It's a tangent, but I've found the differences in reactions between Rosentock's merch cut post and those of Karly Hartzmans's take on touring/SxSW really interesting. Both were railing against the current realities of touring artists, but the reactions could not've been more different- at least on my timeline(s).
That's a really interesting point. I feel like Wednesday got a lot of unnecessary heat for their post where a lot of other musicians wanted to prove a point about paying your dues. Jeff only got some mild pushback from elder punks—he really started a conversation.

P.S. Here's to late drive drives in a Civic!

What’s this Wednesday post you speak of?
Not the hugest Slowdive fan, but the front half of the new album is mighty impressive - will keep listening!
