Tangents & The Times

Dear World,
Today I want to tell you about two things:
1. How I fucking hate the post office.
2. How I fucking love Gold Robot Records.

So, if you like, have ever glanced at my blog
or if you’re just someone that “GETS” me,
you know my life is scored basically by Monster Rally.

Monster Rally making an LP was a big deal for me, okay? Like, it really was. I hadn’t been this excited to order a record over the internet, in forever. I preordered it and everything! I was like, trying to be supportive of my favorite artists and shit, you know? I love supporting my artists! And I’m kinda poor so you know, I can’t do it all the time so when I do it means a lot to me.

So then, when I get wind that the fucking post office,
fucking LOST MY SHIT, AND BASICALLY, MONSTER RALLY’S MONEY,
I WAS SO FUCKING BEYOND NOT CHILL AT ALL BY ANY MEANS WITH IT.

Basically, I get a note on my door that’s all polite and shit like, “Sorry we missed you! Come pick up your package you lucky-ass bitch! You got mail today! Feel Special!” and you know what, I DID FEEL SPECIAL. I LOVE GETTING PACKAGES. And then I went to the post office & waited in line for like, half an hour WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE, only for some asshole to be like,
“Sorry, you have no mail.”

I was like, “UM, NO I DO. I HAVE A SLIP THAT SAYS SO. IT’S PINK. THAT MEANS IT’S FOR SERIOUS.” and the dude was like, “UM NO YOU DON’T. SOMEONE PROBABLY LOST IT. OOPS. OH WELL. HOPE YOU DON’T FEEL SPECIAL.”

And you know what?
I DIDN’T FEEL SPECIAL.

I went home & did the only logical thing,
and DM’d Gold Robot Records on Twitter.
You know what Gold Robot did?
MADE ME FEEL SPECIAL!

Gold Robot was like, “No worries, it happens, thanks for the support, we’ll send you another” and I felt soooo super bad. I was like, “OMG MY CONTRIBUTION MEANT NOTHING.” which, I mean, it basically didn’t. I basically canceled myself out, which really is not a chill feeling. When you try to support serious jams & get botched by a government agency, it’s just a total bummer.
It’s like, CAN YOU GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK?
YOU WON’T GIVE ME HEALTH INSURANCE,
FOR GOD SAKE’S GIVE ME MY RECORDS!!!

But they don’t, you know. They just go into the back room for another five minutes & come back out & make you feel totally not special.

But tonight, I got my Monster Rally!
With a Roman Ruins 7″ because my other LP got lost!
That is like, the nicest thing someone I don’t know has done for me in so long!
I’m just like, “THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! MONSTER RALLY IS MY #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLUS I LOVE FREE SHIT!!! CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR THESE ROMAN BROS!!!”

After a long day, there is nothing better
than a cheap bottle of wine ran through a Vinturi
& playing some new records.
Especially sea foam green ones.

So, super thank you’s to Hunter & the entire Gold Robot team. Made a girl’s dreams of constant lounge tunes on vinyl come true tonight! Mad spesh!
