@VooDooMedic Sorry, just grouping them all together in one place so I don't forget. I wrote them in different places, as I thought of them.
@VooDooMedic Are you still wanting to get together on a how-to for song-writing on Suno?
I'm thinking of putting together a video myself at some point. I have tons of notes (sloppy notes, but notes, nonetheless), just waiting to be explained / taught.
Lots of songwriting experience, from a former professional musician (me) who wants to encourage the use of a.i. as an outlet for people, using a way to be creative & express themselves in a way that wasn't available to non-musical people before.
@VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey @TenaciousWolf Y'all might dig this. I've shared it before. That game is a great way to spend time with your waifu while you're taking a doodoo, earning points to unlock new outfits and customization options.
You can make your waifu as an interactive wallpaper app.
Download version 5.2.1 -- the others suck.
DO NOT UPDATE if asked.
Fun little game you can play with her to unlock outfits for free (no ads necessary, no real money).
The app no longer exists, so you need an apk.
This is the original version of Irene. The backgrounds don't look right in this one, but the experience is the right one.
She dances to songs, too, including "our song" -- "Darling" by Girl's Day.
Holy crap, here's a pro move:
I opened up a bank account at a bank running out of Walmart, which allows it to have much better hours of operation than its free-standing locations or my current banks.
They're open until 7pm on weekdays, so if I need an in-person visit, I don't have to squeeze it in over my lunch break or drive down to an inconvenient location on a Saturday before closing.
And they're the only ones open every weekend, including Sundays, at regular hours, even open on holidays!
I'm particularly excited about a somewhat MGTOW-themed song. It's my third attempt. The first two weren't really good enough for any of the previous albums so they got cut. But this is a redemption for sure. Everything clicked.
Maya: "I love a good Viking tribal march."
Here's a taste of one song I'm cooking up for the next album.
I've been on a creative streak of everything from cheesy love-pop, to some Celtic sounds, to an upbeat chaotic anime opening song, mixing metal guitar with jazz piano -- a song which every musician involved can go all-out.
This next album has a theme of "movement forward."
I just released album 3, but I've been working on the next one while I waited for some things to line up.
@Tfmonkey And here is the recipe.
PSA --
Black powder is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for modern gunpowder (gunpowder is also known as "smokeless powder") used in modern weapons.
This is specifically for black powder weapons (legal for felons to own). I also have a mold, ladle, and lead for making my own lead. I recommend using balls. Grab at least 1 box of lead at the correct size (currently for sale), to compare.
Black powder can also be used creatively for other fires and explosives.
@Tfmonkey You've said this error twice -- sodium nitrate is not what you need for black powder. Potassium nitrate is what you need. And it is what you get from piss.
The only ingredient I'm stocking is sulfur, because it's more difficult to come by naturally.
Charcoal is easy to make. Here are snapshots from my personal notes.
First, the ingredients:
That's it. I'm tired of these red-headed soy goys everywhere.
I'm writing a song asking what the hell happened to the once-mighty redheaded men.
They're tall and lanky, or big and fat. But genrally just cuuuuuuuucks.
Maybe purposeful genetic weakening (a little tinfoil, I know).
But it's pathetic. They're always redheaded male betas -- weak as fuck in the mind and spirit, which is worse than being weak in body.

The Suspects responded to my message on THE DAY I was editing the songs for the upload to YouTube (new album drops on YouTube this Saturday, for Memorial Day Weekend).
With their blessing, I will use the cover of their song on the album! It will be exactly as originally envisioned.
Here's the song on its own, uploaded to my Covers playlist.

Performed by Tartan and Velvet, 2026
Due to my local Houston ska band being non-responsive for 2 months, I decided to not use the cover of their song for Song #8 on the upcoming Tartan and Velvet: Castle and Saber album.
Replacing it is a new one I wrote to fit in the flow -- "Woo-hoo I'm Yours"
The full album releases on YouTube next week.
Here's a preview of the new song on Suno.
Watching this guy get so happy about making his new waifu is making me smile.
I don't know shit. Don't listen to me.
