status update

today and yesterday have both been pretty uneventful, i'm on break right now and since it's really cold and muggy here there aren't many opportunities to go outside and do fun things. one good thing for me though is that my guitar shipped, so yay! can't wait for it to come, it says something about being here by next friday but honestly i wouldn't be surprised if it came sooner, a lot of orders do that

i've been convincing myself all day to not spend money, since i literally just spent 200+ dollars, but i honestly still have a good chunk of money left. i mean nothing huge exactly for right now but i have pretty good hope for the future

i plan on getting some basic starter equipment and shit obviously, and i really wanna work on getting a distortion pedal early on

today i'm still listening to a bunch of random shit on my soundcloud on repeat, bunch of hmh/bsod. i really wanna get rid of my spotify premium and switch completely over to soundcloud since its way cheaper and i like it more because it has a wider array of options. but im currently on a duo plan rn

it kinda just feels like a huge countdown right now until i can do stuff, i wanna put effort rn into like studying but my motivation is so fried i can barely do it but i wanna put real effort towards this so i'm gonna try as hard as i can

anyways thats honestly it

im so excited, i ordered a guitar yesterday (a little worried cause it hasnt charged me yet but oh well) and it said itd be here within 3-5 business days. i wanted to do express shipping which would get it here in 2 days but i was like why spend more money honestly it'll come either way

it looks sick as shit and i'm so excited, and i wanna post myself playing (if i ever get good enough) on here cause i think that'd be cool

now i just need to worry about other equipment as well

i honestly think that elitists are fake music enjoyers, liking music just because it makes you look cool or unique takes away from the whole point of it

music diary day one - Hong Kong Rocks

today is christmas, so as a small gif to myself, i thought i'd start a small passion project (whatever you wanna call it) of mine; a blog dedicated to my music. for as long as i can remember, music has been such an amazing part of my life, influencing many of my thoughts, emotions, sometimes even actions. i think music is one of the purest forms of art, and in this blog, i want to show people new music and even help others find maybe a new appreciation for it.

today, i find myself hyperfixated on a demo by an artist i've loved for a long time; Grausamkeit, B.S.o.D, or Heroin Makes Happy, as his name is in this project.

Heroin Makes Happy is a dungeon synth/dark ambient side project created by Andreas Bettinger in 1999, and would be one of the few projects of his that completely shyed away from any sort of guitars; simply drums and synths. The demo/album i'm focusing on today, as it's one of, if not, my favorite from this project, is Hong Kong Rocks. Hong Kong Rocks was released in 1999, the same year Heroin Makes Happy was formed, and consists of 10 untitled songs, which includes 3 bonus tracks.

personally, favorite tracks of mine would include Untitled IV, Untitled VII, and Bonus Song II. of course, i think the whole demo itself is phenomenal. andreas' fast drumming goes perfectly with the paranoia-inducing janky synths which give a feeling of loathing boosted by the low production quality and the overall morbid feeling of the name of the story itself. it's honestly even better when you know andreas' full story; it's really such a unique tape, especially for it being from the late 90s. something about this entire demo just gives me the greatest, most unique feeling of unease, dragged on by bettinger's relentless growling, hateful vocals.

overall, i give this album a perfect 10/10, there was absolutely no track on it i found myself to dislike; everything goes together in its own unique way, and listening to the whole thing at once and really, really focusing on it, just feels like the best fever dream (or worse, depending on your stance). Heroin Makes Happy is one of my favorite projects of all time by bettinger; i love almost every release he's put out under this name. i'm glad to know i can come back here and rate his tracks pretty much anytime i want to.
