    Explain punk "credibility"?

    "Punk" to me simply means DIY. Not much more or less.

    Extreme Cheapskates

    I could probably afford to be MORE extreme but I tend to be really cheap within healthy parameters. I guess it's part of the territory when you have a fine arts degree ;)

    11 warning signs of depression

    I think another thing to keep in mind on this front is that getting what you want or good news is NOT a cure. I think there is a type of depression - 'atypical depression' that has this particular trait of going away when something good happens, but always coming back. It sounds like I'm trying...

    What is your "play-along" set-up?

    Actress and Rapper Natina Reed R.I.P.

    Aw, Blaque are the only famous people that I got an autograph from in person (don't worry I was like 11) Kind of strange how she was sort of Left Eye's protege, considering what happened to her

    What kind of strings do you use?

    I'm still experimenting but I find myself keep going back to Dunlop nickel-plated steels (working my way up to heavy gauge). They sound nice new and old - while with D'Addarios (which seem to be the standard round almost?) I can't stand the "fresh" sound/feel. But due to a string emergency and a...

    Do you "personalize" your bass?

    I'm into it depending on the instrument but my bass is sort of sharp black and white so I like it relatively clean and sleek, at least for now Hopefully one day I'll have one that I enjoy roughing up a bit though

    What's Your Bass/Guitar's Name?

    Mine is called Delancey but I don't exclusively stick with girl names (my guitar is Fritz)

    Just went there for an emergency single-string need (unfortunately due to user error ha ha) we'll see how it goes!

    If you tried to 'make it' and failed, are you sorry?

    I think the key word here is "try" I mean I really wanted to make it for whatever reason I would feel much worse about myself down the road if I didn't bother at all

    Starting something...and keeping it going??

    Thanks guys the advice IS much appreciated! Don't worry though, I've never gone out with a really specific sound/"vision" in mind and in fact I don't even really know what mine is. If I did, I would just try and become a solo artist for now. I don't like restricting other people either - I just...

    Starting something...and keeping it going??

    The money thing sort of makes sense but what about when it never even comes close to that point? And it seems like each time at least one of the other people is "so excited" to start making some music but they just seem to...change their minds. There's a pretty decent chance I'm the problem...

    Starting something...and keeping it going??

    Ok I hate to start a new thread since there's probably something similar but I wasn't sure what I would search for so if it's a played out topic just lock/ignore ANYWAY I've only been playing for a few years and I got to the point where I actually wanted to create music, and with other people...
