Hello to the Strut
Besides a handful of small doses of peyote and acid I haven't really done psychedelics until just a couple years ago.* I knew I would use them at one point for therapeutic reasons but between that idea and my first serious dose were 3 years with a 5-6 day a week regimen of 3-7 hours mindfulness meditation and yoga after Jon Kabat-Zinn. I used a guided audio series that was first distributed on cassette tape in the late 70s or early 80s I think. He has a website where you can buy the mp3s, I can't recommend this shit enough. Preparing the mind-set is the most crucial part. If you pay good enough attention your subconscious will lead you and let you know when you're ready. The *real psychedelic experience opens the door to the subconscious. I believe that this way it can hand you the tools to re-wire yourself, help to release and truly understand trauma and its effects on your life and behavior and it can lead to a full understanding of self. This is not a silver bullet though and the outcome depends on the amount of work invested. Once you gained this understanding though you can go ahead and go pretty wild with this stuff. In my experience the main effect is not the trip itself but what will follow. For me there is always a 1-2 day phase where everything just settles and then begins the process of understanding. This is all totally subjective though and I'm certified crazy so take this with some salt.*actually, that's not true. Once I ingested a pint of highly concentrated hash honey with the active ingredients of ca 2 pounds of bud. A teaspoon of this would usually let me sleep for 12 hours. In high doses cannabinoids get super psychedelic. Was an accident though so I don't count this.

I make my own Mezcal based absinthe down here from home grown wormwood. One of very few plant based anti-parasitical remedies to cross the blood brain barrier (hence the psychoactive effects).

Fake it 'Till You Make It
ppadilha said:yeah, DOMi and JD Beck are nuts.I get that the girl in the first video is trying to sound like house music, but house music is like the most unimpressive music to try to emulate, and she's still doing a crap job of it. I'm much more into these young jazz drummers going all amen break because they dig the blazing downtempo.Those two other videos by that girl are even more baffling to me. I have zero sense of rhythm, to the point that my brother always made fun of me for it growing up, so I'm always a little weary when people starts shitting on some musician's technical ability and whatnot because it usually just comes across as musical snobbery. But man, even to my untrained ears and complete lack of rhythm that drumming sounds like garbage. In the comments people are like "wow, mad time signature changes!" but how is it even a change in time signature when she can't hold a beat for more than 2 seconds, unless it's some four on the floor thumping business?Maybe those "fans" just cheer her on so she embarrasses herself some more, like some drunk falls down a flight of stairs and everybody cheers "WOOooooww – check out those next level parkour skills" just so the idiot crawls back up and does it all over again.

Hey Frank. Good to see you. What part of the world are you in these days?I cannot understand how anyone who has any ears (much less professional musicians) cannot tell within less than 15 seconds that she cannot play for shit. The post in not so much about her (I'm a hack player as well) as it is those who have enabled this utter madness. Is this gaslighting? Is there something wrong with my ears?
Hey Crab. Good and surprising to see some action here again. I've been living in Oaxaca for 5 years now in a few months from now this will be the longest I've ever stayed in a single place since I was 12 and still loving it more with every week that goes by.
Admittedly this is an extreme case but I don't think it's anything that out of the ordinary. There are a lot of idiots out there who buy idiot products and feel idiotically passionate about it, just have a look at those comments... delusional hobbyist drummers need idols too from what it looks like. This is the same pattern as people "cooking" "Mexican" "Food" from Goya cans and processed mutant corn products, grown ups reading harry potter, obese fucks driving "sports" cars, "Nordic" walking with those retard sticks, "smart" phones, tvs, doorbells etc
The only hope I have is that covid mutates fast enough to wipe all these embarrassments of the face of the earth for good.

Can anyone explain Nardwuar the Human Serviette?
As a fellow fanboy and compulsive rabbit hole crawler I can understand what drives this guy but at the same time I get how his hyper nervous persona, his ice pick to the ear voice and frantic, poking microphone moves can grate some people in purely painful ways. Who would want to face such an assault before a performance or, maybe even worse, afterwards.Then there are truly magical moments when the chemistry works like in the Pharell interview, it just seems he needs a real chill and self aware person as a subject. But holy shit... that voice... just get yourself some downers man and maybe smoke two packs of Gauloises a day, can't be hard to get those in Canada. I have to made and admission though... back in 1983 I wore the same exact plaid zipper pants.
