They do this fun flirty thing where if they’re looking at you, they’re not talking to you. So they’re mad at you for doing what they said.
And if they’re looking at someone else, they’re talking to you. So they’re mad at you for not complying with their instructions.

The most popular record of AAH's 11-ish years. Didn't happen overnight either, that baby slow burned 🥰

back in 1976!
New album out on all platforms now !
The digital copy is officially (as always) "name your price" on Bandcamp, but if you wanna throw a few bucks our way and grab a CD/tape, that'd be cool!
See you in another 3+ years 🫡
Agree with this. It’s easy to get cynical or jaded but the things you do to support DIY/independent music and art are probably more beneficial and appreciated than you know.
A tweet/like/stream/blog/sale/playlist etc is a reminder that people somewhere are listening. It HELPS.
If you wrote or contributed to a smaller music site this year, give yourself a star. It wasn't an easy year by any means to do this, and whatever you did mattered even if only seen by a handful of people. Likewise, the same goes to anyone making art, releasing or publicizing it.
My dad reunited me with some classics.
I realised that I didn’t have a copy of every Audio Antihero release since moving to the US (I still don’t!)
I need to be better about keeping spares too. This is my only copy of “Kind of Blah” and it’s not cheap now.

Baseball Jazz
Lo-Fi 2
Windy Country

nü classical
Melting House

not making a broader statement on what voters should / shouldn’t do: but how is Biden never responsible for his actions and how they reduce his popularity with voters? Why is the party never to blame for creating a uniquely predictable situation with Biden as candidate/president?

Today's Review: GROG by
@heyitsfrog
Ignited with the sounds of revelry, GROG injects so much fun into the Tetris experience. Regardless of the morphing genre and instrumentation from track to track, be assured you will hear a song overflowing with energy and masterful lyricism.
I would *love* it if you would please read

’s point: writing about music is a bloody service. Whether a feature directly drives traffic or not, every headline on the feed is a welcome reminder and helps to keep a release alive.

Please read my "Introducing Labels" feature on

I got to reflect on the three albums that I think have been the biggest discovery points for the Audio Antihero catalogue (Nosferatu D2 / Cloud / Frog) and to give three pieces of advice.
We have started a series (a long time ago) where we introduced indie labels. They will recommend 3 releases from their catalog and share 3 things they have learned by running the label. Are any labels interested?

I think in part it’s that we aren’t “stuck” with the music we own
You can have any music rather than forcibly getting yrself into the album you’d bought. Like I wonder how many albums I’d *love* if I’d bother to stream more than once / how many I value from sheer CD familiarity
