Nice. How’d you hear that he re opened his twtr account?

Or more accurately, started a new one

Anybody finds a leak please share...

Found it on slsk
“Lately I tend to make strangers everywhere I go”

So we've got Purple Mountains now.

Walked to a record store today and bought a copy despite not owning a record player or having any friends that do. But I heard it on Downhill Swing. So, the song's about getting old, losing friends, and struggling with depression. References to long cross-country drives alone which seem to match up with some of the photos DCB's posted to his twitter recently. Not a theme I can personally get too excited about, but I trust the guy knows what he's doing and I suspect he's putting those feelings out there as a way offer a connection with anyone who might be dealing with the same stuff.

The music itself didn't do a whole lot for me, but I'm drifting away from indie rock these days anyway.
