I read Catcher in the Rye last weekend. I don't read much, and I'm sure I was supposed to read that in High School. I'm not really sure what I think about it yet. It's been on my long list of "some day I'll get around to reading that book" books. More later when I've processed it some more.

I also got around to watching a film that has been on the list for a while: The Fisher King. After watching it, I'm certain that I've seen a few clips before, but I've never watched it. I enjoyed it immensely, and it served as an interesting viewing after having read the aforementioned book.

It's a good week pubski friends. I raise my bottle in your general direction

I see you are watching the synth class by flac ! Good choice. Quality content.

Oh. And I still have about 20 pages of Crime and Punishment to finish... from when I started reading it about 20 years ago. But i just couldn't take his whining anymore... man up and either admit to the crime, or shut up and live with it, ya putz!

yah... This is right up my alley, and I already have a deep love for all things flac so this is like... one of the single greatest things to come from 2020.

Thought I recognized that lanky feller ;)

Glad you're enjoying it! I'm happy that I've been able to upload pretty consistently, so far I've done a new video every day since Sunday. Expect an in depth tour of the Modulator sections imminently...

Edit: holy shit I have some feelings about modulators, video ended up being a full hour long lol I could probably have talked for another hour as well...

You're not necessarily the target market, but I assert that Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake is a better, more modern story that hits almost all of the exact same notes that Catcher does, despite in some ways being its total opposite - A trip away from New York instead of to it, for example.

If you're interested, I'd be curious to see your thoughts on it if you read it.
