Less complaining. More doing cool shit. Build your own house if no one is opening doors for you.

John Wilson was at the show I went to last night and I didn’t wanna say hi to him because every other dude in Boston just kinds of looks like that

Guitar pickup and cymbal choices are something a lot of people overlook during the preproduction/studio set up phase. It’s amazing how much they can change the vibe of a recording. You don’t need to record with the gear you gig with.

It’s hot when drummers are the most unproblematic member of the band, but also somehow more worrisome.

I’m a guitarist so when people use the phrase “change your tune” I’m probably thinking about giving DADGAD a whirl again

Everything between Halloween and Marathon Monday just absolutely sucks in Boston. This is why when someone wants me to talk about their kid coming to college here that’s from further south I try to tell them to come visit in the middle of December because that’s how most of the school year is.

B-sides are like the middle children of releases. Becoming increasingly more rare and forgotten. I like releasing 2 tracks at once. Gives people something extra if they like the first bite or another flavor. If you do enough of them you get to release a b-side comp later on.

Loved this book series. The tv series wasn’t bad either. I trust Coogler to knock this one out of the park.

Today’s hot (but maybe lukewarm?) take: describing a band’s sound as indie rock without anything else descriptive indicates a lack of creativity and music history knowledge.
