I get the feeling people have been itching for new music in these trying times of social distancing. And I thought, "Oh hang on, I have new music." So I put this record out. The new @BreakupSociety album. Hope you like it. https://t.co/KRnTgY1AYr
The solution to streaming services not paying artists adequately is not ”BUY MERCH!”, it is lobbying all streaming platforms for fair pay. It should not be the responsibility of fans to make up for the greed of corporations.
The logical development now, geopolitically, would be for Trump, Putin and Johnson to resign, voluntarily undergo a 30-day microdosing course of LSD whilst listening only to Trout Mask Replica, and then open an indie record store in Nebraska.
@ahfow Wow. Of course! How could I have left that out!
I'll have to give Damon & Naomi another listen. I have all the Luna and Dean & Britta stuff, but never really got into D&N.
If you haven't already, check out the second installment of our series of episodes on the brilliant and unfortunately brief discography of #Galaxie500. On this episode, @ltd_engagement and @Emperor_norton discuss their best album, 1989's On Fire.

@ahfow Also, I had a lot of people listening to the Squeeze episodes email me their "origin stories" as it were--how they discovered the band and what the band means to them. I read some on the podcast. If you're interested, hit me up at [email protected]
@ahfow The thing I've grown to really love about this podcast is the debate it inspires--usually friendly. We come together on a love for the band, but the what and why of it is all up in the air. The feedback I got for the Squeeze episodes was full of that.
I've only just come across the @AlbumInfinitum podcast who a couple of weeks back started working through Galaxie 500's (too small) discography - I'm lterally 10 minutes into the Today episode but how can it not be worth listening to?!
