i rarely pay attention to lyrics EVER, unless they jump out at me as really good or really bad.

Wanderers by Chuck Wendig!

Pitchblende 'Au Jus'
a masterpiece of angular, mathy melodic noise rock. it must be a victim of some sort of record label/publishing rights weirdness, because it's not available on any streaming services with the exception of this video: youtu.be/yvbJ44J4q68

it was great! i loved playing James' songs. i was in the studio for 2 days & we tracked 5 songs. only 2 of them are on the record, though (Adie & Home and Horizon). hopefully the other 3 will come out someday!

i played on that record!

i like Loop for sleeping, but they block out too much sound for listening, imo. i use Hearos for music. Etymotics are similar, and also work well.

hmmm. i've never been a weed person & i love Jim's music. suddenly it all makes sense.

Martyrs (the original, i've never bothered with the remake) has a home invasion element. although it goes...a lot of other places....

you mentioned you thought it was self released - if it's on even a small independent label, the artist likely has to pay an agreed upon rate per copy which is unlikely to just be the manufacturing cost. plus if the records had to get shipped to artist, that can be costly. $40 does seem steep, though

i also have the Tascam Model 12. i love a digital recorder that operates like a tape machine!

I definitely remember vocal Replacements fans in the 80s and 90s. Mostly because I didn't like the band very much, so I found their fans (and the sloppy local bar bands they influenced) annoying. 🤣

check out On Fillmore, Glenn Kotche's duo with bassist Darin Gray. (it's not remotely dad rock, despite both of them being dads 🤣)

I still have that Fahey set in the big clunky multi disc jewel case. Love it!

i love this one! i still have the aRCHIVE cd edition.

it certainly helped that the "one guy" was one of the funniest people on earth at that point.

it is pretty hilarious that it's nominated for Academy awards. It's about as subtle as a Twisted Sister video!
