A Fierce Turd

        I honestly just felt like typing a lot of things that no one will read. This blog will mainly be used for documenting things going on with Windley but I also won't be able to  resist the urge to write up a bunch of other crap. Anyways, the plan is to record soon. Several songs have been completely written while some are still missing key parts like... lyrics and endings. Sometimes I fair well with forcing the completion of a song but that's obviously not a healthy habit for anyone trying to write songs... unless you're a genius... which none of us are. I'm pretty satisfied with how these songs have fleshed out with the majority of them being made nearly three years ago and usually I'm the one who goes from being excited about a new tune to quickly thinking that a huge mistake has been created. A more specific part of the plan is to record this batch of songs ourselves in a storage unit. We're still preparing for that step and hopefully the headaches of that process will be kept to a somewhat minimum. Here's a MS painting of our storage unit setup: 

        As you can see Andrew's guitar is green, Devin's bass is red, Conor has a drum set, and Garrett usually stands in the hallway. I wasn't able to fit all of Devin's pedals into the painting, but I assure you he has many. Considers himself a "tone connoisseur'. His words not mine. Andrew has a modest pedalboard because his tone comes from whatever he had for lunch that day. Conor has a drum set.  Well... that's all for now.

The Devin Tour Diary 2023

 I spent the majority of the month of November on tour playing bass with Tourneforte. I had a great time and I’m going to recap it to the best of my ability on here. In true Windleyhub fashion, I am not proofreading this.  Day One: Camp Transylvania, Greenville SC  We kicked off the tour in Greenville SC at the third annual Camp Transylvania. This was the third and final day of the fest. We played right after our friends in the North Carolina band Condado, who are super tight and entertaining. We took the stage at 5PM. I usually remember to take my hat and glasses off when I perform since I move around a lot. I forgot to on this occasion, and my glasses flew off my face onto the stage where I at some point stepped on them. After the set, I helped load out gear and had Andrew pick me up to meet with our good friends Justin and Meleah at a Halloween party their friends were having. We got to meet some cool people all in various degrees of corpsepaint, including the legendar...

Top 50 Greatest Things: #49

 My top 50 greatest things Number 49: PS1 (just the look) This pick is mainly concerned with the look of the first iteration of the Playstation. I just like it a lot. Great shape and color and the colors in the logo really pop. Ken Kutaragi is responsible for the development of the console and Manabu Sakamoto did the logo and apparently actual design of the console. I mean it's probably my favorite console even if it's just based on how cool it looks. Most of my favorite games can be played on it. The controllers are pretty sweet too. Maybe not as sexy as the PS2 ones, but you hand me the ones without the analog stick, boy howdy. I was really tempted to buy an anniversary pack at Target that had some goodies that surrounded the console, but I didn't go for it. Someone got me a grey shirt with the logo on it just because of how much I love the look of this thing.

Top 50 Greatest Things: #35

 My top 50 greatest things. Number 35: Standing and crouching to scan a movie selection at any store I love looking at shelves filled with movies. It's a little taxing when it comes to the lower shelves. I do this at Barnes and Noble at least twice a month, but any store where it can happen is just as good.
