Attempting to contact as soon as that link decides to load. Two separate attempts to send emails to our 500+ fans were not delivered today. More than willing to extend grace, but it's clear that all systems are not 'go'

Rob's glitch art was the inspiration for our S/T album cover. The Kickstarter for his new art book is already wildly successful after less than 24 hours. If he also operates on your wavelength, check out the campaign and consider backing! @rob-sheridan.com

A little run down the next day, and the arm was a bit stiff, but beyond that, feeling good as hell

UPDATE: First dose of the vaccine giving me no problems. Got a teensy bit of soreness in the one arm and I can hear Bill Gates narrating my thoughts ("why don't you burn down a police station") but beyond that, feeling good as hell.

I could not have fewer respect for the AP style guide right now.

Jonathan Gitlin @drgitlin

Apparently AP style now says you can use "less" even when "fewer" is correct and so 2020 continues to plumb new depths.

@thedepthbeneath.us released our second album, a 55-minute post-rock opus called Descent, which contains the Bluesky Banger™ track, #JealousyProfessor 🎧

The song that ended up resonating the most off our first album didn't start to gain traction until ~10 months after release. Review Old Things.

We were on the teevee last night. Here's a look inside our home studio from "Evening" (longtime Seattle TV staple) showing the practical VFX we made for @pearljam.com, my analog glitch lab, and even a special appearance by iO.

Makes total sense. Now the question is which version do I finally dive in with? (Still have my LG E6 OLED and some glasses somewhere)

As someone who has never seen either but has been waiting for these 4Ks to be announced, this seems like a capital-T Take..?

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.

So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.

much like the heat index, where it's actually 88 degrees outside but it feels like 94, we should develop a fascism index where it's actually 2025 outside but it feels like the 1930s

I fell in love with a song after hearing it once on the radio in 1987 (age 6), then never heard it again or knew what it was called until 1994.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · Aug 16

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.
