My mandolin calluses are still iffy, but I think I’ve officially moved from Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star to Boil Them Cabbage Down. Which means I need a reliable source for the shittiest drum loops EVAR, preferably in a format that can be directly imported into GarageBand. Because what does the world need, if not abominably […]
… is having to clean up after someone who vomited in the shower, because it’s your turn to clean the bathroom and you shoulda done it before the party.
Fabulously important update! The culprit was a housemate, not a guest, and even better, the type of person who doesn’t even need to be shamed into cleaning […]
