How exactly does getting followed by a whole bunch of accounts each following 50K accounts help you keep in touch with your peers? How is that *anything* other than drowning in sludge?

Speaking of... the two big influences on my old circuit bent / cracked electronics duo gunshop. with Joe Mason were Voice Crack and Reid Ghazala. Heh. Yeah.. the name. First gig had us behind a noise table full of hacked toy laser pistols, thought about changing it, somehow stuck for six or so years

Prised possession in the collection.. Kick That Habit LP wrapped in a large screened poster Discovering Voice crack in the late 90s was (not the only, but) a huge revelation. So glad my first viewing of the film was on the big screen with equally big speakers
Black LP cover in a plastic sleeve (sorry about the glare) should clarify - LP cover white paper entirely screened in black ink except for two white line drawn figures from the back, knees bent, arms raised as if holding up the edge of the paper.. yellow diagonal line cutting between them, the inner sleeve peeking throughOne side of the cover poster unfolded, yellow inner sleeve showing, printed with black textBack cover, center of the poster, a white figure somewhat curled in a fetal position, perhaps falling or floating or maybe rolling on the floorCute rabbit on the B side center label

you don't have to love the things I do, listen to the records I do, weird little zippering noises and harsh squalls, people growling and barking like dogs, eating an apple in the mic, laughing like mad clowns, but if this is the coward ass way you find whatever your version of that is, fuck you

going to go sell some things I love in a bit here so I can pay a bill and maybe have five minutes of not feeling like I'm fucked
some things shouldn't need to be explained. you go to the record store and flip through the bins till one of them speaks to you. maybe it's the name. maybe it's the weird picture on the cover. or the lack of one. who the fuck knows. hang on to that one. find a few more. maybe you have a notion of what they sound like, maybe you don't. keep pulling records like this till you think you should put some of them back. stand there indecisive for a minute. shrug and thing eh, I can skip a meal or two. buy em all. take 'em home. play 'em. one is amazing. a couple others are close enough. one of them scares the shit out of you. one of them you don't finish the first side. put them on the shelf. wait five years. the one that scared you, now you tell people it's the best thing you've ever heard and play it for everyone you meet. most of them look at you funny. the record you only listened to one side of and forgot about? you listen to three times a day. repeat this process every week for the next fifty years or so. it's not hard. easier than breathing. you should have figured this out when you were ten and got that first five bucks for mowing your grandfather's yard.

just streamed the entire album without issue, no glitches, or pauses of any kind, but the site can't add it to my wishlist because of a "network" error. every damn time.
an error message from bandcamp, received after clicking on add to wishlist that reads "There was a network error while processing your request. Please try again"

watching an ultra-low/no budget film called The Oregonian and it's not good, but the soundtrack feels like some lost minimal NZ free free noise act. Think Surface of the Earth but even more stripped down.. remove what little dialog it has and it might make for an amazing but way too long music video
