thearmed.bandcamp.com/album/th in 2016 I posted a photo I took of an electronics shredder company's trade show booth and the photo went viral bc of the company's incredible slogan and today I learned an extremely good punk band used it as the title for their new album, who says posting never leads to anything good

(the photo in question, which escaped containment at some point and sometimes people will be surprised to learn that I was the originator of it

@ingrid "The Future Is Here And Everything Needs To Be Destroyed" was the laugh I needed today.

In these digital document days it's "data retention" which actually means a countdown to destruction, or at least a countdown to unavailability for legal evidence discovery.

@ingrid Ow, my ears. And here I was thinking I couldn't possibly feel older today.

@ingrid this is one of my favorite photos! thank you for it!

@ingrid oh, thanks for that! it's still one of our favorites

@ingrid "The Shredding Industry Icon" is also a powerful way to describe a band

@ingrid Congrats! How did you come to learn of of the album? And do they know about your connection to it?

I pressed play on that first song and thought, "Wow, punk has gotten a lot more melodic than I remember." And then I got past the first 4 seconds!

@williampietri I was just scrolling on Bandcamp! Turns out we have a mutual friend and they showed someone in the band the photo, said it had their vibe, and the band loved it

@ingrid Oh wow, the personal connection! That's a delight.

@ingrid Oh yeah! I picked up the album on release too. Real good stuff. It's going in AOTD soon :blobfoxheadphones:

So cool that your photo is going places :3
