Dig it! Obsolete Units will have a table of back-catalog goods at the 2nd Sound Swap presented by and taking place at . I’ll also be unloading a few duplicates from my personal collection. Hope to see you there!

In other news, I’m hoping to have some new releases on the horizon in the coming year. OU has been on hiatus since losing my job during the pandemic, but now that things are more stable, I’m happy to bring things back around. Stay tuned.

I found out today that a Twitter account with “obsolete units” in the name and a handle nearly identical to my own Twitter (which I haven’t used in years) is posting vile transphobic content. I would hope that anyone that knows me would know that such an account has absolutely nothing to do with me or my label, but just to make things clear, I am absolutely disgusted by this person’s hateful behavior and abhor transphobia/TERF ideology. This seems to just be a really unfortunate coincidence rather than somebody trying to impersonate me, but let it be known, Obsolete Units and myself will always stand against transphobia, homophobia, racism, misogyny, and all other forms of bigotry.

In the last few days, Kim Prince, who owns , met several customers who said they were there specifically to patronize a black-owned business. She said multiple people have tagged her restaurant on Instagram using the hashtag .

On Saturday, a Google spreadsheet full of black-owned in started circulating on Twitter, created by Kat Hong, a 25-year-old editorial assistant for the Infatuation website in L.A. “It came from a place of pure helplessness,” Hong said. “It’s difficult to know how best to support the black community right now.” Link in bio for a list of black-owned restaurants, cafes, coffee shops, food trucks and pop-ups that builds on Hong’s list. 📸:
