I got home from vacation last week and while opening my mail, I found a letter saying a package wouldn't fit in my mailbox. Soooo...today, I got in the car just a day before the 15 day maximum ( last minute lucy here) hold at the post office passed me by to see what I'd ordered. I'm a big fan of Chan Marshall .. aka Catpower and I pre-ordered her album months and months ago and then completely forgot about it. What a nice surprise! And to top it off .. the perfect timing for a birthday present (coming up on Friday) for my lovely friend Sara. @sarrragee Hope you have a turntable girl!! xoxox On a human level, live music is something we can all benefit from right now but for a lot of us musicians, we’re still pretty much on lockdown.If you want to help musicians and artists survive, even if you can't dip into your pocket, sharing with friends on social media or suggesting a Zoom watch party might mean someone else buys an album. If you’ve been listening on a streaming platform and you find that a particular album is becoming a permanent fixture on your 'recently played' tab, why not go and buy it from an independent record shop or the band's online store!? The fractions of a penny that services such as Spotify pay per play can add up if you’re collecting tens of millions of streams, they don't have much impact if your average track stream count only amounts to a few thousand. #catpowerofficial #CATPOWER #helpartistsgrow #vinyl #vinylcollector | Madison Violet
