The Garages released their double LP concept album, Disciple, last night, and had a watch party and Q&A on Twitch. This are always great community Blaseball events. Everyone who can gathers in the chat and basically screams at the songs, and if they already know them, shout out lyrics (in a text-base sense). I managed to ask one singer how they can sing one of my favorite songs of all time (not just a Garages song) “The Ballad of the Unremarkable Derrick Krueger” without crying. Answer: They can’t, which is vindicating, because neither can I.
This morning I finished the Garages Q and A, and emailed their anachro-syndicalist label to say, yes, please make CDs, I will buy them. And then I listened to Discipline over and over again. My vinyl copy, delayed by shipping snafus and COVID and PVC shortages because of the whole Texas thing in February, finally has a shipping date in November. I cannot wait to listen to it when it gets here.
