I pair mine with a take 5 which sure isn’t fully analogue all the way through - but neither is the xd iirc. Either way take 5 has analogue oscillators and filter which are excellent.

“Celebrating life at a music festival” that was literally right next to Gaza - a place that many experts describe as an open-air prison or concentration camp?? Is that how life gets celebrated, in your opinion?? Or is life celebrated when women and children are slaughtered, in the tens of thousands, by US bombs?? Oh wait no the IDF celebrated life of the hostages when they themselves kill their own, right? The only people in Israel that celebrate life are the leftists who oppose ethno-nationalism and apartheid.

This water crisis is the result of climate change coupled with massive plundering from multinational corporations like Coca Cola who essential consume so much water in their production of soft drinks that nothing is left for the local population.

UK is the origin and arguable epicenter of the western world (US obviously the other)…?? But look at Econ grad programs in US.

I’ve been doing this since 22 I’m already fuckin cooked. In a title 1 district no less but whatever you find a way. Pretty sure if I work for the union I still contribute to the same pension which is chill.

My pension is where it’s at I get 80% of my three highest years and can retire at 60. Public school teacher in Massachusetts. I’m 31 and salary next year be $88k so with another 30 years, 80% of whatever I end up making is pretty solid.

Always really liked flipper bass lines

Western mass teacher $84k, at $88k in the fall when I’ll start my 10th year teaching.

i know this organizer and where's she's active. fantastic work bringing community members together with the goal of palestinian liberation. a shame to see such low remarks against her - shows just how low the opposition will go when they're desperate.

genuinlely curious how your husband feels about driving/using a car. it's a very car dependent region (the whole country is as i'm sure you know). but you will need at least one car. could manage living in boston without a car. i know folks who do it in western mass but it's tough.

great proximity to not only new york (can make it to queens in like 2 hrs 45 without traffic) and boston but also burlington and montreal, portland isn't too far either. weirdly the western part of new england is kinda a little more central to places. i love living in western mass. great little arts culture, a nice mix of rural and urban. more affordable.

also look at the opposite side of the ucl quarters - there's a fair amount of luck involved. we draw on the opposite side of bayern, city, and real madrid, there's a better chance we make the semis an possibly finals.

banger. not robotic just seems very cautious. don’t have more to add than girldepang said

Ted lasso season three was probably the worst tv I’ve seen in a really long time

Seventh grade ELA we teach four novels - well one is vignettes (house on mango street) and the other is drama form (monster) - kids love it. Just finished the giver (still slaps and kids love it) and the kids are always hyped when they actually finish a book, it’s cool to see. But we also pair the novels with non-fiction, poetry, etc for that “thinking across texts” and synthesis sorta stuff. Good times.

There’s a handful of schools in my district that still have libraries due to limited space. And yet, as you say, admin always wants us to “foster a culture of reading”…make it make sense, please!!

take 5 is great i have one as my main poly that i pair with an xd (and an ms20 when getting a lil crazy). oscillators and filters on the take 5 are analogue but i'm pretty everything post-filter is digital. doesn't really matter to me it sounds fantastic and is easy to dial in.

start slow with the metronome stay loose. rhythm is all about timing haha. can count subdivisions til the cows come home, but just start strumming with a metronome, slowly, like 50bpm or something, just quarter notes, then eighth notes, then sixteenth notes, then try triplets.

oh interesting i'd think with the patchbay it's pretty vast. but i'd be curious to hear why you got rid of the matriarch...?? i'm in no need for a new synth anytime soon but i'm considering the matriarch way down the line...

idk but i love drive like jehu who are definitely post hardcore but also i think some would say a little emo? what bout like rites of spring? a touch of emo right? the term emo is so vast, some stuff that's emo i genuinely hate but some stuff i really like. at the drive in slap, imo. maybe the whole label/genre stuff is helpful at first to give audience a general sense of a band's sound but the boundaries are so vague, blurred, and overlapped, that it's nearly impossible to talk about genre as a stable thing...but yeah i think they're all probably related. flipper are probably a big band to consider in the post-punk to post-hardcore trajectory. maybe not who tf knows certainly not me.

well what you should oo in my opinion is buy a synthesizer then turn up the resonance and just sweep the filter knob for basically ever then call it a day

i have these two korg synths (and a take 5) and they're really all you need for under $1k
