A reader asked me a question and I will answer it here: yes, I will answer any and all questions, be they advice or just random questions like "what's the best kind of halloween candy?" a la the drew magary funbag. I am not here to steal ideas, but I AM here to give you all whatever you need in terms of juicy beautiful content. so ask the questions in the comments and I'll try to get to em. for sure.
I would like three a week but what do I know? I’m just a talking bear.
Graffiti art = very cool. Tagging = way way way uncool. Where I’m from we’ve got a lot of gangs and that territorial shit puts us all in danger. And oh, you tagged up my neighbors house with unreadable shit and a dog paw? Fuck you.
Note: this is not an indictment on actual dogs or their cute patitas.
Great read (and the linked GQ article)! I think AT LEAST one of each a week is good. I'm tele-teaching second graders and chasing a toddler all day, so I'm kind of busy, but this is the PreApocalypse, so does anything fucking matter anyway? To quote you: "Eat Arby's. Or don't."
Coolest Crime: Stealing from the rich. Fuck the rich.
(And also drug dealer because we all need that shit. Not the uncool guys who sell heroin and crack to people fucking dying of their addictions... but the Weed and Shrooms guys? Totally cool. Those guys are pillars of our society. And yeah I know weed is legal now but not everywhere and HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICES? NOT EVEN WORTH IT. Buy on the street.)
Also this is my disclaimer that I never do anything wrong or questionable ever.
One time my friends drove me to Mexico and their truck got broken into but the person didn't get much except for my ... Lawrence Arms trucker hat from, like, 2001ish? Uncool crime imo unless they're still wearing the hat in which case, pretty cool crime.
Man, I'd take 7 a week as well but 2 is probably the better choice as you can pump more quality into less I guess(?). Could you see yourself stream some shit as well (songs, q&a,...)?
Since I don't subscribe to any other content other than this, I'd say hit us daily. Since that's unfair for the reasons you've listed, I'm totes fine with two a week. Keep bangin'.
Good shit, bk. As of now I'm a free subscriber, though, if I could I'd definitely support one of my biggest music inspirations so someday I'll definitely become a paid subscriber. Just in exchange for all the awesome music you've put out.
That been said, I'd say 2-3 weekly posts ain't bad if I was a paid subscriber. One weekly post for the free subs is awesome, imo.
Also, a little business insider tip: keep the juiciest posts behind the paywall (e.g. very insider stuff about TLA, personal stories, music writing tips). That type of stuff would DEFINITELY get me to pay you $6.66/month and it's the stuff that I ate up back when BSC was up. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for what you're doing, man! Can't wait for the new album. And I gotta ask: What's the best way to get out of a writing rut?
Agree with Kenney. Graffiti with at least some actual talent? COOL. That chicken-scratch just learned how to write garbage? UNCOOL. 1 freebie and 1 exclusive a week would be loooooovely.

Sammy Hagar thought speeding was cool.
The Minutemen thought it was cooler to drive exactly the speed limit (double nickels on the dime).
I'm with the Minutemen.

Urban exploring seems dope. I guess it's a crime if you're trespassing? Seems cool to slink around abandoned places and snap pics.
I'd suck this content up 2-3 times a week.

One and one a week sounds good to me.

Leaving graffiti after stealing crown jewels caper style. That is no doubt the coolest. And I'm down with the one and one idea.
I like the once a week for free and 2 (or more) for paid. I'm really enjoying this man!
Also I don’t have the cash money for the paid subscription so if throw a free one in there until I can get the money I’d really appreciate it ❤️
Graffiti is definitely the super cool. Like sticking it to the man and doing art, super rad. But like actual art not that tagging crap.
