Small suggestion: get ready and excited for this by playing through the record a few times. Maybe even purchase it. 💁🏾‍♂️

Wish I could look musicians in their eyes and say with my chest that I know shit is horrible for a lot of you right now but y’all stay keeping my ass alive. You don’t know the impact some chords, notes, lyrics have on a person sometimes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ✨

My middle child has been hospitalized all week with some complications from her Crohn’s disease so I stayed away from this place out of necessity for most of the week. Still made y’all a mix. It’s mostly for me and my momma. Wishing y’all health and happy in the new year. ❤️

Begging any artist to give more of a damn about that kid to whom your record means the world to than any kind of incorporated good job sticker. That shit is cool and can feel alluring, but that kid singing your record back to you at a show .. that’s timeless

To smaller artists. There are people out there like me who still just love music, I promise. You don’t have to be the coolest, cleverest, prettiest, or the best on Twitter. Be true to your art and make people feel something. It still matters. I know it did to me.

If I’m naming at least one of my favorite records from this year it’s the @xgregmendezx self titled. Greg is one of my OG pals here. Being able to experience this record early on and through the process was the ultimate gift from one of the coolest and kindest humans ever.

Yo I am not at Fauxchella. It’s important that diy knows there is so much diversity at LGR and in your scene at large. Not every black guy is Curtis. I promise. They are most likely way more talented and way more lit than I am. Y’all better than that.

A lot of people in the music industry are about to tell y’all to ramp down. That whole “quiet end of the year time”. I personally think that’s when those of us who care about music and musicians should be making the most noise. It would be worth you time to 1/3

A really good friend said something to me about believing in restorative justice that doesn’t involve someone being able to just grab their platform back. You can make mistakes but that shouldn’t lead to you just easily getting it all back. I feel like that’s fair.

I’ve begun to feel like the way I digest and love music is in itself a privilege. As a music fan I feel so far away from most of my peers. Like I’m still that weird dude who was way too into cheering. Y’all, I was an actual cheerleader irl. Yet still I can’t help but 1/4

I must admit I sometimes wonder what’s the point? Why spend so much time and energy to make music and put it out into the world? Then I remember how much joy it gives me just to make something I’m proud of and how the process of making makes me a better a human. This is my why.

Update on mercy: she’s still admitted there were talks of transfers to a different facility. She has to have more drains placed. They want to handle things that way versus a more intense surgery due to her Crohn’s. 9days in she just wants to go home Thanks again for the kindness

When we talk about restorative justice , in this manner, we are speaking of the persons ability to grow and become a better version of themselves. Not an equally or more financially lucrative version of themselves. Some of y’all are promoting impunity not mercy!

Pro tip: if you have limited resources for @Bandcamp Friday. Look for Comps you can support, people who offer a reduced price for purchasing their entire catalog, and also name your own price releases. You may not always be able to do tons but can show love in your own way. 🙏🏾

Take care of your health where you can. Be good to yourselves and others, as hard as that can be sometimes. Get your cancer screenings if you’re at that point in life. Listen to good music, eat good food. Mostly love yourself because you’re worth it. It’s all too short not to.

Count me as one of the people who will never tell someone how to navigate their pain. I’ve made this mistake before in close friendships because I was trying to “help” them. Turns out I was just trying to make me feel like I could help. Helping is offering what’s asked for.
