$40 seems like a lot to see the Go-Go's. I know this is their last tour and stuff but $18-22 seems like the correct price point imo. Please buy my podcast thanks.
HERE IS A COOL (READ: GREAT) IDEA: You know how bands do 'album rollouts' (ie, album cycles, etc.)? They either do a surprise thing or a thing that might go viral or slowly put out songs and/or videos until the whole album is available to stream on TIDAL for 17 days exclusively. There are dozens if not thousands of combinations of how this can happen. It's all very exciting stuff. Well, a popular band/artist that all the blogs follow should just put out a piece of media everyday with a press release like "CHECK OUT THE LATEST ____ (SINGLE, VIDEO, TEASER, WHATEVER) FROM ALBUM X!" And they should do this everyday for at least six years. Wouldn't that be great? At what point, would the blogs and social medias stop giving a shit? I realize this entails actually making that much stuff. But still: A+ idea that would totally make some sick commentary on this content farm culture of ours.
In my review of Interstellar I forgot to mention that the floating plastic bag kid from American Beauty has a pretty sizeable role. I apologize for the error.

• You can't see it here, but there is a satellite dish emoji on my mouth • I wish I had done all lowercase i's on the design of the title • Go Knicks!
MY PROTEST FOR THE DNC BEING HERE IN MY HOMETOWN THIS WEEK WAS LITERALLY NOT SPENDING A PENNY ON ANYTHING. I NEED TO GET GARBAGE BAGS & A CUCUMBER SO THAT'S GONNA CHANGE THIS AFTERNOON, UNFORTUNATELY. ALSO––COMPLETELY UNRELATED-EVERYTIME I SEE SOMETHING ABOUT WILL SMITH DOING MUSIC, I'M LIKE "OH YEA WILL SMITH USED TO DO MUSIC." MAYBE IF A NEW WILL SMITH ALBUM WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT I WOULD VOTE FOR THAT.
