Sorry, Epiphone, but who the actual thinks an Olive Drab Firebird is attractive?
Doesn't anybody at Gibson have filters?

Happy December 1 - It's Bandcamp Friday! Meaning your favorite musicians can get just a little more from your CD or download purchase - 1 CD nets more than 1500 streams! All the CDs in my shop are same price as download + under-cost s&h (and you get the download as well) - gotta make room for the next!
Support your favorite indie and pick up a stocking stuffer or 2!

there's way too much emphasis on test scores & way too little on developing a well-rounded person who has any idea what their interests might actually be, now.

Awaiting all the news reports referring to Kissinger's legacy as "problematic," which understates the case by several orders of magnitude....

Okay, wet blanket here. Your Spotify wrapped is a nice opportunity to put a bow on that relationship and move on, because very soon they will cease paying small timers like me (and, quite likely, someone you know and like, esp. deep cuts) and funnel all that money up to the big guys, under a false pretense of preventing fraud. Other apps sound better (Tidal, Qobuz, e.g.) and will not be stealing from the little guy, esp. if listeners show their disapproval of the Green Death Star.

Ok, CoSo fam, guess it's time to let you know I have a "seasonal" track out there - (from 2015...this is the one that pays the aggregator bill 😅) Available wherever you stream (bandcamp link for download, should you be so generous, on website in bio).

Youngest announced yesterday they are having yet another child (4th) - assured us that after this one, "we're going to yeet the ute."

Why, yes, I do have a sale for BlackSmallBusinessCyberFridaySaturdayMonday - through 12/3, tees are $12.50 (!) and big discounts on everything else in the merch store - theislen.threadless.com - order now!

(end of commercial - back to regularly scheduled CoSo World)

Be safe if you're traveling tomorrow, and remember, pie is a food group!

Every corner of the music business that helps anyone below the toppermost of the poppermost is being hoovered up and ruined.

Spotify has gotten the boot from our little corner. Enough of the world is funneling all the benefits to the top - not supporting Ek going the same way. (Ain't paying me, I ain't gonna pay you!) If you stream, I hope you also find other ways to support your favorites, and please know that there are alternatives (better sounding ones, at that!) to the big green ball.

I'm sure someone has already posted this under , but...great songwriter and band at the top of their game:

Can't get software to work right at home, company network went nuts today as well. The machine rebellion is here, I guess...

Let's be honest - Ted Cruz is busy building a right-wing media career. He has no interest in the actual work of governing (if he ever did). His seat is simply a means for gaining photo ops and firehosing his bullshit out to the rubes.

Oh yeah, and he should be in irons.

Time for early Christmas shopping! 20% off your order in the merch store with the code EXTRA20 !
All sales benefit World Central Kitchen! Shirts, art prints, everything in your basket is included.

It's ! The best day to support your favorites - and you know, CDs are great stocking stuffers! Go get music you can hold or downloads in your favorite format!
