Yeah, I guess it is a skill issue, but I did the best I could. Fuck it, have a nice life.

He was running so casually, like he knew he could switch the Turbo on at any second. I choose to believe he got away.

They got called out, and still pressed play, so you won. I don't make the rules, I just point them out when I feel like it.

Being neurodiverse can make you feel like you're existing in a different reality. Music is about making people feel, but not necessarily always "good" things. Antitypical has been described as "the soundtrack to the upside-down", this is how we decorate our experience. 🎧 youtu.be/EGQspkQAXvU?...

JD Vance looks like a youth pastor trying to relate to the goth kids like "you know who else wanted to die?"

JD Vance saw a photo of Slayer from their Show No Mercy days and went "THAT'S IT! THAT'S THE LOOK I WANT!"

JD Vance looks like he sings for a Mallcore tribute band called Pancakes At The Disco.

I make somewhat of an effort to avoid learning about the politics of musicians or entertainers I like because I was once really into black metal.

Why am I supposed to care about what he thinks? I can develop my own opinions. But good for him for making a career out of being a glorified fan, I guess?

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Lately I've been thinking that there's no real reason to continue forcing my music out there anymore, but if fuckin Conner, Tanner, and Brantlee are gonna bring their fuckin fitted tees and camo hats into our culture of outsiders, that means I still got a goddamn job to do!

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

I've just become aware of a band called Lakeview that combines pop country with (I fucking guess it's) "metal". They are an abomination.

In South Carolina, you can expect at least 2 kids, and dogs in any given bar on a Saturday up until about 5pm.

The more I think about it, that may have been part of why around 10 years ago I started making an effort to know less about bands I like.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

I didn't know that, but it makes sense. It's one thing if it's an occasional funny jab at something, but he has become the "old man yells at cloud" meme.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Lost interest in Mastodon years ago because I got tired of hearing Brent Hinds be a troll at the start of every album cycle. Seemed the guy was always complaining about something. He's been out of Mastodon over 5 months, and he's still complaining. But everyone else was the problem? I doubt it.

I think Yuya Uemura vs Kyle Fletcher would be good.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Don't usually remember dreams, but when I do they tend to mean something. I'm back in high school, going thru the motions when I realize "wait, I've already graduated, I can just leave!" My legs are heavy, but I'm leaving, and yelling my frustrations about being fooled into staying for so long.

In addition to acting, he's the current executive producer of MLW.

We get about half our groceries there, usually fruits, and vegetables. They have good dips, salsa, and snacks too. Great for shopping on the cheap. Decent beers too.

I can't believe in anything anymore, I bet there's never even been a man from Nantucket.

I had the honor of interview TONY SCHIAVONE today, ahead of tomorrow nights Collision in Roanoke!!! We talked about his adolescent wrestling fandom, WCW, and of course, @allelitewrestling.com I can’t thank Mr. Schiavone enough. I’m still over the moon. #WrestleSky #AEW t.co/Z2Azh2YBpo

Made this for my wife, put it out today for her birthday. I describe it as her own personal superhero film score. This is the soundtrack for journeying to the top of a mountain to find your true power. 🎧 youtu.be/rdu7r3ddDl4?...

#AEWDynamite moved quickly, and let us experience so many different emotions throughout the show. The in-ring action was great, reasonable fan service, several stories moved forward, and some of it's carrying into Collision as well. Zero complaints from me. 🤼‍♂️

$30 for ESPN is batshit crazy.

Vinyl is kind of a big deal imo.

Sometimes my ego speaks up, and I get a little down about the state of things, but inevitably, I remember that I make music because I love it. I always have, and no amount of generative AI tech bro BS will change that. I won't stop making my art until they pry the guitar from my cold, dead hands.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 06/08/2025

At 36, I noticed things changing. I realized I was now "one of the OGs" in the scene, and my role would be different now. Started making peace with the idea of "never making it", and focused on my personal life. At 44, I have 3 active music projects, all obscure. I can't stop, this is what I do.

The musician's struggle: Wrote my first (terrible) song at 11 years old, I knew maybe 5 chords. Put out my first 2 albums at 16, had them available at the local record store. Started playing live regularly in my 20s, organizing music festivals in my 30s, and made the local paper a couple times.

I'm gonna talk about Death Grips, video games, and being a shoot dad with MxM. 🤼‍♂️

I got familiar with them a couple months back, Unlimited Violence would go well too. I've started to get back into hardcore lately anyway so it was right on time. They've got some great live sets on YouTube.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

He talks about getting back in the ring, and how the 3/4 roll is his personal test for ring readiness in this video. This has been a great series if you haven't seen it. youtu.be/iR9Nde8SZYA?...

Yeah, if it were me, I'd cut Brody and crew a check and let that run for a while. Though I do kinda like that the opening music is different sometimes.

1. Get people addicted to a specific form of technology. 2. Suddenly require personal data to continue using it. 3. ????? 4. Profit!

Some faceless "sports cat" profile was trying to give me shit this morning for my opinion, and then blocked me when I returned the same energy. That is bluesky in a nutshell. Motherfuckers with their fingers in their ears goin "lalalalala". 😆😆😆

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

I've been doing this social media thing for years because "gotta put yourself out there", but I have not enjoyed it for a very long time. I'm a bored stay at home dad during summer break, so I have time, but I'm gonna start using it better. Anything would be more rewarding than posting.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

I got back into wrestling about 2 years ago, and do not research every wrestler. I'm unaware of all that, but not exactly surprised. Wrestlers are people, and generally speaking, people are fucked up. Especially if they're in the entertainment business.

It's always some asshole with no profile picture trying to start some shit. Fucking losers.

Anyway, the G1 tournament this year has been some of the best pro wrestling I've ever seen. And as an added bonus, there's no one in #NJPW with an active sexual assault case! 🤼‍♂️

If you still like WWE after this weekend, you are saying that you are okay with sex trafficking, white supremacy, and concentration camps. Full stop, don't at me, argue with ya mama.

Yeah, that's a wack excuse. I'm far from technologically savvy, and even I know how to find the high seas. If people wanna perform mental gymnastics, they can do it off a cliff.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

I don't like speaking my mind because it's usually a waste of time, and effort falling on ears that are deaf.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Yeah, a lot of people here are okay with things that are ran or programmed by white supremacists. I can't relate.
