@timgill924 I only ever listen to Gish and Siamese Dream. If you crave that sound, I highly recommend Aussie band The Superjesus and their 1998 album Sumo, they mine it so well youtube.com/watch?v=UZPSS0…

Oh! I've just realised today is official publication day for my book... I've yet to see one in the wild but @sallysharp has sent me proof it does actually exist. All she had to do was say some nice words about it on the back cover... Obligatory link: bloomsbury.com/uk/corporate-l…

Jason Clare and the government have got the international student policy badly wrong. They genuinely do not seem to understand that the international student caps will cost thousands and thousands of university jobs

@beneltham Amen

It’s been a week

@chadswendsen Sorry to hear you are sad. I miss him too. Your post made me remember this thread and people have posted more clips since then, so I've updated it. Some great La Luna footage and the Hi EP. Thanks internet!

@BenMorgan47 I loved Drunk at Abi’s, very sad today, met jr at a rent raising party back in the 90’s, saw them play several times but not enough. Listen to worm in apple regularly still to this day, including today

RIP JR Pella, the first musician to ever let me carry gear so I could get into 21+ shows. I wish more people knew how brilliant you were.

@matdryhurst that sounds really fun actually.

So with likes now private to anyone but the poster what is stopping activists setting up extremist sock accounts to doxx people who now feel free to like verboten stuff

and don't worry it has plenty nice things to say about Bandcamp. I can't get enough of reading reminders that people haven't figured out how to 'solve' inequality in recorded music revenues.

"our research reveals that the Bandcamp model may not entirely address the disparities present in mainstream music platforms. Our study indicates that despite the differences, large inequalities still persist in terms of artist popularity and earnings."

Hegemonic indie (Bandcamp) was never the answer to stardom market structures. I've always known this, but its good to see such clear evidence. doi.org/10.1080/102866…
