hey everyone, haven't chatted in a while. one of the things i value the most in the friendships i do have is the ability to not lose closeness despite long lapses in communication. it's nice to know you can care about people and not need to be constantly in their lives yet still maintain a closeness and fondness.

so, how you been?

I have been an amateur woodworker my whole life, always using carpentry as a means to channel negative feelings towards a positive outcome. I recently found myself in need of a new pedal board, a position a lot of us pedal addicts find ourselves in frequently. I built myself a new board, and at the same time built a couple others for a few friends who were in need as well. I did it to their specifications, figuring out what they needed for their rigs and it was a lovely time. They turned out great; solid and sturdy, beautiful, and very importantly they were incredibly cost effective. With this I got the idea to start cult boards, which serves a very specific purpose.

The music gear world is filled with abrasive white cis-men who condescend to any marginalized person if their knowledge of gear isn't of the same ilk. I detest this. It makes it incredibly hard for persons of colour, women, trans-persons, queer people, and a plethora of others to learn about gear and feel comfortable going to a store and buying what is right for them, or going to meet some weird dude off craigslist who loves stained and digs **chix who play muzik.** Furthermore, a lot of gear that is worthwhile is priced so exceedingly high that it is financially out of reach, and the cheap alternatives need to be replaced so often that you end up spending more. Basically; music is a nightmare.

cult boards exists to offer custom, professional quality pedal boards on a sliding scale donations based system with a priority on marginalized persons. I am happy to build you the board you want at an affordable rate without all the weird hyper-masculinity and pretension. Need a tiny board to fit a tuner and your overdrive on so you don't always have to set it up? No problem. Want it raised so you can mount a power strip or power supply under it? Sounds rad. Need a 3foot x 5foot monster so your queer as fuck psych prog outfit can jam? I am more than happy to help! I can make anything from the simplest of bare-bone structures to a board with built in inputs, top mounted handles and a tie up for your cables. The world is your oyster.

Pricing works as follows: You shoot me an e-mail and we discuss what you need. I let you know exactly what the shipping cost & material cost is (wood, fraction of a pack of screws, handles, etc.) and you paypal, money order, mail cash or write a cheque. Whatever works. I build the board and send it your way (builds can take as little as 1 day and as many as 6), and once you receive it you can send a suggested donation of $15-$80, depending on what you can afford and feel is reasonable. That is it!

Why am I doing this other than the aforementioned bro-scape that is music? I love building as an outlet, it keeps me happy and helps my mental health stay in check. As well, I am an intersexed queer male who, despite a torrid time growing up, has all the privilege of being white skinned & being deemed "passable" by normal society ever since I had surgery. I have an ability to give back to a community that has given me a lot, and use the knowledge I have gained to hopefully help facilitate a less shitty environment in music.

I am excited about this endeavor, and hope to hear from ya soon if you need a board! If not, feel free to spread this around just in case someone in your friend group or internet-circle needs one! More gear for all!

propaghandi. i truly can't stand them.

long shot, i know.

so grandpa kw bought this lovely, relatively compact 2x15" sunn guitar cabinet that he is very excited to play through. unfortunately, it is in brooklyn, new york and needs to get to st. catharines ontario.

if you, your band, or anyone you know, happens to be driving from brooklyn to buffalo, rochester, or anywhere in ontario anytime in the next month or two and wants to transport this lovely cabinet for me, i would be in your debt. i can offer some gas money, photography work, a home baked pecan pie, and a lot of love.

i really need some help on this one folks, as the place it is currently hanging out needs to get it out ASAP. someone help me bring my new cabinet home! you can reach me at kwcampol (at) gmail (dot) com

feel free to signal boost this as, the more i think about it, i know basically no one.

i've had this thread for a bit. thought i'd give it some context. i stopped playing music a long while ago, and recently my partner and i have begun playing together. it has been super fun and really rewarding. we recorded our first songs last month and are "releasing" them on friday the 13th... but i thought i'd share them here. the first time i played songs and started recording them, i shared them here... like 15 or whatever years ago. so that's cool.

it is a doom metal band, the lyrics talk about queer, intersexed, and feminist issues. i am really proud of it.
