Charlotte.

Shoegaze uses a ridiculous amount of pedals. For shoegaze, you'll need at least one distortion pedal, a flanger, reverb, and tremelo. If you're looking at getting decent quality, you're looking at $100+ per.

And tell me about it regarding expensive hobbies. I've spent $10,000 of music equipment and recording since 2002.

Yeah, I noticed pedals here, you're lucky to get anything for under $150 (Liam linked me to a few). I just want to expand what I can do with my guitar, but I'm fucked if I know where to start.

Photography's going to bleed me out of money even quicker ...

Watch youtube videos. People seriously go out of their way to tell you how to achieve certain sounds. Hell, my guitar tone can sound just like this:

YouTube - U2 Running to stand still ZooTV version - Pedalboard demo with Shimmer

...because I bought some of what he has.

 

[Axver]

Oh I remember that RTSS video! Now why can't all that gear turn up in my flat overnight?

 

[Slopsy]

I...am glad I don't have any hobbies.

 

[Axver]

I...am glad I don't have any hobbies.

What do you call this Intarwebzing?

And looks like the daily hiccup's preparing to strike ...

 

[Axver]

Aaand we're back! That was an earlier hiccup than usual, by a few minutes.

 

[Slopsy]

Early hiccup was early.

 

[Axver]

Haha, beat you, Charlotte.

 

[Slopsy]

Ah fuck you : slow :

 

[Axver]

So much for that caffeine high of yours.

 

[Slopsy]

There's only one solution, clearly. :moarcoffee:

 

[Axver]

That, to me, sounds like torture, as opposed to any sort of positive solution.

Goddamn wasn't I making dinner?

 

[Slopsy]

You go make dinner. I'll go make my coffee.

Why don't we have people to do these things for us?

 

[Axver]

Because we're not rich tosspots with servants at our beck and call.

This is not befitting of my pomposity!

 

[Slopsy]

Why am I not a rich tosspot!

 

[Axver]

What's with being born to non-wealthy people, seriously.

 

[Slopsy]

I reckon. I want a butler. Actually no, I want to BE a butler. That would be too cool.

 

[Axver]

Cool, you can be my butler! I'd hate to do the job myself, but I could definitely use one.

 

[Slopsy]

Awesome. But no, wait, I'd have to have a sex change. Female butlers aren't half as cool.

 

[Axver]

No, no, I'd suggest female butlers is a sign of being progressive and stuff.

And I'm all about being progressive.

 

[Slopsy]

Naaah, it's just not the same! I always imagine really good butlers with moustaches. I will never have a moustache


Actually that's not strictly true.

 

[Axver]

Hahaha I remember that. See, you can totally be a butler.

 

[Slopsy]

Gooood. : drops out of uni :

 

[Axver]

Now I just need to work out how I'm meant to pay you.

 

[Slopsy]

You better pay me well.

Hahah in the same place as that moustache photo, I found my favourite photo of me ever.

 

[Axver]

I think in the past I suggested 10c a month?

And hahahah that's great.

 

[Slopsy]

SAUSAGE FEST.

I am...unhappy with this arrangement. I'll go on strike!

 

[Axver]

Will 20c and daily bacon do?

 

[Slopsy]

...

It would have to be INCREDIBLY good bacon.

 

[Axver]

30c, and whatever bacon I can find?
