This makes me happy for you!
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.

Ticketmaster needs to be burned to the ground, but the staff at venue box offices are sweethearts and deserve good things.
GUESS WHO'S GOING TO SEE MCR IN TACOMA AND L.A.?!

Last time I used ticket master, I had to download the app because it woudn't let me make the purchase from either computer.

I'm going to be trying to get BTS tickets next week, and am already very tired just thinking about Ticketmaster.

Some dude on Twitter ("I've literally been a music business major and music journalist for a decade") was telling people that the Ticketmaster "demand-driven" and "certified ticket reseller" nonsense were things that had to be approved by the performers: "Ticketmaster does do 'flex pricing,' but it has to be approved by the artist and their teams. MCR said yes."
My reply: "I'm literally someone who has worked for over a decade on e-commerce and demand-driven database tech, and I'm here to tell you that you are absolutely WRONG. This is entirely on Ticketmaster & co., not the artists. You may have been *told* differently, but the "demand-driven dynamic pricing" plan is dictated by back-end project planning/code/database/implementation of the ticket selling company. If artists try to sidestep those companies, booking venues is impossible."
Funny, dude didn't have a reply to that.

Oh, man. Kenny Rogers has left the building forever.
How long has he been around? Long enough I remember him singing "The Gambler" on the original Muppet Show.

Ann, that's a ferret.
He was one of the New Christy Minstrels back in the mid '60s. A long and highly varied career, once you factor in the First Edition.

If people are interested in kinda folk goth, The Amazing Devil released The Horror and the Wild on Spotify the other day. I've been listening to it a lot. The second track and Farewell Wanderlust especially.
