True….

I just assume beer is cheaper to produce and put in a keg….so when I see all these bottles and cans at venues I wonder

The issue is the beer will most likely taste like shit… most places that aren't "beer" focused don't clean lines, mix styles on the same lines, etc

Yeah I did think of that…it’s true too

Some consumers probably prefer cans and bottles

I been burnt a few times myself….

It just seems very inefficient and anti-environmental

not sure how  fusing doom, shoegaze, and sludge becomes “fairy doom", but that's description Faetooth came up with.

Def Leppard's "Rock Of Ages" begins with a voice that says "Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen," which means…nothing.
Producer Mutt Lange got tired of counting the band in with "1, 2, 3, 4…," so he started saying this.

Pro tip don't call your band or self Smoke… I think the highest Smoke artist on discogs is Smoke(131)

this all came about because one of the areas Qobuz isn't so great on is artists that share the same name and for some reason it thinks of the many Smoke's is similar to Splitsville…

After getting back the rights to his songs after 50 years, @JohnFogerty has pulled a @taylorswift13 and released #Legacy - revamped versions of some of the most well known and beloved songs in rock history.

It is still familiar, but it isn’t Creedence - there are a lot of little changes, mostly for the better. The production is great and the Atmos/Lossless version on Apple Music adds a whole new dimension of hidden notes, especially to the more dangerous, darker songs.

It will take a listen or three to get used to, but the beauty is that we have the old and ‘John’s Version’ now.

Isn’t this the opposite of Taylor Swift? He got the rights back while her recordings were the result of not having the rights.

This is a very petty move by John to cut out the rest of CCR from profiting even a dime from the songs.

John really needs to get over it. I been hearing about his woes from 40 years!!!

I wonder if anyone ever formed a band around _not_ liking the Pixies

I was going to say guess the genre and country of origin for Witch Club Satan but it's fairly obvious

so wrong guesses only and based on the Gram they out BATTLESNAKE BATTLESNAKE and appear to shed pieces of clothing live

TIL about Konnakol via Mohini Dey

Based on guidance coming from Bandcamp here are how the unforced tariffs are affecting purchases from there

What items are subject to tariffs?
Tariffs only apply to physical merchandise, not to digital sales.

Currently, there is an exception for “informational media” coming into the United States. That includes vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, books, sheet music, and other items. For personalized support, we recommend connecting with a legal professional.

As it stands now, apparel and other soft goods shipped to the United States ARE subject to tariffs (shirts, hoodies, hats, totes, etc.).


there is other information provided and what a time to live in

"Update the shipping cost to the US to an amount that fans won’t pay. Listing your US shipping cost at $500 should effectively deter buyers."

looks like it's time to smash the system by supporting "informational media" being cranked out by the radical left

the “informational media” exception of course means there might be less fuckery involved in the arrival of my new The Hives album, although that might be shipping from within these shores.  of course tariffs aside most shipping costs from the UK are already insane

I haven’t noticed any difference yet with international orders on most stuff. Shipping costs have gone up drastically the world over.

of course the reason for the  removal of the de minimis expectation for packages is its costs the government more to collect the tariff then the value of the tariff

so much winning and be sure to buy your Made In China MAGA hats from the source

I wonder if DC concert attendance will go down cause of the federal takeover of DC and some people wanting to avoid DC. Seeing some grumbling from people. Restaurant attendance is supposedly down.

I would guess it will go down marginally but since it probably is down a bit already from the post covid boom it’s going to add up.

Yesterday about 5 pm and then 8 pm saw a parked unmarked van on the esplanade by L’Enfant with about six people inside in army fatigues. Weird stuff. This is in addition to seeing groups walking on Wharf with DEA gear.

I would imagine this will be the nail in the coffin for DC… Covid nearly killed it, but this will officially.

I'd imagine multiple bands won't even want to play here, tons of queer/trans/minority folks that support artists and are artists themselves. They already can hardly get by touring, so seems like a no brainer to skip a place that's going to cause more issues for them than benefits. I'd imagine the already hurting restaurant bar scene will continue to get crushed as well.
