The discs were behind the counter, so I asked to see them (knowing full-well I was going to buy it regardless). As the clerk brought the discs out, he mentioned that they were in excellent condition because THEY WERE FROM ERIK'S PERSONAL COLLECTION.

No, this isn't enough. Bloviating about speeches against "for-profit prison companies....making record profits" is not enough. Meanwhile, this is happening in Minneapolis. Do something real, for god's sake. We are desperate for it.

Got to see @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social for the first time tonight (even though I lived in the Twin Cities for 20 years) and holy crap did he RIP! It's so refreshing to see music at its purest, no pomp and circumstance, just a three piece kicking ass. #musicsky

Last night I got to see MJ Lenderman and the Wind play to a club of 600. It was a great reminder during these turbulent times that art endures. Some people are doing exactly what they are meant to do with their lives, and I am lucky to have seen one of them do it.
