lastfm is no place for blank album covers and faceless artist pages. my script now fixes both, so I can stop doing it manually. no band deserves to look like a default user icon. no more blank pages for your beautiful little bands.

number x number music, tunes, hell yeah

Nothing like coming home to see that, somehow, my personal and 'DIY Music is Cool' twitter accounts have blue checks. I didn’t pay for shit, but...someone did? The billing info on the now cancelled subs is not mine. Now I look like I’m funding that nazi clown car of a website. This is my nightmare.

y'all don't understand how much I need to make it to this show

sunday trend participation just to tell @phoneswithchords.bsky.social that I love the new album. oh and the last one. the one with +10 to cry damage. and the other cry inducer, with no Ben. lofi emotional assault one is also good. but for real, I can't express how thankful I am for your music.

Maybe out of fashion. But kindness and compassion can lift us out of so much of this nonsense.

weird week = weird grid here’s an 8x7 for your troubles. no squares, just vibes.

before anything new can grow, something old has to fall away. we’re always becoming. even if it starts with being broken. feat. Ben Sooy / @aplaceforowls.bsky.social on the @5atthedoor.bsky.social podcast

I took a month off to disassociate into the drywall but GUESS WHO’S BACK with 75 new songs that slap harder than intrusive thoughts at 3am? that’s right. The Listening List lives.

yes i disappeared for a month, yes i’m okay-ish now, and YES the Listening List is BACK. With 75 new songs from the past week, this is hotter than a record left in a hot parked car. March recap playlist is loading… ˚｡⋆links below⋆｡˚

Just stumbled on this absolutely killer mathy pop-punk EP that dropped today from a UK band, Ohio Stomach Aches. I can’t find anything else about them online, but this rips. Definitely worth a listen: ohiostomachaches.bandcamp.com/album/preocc...

based on most of the profile pics popping up in my notifications, a whole lotta baddies are headed for a tinnitus-filled future.

do not ask millennial emos for album recs, unless you’re cool with opening a floodgate. thank you everyone though! i’ve added everything so far to this playlist, & including the one @starkcontrast.bsky.social made: 907 songs, 58 hours and 5 minutes of feelings. open.spotify.com/playlist/0In...
