It turned out really well because my band mate and I produced all songs in a fairly short amount of time and thus the style of each song went well with all the others. It was more indie, too. The next album was released via a well known label and they kept pestering us with changes they wanted us to do. It felt too mainstream for me to be happy with the result.

Recording my third music album in Berlin and it turned out to be the best of all records I have done so far in my life.

I always feel the need to puke when reading that utter cunts name. It is beyond my imagination how fucking daft a single person can be.

Never deal with people who are religious or 'spiritual'. They are all delusional and batshit insane. Turn around, walk away, never look back.

Ich habe im Steam Sale zugeschlagen: Star Trek: Resurgence und Shooty shooty robot invasion. Letzteres ist ein herrlich absurder und handgezeichneter Indie-FPS-Shooter und ich habe lange nicht mehr so gelacht. Es ist herrlich absurd und mit knapp über 7 € kann man da auch nicht viel falsch machen.

I know, but at least a Muppet from Sesame Street.

The Count. Ah, ah, ah, ah!

100 % salmon. Unfortunately one of my neighbours painted their entire house like that and it pisses me off every day walking my dog.

I am so sorry, he was a very dear friend of mine.

If you want to, we can talk about him via PM.

It actually is just the way you described it. But one of my students is technically far beyond most others her age - and still demands playing shitty pop music. Sometimes I really want to make her angry (she's heavy on the spectrum), just so she can unleash her full potential. Have fun with other genres. Like, idk, play a song of my late friend's band Static-X. :D I know she could do it, but she prefers not to. I am not shoving or pushing her. She does what she feels fine with. So, I guess more Swift, more Lady Gaga, more Billie Eilish... ;D

Most of my students are kids / teenagers and especially group classes can be somewhat annoying every now and then. But at the same time it's very rewarding. Sure, sometimes I'm a bit underwhelmed by their taste in music, but hey, I've been a dumbass kid as well back in the day. I love the lessons when I'm not taking any requests, just giving a big lecture about different music genres and then getting into the drumming zone. I teach one advanced class every 2nd week (beginners class is every week) and I love seeing my students light up when it comes to proper challenging stuff. One is a fun nu metal fan who once asked me if I knew how to play "Word up". You mean the Korn version or the actual original? Lol, his mind was blown away after hearing the original for the first time, and that was the original song plus me on the drums playing along to it. :D I might've had shitty parents, but oh dear, both of them had good taste in music and thus I know boatloads of cool stuff all the way down from the mid 50s up until the early 90s.

May I introduce you to Drumeo? :D Rock on! I know some of the people from the channel on a personal level and some of the "listen to the first time" teachers actually taught me the ropes when I started out playing (I used to be coder / keyboarder before getting into playing drums).
