise yesterday, as if yesterday is all they have to offer in place of today's mediocrity.
Inspiration isn't dead, but maybe it should take a nap for a while because new music isn't fun for me..OK, I'M OLD! There, I said it.
You've always had to dig though. I think that a lot of new genres are simply filed as "avant garde" nowadays so it seems more stagnant than it is.
I have no idea what's passing for pop these days. It's seriously dire.
I think I need to realign myself to finish off these drums and do the bass fixes, then do my projections for the film, and then cook my steak (in that order). I'd like to leave a few images of what I've been up to this weekend, creatively, as well as the source clip of the film intro I am adapting.
The original film opening and music
My kitchen as a makeshift studio for re-amping the footage I've shot. I'm projecting up the less flattering shots and saving the primo shots for just regular splicing in. Might be a cool thing.
Some b roll of last night's semi failed comping. I take another pass tonight hopefully with tighter results.
Thank you, @cat_sidhe for being a gracious host! It says a lot about you that you'd give the floor to someone and ask such bitchin' questions. It was fun!

Glad you enjoyed the experience. Have a great rest of the day.
