Broken Record

Weakened Friends at Vultures in Colorado Springs, tonight February 7 with Broken Record and Viewfinder

We’re playing in Colorado Springs tonight for the first time in like idk 2 years? Very stoked to play with Weakened Friends, gonna be a good one

Folks why am I blanking on cool bands from the Bay Area who might want to play with Broken Record

Truly hard to give a fuck about this with how things are right now but we do have shit if you want it and it will be available tomorrow

Don’t buy used guitars from wet parts of the country, folks. Or you might complain and be told “everyone smell differently” after telling a guy it reeked so bad you had to put it outside immediately

For those unfamiliar, I got this guitar online (oops) from a guy with hundreds of 5 star reviews, had a million pics/no fret wear/nothing sketchy in the description. Was cheap but only bc I made an offer.

It got here and reeked BADLY of mold. I went to *lengths* to remedy this and now we’re here.

I know this is carryover from our old Twitter, but if anyone wants an update on the Smelly Guitar after almost 2.5 years it’s settled out to something in the realm of “vague antique store smell”, only noticeable if you’re playing sitting down. I’ll take it.

I love this new song by local legends @capecrushma.bsky.social

Snowing has a dang bluesky account pass it on

Much better ring to it than Wender’s Tenders, though now that I’ve said it out loud maybe I prefer this one

The position of Broken Record is, always has been, and always will be a whole-hearted “Fuck ICE”

Genuinely horrifying shit going on, my brain is straight up mush but folks: if you have an opportunity to help your community, and especially if you’re in a position of privilege please do everything you can to get something going

Is it bad that I’m imagining an elaborate forward swinging motion of the hips followed by an immediate closing of the legs before y’all have to sit in small seats

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Broken Record at 7th Circle in Denver with No Dreams, Fainting Dreams, and Gooey Cookie. Tonight January 23rd, doors at 7, $12 donation + $5 membership if you aren't already a 7C member.

We're playing a very sick show at 7th Circle in Denver tonight, it will be warm inside, it's fine that it's cold, you should come enjoy loud rock music

I did extra chores last month and got really good grades

(We were borrowing one from a friend and I immediately needed to own one oops)

For this brief moment in time, I am unstoppable

underemployed and somewhat neurotic so I made a little publication. if you email grievermtn@proton.me I'll send you a PDF. 1/2

sorry to hear this, that blows big time

Corey and I just watched Inland Empire for the first time. A normal movie, no question marks whatsoever

Asked my two year old to pick out a record, and he made a bee line to grab @brokenrecord.bsky.social 'Routine' hell yeah

Great kid, big fan, keep on doing whatever you're doing this rocks

Brutal
