All in LONG PULLS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ LOGAN AND NATHAN

Why 'Name Your Price, No Minimum' Is Better Than A 'Free Download'
“If "free download" is the only option available to someone visiting your album page, then you have not only taken away that fans choice of showing you a little financial appreciation, but you have also taken from that fan the possibility of being able to add your release to their Bandcamp Collection.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JULIE ARSENAULT
“The tape had "Julie Andrews" written on it. I thought that meant the tape belonged to my brother and I (his first name is Andrew). So, since it was taped especially for me, I watched it every day. It is magical.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ KING ROPES
“Whatever happiness and mental health stability I have, I have to give a lot of credit to riding a bike.“
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SIGNIFICANT OTHER
“Finding things that pop you out of negative or moody moments. Its different for everyone and sometimes different depending on the day! But equally important!”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ THE VELVOIDS
“On an everyday, more down-to-earth level, I’m going to go with cooking. Cooking will mellow you out.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SCIENCE IS FICTION
“Find something you enjoy doing, whether you’re good at it or not, and make time for that. It’s a self-prescription for your mental health. I’d recommend making music!“

Everyday Is A Good Day To Start Meditating
“In a way, meditating is kinda like micro-dosing the red pill everyday—so just think of sitting down to meditate as how you take your most important daily vitamin.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MERCE LEMON
“Talk to the cats on your walk home.”
