I don't know who said enough of the glorified think pieces, but they've made a powerful enemy today. Big mistake.

Next time - twice the thinks. Two fast two thinkious.

nobody would dare say that TO MY FACE because I would give them such a smack, but those are uniformly my least popular posts and I can read between the lines YOU MONSTERS. anyway I definitely don't plan to actually stop, I just love to complain

A little Liquid Mike would fit nicely here too. Endless circa 2000 vibes.

You also seem to have misheard the naysayers (I blame excessive exposure to post-punk bands) -- all the cool kids want the think pieces AND the music recs.

I just like a good whine, David. I think those pieces should go VIRAL and take great offense when only a handful of people read them. though it's true those are the obvious cool kids (and cool kids, they belong together)

Don’t we all. They should indeed go viral. And yet it seems the appetite for anti-Spotify think pieces is insatiable because that’s all my feed ever coughs up.

FWIW, I really enjoy your think-pieces!

me too!! I'll make more, but I'll shake my fist a bunch when only a few people read them

An offered addition to the Oasis recs - “Souls in Motion” by Pastel.

I never knew that the Stone leader singer was Johns son. I seen Stone at Liverpool Sound City a few years ago. I only stayed to ensure I had a spot to see Yard Act who were just breaking through and was thoroughly pleased I stuck around.
