Electric Bill

I’m having a problem with my electric bill, it’s only been getting higher I usually only use ac when it’s hot & recently only got WiFi so I’m not understanding what’s eating all this energy, the only thing I can think of that drains a lot of power is that I leave my two tvs on thru out the night but that’s about it. I live in Pasadena California & would appreciate any advice on how to lower the bill.

Hello! I've been curating a southern gothic, dark folk, & bluegrass playlist that just recently surpassed 1,000 followers! I'd love to share it among any fans of the genre's, and hoping some of you may be able to recommend some artists or songs worth checking out in this style of music? Thank you! ☺

Just got a mandolin, starter songs to learn?

I play guitar and a small amount of banjo already, and have picked up the mandolin chords pretty easily. Any tips or song recommendations to start with?

Lindsay Lou changed my life

Her music has helped me with grief and life changes, and is so beautiful and hits the right emotions. Everything Changed was the song that I first heard and got me hooked. Silent is one of my all time favorite “I was not prepared for this and it’s ok that it sucks and it will get better” songs. This is just a thanks to Lindsay Lou and a hope that her music can help others!

Recommendations?

I'm a rocker that's gotten really into this spectrum of music, namely Trampled by Turtles (seriously cannot put that band down) and Old Crow Medicine Show; what else might I really like?

I listen to a lot of 'folk punk' as well, Days n Daze, Ceschi, Violent Femmes, pretty much everything by Pat the Bunny and Erik Peterson, so I am very much a fun of some harsher tones as well.

Here's a song for yalls time lol
