so, like, fuck the kraft family, obviously. I do wonder what Ed's options were for re-rerouting the tour. Any venue would be grateful to have it. Maybe individuals shouldn't own whole-ass teams or whole-ass stadiums. Seems weird to me.

Kicking Macklemore off a concert tour for saying "Free Palestine" is not fighting antisemitism. It's political censorship. Conflating the two is dangerous for everyone.

Streaming has corrupted my thinking and listening experience. I'll purchase a CD or Record from a band, online or at a show, and know that I've put more money in their pockets than I ever could through streaming.

Whatever terrible things you are worried will happen to me and other Jews if we call AIPAC monstrous...worse has happened already to innocent Palestinians, I promise. And those things have happened partially due to AIPAC's actions. It's good to say so!

It's gonna be a bigger wave 🎶🌊 Highlighting these lyrics because this song not only reminds us of summer, but also dives into deeper waters - like the rising momentum and flowing energy behind resistance. No wonder we named our tour after it! #ska #nokings #biggerwaveweekender #blueska

I keep getting the urge to go back to blogging (in the written, personal, random, wordpress sense) but then all I think about is what's going to be done with that data I'm creating for someone else's benefits. Sucks to think that way.

I almost called this song "rebellions are built on hope" but that felt misleading and click-baity. And mostly importantly, like something Less Than Jake would do. Happy February Album Writing Month to all. #fawm #ska #blueska youtu.be/I5H9S7iDfK4

Apropos of all the talk about spotify, or alternate options services. I use plex to access my own music library. That's free, no plan required, unlike video. My old iTunes library was intact. I have it on an old laptop at home that's on all the time, and I access it remotely with plex. 🧵
