@samvarma@fosstodon.orgAlmost word for word how I have felt for at least the last decade. GC abandoned the high-end after the financial crisis in 2008, which is what really allowed companies like Reverb & CME to flourish.
In 2024 the only justification for brick and mortar is an experience that can't be had anywhere else.

When shipping clerk and former musician Frank Johnson died in Chicago in 1979 at the age of 67, his family was shocked to discover 2,300 pages of comics in bound notebooks that apparently nobody knew about. When his widow passed away in 2003, the notebooks were put up for sale, and comics expert Dan Nadel happened upon them (according to editor Chris Byrne).

@AccordionBruce@Mastodon.social🪕 Rhiannon Giddens just wants to talk about the banjo.
Beyoncé was listening 🪕
By Janay Kingsberry
The Grammy- and Pulitzer Award-winning musician was tapped to collaborate on ‘Cowboy Carter’
There’s a joke Rhiannon Giddens tells during her shows — though maybe it’s more of a disclaimer
“Oh, Jesus, somebody hide me because she’s going to talk about the banjo or slavery or both!”

I started listning to Billy Nomates years and years ago. Not every song of hers is my cup of tea but I like her voice and her somewhat prickly view of the world.
“Tor Maries is an English musician and songwriter who performs under the stage name Billy Nomates. Her stage name, Billy Nomates, was taken from an insult directed at her when she turned up at the gig on her own.”
I was not happy to learn about the online abuse she’s endured

But in 2009, Norwegian jazz musician turned cosmic dust hunter Jon Larsen began combing through hundreds of kilograms of urban dust particles, searching for cosmic dust. In 2017, Larsen and colleagues, including Van Ginneken, published a semi…
