Hot take - even as a joke, I don't really like the idea of ppl blaming interns for taking down production
Even on the chance it happened to be true (and there are definitely cases where it wasn't an intern), if an intern was able to do that, that's a problem with the processes and systems in place

This is probably one of the most pretentious things I will ever say about music but I think albums made with streaming in mind are inferior to albums made to listen to end to end.
The sound and feeling they give is completely different and you can tell.
There I said it. I won’t take it back.

While you're celebrating #Menulog closing down, remember: Woolies and Coles delivery is getting less reliable (at least where I am) and platforms like Doordash give me access to Aldi as well as ways to fix my weekly groceries when the orders are (very) wrong.
