I yap about music a lot, and I love music a lot. slightly unhinged, but in a chill way.
I'm also
@diymusiciscool
— making lots of lofty promises over there.
what the fuck is this garbage
band name look cool? go to show
heard 30 seconds and seems neat? go to show
you only know the first opener of 5 band ticket? go to show
@MrMcFootball
It's from the weird pop artist side of Twitter lol
Where they think if you're not an obsessed fan who knows every songs, you're stealing a ticket from people who deserve to be there more.
How they view everything is wrong.
does anyone else have artists they love and listen to regularly, but you've not listened to most of their music? like you stick to an album or two you fell in love with.
I feel like I do this a lot. when I finally listen tho it's like, oh shit there's even more bangers
@GrubbinStubs
Yes! It's so good.
I got a free ticket to see El Ten Eleven once, listened to a couple songs beforehand and was into it. Those two dudes were so incredible, I've been a huge fan since. I have a number of stories like that.
hi friends, my grandma had a really bad fall on sunday, and it's not gonna be ok. i've been using this site to ignore reality a bit, but I can't anymore.
there's nothing they can do besides give her oxygen now, and my family might pull it tonight.
i won't be on here much
Spotify homies like me who wanted the lyrics for

Diy/Emo-ish Bands with Upcoming (Maybe?) 2024 Releases
This is non-official, while a chunk of these artists 'have' announced releases, some have only hinted, some have been recording, others I may just be manifesting.
It's also kinda limited to bands I'm aware of.
🫡🫡🫡
It's almost Valentine's Day!
I thought it'd be cool to make cute V-Day cards for a bunch of diy bands, so I did just that. I made them in a simpler aesthetic that I like..and then a website to put them on, 'cause I'm bonkers.
Hope you like them!
idk how to ask a small artist i like about never receiving a cd or tape i ordered, sometimes even marked as shipped. like, i don't wanna bother you, or make you spend more money. i'm ok, just bummed
/I know this is piracy, that's part of why I'm floating the idea/
Would y'all be interested in/would anyone get mad at, me doing small monthly runs of mixtapes? Full of cool new music I liked from the previous month, and you wouldn't know what was on it until you got it.
@Casey
We've been gaslit for years by him and his administration, I think it's perfectly reasonable to question it. I think he does have it, it makes sense, but I don't think people doubting it makes them crazy.
yes that, top of the list.
But also I can't really choose cause

I have this fun thing I like to often do, where I'll join Discord servers that are full of people I would surely get along with.
then I just, never chat or open it, cause it's just...too much anxiety.
The month long reign of lawn skeletons is ending, and I listened to a very normal not unhinged amount of music during it.
Truly may not have made it through without putting my focus on music. A good chunk of these made each day worth it 💜
7x7 cause 25 wasn't enough
chat, this is real
I'm doing a DIY 90s Country cover compilation. I will be doing custom physical releases, and anyone who contributes will receive one for free. All profits, after costs are covered, will be donated to Partners in Health.
I love this idea, and hope you do too.
I'm doing a cover compilation!
I joked about this recently, and have 4 artists on board already.
If you're interested, leave a reply below.
I will post more details soon if there's enough interest. I'm hoping for a March 2025 release, songs would need submitted by February.
well I quit my 3 am job today.
so I'm about to have a lot more time for internet shenanigans. (my other job is going to give me more hours, I should be totally fine 🤙 fuck this particular Casey's though)
Since people are waking up, I need to talk about something.
I witnessed a crime last night, and it shook me.
um, here maybe this news report will help.
have anything to say
@CinemaStare
?
Woah a hit tweet.
I tweet about music and small bands a lot, and kinda never shut up, if you want to follow.
Check out these dudes who are finishing their first LP right now, and the silly music video I made for them.
@95corolla
Thank you for choosing Las Fortunitas Tortilla Chips. You'll find that Las Fortunitas chips are Oh, so bueno!!
Also so bueno,
@pacingmusic
's tortilla chip bag song.
I really can't say how much I appreciate all the support you've all shown me and my silly ideas, for so long, but especially right now. I honestly didn't expect many people to be excited about this thing or want to participate. This is really rad, thx
It's fitting I got these in on the same day.
These bands have both left big impacts on me through their songs that resonate hard yet leave me hopeful of the future.
They're just out here making stellar music while also being wonderful people.
I'm happy we share the same earth.
A coworker of mine is a social media manager, and her son is in a band that plays all around STL. So we got talking about the things I do/make for DIY bands I like, just because I want to.
She got real annoyed at me when she learned how much time I spend vs. money I make [$0]
DIY Music is Cool has "launched"
Most of my plans for this are still nebulous thoughts in my brain, but I'll be posting more music things over there. I'll still yell about music here, but when I make anything cool, it'll be posted over there.
and I'm starting a newsletter.
Hi!
This is no longer a
@FullBlownMltdwn
parody account. This is now the home of DIY Music is Cool. This is where I'll be posting more music recs or things I make for artists.
If you'd like, you can sign up for my newsletter!
we...still use email, right?
Not to be annoying but I just think it’s wild that I get to call Aaron my partner. He is sweet, kind, funny, creative, and chaotic. I don’t think I’m half the person he is and I don’t deserve him at all but I just have so much admiration for everything he is 💞
I love y'all so much
I may be weird and not talk to many of you as much as I'd like, but I truly think of you all as friends. I'm so excited to meet a handful of you this week. Without this community, the last 6 months may have been the final straw for me, I'm glad I'm still here
I'm done trying to converse with customers, I've had two people try to talk about Trump with me this morning. How are you gonna see this person and go "I bet they like trump"
Incredible.
Last night,
@bradtaste
reviewed the new
@StrelitziaAZ
album Winter. Watch him go from ‘meh’ to 'incredible' by the end of this album that took a staggering seven years to bring to life.
Happy Birthday

We literally haven't stopped talking since we started, and you quickly became the light of my life. I can't think of anyone I'd would've rather had by my side during this rollercoaster of a year, and I can't wait to experience what's next with you.
After doing the wrong thing for a very long time, then remembering I really needed to do laundry, I have discovered some footage from the future.
The beautiful future, that could become a reality if
@CarlyCosgrovePA
lets
@tenmosummerband
be their backup dancer.
This morning I refused to work in this disgusting kifchen anymore, so I stopped making food and started cleaning. And I won't cook any food until I'm done. Customers are mad 🤷🏻♀️
I just finished scraping, sweeping, and mopping the floor. Turns out the tiles are white, not dark grey
Take an edible, walk in the museum and stare at a Monet for 30 minutes, walk 2 minutes to the zoo and watch penguins for a while, then grab a sandwich and sit in the park watching the fountains. 10/10 day, and if you steal the sandwich it's all free
Holy shit.
What is happening
A thing I made is on the Chillwavve YouTube channel?? WHAT
If you haven't, go watch it. It's rad as hell, and the song by
@95corolla
is even better.
I'm going to sit here and not think about all the cuts that need slight timing fixes
