This is a reminder from Marilyn: When going to venues to listen to music, make sure that you buy drinks and food from the venue. They're supplying you music and a good time and can't make money if you don't buy food and drinks. That could make the venue have to close down or not have music. So remember, help support your venues, which support the bands, and the people. Let's not have them closed down from lack of common sense to purchase food and drinks when you're there! Thank you.

A throwback from back in the day...
===*===*===
===*===*===
Why does Thee Mothership Connection mostly rely on Bandcamp links and not Spotify?
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, they're url's 're ugly.
