B-sides are like the middle children of releases. Becoming increasingly more rare and forgotten. I like releasing 2 tracks at once. Gives people something extra if they like the first bite or another flavor. If you do enough of them you get to release a b-side comp later on.

It’s like 70 degrees and sunny in Boston and my dog will not come inside. She knows.

Forgot it’s anime Boston weekend until I got on the tufts green line tonight. Thought i walked into an episode of my hero academia for a hot second there. I’m home safe now
Loved this book series. The tv series wasn’t bad either. I trust Coogler to knock this one out of the park.
My reaction to anything coming out of the current admin
(I say this as someone who rarely plays in standard anymore and plays riffs all the time). Focusing on melody and rhythmic textures between instruments excites me more these days than the arms race that is chasing after riff heaviness. At some point it all starts the sound the same
Or Mac and cheese
