"...certainly doesn't sound like anything else I'v "...certainly doesn't sound like anything else I've heard. It's just a bit too weird for me which is saying something" .. "...a bit of a strange song and it is therefore difficult to get all the way in." .. "...don't hear it emerging all that strong in relation to the vocal delivery, and don't hear the songwriting coming through all that compelling." .. "Vocally, I'm not really a fan of the style." "Vocals just aren’t working for me..." .. "Can all be a bit tighter and more dynamic" Here's what people are saying about #joansmithandthejanedoes latest release "Horny For Pandemic"!!

A couple of weeks back, in the long ago times of b A couple of weeks back, in the long ago times of being able to smell each other, Joan Smith & the Jane Does planned on releasing a series of 3 singles in a staggered fashion. Our first single, 'Help Me Out' was uploaded to all streaming platforms, earmarked for release on March 30th. We began to pitch to playlists and were planning on the ubiquitous 'Please pre-save on Spotify' plea. Then everything happened that has happened. We are still releasing 'Help Me Out' on March 30th, but after every musician who performs live has had the rug yanked out from beneath us, this whole asking everyone to click to pre-save on a platform that is already famously under paying the very people who provide their content felt odd. The feeling of dissonance grew stronger when Bandcamp announced that today, Friday March 20th, they are waiving their revenue share/commission as a meaningful financial gesture. Thank you @bandcamp ❤ Meanwhile, what is Spotify doing? Apparently they said that they are donating to the MusiCares relief fund, but no amount donated has been specified.  An online petition has begun asking that they triple their payout per stream (for those of who don't realize, currently 1,000 Spotify streams barely covers a cup of coffee for someone who 100% holds the rights to their music). So, we have decided to pull 'Help Me Out' from Spotify, Amazon and Google Play, the biggest streaming services with clearly the largest fiscal stockpiles and the lowest payouts, in favour of streaming services that make the gesture of paying out a little bit more (Apple Music, Tidal, Napster...YES NAPSTER, among many others). We invite @spotify, in particular, to make a direct, precise financial gesture in the coming days to acknowledge how messed up the situation is for musicians during this time. If they do so, we will happily re-add the tune to Spotify. Anyways, look out for the single on March 30th, and while the Jane Does holding a song hostage from countless TENS OR HUNDREDS of streams from Spotify is obviously no threat to them, wouldn't it be awesome to upload and listen to tunes in Spotify in good faith and with a little less cynicism?
Remember this fancy vinyl we posted about? The one Remember this fancy vinyl we posted about? The one that we said we would only be selling at our shows? Well, shows aren't really a thing right now, are they? So, for a limited time, we are going to put 10 copies of the 'Normalize' vinyl (put out by the stupendous @dhu_records ) up on our Bandcamp, acknowledging that @bandcamp is being a super friend to artists this week because they are not taking their regular revenue share/commission from any Bandcamp sales made tomorrow - Friday, March 20th, from midnight to midnight pacific time. You can find the link to our Bandcamp in the bio. Shipping will be included in the price within Canada. If you are located in Europe, we encourage you to head on over to https://darkhedonisticunionrecords.bigcartel.com/ This is a 180Gr. Crystal Clear 12" Lathe Cut vinyl - Lathe cut records are cut manually, meaning the drop of the cutting needle is done by hand. They are time consuming to make -i.e. this is some high quality stuff. We realize that pitching to sell anything at all right now feels awkward, as so many of us are feeling the temporary loss of our jobs/gigs for an unknown length of time, but if you have the means to support a musician you enjoy by buying their merch online right now...that's pretty cool.
