Anyone else like this?

Moderation? What's that?

And it applies to everything - I will get into a certain band really intensely, only to never listen to them again six months later

3. Hi.
Me too. I'm struggling for moderation. In my discussions in GD too, I keep trying to remember that for the most part, I am talking to people I like.

:hi:

5. I don't have those either. I have to use the buttons on the remote control to change the volume.

T, quit worrying about extremes. Focus on the modulations and you will find moderation. Think of all the bands you moderately like.
Cut the reverb and increase the gain!

7. I'm like that sometimes.
It depends on my mood. I tend to be moody.

8. Kerouac said it best
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”


So stop asking questions about your fucking knobs and go put on some music you like tonight and won't give a crap about in six months.

:toast:

9. Of course you do... you're a male. Hell, even "switches" is an exaggeration!



You want potentiometers and rheostats, drop the "Y" chromosome.
