This is a great day to give trans people money.
We are trying to play 3 shows next September (Denver, SLC, Seattle), and it's going to cost us--there's no way we'll even break even. So sales count a lot until then.
8 releases for less than 20 bucks is a steal

I see a lot of "me! me!" in the quotes but no one seems to be questioning whether or not it's even true that kids aren't listening to older music when currently available data suggests they are.

in the end, no one is gonna remember "player stories" and "and then this happened" shit. they're anecdotes. but a character written with intent, voiced with intent, directed with intent? that's the shit that persists through generations, man. how lame do you have to be to want to actively avoid that

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:
1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people
2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.
