yuuuuuup exactly. I wrote all the songs and do all my vocals at home, but I have to pay for other musicians, mixing, mastering, photographers, physical distribution, digital distribution - and I barely have the means.

awful. and think about that figure - $100k! - it's such an investment of finances *and* personal time. with such a low return and people thinking of music as a passive, low-cost to free kind of art... it's dire.

I spiral when I think about the fact that I'm just... me, trying to finish my album, and then I read about titans like Garbage struggling. the industry is completely broken and I continue losing hope it will get better in my lifetime.

who became a big Robyn fan in 2010 but hasn't listened to her debut? cuz you should. it's a breezy smooth pop album with all the Swedish melodic trappings. Just Another Girlfriend! The Last Time! How! not to mention the singles that still sound fresh. Show Me Love - not everybody has one of those

disturbing that this album is almost a decade old. but what a moment. unhinged yet polished, sexy and dark. proof that Jack Antonoff is only as good as what his collaborator provides.
