When people ask why there are no crossover protest songs anymore I say streaming closed the door to all kinds of things and turned the Top 40 into a narrow elite. Currently: 4 songs by Tate McRae, 3 each by Alex Warren & Benson Boone, 2 each by Ed Sheeran, Sombr & Lola Young. No room for oddities

Amazing writing, as always. You've helped me gain a better understanding of why I love this film so much. Thank you.

The fiction being that the music made with the pedal/instrument will be better because Lynch once owned it.

The latter, methinks 🙂

At half the price, I'll take my pedals un-sprinkled by Lynchian fairy dust, thank you very much.

And how high the bids are already. Apparently a $250 bid for a guitar pedal will actually cost $325 because of extra fees. Uh, no thanks.

It's crazy how much stuff is on the full list.

That track is one of my favourite things I've done as slow_the_tape. Buy/listen here: slowthetape.bandcamp.com/album/the-tr... and/or use one of these codes: slowthetape.bandcamp.com/yum s56u-kknh srzd-6kvv k68c-e9b9 kync-3t4z ktaq-cnjg zz99-we93 zytu-cby4 3kzv-xwnm wzy8-jw56 etky-gs2y

I had this a couple of weeks ago. Weirdly debilitating, especially when teaching a roomful of people how to play the ukulele. Although, in that situation, some would say partial deafness was an advantage.

Orange 🍊 for me, though I like both. One for A-side, the other for B?

(I lent my Earth LP to a friend in the mid-90s, who proceeded to lose it by leaving it on a bus, along with my copy of Hole's Live Through This. Both LP's are now upwards of £60 on Discogs. Grrrr.)

I should probably clarify I didn't write this! It just summed up a lot of my own thoughts 🙂
