Chicago fedora guys be like “m’lört”

Car Seat Headrest? It’s pronounced Rivers Huomo

I’d like to think I wasn’t part of the “indie sleaze” moment, but I was given an asymmetrical haircut at a party more than once.

@NickMarzluf @foryourhealthoh @EMHudsonlives @CadenClinton Both the plot and the crust have thickened

@RyanWasoba @foryourhealthoh @EMHudsonlives Might have been before we got there bc look at @CadenClinton using god damn fucking scissors to cut his pizza

it was @EMHudsonlives actually that ate a daiya pizza every day

In November, @foryourhealthoh stayed at my studio for two weeks. I haven’t been able to find my pizza cutter ever since. Not making any accusations, but it seems like more than a coincidence.

The FULL THING IS HERE!!! Changing Course is out in all streaming services!!! It's been a labor of love getting here and I hope you enjoy! Recorded by us, mixed by us, mastered by @RyanWasoba distrokid.com/hyperfollow/in…

I bet there are some people who are vegan because they hate animals and just want nothing to do with them.

@kississippiPHL Bold take!

@anotherRahulJ My favorite Jimmy Eat World album is their 2001 self-titled featuring the hit single “Salt Sweat Sugar”

Ate a bunch of cashews and then listened to the second best Jimmy Eat World record #postnutclarity

@emperorx I still haven’t checked out your music because I haven’t listened to Emperor I through Emperor IX, so I don’t think I’d understand

In 1998 I was the only Emperor X. In 2003 Remo named a drum head after me. By '19, it was an anime meme too. In '21 two autotune rappers tried taking the name. In '24 it's still all that, + 29 dumb guy foreign policy hot take burner accounts. I gotta rein in this brand.

Dave Grohl joke involving the rhythm method.

@khamsinband I’m biased because of professional/personal relationships with them, but I always appreciated Foxing above their peers for their ambition and complete lack of anything resembling pop punk in their music and (especially) vocals

Foxing's status as emo revival flagbearers is deserved (they really are one of the best from that period), yet perplexing to me. I see them more in line with artsy, maximalist indie bands like Anathallo, Broken Social Scene, and post-rock in general. 1/

Tim Walz is the kinda dude that buys a pair of white New Balances every year and demotes the previous year’s pair to the status of “mowin’ shoes”

New @foxing single is sick and indicative of the risks and vibes you'll find all over their new record. I was a fly on the wall for much of it, and the band asked me to write a "warts and all" bio for the album. You can read it on their Spotify profile and probably other places.

@emperorx 3) I'm starting to view loudness as almost an accessibility issue. Don't necessarily mix/master for folks listening on busted phone speakers or Dollar Tree earbuds, but also don't assume people are listening in ideal situations, are able to turn it up above background noise, etc

SELF-PRODUCING MUSICIANS: I'd be grateful for your thoughts. I'm researching the foundations of EBU/RIAA standardization, specifically LUFS target recommendations for broadcast and streaming. Reply with two things. 1) What integrated LUFS do you aim for with your masters? 2) Why?

@emperorx 2) With that said, most normalization algorithms do NOT turn things up if delivered too quiet. So (other than keeping a specific track lower for its cohesion in an album) I see no reason to ever deliver something at -15 or quieter
