Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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.

I was coming here to post that Tim Burgess, the singer of The Charlatans, has been hosting twitter listening parties on twitter with members of the bands that have been pretty great. There was one tonight for Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen with 3/4 of the band that was pretty joyous. There's a lot of great bands on the schedule, including some 80s classics Lloyd Cole, Billy Bragg, The Pogues, Style Council and The Cocteau Twins. (There's also a lot of Britpop I don't know.) Schedule is here: [link]

And now Ellis Marsalis has died. Fuck this disease, and fuck everyone who made it worse. I'm going to bed.
