@rollojackson thanks to
@colloquium_unpopular_culture. big inspo / reminders of the power + joy that comes with regular people who looove music *so much* that it eventually goes down in history. reminders that even if our reach may not be far + grants don't get us, there are people who care about + believe in this with me. our work is deep + personal ~ and i really do love it. underground is way more fun anyways 🕳️
thank y'all for it all 🥰
