  • The general rule of thumb with beats is the first beat is always down and the last beat is up, and right before up is to go to out. So 4/4 would be down, in, out, up. 3/4 would be down, out, up. 2/4 would be down and out in one swing, up. 7/4 would be down, in, in, in, in, out, up. These are not usually strictly followed, but it’s a general guideline.




  • Before my baby was born I used to love whiskey. I wasn’t a heavy drinker but I really enjoyed it and had built up a pretty decent collection. When my wife got pregnant, she couldn’t drink anymore so I couldn’t drink anymore, and now that we’re starting to have drinks again I just don’t have a taste for it. It sucks because I have quite a bit just sitting around now. I’d like to get back into it again, not to drink every night or anything but just to be able to appreciate it again. I like enjoying things. On the plus side I’m now enjoying beer and wine a lot more than I used to, though I don’t drink those very much either. I’ve found more joy in coffee now than booze.





  • I don’t have a single favourite, but a few recent favourites, from my current favourite artist, Jesse Welles:

    “I still don’t know what living costs, but I can tell you what I spent”

    “A bird in its cage loves the song that it sings”

    “As the golden rod fades and short are the days, I wish I could pause ‘em somehow”

    “I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, then again it could be the train”

    He’s got a ton of great political lyrics too but I felt that would be better in a different comment or post. Check him out, especially his two newest albums (Masks Off and Devil’s Den).
