To Malakai Nakamura of Mercasor: Hi Malakai, big fan. Years ago I illegally obtained your first album when I could’ve just bought it, and the ghost of this act has been following me ever since. Enclosed is an amount of currency that will hopefully cover the costs, but I don’t really understand what the conversion rate is over here, so it might be a little more or less. Cheers m8
no worries
i have an arrangement with my sister-in-law where i put a bean in the bean jar every time i deflect kindness with jokes. and if it gets full i have to eat all of the beans
so bean with me
to be honest the idea of anyone listening to my first album recreationally is bewildering
maybe this is not a smart thing to say when im out here fighting for my life AKA begging people to buy my EP. but making vern was hard
its also a fat crock of pretentious bull
when i put it up it wasnt connected to my name and i wasnt going to release anything else under that handle. but then some fans found it and it became a meme and idk it felt like calling myself vern was the only way to take ownership of the situation
but like it was in response to a dumb joke made at my expense
if i could do it over again it wouldnt have been my first release. but hearing this makes me think “ok maybe it was good for someone even if it wasnt good for me” and thats like 80 percent of music lbr
i say something that i think is pretentious bc only art can give meaning to the banality of whatever im going thru
and basically what im saying is you are the only motherfucker who can listen to vern
