rancho cucamonga w/ @shannoncurtis ! are we going to be seeing any fedi friends tonight?

an album i recently mixed just came out, and i wanted to share it with you!

i love this band so much; also, they're all poor and don't have money for professional mixing. also also, they have a trans person in the band, and trans musicians need extra support. so i gave them an 85% discount and put in extra care; now they have a world-class record to grow into the next phase of their career with 🏳️⚧️❤️

recommended if you like punk / postpunk / queer music / my work

~~~ NON-USA FEDI FRIENDS ~~~

we're doing a tee+tote giveaway on our site! :kirby:

this can be a GREAT way to get our merch from overseas and not have it ruin you financially

it's not like a contest ... it's a literal giveaway, in which we have simply set prices to "name your own price" with a $0 minimum. just pay shipping and it's yours!

any amount over $0 that you decide to pitch in will go toward our 80s kids 2 album fundraiser 🪩

please don't hoard; thank you

🚨 music production nerd friends: 🤓

Slate just announced a huge sale on Trigger2!

this is their sample-accurate drum triggering / sample-augmentation software. this is an absolutely indispensable part of my workflow; i use it to stack and layer sounds, even for drum machine stuff 👀

it comes with companion Trigger Instrument Editor software which allows you to effortlessly make your own Trigger sample packs out of your own samples 🔑

not affiliated, just a (huge!) fan 🏴☠️

may i present to you the single best video anyone has ever taken at one of our shows :blobwizard:

🚨 MUSIC-PRODUCTION FRIENDS 🤓

shannon & i are home for a couple of months before we go back out, and i'm doing studio stuff in that time ...

i have a couple of records already lined up to mix, and a few records to master. i can fit in another mastering job, maybe two ... and i thought i would open that up to my fedi friends first!

so: if you'd like my ears on something, send me a message, and we can talk about it! i'd love to hear what you're up to.

of all the things that @shannoncurtis & i have made over the last couple decades — and, you guys, we have made so many things — this might be my favorite 🥹🥹

☢️ FEDI FRIENDS: ⛔️

@shannoncurtis and i, with heart in hand, are launching our first album fundraiser in many years! — for our long-awaited upcoming album "80s kids"⚡️🕺

we're doing an accompanying telethon for the next 10 days on shannon's FB and IG Live (sorry) — those are /shannonkcurtis and /shannoncurtismusic respectively

our telethons, if you've never seen one, are extremely fun. it's nonstop banter and laughter AND JAMIE-OKE 👀

goal 1 = $5K! pitch in if you can! https://shannoncurtis.net ❤️❤️

@elsemusic this is so great! go sidesister go 🥰

The Space Between was our response to the shock and horror of the 2016 usa election; unfortunately, it feels newly relevant.

we're presenting it for November 2024 as a single file, intended to be listened to in a single uninterrupted sitting. we hope it helps ❤️

if you'd like to read along, the lyrics are at shannoncurtis.net/TSB2024

n.b. we have a few vinyl left of the album version of this; click "merch" on bandcamp

@shannoncurtis wrote a stunning album here ❤️

sober friends: don't let this be the thing that breaks your sobriety. if anyone needs to talk, i'm here ❤️

cool shot of me and my sweetie at work last night :BlobhajHeart:

ATTENTION MUSIC FRIENDS:

@shannoncurtis and i are planning a "Good to Me" USA tour out to the east coast and back this september / early october! we plan to hit the southwest / midwest / east coast / new england / western usa, in roughly that order

does anyone here want us to come to your town? if so, do you have ideas of where you might like to see us play? can you perhaps even help make it happen? this is a seated 95-minute "evening with" show

eager to hear your ideas ❤️❤️

lots of people buying our record "Good to Me" today for bandcamp friday! thank you so much! we're just waking up after working till 5am on the new 80s kids track, hopelessly behind the ball 😂 SO:

- we have cds

- we have VINYL (mastered by the guy who does all LCD Soundsystem's stuff; it sounds FUCKING GREAT)

- we have hand-screened tee shirts

- bandcamp gives us 100% of all proceeds today

thanks to everyone who's already purchased something — we hope you love it 🖤🏴☠️
