There’s no ethical way to participate in major festivals, and honestly, we’re still trying to figure out what the hell to do about it.

MOSSWOOD MELTDOWN! 
Our Friends at Mosswood Meltdown just unleashed part of their 2026 lineup!
Saturday July 17th is headlined by the “Godfather of Punk” IGGY POP  skate-punks THE SPITS, Santa Cruz’s hardcore heroes SCOWL, Detroit garage rock legends THE DIRTBOMBS, always-unpredictable Tokyo troublemakers, THE FADEAWAYS, and LA-based power trio PRIMITIVE RING.Legendary feminist punk pioneers BIKINI KILL will cap off an epic Sunday July 18th, which also features THE RETURN OF JACKIE & JUDY (a Ramones cover band consisting of Sleater Kinney’s Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein with Fred Armisen on the drums), bitchin’ camaro-owners THE DEAD MILKMEN, the electrifying FRANKIE & THE WITCH FINGERS, cult favorites FRIGHTWIG, and Miami rockers LAS NUBES.
It wouldn’t be Mosswood Meltdown without the Pope of Trash himself, JOHN WATERS!
“What a crowd! Angry, funny, young and old, hung and bold, ruder and cruder! Burning Man? Hell, no! We're the festival that ignites the music, hops on the explosion and rides it into the mosh pit. Look out! Look out! The punks are coming to get you this summer!” — John Waters
Tickets now available at (mosswoodmeltdown.com)! But don’t snooze because the supply is limited! It’s not a corporate music festival in the world's biggest parking lot or decommissioned military base. It’s at a tiny event in a cool park, where you’ll run into friends all weekend long.

R.I.P. to all the famous clubs in Frisco... Remember the Good Times!



A throwback from back in the day...

===*===*===


Why does Thee Mothership Connection mostly rely on Bandcamp links and not Spotify?
* "It's Not Just You: Music Streaming Is Broken Now" [www.youtube.com/watch?v=plleJ0Zv0Ww]
In order to support the artist... When you purchase a song on Bandcamp, you typically pay about $1. The majority of this amount goes directly to the artist, with only 15% going to Bandcamp. To achieve a similar level of support on Spotify, you would need to listen to a song approximately hundreds of times just to gift them that dollar. Keeping these figures in mind, it's worth considering the impact of your support the next time you come across a new favorite track. Those dollars add up! Spotify links are provided only as a last resort. Plus, their url's 're ugly.
