It’s been a very long, heartbreaking week for the music industry. Every day seemed to bring a new wave of bad news, making it hard to find the positives in a place we often find ourselves running to in order to escape the bad. We’ve complied a list of feel-good tweets that we all needed this week, to remind us that music can still be what we all need even in the darkest of times.
Below is our list of positive, feel-good tweets we hope will make your week a little bit brighter.

#FlashbackFriday to when I showed @tylerrjoseph and @joshuadun my band’s logo inspired by theirs.
A chance to tour with you would mean everything to me.

I take comfort in knowing that today’s teenagers are the musicians & promoters of tomorrow.
In my experience of young music fans, this horrible scene will infinitely improve when they are the ones on the stages and at the helm. https://t.co/39ynDXpm06— C R E E P E R (@creepercultuk) November 13, 2017
the music scene has been absolutely insane this past week, beyond words.
the next gig you’re at, give the person next to you a smile or hug, make a couple of new friendships, sing your lungs out with your best mate.
but most importantly: love each other.— ølivia (@Bullets0113) November 16, 2017
This happened…
Today I helped an old man off of his roof.
Because he was stuck and couldn’t get down.
Like a cat.

There’s a browser extension that turns Trumps tweets into crayon
So, there’s a Chrome/Firefox extension called “Make Trump Tweets Eight Again” that converts Trump’s tweets into childlike crayon-writing. The power of font semiotics is such that my brain can only read these in a high-pitched Trump-aged-eight voice. https://t.co/OmGbztTN8W pic.twitter.com/EbAHuwRgqx

Shows are still engaging and fun
We’ve been pushing our genre to be “brass-rock” this whole time but last night in Barrington the crowd decided our genre was Happiness.

Awsten Knight shared some knowledge
A GUIDE:
1. SOME PEOPLE ARE ROTTEN INSIDE.
2. DON’T KEEP WET SOCKS ON.
3. STUFF IS WHAT YOU THINK. TRUST INSTINCT.
4. TAKE VITAMINS.
5. GOGURT IS GOOD FROZEN AND CHILLED.
6. LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE.
7. ASTROLOGY IS AN EXCUSE FOR STUPID PEOPLE TO INDULGE IN THEIR WORST QUALITIES.— Not Awsten Knight (@awsten) November 15, 2017
