Reminder: if your β€œtoxic roommates” do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say, live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play, dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friendβ€”you’re not living with toxic roommates; you’re with the damn Addams Family!!!

Almost certainly. The charts have long been gamed into obsolescence

After years of the hits, that scandalized my weird little teen brain

Enjoy an EP’s worth of bonus acoustic content by paying for four more copies of the album you already own at least once!! AND at a time when shipping to this and other countries is already hell!!

So much of The Nylon Curtain hits me as Beatlesque, particularly β€œLaura”

Irrespective of quality, this is a craven way of releasing material

Every time the vice president tells someone they should be more grateful online, his dick and balls shrink more into his body

Just saw a caricaturist in Times Square with TWO samples of Mr. Bean. Hot tip, pal: if you think you’re gonna entice my business with THAT creep…think again!!

So many people I know in my late 30s/early 40s bracket who aren’t regular concert attendees have gone to see them on this tour. Not since My Chemical Romance have I seen people turn up like this!

It always fascinated meβ€”and I guess the rights that made it not come back into print until last monthβ€”that no one by the end of the decade tried to cash in

Like, Rumours was in the lower quadrant of the Top 20 very recently and at No. 27 on the same chart where Buckingham Nicks is No. 11. Inconceivable

For a catalog title, these numbers are absolutely staggering. I’d wager this is more than it sold in 1973!

I will stake my middling reputation on any of these artists. I’ve never disliked anything I’ve heard from them at all

Lemme also add the new release I downloaded today from a previous Bandcamp Friday (John Carpenter and family’s expanded Halloween sequel scores) and someone I’ll be downloading today (Puddles Pity Party, charming opener on Weird Al’s summer tour)

I don’t think you can tag many accounts in a post but @nojerseyband.bsky.social @nickmillermusic.bsky.social @ndyjwaldron.bsky.social @daltondeschain.com are among the IRL homies in this list and I’ll vouch for them any day of the week and any week of the month. Wish more BC artists were on here

I’ve bought hundreds of things from Bandcamp artists and if you don’t mind, I’m going to list my favorites in the next post! Maybe you’ll like some of them too

I answer that question with another question, which is "do you think she's eaten at Dan Tana's"
