🎶 Turns out the great Vinyl market drought was an error. Here’s Discogs with the explainer:

You’ve likely felt the panic this week: Vinyl sales are reportedly down by (a somewhat ironic) 33.3%, marking the first decline in 17 years. Inflation and industry greed are to blame. But these headlines didn’t paint the entire picture.

[…] Discogs contacted Chris Muratore, director of partnerships at Luminate, who confirmed that the reported data is incorrect. Vinyl sales are actually up 6.2 percent. Billboard has since added language to their “Market Watch” report, clearing up the error.

🎶 “The Fray” released a new album last week and I was wondering why it sounded so different. Turns out, the lead singer is no longer in the band and owns a record store now… #TheFrayIsBack #HowToSaveALife

🎶 As a Punk Rock kid, I’ve been having a lot of fun with Dan Ozzi’s “Sellout” audiobook and getting to (re-)discover different punk bands.

A recent favorite: The Donnas!

# John Mayer (Solo, Live in Paris)

3/25/24

🎶 About last night:

My all-time favorite artist (John Mayer) playing his very first concert in Paris. It was my second time seeing John after attending the Paradise Valley tour back in 2013

It was really cool to see him take the stage by himself for 2 hours! John played mostly acoustic, but it was an opportunity to hear songs from every single album he put out (with the additions of In Your Atmosphere and his iconic Free Fallin' cover!
