How Much Is an Album Worth in 2020: $3.49? $77? $1,000? Maybe $0 (Published 2020)
It depends who’s selling. As some artists release records that feel like footnotes to bigger businesses, others double down on their value.

Haha, I jinxed myself on media mail. That eBay item I asked the seller to switch to MM from First Class dissapeared into a void for a week, even though it was projected to arrive this past Monday. It showed up again on tracking finally last night, but in Memphis, which is the wrong direction.
It was coming from Knoxville.

Is there a real reason that some people charge for 1st class instead of media mail? Does it offer any benefits?
RIP Carl Reiner.
Anyone not following VMP and didn't see a Craft announcement like me, I, Jonathan is finally getting pressed. Available from Craft and VMP:
I, Jonathan (LP)
I, Jonathan is the fourth studio album by Jonathan Richman, released by Rounder Records in 1992. As a founding member of the influential proto-punk band The Modern Lovers, Richman built a reputation for conveying authentic emotions and storytelling with his music. Stepping out as a solo artist...

I, Jonathan
The first ever vinyl release of Jonathan Richman's finest solo album, we have 'I, Jonathan' on summer sky blue vinyl, as part of our collaboration with Rounder Records for the label's 50th anniversary.

Wife had a COVID scare and a cancer scare in the same week. Both came back negative thankfully. Of course still always worried about COVID and we still have to worry about surgery for the mass, but a huge relief!
Boiled is the best way to eat peanuts. Happy to die on that hill.
Check out the debut album from Brigid Dawson, of Thee Oh Sees fame. Moody, slow-burning psych. At times she seems to channel Grace Slick. Not just that though, a mix of genres.
New IDLES. Dig the video.
Damn, RIP Fred Willard. Didn't realize he was as old as he was.
@Woob_woob and @Dead C, can't remember who else was interested, weren't we waiting on a Hypermagic Mountain reissue last year? Did I dream that? I missed it at least, looks good.

PSA: Please don't kill things because you are afraid they might be murder hornets. The coverage of that was insanely overblown clickbait. 2 have been found in the US, 1 was dead. People are killing tons of innocent harmless insects in response. Don't be them, thanks!
RIP Florian Schneider. Without him music wouldn't be the same today.
Honored to share a birthday with the likes of @GritNGlitter and @Crabbers! Have a great one y'all! Thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes, I'm lucky to be a member of this community.
Happy happy!
