Witnessing The Birth Of The Coronavirus Economy

posted March 21, 2020 #

NYTimes has a nice photo series entitled Witnessing the Birth of the Coronavirus Economy that depicts the impact that the self-quarantining has across the board. Honestly, the last few days have been an educational experience in terms of putting together the puzzle pieces for just how much is impacted. In short, it's everything. I suppose that's obvious once you type it out but it's literally everything.

Saving these photos here, just as a means to remember.

note to self, buy some records from local shops during this shut in time. This might actually be an easier way to browse their goods.

a quality list of performers I enjoy all part of an album that seems to be pretty weird; in that enjoyably off-kilter way.

The Age of Decadence - NY Times Opinion

posted March 21, 2020 #

lengthy piece about the stagnation that decadence brings. Despite being written in early Feb (a different time), it rings very true. Best part is that it actually manages to end optimistically.

You can't fix everything. You can't write about everything or financially support everything or text everyone or bake everything. Pick one thing to focus on today. One recipe, one task, one cause, one person. Just one. That is enough. Then allow yourself to rest.

Friday Videos - March 20th, 2020

posted March 20, 2020 #

Missed Friday Videos last week because, frankly, things have gotten quite insane over in my neck of the woods. We're safe, keeping it healthy and keeping it quarantined. For whatever reason, when Vimeo enforced their Stay At Home policy, things really heated up. Is this true for anyone else? Has productivity and email volume gone through the roof?

Aside from being work overwhelmed, I feel a little down in the dumps about how all this is impacting so many folks I know. I won't bore you with the emotional details but it's rough out there and I'm doing all I can to help out. Please reach out if you need help, people want to help.

Embedded above you will, hopefully, find a sliver of enjoyment and distraction from it all. Stay well.
  • Can I Pet That Dog? - I have watched this 1,000 times. It is more rewarding on every single replay. If you need a respite from the madness, let this Country Child be your beacon.
  • How Soap Kills the Coronavirus - okay, a brief PSA on why hand washing actually works. I would assume this doesn't need to be said but there's plenty of idiots out there that still don't get it.
  • Hugh Laurie's Kitty Puss - maybe it's time to take a deep dive into the `A Bit Of Fry And Laurie` archives.
  • The Institute Trailer - have you been tempted to watch Dispatches from Elsewhere? Don't do it, just watch this movie that it is based on. You'll thank yourself.
  • Will YouTube Ever Run Out Of Video IDs? - I've been fascinated by the Tom Scott archives lately and this one is especially nerdy but all the more satisfying for it.
  • Drone Talking Dog on Walk - the future we have to look forward to.
  • Mr. Worf, Fire at Will - hopefully this is a sign that more people are trying out Final Cut during their time indoors.
  • Cat sounds like a Laser Beam - the content you come here for.

Get it on Bandcamp

Today, March 20th, 2020, Bandcamp is waiving their fee on digital sales. This means that instead of an 85% / 15% split between the artist and the platform, 100% of sales goes to the artist. I've been a huge proponent of Bandcamp since the very first YK Records release and remain so to this day.

If you feel so inclined, here’s a list of recent-ish releases from the label you can purchase to support our artists. Listing everything would be overwhelming, so just use this as a jumping off point to explore and enjoy!

The Medium - “Fade Away / Sugar Shark”
Fetching Pails - Telekinesis for Beginners
Patrick Damphier - Say I’m Pretty + Remixes
The Mute Group - Sinister Hand
DM Stith - “Westering Animal” + many more!
Jasmin Kaset + Quichenight - Tuxedo
Dave Paulson - Sandusky, OH
New Man - Sings!
Sleep Good - Bohemian Grove
You Drive - Self-Titled
The Robe - The Robe
Jay Leo Phillips - One Million, One Million, One Million

You can see everything on the label over on the YK Records Bandcamp page or just browse all our individual releases.

Today @Bandcamp are waiving fees so labels/artists get 100% of the purchase price, so it’s the perfect time to buy some music! I built this last year, it lets you search for your most played Spotify artists/songs on Bandcamp so you can support them: https://t.co/j4VR8Smrqf https://t.co/790LY5nxg2
