it's not something that falls out of your pocket..so called friends that lend stuff and dont return... and when you ask about it after years they say they cant remember or give it back broken. Happend more than once..
tssss... bastards.
don't these people know they gain bad karma by pulling that shit off ?
Like in : nobody will ever like their music or stuff like that ...
And it can't possibly feel good to be using gear you stole.? From friends ?
Or will they be like : yeah i beat the system ! just stole this of so and so... i'm so smart..... sorry ranting on here
just don't get shit like that.
I dont think people do such thing on purpose, well I hope not... I used to be very easy with lending out stuff, and maybe I still am cause when I started making electronic music I also borrowed a lot from friends. My first record was made with a lot of borrowed stuff. We werent able to buy a lot of gear so thats why we often joined forces. And maybe people think that if you lend out stuff easy that you dont give a shit, thats offcourse not true.. It annoys me most when you have to ask for your own stuff and when something gets broken that I have to find out myself and fix it because its my stuff?! And a lot of people I used to roll with dont do in karma or gods, they used to be more into powders and papers I lost quite a few things in the past years: tama techstar, smallstone, parrotbox and some other things I dont want to remember... But I occasionally still lend out some gear because I want to give other nice people the same opportunity I had when I didnt had so much fancy gear or variation in studio. Records I dont lent out anymore, it breaks my heart when I see others wrecking my precious grooves or not respecting the vinyl in a proper way.
It could be all about karma and is it a way of paying back the shit I maybe did to others, like criticizing their new record.. who knows
The most important thing is not to get negative and blame everybody for a individuals fucking up in the past.. I also learned to be more clear to others in advance, that helps preventing a lot of miscommunications and human errors..
