What the actual fuck! Get your shit together, UK.
Ich wohne dort an der Strecke und bin so unendlich froh, nicht in dem Zug gewesen zu sein. Hier gibt es ständig Probleme mit der Bahn. Letztes Jahr war die Brücke kaputt, weil ein Schiff dagegen gefahren ist. SEV, neue Brücke, direkt wieder ein Schiff dagegen gerasselt und daher der gleiche Spaß nochmal mit SEV und neuem Brückenbau. Dezent lästig, wenn man so viel Zug fährt wie ich.
Queen is such a great band, actually my first CD I ever bought as a child was "A kind of magic". :)
Unfortunately, I can't call my mother, she's a religious nutcase who still can't get over the fact that one of their children is LGBT... :(
I hope the kids are getting a kick out of my drumming, I've learnt so much from my dear late friend Wayne, who was a multi-instrumentalist, pretty much wrote all of his records himself. I miss him every day. Back when I was a little child, I snuck out from home, took a train about 150 km away, just to see his band performing live. He was sort of bamboozled by the fact that there was a little unattended child screaming their lungs out front row. Pulled me up on stage to be "safe" and yeah, that's how we became friends back in the day. We stayed friends until he passed away 11 years ago and I'm still not over it. I miss him dearly, every single day. He would've thought it's insane that I picked up drumming after my massive hearing loss on stage. Yeah, I can still drum and I'm kind of good at it. ^^
But enough with the sob story, let's hear him and his live band! throws drum sticks up the air
Hey dads, here's a drumming update from my plate :)
I've got no earthly clue on who of your very wholesome community read my previous post here, but anyways, here's some amazing news:
Yes, I agreed to be a drum teacher substitute for the one teacher who unfortunately passed away recently due to old age.
Why did I hesitate so much? Because I'm transgender, it would mean that some peeps realising I grew up in that small town area, but I don't give two shits anymore. My boyfriend, he's transgender as well, and we share a deep love for music.
Also fighting with my gauntlets on, I got all my wishes cared for. There's an open door policy with me. The door is never closed and there will always be at least two parents present. I won't have to deal with any accusations from anyone.
All I want to do is teaching drums - because I'm sort of good at it. I love music!
This video recently warmed up my heart - I want to be a cool teacher (and the teacher was the English teacher, not the music teacher, lol.)

This is such a good advice, thank you. I drum a lot in my free time and I'm always like: "Oh yeah, this song is actually based on another song. :D

I need dad advice for teaching children on music
Hello dads, I copy+pasted this question from your sister community.
So, long story short: I’ve been a musician for pretty much all my life. After a massive hearing loss, I picked up drums about a year ago and I’ve had so many great teachers myself. Now the local music school asked me if I could teach drums to their kids. They lost their former teacher due to old age.
I have rarely dealt with children. Sure, I was a tutor for some when it comes down to languages, but teaching music? That is so new to me and I’m actually afraid.
I am all gauntlets right now negotiating the deal here: I want espescially girls to learn a new intrument. They must be bored out of themselves just playing the flute, organ and piano.
So, my approach is probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL5oBbriJuQ

Any hints or tips you can give me? Please?

I am so in awe of what you wrote. I want to ignite that spark in children, and I know it's a private school, so there's that, at least. All the kids are there because they want to learn music, not being dragged there or anything.
Thank you so much for your input. :)
Yeah, I do get a lot sidetracked, when I feel a song is too boring, but I'd love to teach some young ones the basics and then go wild afterwards.
I might become a music teacher for kids. Help?

Weirdest compliment ever received last night
So, last night I had to attend a wake. I don't know if it's only a European thing, my sisters overseas might have to google that one up just in case, but yeah, it was odd. At some point one of my best friends waltzed in with this HUGE guy, like 2 meters tall, and his tiny wife went along as well. My good friend apparently told them who I am, and the huge ass guy and his tiny wife immediately went FAN MODE:
Yoooo, your album from 2008 is in our cupboard!
I'm a shy person and being this overwhelmed with fans, that was very strange and scary to me at first. But we had a good run. Just talking about music nonstop.
To me, which I could laugh about, was the fact that I'm doing very, very different music these days, playing a different instrument, just doing my thing and yeah, I had to share phone numbers with them so I can share what I'm doing now.
A really, really weird, but fun night. Music nerds meeting another music nerd... :D
Got pulled out of a hole by a music legend
So, a bit of background about me. I play the drums for fun, used to be a professional musician in the past and basically quit after losing most of my hearing during a live gig with my former band back in 12/2008.
I only started drumming about 10 months ago, I became fairly good quick thanks to some amazing teachers, but only play in my rented session room 4 fun. That is my personal safe space and my version of self therapy.
There's no BS going on in there, just me, drums, a couch for naps, a laptop with webcam for my teachers and a mini fridge for cool drinks.
I suffer from Dysthymia and right now I'm going through a phase of so called double depression again thanks to new meds I couldn't deal with. My thoughts were getting darker and darker, which is almost impossible in the first place, and my energy levels went straight to zero.
Got a text message last night and I thought: 'Ughhh, what's it now? Who wants something from me?' while snug up in my bed.
Yeah, who was that? One o

Top 3 episodes (all series) for a newbie
Hi there. A friend of mine wants to get into Star Trek (finally, yay). She asked me which series would be a good start since she loves binge watching. I honestly couldn't say. My favourites are VOY, ENT S1/S2 & SNW, but I'm a big fan of all series and watched them so many times back to back (with the exception of DIS & PIC - only once and never again). So, instead I thought we could watch the top 3 episodes of each series and then she can pick one to start watching the entire thing. Let me hear your top 3 episodes of one or several series. Just keep in mind she doesn't know any of the lore yet. I'm really looking forward to see your takes.

Can anyone help me identify this potted plant?
A friend recently gave me this plant as a present. So far I have no experience with potted plants, but for now it is doing quite well with plenty of daylight and multiple small doses of water throughout the day. If I knew what kind of plant it was, I could take even better care of it.
