This is a huge scandal, one of the worst in modern law enforcement and something that is astoundingly unconstitutional and illegal.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

If your label is home to bands as amazing and varied as the Tubs, En Attendant Ana, the Serfs, FACS, Sunwatchers, Dummy, Nightshift, Martin Frawley, the Mountain Movers, etc. and you can’t make/have to shut down it really says something about how low we’ve sunk as a culture. RIP Trouble in Mind.

My incredibly low opinion of the music industry was slightly parlayed by the continuing presence of great DIY labels like Trouble in Mind. Sad to see them go, but glad they fought the good fight as long as they could. Listening to the Jonas Reinhardt tape they released as I type this.

Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

Tras años de actividad, Trouble In Mind Records cierra como sello activo. Fundado en Chicago por Bill y Lisa Roe, fue hogar de Jacco Gardner, Melenas o The Limiñanas. Su catálogo seguirá vivo, recordando que lo independiente también puede ser esencial.
