turns out i'll listen to almost anything if there's trans people making it. I will even listen to lyrics! And I suck at hearing and understanding lyrics!! Normally I have to love the instrumental parts before I bother with lyrics, so yeah, big deal for me getting into folk-adjacent stuff.

I also listened Lex Walton's "I WANT YOU TO KILL ME" and "divorce lawyers i shaved my head" by jordaan mason a lot. Both have a lot of folk in them, which was so exciting for me! I NEVER listen to folk except live, so connecting with those albums was really special.

I'm also learning not to rely on mesa boogies so fucking much. My guitar tone got much more interesting and isn't just more late 90s early 2000s hard rock/numetal mesa boogie cronch. I love that shit, but now I use NAM profiles and run a Klone into a Bugera v22 or Vox. Switching up my cronches!

My music is intense and personal, mostly about sexual violence, abuse, trying to move forward as a person after things get burned down. I love jazz chord voicings on guitar in hard rock songs (e.g., guitar plays 3rd, 7th, and #9 while the bass plays the root).
