Used instruments

For my dollar I will almost always prefer used music gear over new. Not only can you typically find something much nicer for the same price as a new instrument, but it’s a super cool feeling to pick up and play something that has stories to tell. Cigarette smoke stained plastic, dings and scratches from a previous life on the road, fret wear from channeling someone else’s creativity in a past life. It’s rad to feel like you’re just the latest steward of something that has had a long life before you! (for the nerds: I seek out cheap Japan-made Fenders, the J-bass is a ’99, Bullet is an ‘83 that I modded with Porter S90 pickups, the Peavey 2x12 is from ‘94. Everything in this pic together cost me like $800 excluding the pedals and case)

Support your local everything

Log off Amazon prime and step into the real world. Go to a local physical store in your community. Look your neighbor in the eye and put money in their hand. Go to a local venue and hear what musicians in your community are creating. Talk to them about it afterwards. Buy a T-shirt or cd or whatever they’re selling, they’ll make more money from that than from thousands of streams. Seriously, Spotify pays a fraction of a penny per stream. Forget about Starbucks. Check out a local coffee shop instead. Learn your barista’s name and tip them. Go to your local book store and library. Look around and see what book covers catch your eye. Ask employees for recommendations instead of just reading whatever’s trending on #booktok.  Go to your local museums, farmers market, theaters, restaurants, whatever your community has going on. When you go local, you see your community in a new way. You make friends and feel more connected to the people around you. You will discover new things organically instead of relying on an algorithm. You keep your money circulating in your community instead of making billionaires richer. You will have a greater appreciation for where you live. P.S. Pay In Cash

I downloaded some old pictures before deleting my facebook and started crying at 2011 me because she deserved better.

Everything I do now, I do for you.
