hey y'all, name's liam dubois, just a grad student here at asu studyin' so's i can look into gettin' my own record label after i graduate. yeah, i might be a prince and all, but the only thing i'm interested in rulin's the radio.

Oh, right… I miss out then, boo! But, I mean, yay for vocalists and musicians, obviously! And it’s still, like, crazy awesome that you want to give back in such a big way! But I get it, I always think of dance stuff first – it’s not even my major, I just love it – and I forgot for a minute there that recording studios were a thing, so I guess we’re even? Although I’m not about to put a load of money into the school so maybe you’re coming out ahead… 

I think most people that aren’t involved with the radio or in a music major forget that they exist, so I really wouldn’t feel too bad about it. And hey, it ain’t a competition, I just feel like it’s the right thing for me. I know not everyone is able to give back in such a big way, but I’m able to, so why not? Especially since I got a chance that the other Isle kids didn’t get until much later in life. It’s only right I give back to them so that they can have the life they deserve here. Not to, uh, get all sappy on you.

Good for you, man. The school can always use the help. I’m donating my time on fixing a few things around the school before helping the drama class with any special projects they may need with building.

Fixing things like what? Anything big? I know my way around a tool belt if it becomes a more-than-one-man job.

ajaxapostolos‌:

Exactly! You’re doing the music kids a huge solid. You’re like their dad or fairy god father! Or both.

I’m not exactly doing it for the credit, though. I just want the kids who might not have this stuff readily available elsewhere to have access to it, you know? I’ll tell you what, though. This has really got me thinking how little time we got left here.

Ally: That's so odd. I very much felt another person's presence over your phone but that's interesting. I find that visualization is easiest in the darkness with all senses willingly cut off.

Liam: You felt another person over my phone? You been messing with the Shadowman, Al? Got some voodoo powers I ain't even know about? That is a good tip, although it might be kind of hard to see the walls without the lights.

Turtle: It could be if you're a slave to the rhythm of it! We're so good that we could have it almost be like a metronome.

Liam: Sell it as one, then. I'm sure piano teachers could benefit from something so synchronized.

Hey, that’s a pretty brilliant idea, big bro. Feel like putting my name on that donation with yours? You know, Dubois family solidarity?

Nice try, bro. But you ain’t the one about to graduate. Gotta leave my mark on the school, you gotta get your own.

Coolio, Liam but like what type of equipment are we talking about here? Also can anyone have access to said equipment or just the music nerds.

The music studio ain’t just for “music nerds.” It’s always been for everyone, and more people should use it. But I’m talking about replacing all the amps, speakers, mics, anything I can, really.

[liamdubcis]

waverlytriton‌:

I think this is a great idea Liam. I don’t personally use it but I do like to paint near the studio to enjoy the music. The school can always use better equipment around here so I know people will be grateful for it.

That’s what I’m hoping for, that people will be able to find a new love for music, whether they’re experienced or not. It’s gonna be a good place to learn though, if you ever change your mind about using it.

[liamdubcis]

ajaxapostolos‌:

Do it! Those of us in a position to donate stuff should, it’s way fun to give back. Plus, professional equipment is always more useful. Imagine if we didn’t have professional machines in the gym, it would be a disaster!

If we didn’t have professional equipment in the gym, my ass wouldn’t be going to the gym. And the music kids deserve the upgrade just as much as the body builders. They work hard, and some of them want to perform for a living. They’ll be able to record quality albums now and hopefully make it big.

faciliersfreddie‌:

Now there’s a good ass idea if I ever heard one. I mean, music program around here’s got some talent that deserves to make it big, if I do say so myself. What’s in it for you, though? You really just an angel of music sent here to help us out or something?

I’m offended you think I got some kind of ulterior motive, Freds. Thought we was friends and you go and do me dirty like that? Nah, nothing in it for me, just my way of giving back before I end up leaving the place. Although the more I think about it, the less I wanna leave. It just doesn’t feel like my time, you know? Might see if there’s some kind of TA position or something I can snatch up to stick around a bit more.

[liamdubcis]

thediegodevil‌:

Then do it. I don’t think anyone’s got a problem with an upgrade. I sure don’t.

Didn’t think you would, since you’d be benefiting from it. 3 Wishes could use it to record an actual album, and y’all wouldn’t have to bother with reserving a time slot at a professional spot. It’s all gonna be right here.

[liamdubcis]

emmadcnati·:

Oh my gosh, a revamp to the dance studio? I mean, I super appreciate that we have a space dedicated to it already, and it’s all still totally serviceable for sure, but some replacements and other improvements would be absolutely loved by all of us! Or…did you mean art studio? Because that’s, like, a total bummer for me personally, but new supplies and equipment anywhere in the school would be pretty amazing. And just think: if you spend enough (or make enough fuss about it) you might get your name on a plaque in there or something!

Uh... recording studio. Music production major, sorry. I tend to forget that other studios exist, always thinking about my craft, you know? And it’s been a while since they’ve updated the soundboards and things in there, just thought it’d be a nice way to, you know, show my appreciation to the school for everything I’ve learned over the years.

[liamdubcis]

frankiefearless·:

Dude, that sounds like an awesome idea! I’d love to mess around with some new equipment, maybe even try my hand at writing a few songs or something. Maybe.

Right? It could definitely use it, I swear I heard some poppin’ in one of the speakers during playback. And I know the school will handle it if I tell them, but I think all new equipment will do some good for both the music program and the students in it.

Ally: Of course, and sideways and waysides! Thank you for letting her know. If you're not hanging out with her, who are you with right now???

Liam: It's no problem. I'm not hanging out with anyone though, it's just me, myself and I in the studio. Trying to picture the renovations, you know? Actually being in the space helps the visualization process.

Turtle: Do you think that we could record the sounds of our tennis matches and sell them as white noise records to people?

Liam: Isn't white noise supposed to be soothing and pleasant? Don't really see how a ball smacking against a wall is either of those things.

Ally: I've looked up and down and down and up and everywhere in between and I simply cannot find my dear Freddie anywhere! She wouldn't happen by chance to be with you, would she? Out of curiosity, of course.

Liam: Did you try frontways and backways? She's a sneaky one, wouldn't be surprised if she's in the last place you look. I haven't seen her around though. If I see her before you do, I'll tell her you were looking for her.

[liamdubcis]

I'm thinking of donating new studio equipment to the school. I know, I know we already got some good stuff in there, but let's be honest. It's nowhere near on the same level as the pros.
