Soooo many people piss me off,, what is the cure for this,,

Not sure I could have written my book without information from the Wayback Machine. It's the last bastion of so much history that has already been officially deleted.

I don’t think I’ve made a worse financial decision in my life than developing good taste

Comic I made today about weight gain and Robert crumb lol #comics

Did you know? You should listen to the Katamari Damacy soundtrack on a Wednesday

Being a girl is a pure living hell

There is a scary and undeniable negative impact when only the most privelaged artists get to share their art with the world

From a year ago: Wrote about records from Hello Emerson, Fanclubwallet @fanclubwallet.bsky.social, The Church, and Magana @audioantihero.bsky.social:

I need to return to the golden age of indie. The unlimited free milkshakes label art week bandcamp compilations.

The phenomenon of record labels signing artists based on them being on one playlist or having one song with 100k streams and then dropping them a year later because the label didn’t put any effort into growing them really needs to stop

I’ll say it - I think absurdly long album titles are actually awesome sorry!
