Beep beep. Short & sweet because I’ll have more to bug you about soon. But using this giant photo of my face* to blurggle about how it’s Bandcamp Friday today, which means that Bandcamp waives their profit share % and all the artists make more money and isn’t that nice. All to say, it’s a beautiful day to pre-order the new Landlady album .
(*it’s at the bottom and shot by the great Graham Tolbert, using fabric I got while I was in Mumbai a few years ago).
Now, Adam, you might be saying, surely after today you’ll stop yelling about it. Only time will tell, little one, only time will tell.
But I’ll leave you with a tiny story of confusion. Yesterday, on tour in Chicago, I went to the movies alone. I saw Sinners and I sat in the underpopulated front section of the theater, closer to the screen, so I could eat my leftover slice of deep dish in peace while the scary stuff happened real big. There’s only one other person sitting in my row, at the very end. With five minutes left in the movie, a woman comes into the theater, holding a full bag of popcorn and her phone, with the phone flashlight very much on. The lady sidesteps down the row until she’s directly in front of me shines her light in my face and says “you’re in my seat.” I try to explain that, with 5 minutes left in the movie, none of this makes sense, especially the full bag of popcorn. She says “I’m 13C,” and while I do believe she could be 13C in any other theater but the one we’re in right then, I decide to just shuffle two seats down. She leaves the theater immediately. The end!
Thanks for reading, thanks for pre-ordering the record or tape or digital version of the new album , more to come.
Adam
