Kinda Ashley (18+)

My living room is weird, so even 160Hz doesn’t sound directional. The front speakers I have can go down to 60Hz before it rolls off, but I’m guessing the room muddies it up. I did do a sub crawl a few days ago, and there’s only really one good spot for low frequencies. It’s all coming together….

Just realised my receiver has a subwoofer crossover high pass setting, which is great. Having it at the right setting for regular crossover (80Hz) wasn’t working, so boosting the crossover to max (160Hz) sounds so much smoother and more natural, the bass is coming through without being overpowering!

I haven’t given them a real proper listen, just a few scattered tracks, the KEXP session and the selected works compilation, its enough to get me wanting to do a deep dive, going chronologically

The band HEALTH sounds like the shitty edgy music I listened to when I was 13 but good.

Help

lol I got so frustrated with myself today that I did that before putting on an album. It took like, a while for my brain to accept that it is album time, but I got there by the end of it

It’s probably why I still don’t feel like my art is at 100%, I rarely get that flow state where art is just flowing through me and it’s fun and almost effortless

Man, COVID + TikTok has really killed my attention span lol. TikTok wasn’t really gripping me until after I got COVID. Like a bacteria entering an open wound. I really notice it when watching a movie or listening to an album, it’s really hard to switch into “focus mode”, and easy to break me out

I LOVE KEXP

ostriches aren't even australian

wwerrre quick random mosasaur.

i hate that once brain fog clears it takes a few days of sketching shitty for my art to come back

I’ve had migraines before, I don’t think this is one. But some other stress related headache feels likely, probably a tension headache

Perhaps there’s something wrong if I’ve had this same headache since Tuesday

I guess my retort is that America has a disproportionate amount of bears, and there’s not even antibearnom

Magpies are chill if you’re chill, my local magpies barely even react to my existence

I wonder where the idea that Australia’s wildlife is uniquely dangerous comes from. Like, North America has their own equivalent of pretty much each species + bears, mountain lions, and moose.

I love how Mark E. Smith sounds like a vampire in the intro to his verse

Goddamn The Mountain is amazing

So mad that since I got COVID in 2024, my ability to handle spice has been so much worse. Both heat in my mouth and in my gut. It hasn’t really gotten better, while my brain fog is basically gone, and even my ability to focus/do art is like, 80% back. But no, I can’t have Buldak anymore.

Moon Safari by Air is one of my top 10 albums of all time. It’s just so perfect

Been a fan of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard for 9 years as of today

As is your right

massive brain fog can't stop me from drawing fat pliosaur

And KFC just brought back Zinger Nachos, so I really do need the extra money. Zinger Nachos are essential to my wellbeing

I kinda feeel that in my TOS I should mention that I am very fine with drawing wings, I've been drawing winged dinosaurs since I was 14, they're easier than regular arms to me lol

worst brain fog I've had in a while, it feels like how i felt right after getting COVID

don't think I'll get any more comms done today, massive brain fog day. I'll def try get them done early tomorrow, I wanna go to my local Record Store for the Gorillaz album listening party and buy that album on vinyl lol. Or at least afford the train.

I really like this thing

the endless problem I have with pricing is everyone says I should increase it, and then when I do no one gets comms from me at those prices.
