that's right Kash and all we have are Mids

Reposted for the weekend crowd. (It's obviously no longer Bandcamp Friday, but the rest of the thread still applies.)

Paul and Storm @paulandstorm.bsky.social · 8d

Our former a cappella group, Da Vinci’s Notebook, is rereleasing our three albums on vinyl. We’re also offering a limited-edition 3-album box set, “The Big Package”, with a signed poster.

These can be pre-ordered on our Bandcamp page, and will ship on/around Dec. 1. davincisnotebook.bandcamp.com

So I yattered at Dan long enough and he decided to do a Kickstarter for a double-sized set, 2020 to 2025, of This Modern Life. We launched last week, hit the target (break even) in 3 1/2 hours. It's now over 200% with weeks to go. kck.st/4pNT9tF I confess a little glee at the publisher missing out.

We're told Bandcamp currently has some slow load times (hopefully because so many people are supporting independent artists), but generally is still working. 🤞

Anyway, reposting our own 🧵

So anyway, thanks for listening over the years, preorder an album or several if you want, and try to be kind to each other whenever you can. davincisnotebook.bandcamp.com

And of course, Da Vinci’s Notebook's best-known song would have to be our cheery old-timey novelty hit “Enormous Penis”.

If this song is what ends up on our various gravestones and obituaries, I say we could do far worse. youtu.be/EWMPVn1kgIQ

Since we haven’t performed since 2005, many of you may not know Da Vinci’s Notebook, but might be familiar with our music. (Especially if you ever sang in or heard any college a cappella groups since ~2008)

You can preorder them anytime—including right now—but tomorrow (Oct. 3rd) is “Bandcamp Friday”, wherein Bandcamp waives their fees on all sales that day, so that much more $ goes directly to the artists. So whether you order from us or anyone else, tomorrow is a great day to support musicians there.

The forthcoming thread is posted with the now-standard full understanding that everything is shit right now, and doing self-promotion feels very awkward, despite any reassurances it's fine and even important, in its way.
