      @@fullonion2474 It's $1 a month. Obviously you can give more if you can afford it, but you get all the songs for 1 USD per month. You can panhandle that in 30 mins and buy yourself lunch after. (Obviously the online medium means Credit, so that's a class obstacle, but the monetary cost is minor for what you get).

    Rob is the best, every record I've ever bought from him comes with a little drawing and note. That personal touch shows just how much he cares. Thank you both for this awesome video.

      Yes! And we had such a good time - we hung out all day and kinda toured LA. He even introduced me to another artist, Clarke and the Himselfs, who I loved so much that I recorded them weekend before last! Hopefully in 2020 I'll head out to New Orleans to visit Rob, and he's gonna try to bring The Taxpayers/Trusty Snakes around LA so we can record them too :)

    Others have said this, but he looks exactly like Sean Bonette from AJJ!! I would say the music is sorta similar too. Not totally, but as they're both folk & punk it makes sense, no?

      Steps unsteady, whatever the cause
      Yeah, the wheels aren’t ready to move it along
      Goodbye, balance: balance always is a lost cause
      Alarm bells ringing, yawns and winks
      The water isn’t safe to cook in or drink
      Goodbye, balance: balance doesn’t care what you think
      Unbending membranes flex and pop
      Unsinkable ships always sink
      Sober drunks and cleaned up junkies
      Wobble out along the brink
      Yeah yeah yeah
      Support beams teeter, sway, and moan
      And your taxi will not take you home
      Goodbye, balance: balance always leaves you alone
      Yeah, the roof is bending in the wind
      And your mind is filled with mortal sin
      Goodbye, balance: balance never lets you win
      This world, this world is falling apart
      Yeah this world, this world is falling apart
      The people you love are all you have to lean on
      So treat them well
      This world, this world is falling apart
      Yeah this world, this world is falling apart
      The people you love are all you have to lean on
      So treat them well, yeah
