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.

But while listening to that CD or LP, I'll feel guilty that I'm not contributing to their stream count, which I know other people (fans, promoters, etc) are looking at.

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

Awesome! I have no recollection of watching "Bremen" as a kid though "Cinderella" and "Frog Prince" I remember. I enjoyed "Cinderella" when I watched this past weekend FWIW. Also, these three are available on the Internet Archive if that helps.

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

This isn't so much an endorsement of plex, and moreso a reminder that there ARE other options. And that having a personal collection that you can listen to when you want is fun and feels really good.

Honestly, the most exciting thing has been re-engaging with MY music. I have great taste! But also I have some terrible taste. And I have much broader interests (i.e. not-ska) than spotify would have you believe.

I continue to add to it via bandcamp, itunes downloads, and ripping cds (old and new). Is it perfect? No. Lots of metadata issues. While plex is free, you need to pay to download to the remote device. It's my music. My collection. It works across devices. My phone, other computers, my roku.
