Every time I am at the grocery store or Target, I find shopping carts in disarray. I mutter to myself every time “what the hell is wrong with people” as I put away the stray or disorganized carts.

What is the obsession with flying cars? People can’t navigate 4 way stops or roundabouts much less adding another dimension to figure out. If this comes to pass there will be a lot of carnage. Can I get a nice train system?

@fistfulofdave Oh right, yes... they probably should not exist. I haven't checked in on that bullshit for a while. It's actually happening now!?

@rasterweb yeah, I should have linked the article I was reading.

So to get all of the new songs physically you need to buy four different versions of the album. The vinyl are double lps. That’s bullshit and a crap way to treat your fans.

@fistfulofdave That’s how you treat “customers” I guess…

@fistfulofdave I’m gonna go just for some of the other bands!

I have a Facebook lurker account for some bands and restaurants that only have a presence. That’s all I follow. Every few days the send me “friend” suggestions. Never anything to do with what I follow. It’s usually been high school girls or people pretending to be a high school girl. That’s fucked up. Today I got one from a woman that apparently works at Hustler. Seems to me like Facebook is promoting sex trafficking. Maybe the US DOJ should take a look?

purchase. My Nation of Ulysses CDs when missing. Replacing. Provocative early 90s Discord Records stuff.

@fistfulofdave Great album! I tend to like everything Ian has done though.

There are good people still making for profit software. Rogue Amoeba apps are top notch and have been for years. I find their tools essential for my audio needs. Mac only, which I’m sure people will bitch about but there was a time where it was the norm on a Mac to have great small company apps that were Mac only.

I get the Beatles = $ but how much more do we need to know. What important information do we not have? And what detail can you get from a mainstream film? Let’s delve into other bands maybe.

@fistfulofdave I recommend the Schlong doc “A Punk Side Story” instead.

rasterweb,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@fistfulofdave I enjoyed it. Lots of great stuff, and just a little sadness mixed in. Pretty sure I saw some local stuff in it, maybe some flyers for Madison or some art from people I know.

Supposedly a relative of Leonard Bernstein wrote a letter to Schlong saying that legally they should take action against the release of their album "Punk Side Story" but it was so incredibly well done that they would just allow it.

I'm wating to see someone in those Trump shoes get out of a rusty Cyber Truck in the wild.

@fistfulofdave I wonder what the Venn diagram looks like for buyers of Trump shoes, cyber trucks, and apple vision headsets.

I follow quite a few bands and labels on and it astounds me how many albums some indie labels release, one seems weekly another bi-weekly. I have no idea how they do it, what they do with inventory or are they selling that much?

I love when I am requested to come into the office and every meeting is held on Teams even though most everyone is in the same building. I also love I can sit there all day and no one in office talks to me. Now I am officially remote so not common.

@fistfulofdave oh wow yeah. I've been fully remote even pre covid but my wife's company (it's a BIG one) are dinosaurs about it and insist she comes in. She kinda hates wfh anyway. But it's a long drive. And yeah pretty much everything is on Teams. Nuts.

fistfulofdave, to Paramore
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

I’m sure Paramore (the band) mean well by leaving a major label but becoming ambassadors of Record Store Day where major labels flood the market with pointless reissues. Making it difficult for indie bands and labels from pressing albums.

fistfulofdave,
@fistfulofdave@mastodon.social avatar

@jake4480 my wife too. Although that’s her alone drive time music I don’t have to hear. I guess she never needs to hear weird 80s indie metal. 🤣

jake4480,
@jake4480@c.im avatar

@fistfulofdave oh, luckily yeah she doesn't play it around me. I don't know how much she still does even, maybe some? More from her youth. But things like, she follows the singer on TikTok and the other day I got to hear her butcher a Talking Heads song. Which was disturbing. 🤣 and yeah, my wife likes metal too but exactly, not ALL the weird shit I listen to. She wasn't nearly as excited about the new Organectomy single as I was. 🤣😂🤣
