uhhhhhhh I made this half hour video where I talk into the camera about the Minneapolis indie rock band 12 Rods, who are releasing a NEW ALBUM, their FIRST in TWENTY-ONE YEARS, called IF WE STAYED ALIVE, this Friday!

the formatting is off, particularly in the literal like first minute of the video. I edited this on a laptop whose trackpad doesn’t work using an internet browser video editor. I used the touchscreen it’s a chromebook.

let me cook

editing this solely on the touchscreen in a horrifying web browser editor (see para 2) was genuinely one of the most frustrating technological experiences I've ever had. I have no other laptop

It's fitting that the formatting is messed up on your post about Sputnik getting professional.

The song vs. talking volume is so skewed and sudden, hilarious.

Great content! Checking gay? now, never listened to these guys.

robertsona

I legit tried to turn down the volume in this touchscreen web browser video editor, but I think all of that was somehow negated in the exporting.

robertsona
07.06.23
awesome. the three singles are kinda hmm and are 3/7 of the 29 minute album but I'm ready. if he knocks it out with even one then fuck, sure.

Also I love the new album. It feels very special albeit in a way that’s kind of slight/minor. It’s more consistent and a better full listen than Lost Time and Separation Anxieties, maybe even gay to some extent for me. I was wrong to doubt them. Also Ryan sent me a nice note back when I told him how much I loved how the album closes, which I really do. I didn’t even like “Twice” when it came out and now it provides the album with one of the best closing 30 seconds ever imo, so moving and romantic

makes some level of sense to me: they made it in high school; it’s got the tape-size cover. It’s good, but it’s worse than everything else.

I watched this again it’s not bad

I really enjoy you openly liking your own work and bumping it yourself, there's something refreshing about it
