Tweeting mostly about indie music & live theater. Trying not to be an omadhaun or a poltroon.

Regardless of their comment that it isn’t necessary to pause the video, I -always- pause the video. I choose to interpret their comment as their being polite and not wanting to spoil the enjoyment of me and others watching the video. So, when anyone says that they want a pee break, I pause the video and declare out loud “Intermission! Time to pee and get more snacks and refreshments!” Sometimes it’s me who needs the pee break, and I’m the person who recommended the video. I figure that if they dislike the video I’ve chosen, they have better ways to show it than taking a pee break, such as spending time scrolling on their phone or outright declaring “this sucks — I hate it — got anything better?” Don’t overthink it is my $0.02 worth

We just went into The Current's Chart Show Hall of Fame for a tenth time!! Thanks to everyone for requesting our new song "The Universe Woke Up As You". (If a song is in the Top 10 for more than 10 weeks, it goes into the Hall of Fame). Life is wild. https://t.co/MbOdEcMHzi

Most importantly, I’d like you to do the things that bring you the greatest joy, which can change over time. With that in mind, here’s some history: It was Wits that first introduced me to your work. Then over time you led me to your other works, including supporting your Depresh Mode podcast through Maximum Fun

Grief, rage, disappointment and a tiny bit of pride. In today’s @guardianmusic I talk to @lowtheband about losing the person most dear to you and the power of music in coping with their absence

The marriage of Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker—who co-founded the seminal indie-rock band Low—was one of the most extraordinary collaborations in rock. Now, a year and a half after Parker’s death, Sparhawk is back on the road. https://t.co/8BjZ6MXBUc

Hello everyone
In 2017 we were approached by filmmaker William Miller about making a documentary about Frightened Rabbit, and specifically The Midnight Organ Fight, with the plan of releasing something during the ten year anniversary celebrations in 2018. Obviously this plan...
