Patreon Extras, 6/1/2025

Hola Familia!

I'm sorry I've been quiet lately. I've been a pretty busy bee with finishing the school year, recording and then making sure my brother was comfortable when he got here last weekend. Also, I get a little bummed out when my brother leaves. We have so much fun and get on such a sibling high hanging out that once he leaves the house feels so empty (and too quiet, hah! Sorry NittBro😁).

I have a full week of teaching this upcoming week with a junior high band camp in the morning and private lessons in the afternoon. I have been waiting years to be a part of this camp and I finally am!

I'll shut up and get to the weekend line-up!

BAND-MAID SUNDAY:

• JUST BRING IT
• I know, I know...I'm skipping the Brand New Maid album. The reason for this is because I worked through this album extensively on Patreon with the musical score while listening to a studio and live version for all of the tracks. I figured since that feels complete, I should move on to Just Bring It. Also, my brother and I have another BAND-MAID reaction coming, but I need help from my editor first to make it look good, so please be patient until then!

PATREON EXTRAS:

• Mr. Big - "Addicted To That Rush"
• Here I am again diving into more of the guitar greats! I have heard this name before when talking to my guitar playing friends yet I have never dove into who is "Mr. Big." My friends will be excited to hear that I am finally checking them out. From what I understand Mr. Big was more popular in Japan and consisted of Paul Gilbert (Guitar), Billy Sheehan (Bass), Pat Torpey (Drums) and Eric Martin (Vocals).
• KATATONIA - "Lilac"
• I read that this was Doom/Prog metal...then I saw it was from Sweden...I was double sold. I don't know if I have listened to Doom metal before, but I have a brain that has a hard time distinguishing genres. As a former(?) goth kid, I think this is something that I will love. I can't wait!
• BAND-MAID, PRIME - Special Talk, Vol.1+2 from BAND-MAID Tokyo Garden Theater Okyuji
• I PROMISE we will get back to some music reactions to BAND-MAID, but after the US Tour video I really want to dive into the ladies more. I want to see them talk, discuss and connect with their audience. I know I am an audience member behind a screen, but I have been enjoying the jittery, shaky, excited butterfly feelings I get just listening to them...speak! I hope you guys don't mind. At some point, we will also dive into the other tour videos, but I have been dying to watch these on prime for a while.

ANIME REACTIONS:

• Sound! Euphonium
• Competition is 10 days away! The band is working hard and members want to be the BEST! I am here for this level of musicianship!
• Girls Band Cry
• Potential new members to the band? HECK YES! Nina strives for fame, while Momoka is hesitant. The mystery continues!
• VIEWERS! I need your help!
• I would Like to add a new anime to the line-up. Which one of these would you be interested?
• Liz and the Blue Bird
• Rock is a Lady's Modesty

I feel bad that I have been pretty quiet. I have been going to the gym a lot lately to decompress. I feel like I am experiencing a teensy bit of burnout, but it's nothing I haven't been able to work through. I promise to be more vocal after the next 2 weeks! Once band camp is over and my family vacation is done, I'll be more present!

Con Amor,
💜NittPicc💜
