My new all-time favorite music TWITTER thread was started over the Thanksgiving weekend by LAURA SNAPES, deputy music editor at the Guardian. She posted that she'd love to read a feature about the logistics of doing (or not doing) laundry on tour. What followed, in the comments, was all the raw material an editor could hope for, some practical, some stinky, some eye-opening, some dubious. No, FUGAZI did not tour with a washing machine in the van. It was a dryer. NICK CAVE has an assistant dedicated to organizing his laundry. The guys in DON CABELLERO used to buy cheap shirts in bulk at the start of each tour and throw them away instead of washing them. Days off between Minneapolis and the West Coast are good laundry days. Vodka has some FEBREZE-like qualities. Fresh socks are more important than new guitar strings and lots of bands have them in their tour riders. Raiding your own merch supply is common. I swear I will never again make fun of a musician wearing his own band's t-shirt, and I apologize for every time I did. I can't wait for the actual feature. All other music editors, you are on notice... IMOGEN HEAP got some laundering in on the fifth of the seven days on the road that my friend MARK YARM chronicled for @BREAKERMAG. Breaker is a blockchain magazine, and is the correct magazine to check in with once a day if your tour is a blend of concerts, tech workshops and wearable music tech demos. If your tour is not that, you are light years behind Imogen Heap and you have some catching up to do... Under a deal with the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, ticket reseller VIAGOGO is now required to tell buyers who is selling each ticket and if they're professional scalpers or not. How, one wonders, will Viagogo identify resellers who work for the concert promoter or the venue or, say, are in the band? Color me a little curious and a little skeptical... A week and a half after he was arrested on federal racketeering charges, TEKASHI 6IX9INE has pleaded not guilty and released his debut album, DUMMY BOY, which was originally scheduled to drop last Friday. He remains in jail... Silent, but not silent enough... KATY PERRY remembers management and publicity exec ANGELICA COB-BAEHLER.
