I knew about the BLM stuff, but hadn't heard about their pandemic-related nonsense.

Good on you though OceanOfMead for the decision you made to move on. Might seem silly to some, but I'm sure it was not easy to arrive in that place. Or maybe it was and that would make you a better person than I. Still struggling to give up on Mark Kozelek. I mean I have, but...just sucks.

Apparently Vice has been researching the article since July, which was why it was so thorough, but it was Isaac posting about COVID after people were watching to see if they would publicly fuck up again that articles started coming out left and right. I’ve been active in the Reddit, I just feel more comfortable posting about it there, but yeah. I still have my room for their 2022 Back to the Island because I had booked it before everything came out and when they moved 2021 to 2022 they gave us 3 weeks to decide to bail on our rooms/roommates, etc. My thinking at the time was I still want to drink at a swim up bar with some friends I don’t have many other opportunities to see, but I am pretty mad at them. I may still dump my spot.

Oh. Well fuck that guy.

I personally wrote that chief off long ago.

I hadn't heard of the sexual allegations. Not surprised though.

I like(d) his music, but never enough to see him live or read anything about him. But yeah, it's pretty clear he's been a homie his whole career.

I saw Sun Kil Moon in 2014 on the Benji tour and it was an amazing show. Definitely well known he’s an asshole and difficult person to work with, and I had no qualms about seeing him then. But the sexual assaults are a huge step up from typical asshole musician. I can’t comfortably support him now.

I know I’m on the outside hire. I enjoy the dead and phish but, boy sets fire is the best band ever.

This is me. Have seen him live a couple times and definitely had an off-putting stage presence to say the least. I was a pretty big fan - at least before he started into his weird stream of consciousness talk-songs. But yeah, I'm done with him now. Still have a couple of his records, but can't bring myself to listen to them and I doubt my shop would take them in trade.

Do local moms still meet up and burn records or run them over with steam rollers?

 

[kbuzz]

Is this the future of live music?

If yes, I can get on board. Mostly cause it’s better than no live music.

Very excited about this.

I fucking love this song, I love this video. I love everything about it. I show this to people all the time, yet for some reason I can't remember the name of the song...

One of my favorite bands of all time, Too Much Joy, has a new album coming out after an indiegogo campaign. Tonight they did a zoom hangout for people who contributed and it was fucking great. I would love more bands to do something like that.

Saw Questlove recently post this same song to his Instagram feed. Is there some reason for renewed interest in it right now?

Partially I think it's Americans getting hip to all those crazy RAI TV playbacks in the 70's and 80's. The Italian taxpayer was funding some crazy shit back then.

It hit the front page of Reddit. Why that post saw so much interest?

I guess this fits in this thread? Anyway it’s a cool IG account focussed on The Kids.

If these guys didn’t form a high school band they probably should have.

It just feels like there's an awful lot of fabric in that picture, way more than there needs to be.

For folks who have asked previously about the Good Music events on the last couple of BandCamp Fridays.

20 years ago lots of people’s clothes were too big.

There’s plenty of sharp suited mods on there too that are era appropriate.
