You have to be on LSD for 10 days out of a month to write for 6moons, that's a definite requirement.  Or you can forego that if you have proven brain damage.

Drugs are a good snake oil then. Now you have to make three lists: (taxed) legal drugs, (non-taxed) illegal drugs and (at-your-own-risk) experimental drugs and of course snake oil.



I will limit myself at red wine.

Ok, so I don't get this - Steve Hoffman endorsed these things?!  Is he for real?

Uhhh... I'm going to assume those "big round cushion things" he's talking about are tube traps. They have to be that large, you know because physics. Bass wavelengths are VERY long, and they need a lot more mass to react to. I'm not an acoustics expert, so its possible that the Holograph may have some type of diffusion effect. So can almost anything. A bookshelf lined with different sized books can act as a diffusor. Even a house plant can. None of those are effective at sub 100Hz frequencies though, and neither are these Shakti things.

So the dude bought artsy fartsy sound pitch forks for wub wub Brostep with "I like weird things" appeal?

Next up he is going to buy cow bells for his Nickelback albums...
