have you been having a garbage 1-2 weeks? like the worst ones of the whole pandemic? i don't think i know a single person who doesn't feel that way, all for totally different reasons, "i just wanna see something"
i know everyone is mad at women for using exclamation points and smiley faces in their emails or whatever, but! fuck that!! i like being friendly in this cold digital world :) and! i appreciate it when people of all genders send me smiley faces :) :)
have to be honest - up until this moment i thought the refrain in “who let the dogs out?” was “who? who?? who?! who!! who!?” like just absolute incredulity that someone had let the dogs out and needing identifying answers
greta van fleet but instead of sounding like zeppelin they sound like steely dan and instead of boys it’s girls, bam, now i like them, now you like them, best new music, problem solved, hire me for a&r, i have never heard greta van fleet, thanks
everyone saying "last livestream ever!! never again will i livestream!!"—livestreams are a great accessibility accommodation for folks whose disabilities may prevent them from even entering the venue! consider continuing to produce them so concerts can be enjoyed more widely? :)
20,000+ amazon warehouse workers have contracted covid. undisclosed how many died. they fire organizers trying to improve conditions and save lives. they power deportations & policing. they are a trillion dollar company. please don’t do an amazon livestream, especially not for $0
a few years ago i noticed adam schlesinger followed me, i did the uncool move of DMing to say i'd been a fan since i was a kid - from that thing you do, josie soundtrack, fountains of wayne, more. he messaged back, couldn't have been more encouraging + kind. RIP to a songs hero
i like this brutal takedown of our band that spends its first 3 paragraphs obsessing over the fact that we hit the stage.... on time. and that some people left... at the end of our set
songs aren’t poetry and it drives me crazy when these unrelated words for different creative products are used interchangeably… i don’t have to die on this hill because it is just a normal fact
i just “bought” narcan at my local CVS - “bought” because it cost $0 with my insurance. it took less than 5 minutes. no prescription needed. continuing to lose friends to overdose is hard and baffling. i’ll carry this at speedy shows from now on - should’ve already been doing so
it is a beautiful thing to adopt a nervous dog rescued from terrible conditions and watch as only a few months later she is barking at you for taking too long to put her food in a puzzle bowl
I'm standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists. The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.

alright i'll play. for comparison's sake, last month i made about 500% more $ from bandcamp (where all of my music is, by choice, available to hear for free) than i did from spotify (where all of my music costs a subscription fee, and very little money makes it back to me)

- sugar ray

spent the past week discussing amazon's complicity with ICE, and how musicians can organize to say NO. we authored
@NoMusicForICE
and are amazed at how much support it's gotten before we've even gone public. read it here, sign it, share it, thank you
if i were asked to name a poetry book with a perfect opening, david berman's 'actual air' would be the first one that comes to mind. i'm always thinking about this poem
artists pls stop releasing projects with no real fanbase
the internet does not want to listen to an artist they've never heard before for 30 minutes straight
singles singles singles singles
maybe consider not naming your menu item “crack sauce” or “crack fries” or “crack n’ cheese” or some other thing that trivializes drug addiction ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
one time i got offered $450 to tweet about a tv show i had never seen & i didn’t do it because i was understandably skeeved out by publicly promoting something i didn’t know anything about. anyway 4 years later, search party is one of my fave shows lol should’ve taken that money
yes the soundtrack is impeccable but it doesn't make sense to me that there are people in this comments section STILL disparaging the movie! it is good, A++, the reason i learned to play guitar, holds up at every rewatch. it would earn the A+ on parker posey's performance alone
time for some toxic positivity 🤮 i love befriending my friends’ friends 🤧 it’s very special when you realize your friends’ extended universe has even more kind people in it 🤕
me: can you email me? i don’t check facebook
me: ugh i have so many emails! i can’t deal with this now. they would text me if it was important
me: ewww i’m getting a text
there are no scientific talking points more useless to me than "humans aren't designed for monogamy." we also aren't designed to have iphones, sweatpants, candles, scary movies, dogs in sweaters or nachos & that hasn't stopped me. let me be boring in the face of biology in peace
how much do i hate “female fronted” as a marketing ploy? so much that i paid for $16 airplane wifi for the first time in my life just to leave 2 annoyed instagram comments. so, $16’s worth
one time i "bartended" an event that was only serving four loko, and i drank one and then stopped remembering the night, but it basically ended with me trying to walk away with as many four lokos as possible
twitter told me to turn off the alerts on this but i will NEVER. the replies are too good. i’m loling. feed me more. i can’t believe i never heard “ope” before today
30,000 artists signed a petition in 2020 outlining why spotify was bad for us (this before daniel ek made massive military industrial complex investments) and if you are just now paying attention thanks to neil young… welcome! sign on!
i’m often thankful my therapist doesn’t understand the music industry at all because trying to explain it makes me realize how fucking stupid a lot of it is
is it spinster behavior to not hang out with anyone on halloween and instead watch all 4 scream movies in a row by yourself. or is it really cool or is it both
