Some pretty grim allegations are surfacing about Maynard James Keenan of Tool/A Perfect Circle/Puscifer fame.

Tool meant everything to teenage me, and Aenima is still top 5 all-time records, but I believe the accusers.

How do you respond when one of your favorite artists is outed as a predator? To me, there's no question about future support. I'll never buy another record, see another show, stream another track. Is it acceptable to enjoy records you've already paid for that may pre-date the abuse? What if they coincide with the abuse?

Danny Walker was recently outed as a domestic abuser, and Intronaut did the right thing by firing him immediately. I still have all those records, I listen to them, but I won't stream them.

Undertow and Aenima both pre-date the current accusations about MJK, but it's possible he was doing this stuff during the Aenima tour or even earlier. It's been a few days and no response from the Tool camp. If they do the right thing I'll feel better about hanging on to those two albums, but if not I may have to cut them loose.

Literally the greatest song by the Cure

Pandora has a few odd consistencies across the various stations I've set up, and one of them is playing Dinosaur Jr.'s tune Lightning Bulb on any of the stations.

This makes me happy

Shameless ripoff from a tweet by TankCrimes, but:

Boost or reply if you've ever played a show for 10 people or less.

I'll go first: hell yes, multiple shows where those 10 people were in the other bands.

I think I need a drumkit

Deceptively simple bass lines:

Celebration - Kool and the Gang
Don't Stop Til You Get Enough - MJ

Deceptively challenging bass lines:

September - EWF
Stayin Alive - Bee Gees

Ridiculously overdone sidechain compression is a e s t h e t i c
