I forget I produced that tape. That was a real fun experience and time. And also an oddly high amount of musician drama for the most low stakes indie-est tape ever assembled. #precovidnostalgia Very jealous of that Crash Test Dummies tape. I got the CD for Christmas the year it came out, so it...

I think of post-HiFi R.E.M. as a different band, like they probably ended the band there in an alternate reality where there wasn’t obligation to the larger ecosystem of people who relied on them or fan expectations. Thinking of it that way, I can enjoy a ton of their songs on every album. Up is...

My little sister is writing for the Hard Times again. 😃 Man To Be Honored at GLAAD Awards for Giving Bisexual Girlfriend a Ride to Chappell Roan Concert

Part of my decision for being more excited about an R.E.M. reunion is because, at least publicly, they’ve been much more of a unit with a shared ethos, so, although they’d be going back on their word about being fully done, I’d be excited to see what happens if they all decided it made sense to...

I think that is enough extra context for this to feel a lot more thoughtful to me. I knew I had to be missing something. Only thing that slightly feels missing is whether they were doing a direct parody of an existing logo with the Cherry Tree Club logo side.

Is the keychain a parody of something? The CT logo is weirdly not their usual minimalist/sans-serif modern look and the shape and thickness is weird too. Is it just a random keychain that is an inch thick with a weird CT alternate logo?

They’re both amazing but R.E.M. by a landslide for me for both live show and catalogue.

Getting mine on Saturday. 👁️👄👁️

But, all kidding aside, who was my Santa

The compliment/fun at the end is almost worth the heart-sinking half second at the top. Lol.

Did any more info come out of that? I remember the week of people were saying he deleted his socials and speculated the firing may have been for non-creative reasons but then I haven’t heard anything since

No cool press for my podcast since Vulture featured us last year BUT, nevertheless, we persist. New episode today.

Yeah. I believe return postage is paid by the buyer except in cases where the seller offers to cover it in the name of providing good customer service. PayPal/credit cards don’t AFAIK have it in their terms that the seller must cover return shipping. On that note, I learned early on that, if...

Spinning and remembering when this was once “late era” Pedro the Lion.

I’ve been out of the selling game for a second but I’d check on whether eBay backs you on awarding the refund UPON the safe receipt of the item back. That would keep you from feeling pressured to send a refund before you receive it back. They should but I haven’t been in a pickle like that for a...

The Andover subwoofer was delivered yesterday so breaking it in with the latest National record.

Listening to two guys tonight.

The more ostentatious lyrics aside, it’s kind of impressive how much restraint there is with the vocal hooks and the musical hooks. I can see how this could be boring but it feels like a solid, assured grower to me at the moment.

This is perfect for me. All I need to listen to records at decent sound quality in one 15”x25” stand (Andover subwoofer comes next week). I can stay in Los Angeles where I’ll never afford enough bedrooms to dedicate one to a full audiophile system and not sacrifice too much sound quality!!! My...

I lead a no-frills vinyl life with a needed small footprint, as evidenced by how I’ve just listened to records on a nice pair of Sennheiser headphones for years, so I’m thinking of getting a full Andover Spinbase setup with the Spinbase MAX and the subwoofer and the turntable stand they make for...
