this song is the link between tomorrows harvest and inferno.

This two-song arc is really the prime of the album. Such a good intro, all reasons depart- creepy-ass talking, and then fizzling into a total minimal techno cold-ass vibe. This is peak. I was a whole album of BoC like this, and don't give me that it sounds like autechre. I've never been able to sit through a whole autechre song - but All Reason Depart is so so good.

EDIT! no hate towards autechre - I just haven't found my "in" yet...tried to listen to them in the early 00s but it never gelled as BoC did

perhaps this has alreayd been posted here?

I took on WAY more than my original job description asked for over the last year, and I think I am in a position for them to have to meet my request. wish me luck! this is what i tiold my boss:

Hi [Manager],

I wanted to see if we could schedule some time to talk about my role and compensation.

Over time, the position has grown quite a bit beyond the original scope. In addition to the core communications and marketing responsibilities, I’ve gradually taken on a wide range of creative and production work, including photography, video production/editing, social media content, event coverage, and coordination with outside vendors and contractors.

A lot of these responsibilities were previously split across multiple roles or outsourced projects, so bringing them together internally has helped create more consistency across branding, content, and overall communications, while also improving turnaround times and workflow efficiency.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve also put a strong focus on improving the organization’s digital presence and visual identity overall. Between content production, social growth, media assets, and communications materials, the workload and expectations of the role have evolved significantly from where things started.

I really enjoy the work and appreciate being trusted with such a hands-on role in shaping these areas of the organization. At the same time, I’d love the opportunity to revisit compensation to better reflect the current scope of responsibilities and overall workload.

Currently, I’m at $60,000 annually, and I’d like to discuss increasing that to $75,000.

I appreciate your time and consideration, and I’m happy to talk further whenever convenient.

Best,
[Name]

do you have to stay and listen - or can I just show up, buy the album and go home and listen in private?

Hey all,

I’m working with Salesforce + PatronManager for a performing arts org and trying to get better visibility into where ticket sales are actually coming from.

My leadership team is specifically asking for reporting like:

• How many tickets were sold from Facebook ads
• Instagram
• Google Ads
• Email campaigns

Right now:

• We’re using direct ticket links (Salesforce Sites / PatronManager)
• I’m starting to add UTM parameters to all marketing links
• GA4 is tracking traffic and some purchase revenue

The issue is:
GA4 can see the source, but Salesforce (where the actual sale lives) doesn’t seem to reflect that clearly.

What I’m trying to figure out:

• Is there a way to pass UTMs through the PatronManager checkout flow and store them on the Opportunity / Order?
• Are Campaigns the standard way to handle this (Primary Campaign Source, etc)?
• Or does this typically require custom fields / dev work?

Ultimately, I need to be able to say:
👉 “X tickets sold from FB ads, Y from IG, Z from Google Ads”

Would love to hear how others are solving this, especially in arts/nonprofit setups using PatronManager.

say 3-4 members were still alive today and playing as 'the band" - how do you think it would sound? Dylan is still out there doing his..."thing". Makes me wonder - do you think 80+ year old memebrs of the band could still hold it down?
