A man goes to see a doctor. The man says, “Doc, I’m depressed. Simply, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I feel down and irritable. I just can’t feel ‘happy.’” The Doctor says, “I’ve got the perfect fix for you. In town tonight is the great clown Pagliacci. You will experience a joy unprecedented.” The man bursts into tears. “Doctor I AM Pagliacci.” 📸: @charlie.grae

Thank you to all the bands who’ve become friends and comrades, the houses that let us shake their basements or living rooms, the venues, sound engineers, anyone that’s joined us in making a night louder, and you. Thanks for help with these recordings: Anthony Aguilar, Matias Van Order Gonzalez, David Juro, Melissa Renyar. We support all liberatory struggles. No one should have to fight for food, shelter, or dignity. If you’re able, donate something to those in need or make some hot food for the houseless near you. The packaging of the CD version of this release was designed specifically to save plastic, whether to help the environment or for 3D printed weapons you can use to register discontent with politicians. Choose your own adventure!

Wow. The world is human waste circling the drain. I deactivated my account for a while and I’m gonna do it again. I don’t want new ways to connect with people, the old ways were just fine. DM me in the next several days if you want my number to periodically text about music, movies, and dogs I’ve seen recently. @getxwell is playing a sick benefit show for @newlabornj next week in Asbury Park; what a joy! I heard @catsluckvegan will be there as well as Food Not Bombs. We’ll have branded matchboxes at the merch table. If anyone is considering *COMMITING GOOD DEEDS* at *PARTICULAR CAR DEALERSHIP / PARTICULAR INSTITUTIONAL BUILDINGS* you can use @getxwell merch to “light the way”. Lol, will this pass the AI test? My long hair’s long gone 😢 was it a mistake? Maybe. I’m halfway through a real book I started this year. Am I a genius? Everyone should be meditating, it rips. 10 - ♾️minutes a day. Also y’all should: stop giving money to Amazon in any form, stop eating meat, get more tattoos, get off streaming services (physical media rebirth!). I think I had more nonsense to rattle on about, but I’ve lost the plot and am thinking about lighting incense and falling asleep to Paris, Texas. Final side note: LOOK AT All THE CROCUSES IN MY YARD.

@getxwell is playing a sick show this Friday. If you do not attend I’ll assume it’s because you have no capacity for joy.

🤠

New ep from Get Well. Link in bio. We’re an infestation that won’t fucking die. Buy it on Bandcamp and throw some money to support @ringingrocksrollerrink because @merdermaid111 was super cool to let us finish recording in there. It’ll be up on Spotify and Apple Music at some point (this week?). Play it loud to annoy your neighbors and make your lover want to leave you.

The lock to my apartment is broken. Everybody come on in.
