this is my impression of the snare drum on 311's amber https://t.co/wYmtlIiPVj

this is great! but also, goes on forever.

Made a Cribs video for my design team (every week during happy hour someone gives a tour of their place) and wanted to make it feel as authentic as possible ???????? https://t.co/gUpLQyxeGU

With Bandcamp waiving their fees again today, we’re running a super special sale over at yk Records and announcing several exclusive releases to the platform. Here’s the rundown of goodies..

Buy One, Get One Vinyl Sale

If you buy any vinyl from a yk Records artist today, I’ll throw in a bonus LP for free. I won’t tell you what the bonus LP will be but you’ll get free music. If you don’t like it, give it to a friend!

Meadownoise - Cliff House Kids EP

Happy to announce Meadownoise has joined the yk Records roster and we’re releasing his first new music in six years. The Cliff House Kids EP is a preview of his forthcoming LP, Threeve. The tracks within are 2 album tracks, 1 B-side and a remix by the always enjoyable Coupler. Available here.

DM Stith - Waving 1 - 4

Recorded in April 2020, this collection of four instrumental tracks features DM Stith vocal explorations in a longform and meditative manner. It’s contemplative, calming and perfect for our current times. Strings provided by Paul Wiancko. Available here.

---

The Medium - Here’s Our Gravy Tape

Four demo recordings of tracks that eventually made their way to the debut album, Get It While It’s Hot. Personally, I find demo recordings to be a fascinating listen to discover how much a song did, or did not, change. Available here.

Tower Defense - “Not Safe” 

Recorded as part of the Stay Inside sessions, this b-side didn’t make the final album but it’s a great dose of Tower Defense while we wait for their next album (soon!). All proceeds go to The 5 Spot Community Fund in Nashville. Available here.

Apollo Up! - Ready Rock Sign: Demos 2002​-​2003

Recorded way back in 2002, these are the earliest recordings of the band, captured with a single Radio Shack mic plugged into a Tascam cassette 4-track. Even with such rudimentary recording tech, it’s worth a listen. Available here.

We’ll be releasing more Bandcamp exclusives over the coming months as they waive their fees. Some of this music will make its way to Spotify but not all of it! So, if you’re intrigued, get it now.

I have decided that, henceforth, the foam that arises when I put oats in boiling water I will call "oatrage."

Big things planned for this Friday: hauling some rarities out of "The Vault™" and putting them up on @bandcamp for a limited time! All proceeds will be donated to the @five_spot Community Fund! https://t.co/pLx2Z9rt1v

My parents are stressed out that dog groomers aren’t open because Furby’s hair just keeps getting bigger and bigger https://t.co/e7Slb6A3QR

Keeping in shape with my favorite workout video, the critically-acclaimed 1984 Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense https://t.co/2aV3MZ9fBB

I've really been getting into more NapWave and SleepHop playlists these days

I’m done…… https://t.co/dqyHsLbCkd

IRL now means online too.

i am generally not one for live albums but i think this one may be an exception

coming in early June

It is rank incompetence on the part of @JoeBiden & his campaign that they aren’t having daily COVID briefings with reliable information & trustworthy sources about how people can organize to drive local responses and help those in need. Leaders need to lead, period.

When I need a pick-me-up, I think of this D. Striker video. The man's got moves, plain and simple.

Without getting too Livejournal-y on ya, I have been absolutely buried the past few weeks. When my day job went into self-isoation for the whole company it amped up communications across the board 1000%. I am not sure if this is the result of people that normally don't work very hard finding themselves having to put in a true 8-hour day or if it's a result of not being able to lean over to a co-worker and just ask a question. Probably a combination of a lot of things but, regardless, it's been stressful. That said, it's a very privileged stress and I am happy to be gainfully employed.

Emotions aside, let's try and get distracted.

• Michigan anti-quarantine protest? - starts with a bunch of idiots, ends with the perfect idiot.
• Coffin Rave - I am proud to understand the multiple levels of meme happening here and that guy deserves more than just a pinch on the nose.
• Corona Handshake - I hope the video is staged. I hope the video is staged. I hope the video is staged.
• Quarantine Time - time well spent I'd say.
• Photoshop Requests - James Fridman entertainment.
• How Hamsters Fit So Much Food Inside Their Cheeks - wild stuff here. not even kidding.
• What Cheese Are You? - I shouldn't laugh. I shoudn't laugh. I shouldn't laugh.

Stay safe out there.

All the "learn to code" people must simply be unaware that you're supposed to get a job as a coder first, and then learn to code

Modern Nature released 22 instrumental tracks and invited folks to make something of it. Herein is one fine example
