as long as Spotify isn't your sole source of music finance I don't see the big deal. pennies are more than the jack squat I gave via limewire & TPB 🏴‍☠️

buy records, go to shows, etc etc

I once had a realization years ago about music discourse that the sickest burn is pure silence and negligence. tout what you love. ignore the rest.

incredibly good looks 👀 one of those rare records (for me) that picks up steam throughout. dig the whole thing but the back half is a beast. the early pumpkins meets opal is strong with this one.

much obliged 🤠

big ups for the inexplicable GIANT CLAW 🦞 what a behemoth

10000% said the same thing upon leaving. finally something surprisingly half decent just immediately smothered by shoe-horning it into some larger arc idgaf about.

can't get a good ol fashioned sequel anymore. instantly zapped my interest.

what a pointless use of your platform

well I'm in nyc... might've been 88.3 when they're playing funk/soul on Saturday mornings

one of my favorite track ones in recent memory, overheard on that too-rare occasion I throw on the radio

I really thought I'd be seeing her more often after this. one of my favorite sequences in that whole series.

so incredibly funny, but you're right, never forget the bald boy.

desperately wanted Sammy Sniper™️ to get the equalizer there

pick up that phone baby

but they look like the scared sabres tonight and I hate it. never know which you're going to get.

you and me both sister. good on you for even reading up on it; I can't bear it anymore.

always nice to feel some solidarity, though! 🤛

you know i got her to sign that shit like an insufferable nerd. instant classic. can't wait for whatever's next.

so I've always adored Willie the man more than the musician. dig things here and there, "Heartaches by the Number", "The Maker", a good chunk of 'Shotgun Willie'... but no real LPs that I revisit again and again.

UNTIL THIS NEW MERLE RECORD (!) can't turn it off. so I'm back and ready to revisit! 🙏

personally wish it was Spoon or Tolliver—never heard of this guy and think a female should be given the opportunity to succeed—but Kolb and Clarke have given me few reasons not to trust them... 🤷‍♂️

you know they aren't about that life
