Any skill not used for a while gets a little... rusty.  Practice is the only way to fix that.

Side note, I love my Sunset Shimmer, damn it.  xD

I really, really hate coloring.  I might get around to it eventually, but if someone else wants to take a stab at it, just ask, I’ll give you the psd file.  :P

Tarby wanted to know what horns would sound like on this pending track (what's here is just a cut of the finale of it). I went to town a little bit yesterday to try to do a demo for the demo.

Balancing and stuff isn't perfect because all the things I did needs to be re-recorded anyway (imo atleast) so if you'd like to comment please just focus on the strength of ideas rather than my lack of mastering-OCD.

Also, on the subject of "secrets"

If "both sides are keeping secrets," what does that say about Tarby/his supporters? One side is "keeping secrets" so that they will not continue to be harassed/assaulted/attacked by Tarby's White Knights. The other side is keeping secrets because ... they don't want people to know what a monster Tarby really is behind closed doors?

Looks like Tarby shut down his entire Tumblr.

No, his new SN is Balladoftarby. Chucklefuck can’t handle people pointing out the fact that he monetizes child abuse, I guess.

My Tarby Story

Still have no fricken clue who Tarby is

[hardcover-kpny]

Cause Why Not?

I don't really have an awesome Tarby story like most people do, but I still have one.

Tarby is one of the most open, friendly, and awesome song writers in the community. Very easy to talk to and willing to help when asked advice.

First time I talked to him, I was asking for tabs for Ballad of Autumn Dreams, as it was the first song I had heard by him. At this point, I had disliked anything related to Cupcakes and refused to listen to Something Broke. But nonetheless, he gave me chords for the song. I was nervous about even messaging him, but I never expected to become friends with him as I have.

I remember sometime later (I think a couple months) asking him if he had chords for Nightmare Night (which, I was referring to Glaze's Nightmare Nite) and ended up getting the track his Nightmare Night. I gradually started to look into his music and eventually fell in love with Something Broke and everything related to it (aside from the actual story Cupcakes). Since then, we've talked and talked, and I think our first real good interaction was when he was looking for songs for his Unplugged item. I randomly tossed in the phrase 'Uncooked", referring to Baconmane.

After that, I gradually began to talk to him more and more. Sometimes about music, sometimes about other stuff. I've since became someone who he asks for opinions from on music he's releasing. When that happened, I was shocked. Even moreso that he considered me a friend enough to trust me with that information.

I'll never forget how while at Las Pegasus during the Brony Musician's Panel, he called me out when someone asked who musicians sent unreleased stuff to for opinions. That was the highlight of the convention for me. I was grinning for a while when that happened.

The fact is, he's the type of guitarist I want to be. His solos blow me away and it's some of the best guitar playing in the community. He's friendly, supportive of people who come to him for advice on music-making, and overall my favorite person in the community. I look forward to the day where he and I can legitimately hangout, or maybe even collab on a project.

I love Tarby.

He is one of the most soft-spoken, kind-hearted people I've ever met: not just bronies or fellow musicians, he is one of the kindest, silliest, thoughtful people I've ever encountered.

I bought him a plane ticket just so he could come visit me during my birthday weekend. The list of people for whom I would even consider doing that for is immeasurably small. I like the guy that much.

He was one of the first friends I made during the early, formative days of MLR during various late-night Skype calls, and while we have a veritable mountain of unfinished collabs and musical ideas, I am grateful as fuck that he's been a part of my life so far.

He's eccentric, mirthful, and one of the first people anyone should go to if they're worried they make be taking themselves too seriously. He's one of the only guys that I know that will sleep until 3 in the afternoon, while wearing fishnets, with absolutely no regrets.

Tarby, everyone who met you during your stay with us absolutely adored you. I, for one, think you're a beautiful example of humanity, and I know that there are many, many others that will agree with me on this point.

In addition, you are a tremendously gifted musician and producer. When you get on your feet, I'd be honored to have you come back for another visit, if for nothing else, to simply noodle around in the studio.

Your friends in Minnesota wish you nothing but the best, dude.
