Actually, a poll, out of curiosity. Who here has heard of the band Shearer independently of me talking about them? No, not the kiwi guys, that's Shihad.

@MaddieM4 I spent a bunch of money on Jamendo when I couldn't really afford it.
Drevo, Picari, and so many more.
Nowadays I spend even more money on bandcamp.
Many years ago, I think when I was pre-first-job broke (hey, the more things change, huh?) I used to find CC-licensed music on Jamendo that I could legally and ethically download for free. Not all of it was good, a lot of it wasn't. And some of it, I didn't immediately like, but warmed up to. In the case of Shearer, a German band, I almost entirely bounced off the album I downloaded, but I did share it with a friend I thought would enjoy it. He got into them, and now I mostly associate the album Duck on Cover with him, and came around to liking the album myself.
I know his favorite song is Warmachine, and we've talked about why. His childhood had some issues too. But for me, the song that I've been singing on and off today is I'll Be Right Behind You Josephine. They say that singing softens accents, but I feel like I need to put some German into it to do these songs justice when I sing them!
