HOWDY!

My name is Ryan (known online as Gubby), and this is my quaint, slightly autistic corner of the World Wide Web. I'm an overly dramatic kid living in the depressingly beautiful west coast of Canada, still figuring out what to do with his life.Since this is my first time tinkering with web design, please excuse me for any bugs or embed issues here. Enjoy your stay!

FAV BANDS

- Weezer
Weezy music that makes you wheeze. First rock band I've seriously listend to. I listen to smth from Pinkerton almost every day.- Kino (кино)
Legendary glasnost-era soviet postpunk band, nowadays known for popularising the "doomer" sort of music. If any of you came here from instagram, this is the band whose music I usually use for my posts- Foo Fighters
Basically can't feel tired when listening to their songs. I've been trying (unsucessfully) to play Everlong on my piano since the pandemic- The Offspring
Punk band whose songs I've been listening to since Elementary School. It has a pretty fly for a white guy- Fall Out Boy
"Borrowed" from my friend group. Pretty much the only emo band I regularly listen to and enjoy- Nirvana
The NPC pumpkin spice latte of all rock bands that actually isn't overrated. Funnily enough, I was first introduced to the band by my cousins when I was in China

Since I'm wishing to play guitar in the future and listen to music almost anywhere I go, I figure I'd make a page abt the stuff I like.As a rule of thumb, I usually just find whatever songs that feature electric guitars and aren't overly edgy "good". Bonus points if said songs don't belong to my generationOutside of the usual rock music, I like to listen to video game soundtracks. The music from Cult of the Lamb is my absolute favourite (especially for studying), the HOI4 soundtrack (TFR included) is always fun to listen to omw to school, and anything c418 is peak anywhere and anytime

THIS PAGE IS WIP!

Although the layout of this website is original and made by me, I took massive inspiration from the YouTube tutorials of channels nao cards and lvjnsl. If any of yall are wanting to make a page of your own, I highly recommend you to give a look at their tutorialsThroughout this website, I've also used the system font Squada One for the body text and Shrikhand for titles and headersImage credits:Site background from ShutterStock (duh)Friends
