I have been a customer of Tunecore's since 2008. I am a premium subscriber, which is supposed to get you a one business day response time. I wrote to them three times regarding this and received zero responses.

Spotify was completely unhelpful. They took 30 minutes to say the same thing the warning email said. They also told me they had no way to detect where the streams came from. That was untrue. I found them. Four months prior to sending me a warning. Well after I could've done something about it

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

I've been accused of artificial streaming by Spotify and Tunecore. I did no such thing. After a week, Tunecore still hasn't responded. I pulled my music to avoid their fines. Is anyone doing anything about this? This is criminal. I want to help hold them accountable for ripping off their customers.

Did you know I have records, cassettes, cds, and shirts? And if you go to www.slackeyeslim.com and enter the code DADDYSBIGFINGER, everything's 50% off. How about a shirt from a band that some guy from Cleveland once described as "you=suck." I don't just want your money. I also want your love.

Hey country music fans, please check give my good friend @rachelbrooke.bsky.social a follow. Shes new here. And listen to her music if you don't already know her.

I just reread this and, God, I sound like a douchebag, haha

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

I have! I wish there was more of that kind of stuff. I was one of the founding members of that genre back in the early 2000s but it kind of fizzled out. Now I'm too old to be cool

Twentynine Palms, California. See you next time. Stay hard.

Excellent, thank you. Will get them on queue tonight

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Haha, yep. I've just finished recording my friend's kid's album. It's definitely not something I'd listen to if I didn't know him, but it was really fun to make, and my daughter loves it

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I'm into anything really. My wife used to book house shows in the 90s for Midwest emo bands in Madison, WI. She tolerates my musical schizophrenia, haha

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Got any favorite concept albums? Or just favorite albums in general? We are going on a 9 hour road trip this weekend and I'm gonna be putting together a bumch of stuff to listen to on the way.

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

It's not gonna stop me from looking for good ones!

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Real life makes the best art. I got a little carried away with my last one though and think I got too personal. There's definitely a fine line

110

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Yep, I wasn't trying to knock any of the bigger names. I make music I like, primarily. I gather from listening to yours that you do too. I can't pin a particular "scene" or genre that you fit into. It's great

110

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Couldn't agree more. Or at the very least, a theme. When I was in my 20s, I wrote an an album about growing up pentecostal, but put it in the perspective of a crazy gunfighter dude in the old west. I just love taking a story and manipulating it so it seems like fiction

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

By booted, I don't mean I did anything wrong. It just got a lot more accessible and became less of a niche thing. People stopped looking for the creative stuff and latched on to things with mass appeal

110

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Haha, that is the question. I gave up on social media a couple years ago after getting booted out of the scene I helped create in the early 2000s. I came here to see if there's a way to rebuild the kind of grassroots enthusiasm that existed in the early days of social media

110

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I mainly write concept albums. Don't know why. I just get stuck on a theme and explore it. There's something about going back to an album again and again, trying to understand how it all connects and what it means

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I thought you were my buddy Tom Clissold. But I was wrong. Nice to meet you!

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I get a kick out of murder folk having that name. We used to just call it shitty country. I think this was like 2009. The banjo player is Joe Perreze (ex Goddamn Gallows) and drummer is Eric whose last name I can't remember. youtu.be/W8SApY_r7bM?...

Things get weird after 14 hours of recording...

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I hope so too. Your misfortune may have made someone's day, even though it still sucks

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

That's awful! Perhaps some lucky trash picker found it and took it home. I found an old Pioneer SX1980 stereo receiver in the dump once. Couldn't believe someone threw it out

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

I'm jealous. I'm still upset at myself for passing on a farfisa that was for sale for cheap around here a few years ago

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I'm sure I will! Wow, that is extremely rare these days. Very cool

110

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

It did! Can't wait to listen on my stereo after work

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I was just thinking about this last night and came to the same conclusion.

Cool! I've been digging your music. Glad to have met you!

Thank you for doing what you're doing. I will keep an eye out

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

I would love that. I have a hard time getting people to listen because I don't fit in anywhere

Slackeye Slim @slackeyeslim.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Yeah! He accepted a baritone guitar as payment too. He's got a new band in the works. I don't think they even have a name yet. Heavy as hell. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they come up with

I hesitated to post this because I don't mean it as self promo. But maybe this will give you some inspiration for a holiday themed song about mental illness and addiction youtu.be/w1_o8tLxr3A?...

Awesome! Trevor (guitar) is an old friend of mine from high school. He came all the way out here to record my last album too. He's a good dude

My friends have an instrumental doom band called The Long Hunt. I don't think they're on here, but they're in Pittsburgh and i think they play quite a few shows. You might dig them youtu.be/meeHfrW0qpg?...
