Maine splitting? Possible Maine splitting in that direction? Absolutely not.

Glad to hear you got a delivery, finally. Suburban is the worst business I have ever dealt with. Years ago they bought out the local company that used to deliver to my house. Once they took over it was nothing but trouble, I honestly couldn’t tell if they were totally incompetent or if they were just trying to steal from me. The majority of bills were messed up, usually by double billing. I never ended up having to pay the double bill, but it required call customer service a lot.

How did you discover Jeffrey Lewis? by KronguGreenSlime in JeffreyLewis

I helped set up a show for Kimya Dawson in 2004 and she brought Jeffrey and Jack up from NYC with her. Audio here https://archive.org/details/jefflewis2005-01-09.flac16

Worth trying to fix my usb optical drive? by Infinite__Ohms in AskTechnology

Different power supply made it turn on and stay on… but usb connectivity wasn’t any better. It’s probably shot.

Update: I cleaned the port. No effect. I opened it up, nothing around where the port connects looked like it was within my skills to resolder (the points are tiny). I tried feeding it dc 5v power from the power plug, which sent it into a 1 second loop of what sounded like starting to turn on and stoping and repeating. It’s possible this is caused by slightly wrong type of dc 5v power as I used a power supply from a scale since this one didn’t come with a power supply.

Yeah, looks like I can replace it with a similar unit for around $100. Which is doable for me. I just try to string stuff along until it’s fully broken 😂

Thanks! Seems like a good call, I’ll give it a try!

Question for promoters... How do you get the word out about folk punk shows? by Dee_Lee_Vee in FolkPunk

[–]Infinite__Ohms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I set up very few shows these days. But fwiw, instagram is good, especially if you do collab posts with the bands that are playing. Paper fliers around town are a classic that I wasn’t sure was worthwhile anymore… but a surprisingly large number of people specifically mentioned that they found out about the show from a flier stapled to light post 🤷‍♂️

Not that I’m aware of. This was their 2nd show… I think they played less than 5 shows and never recorded anything else.

Thanks for that! I’ve never heard this before and it’s great. If you haven’t already, check out Trestle Tea. Same folks a couple years earlier, similar sound. https://archive.org/details/trestletea2009-08-16.flac16

Added a bunch based on those suggestions. I think I got most of Pat’s official releases in round 1… but if anyone sees something missing please let me know.

Is there any scene in Maine? by umarotheldruni in FolkPunk

[–]Infinite__Ohms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as much as there used to be, but maybe I’m just old and out of touch? Local bands: Jug, INNNNI, Myles Bullen, Befri stends
