On one hand, I love a room with good acoustics. On the other, I don't want the words "home" and "office" to mean the same thing.

Bandcamp only takes 15% of every album sale and they still make millions every year. If you cop an album for $10, the artist still walks away with $8.50.

Always ALWAYS bet on @Bandcamp giving artists what they deserve

While as a lover of wax it pains a wee bit to say this but...this piece should be read as an immediate call for sweeping renewable energy projects and not a case for a return to the heyday of physical media - LPs/CDs. Green New Deal please.

#UrbanPlanning trolling in #Germany. “By bike you’d already arrived at your destination”. My commute in Melbourne covers 12km. For me cycling is faster (and cheaper and healthier) than car, tram, train or bus. Depends on where you live of course...

In nature, there is no concept of waste. Everything is food for something else - a leaf falls from a tree and feeds the forest. Instead of simply trying to do less harm, we should aim to do good. #circulareconomy

you can spend your life being cynical and “cool” and uncaring, or you can embrace the joy of staying passionate and loving things unashamedly and always, just always being amazed by the world.
