I sing in Too Much Joy and Wonderlick and work in tech (Rhapsody/Google Play/Freeform/Zedge). I tend to post about music, movies, and the death throes of democracy.

It's very easy to have Oakland pride.

This city rules.

SideOne Dummy already did a vinyl reissue of the original album, and the expanded edition could have 40 tracks or more, so it's unlikely, though maybe we could do an IndieGoGo campaign that only takes your money if there's actually enough demand.

Probably worth mentioning that any time you play Too Much Joy's most popular album online, all the royalties (such as they are) go directly to the band, as the rights reverted to us yesterday.

Expanded edition coming latere this year...

How New Superfan Streaming App Tapedeck Plans to Shake Up Artist Royalties, One Penny at a Time Superfan streaming app Tapedeck, founded by Tim Quirk, wants to increase artist royalties. The pay-as-you-go app sets the floor at a penny per stream.

I enjoyed talking to Billboard about our grand ambitions for Tapedeck.

Wouldn’t it be weird if Mar-a-Lago face wasn’t plastic surgery, but something that happens organically the more evil you get? Kind of like The Picture of Dorian Gray on a living human being

They can't stand that they lost the culture. Their main concerns are not shared by a majority of their fellow citizens

So they use whatever power they can obtain to make it illegal to not be enough like them

They don't even care if you mean it. They just need everyone to pretend as much as they do

You chose the wrong Drake's Cake! The correct answer is Yodels.

This whole story is so disturbing. I get that our corporate overlords want AI replacing human workers wherever possible, and some human workers are always going to take lazy shortcuts on top of that, but hoo boy is this grim.

And he once sat in on drums for a Too Much Joy tour when our regular drummer couldn't get the time off.

I'm pretty proud of this poem I made out of the euphemisms that companies used to describe the ICE occupation in corporate communications. Also read the whole story: racketmn.com/corporate-co...

We had a bunch: Linda McCartney, Aaron Sorkin, Tovah Feldshuh, Robert Durst.

Also Nina Totenberg and Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Farther down the list, but cooler if you dig indie rock, are Chris Brokaw and, um, three members of Too Much Joy.

It is very funny that one of the only people, out of thousands of the ultra rich and celebrities who were exposed to Trump and Epstein's pedophilia, who immediately said fuck this and got out of there was the dude from 2 Live Crew
