Did you hear the last @bandsplainer on Patti Smith? Her discography of music is a deep well. Fortunately, @wokecountry and Elena from @realitysomethng are here to help sort through it with a Patti Smith Primer Playlist. Enjoy! https://t.co/eslKLpmOMm

Andrew Brassell - Izzy Gets The F*ck Across Town Original Score

posted December 6, 2019 #

Way back when I started yk Records, I released a few albums by the band Slowmotions. The songs were a bit quirky and fused together a lot of intriguing sounds but, at the heart, it was a collection of pop songs. This wasn't really a band tho, it was the pseudonym of Andrew Brassell. In 2016, we released another album entitled The Domes that was another wonderfully packed dose of off-kilter pop songs.

Now, today, in 2019 - yk records is releasing his original score to the 2018 film Izzy Gets The F*ck Across Town.

It's available on Bandcamp and all the streaming services.

Why release a movie score to an independent film that is two years old? Frankly, because I love the work of Andrew Brassell. Full stop. If you didn't know the album was connected to the movie, it would be just another interesting release from his full discography. It contains all of the same elements that I loved about his work in 2009; just matured and refined a bit.

Go listen to "Studying the Black Arts" or "Done Fake" or "Tell Me Your Name" for the most straightforward pop songs on the album but let it act as a gateway drug to hear the rest; it's a compelling listen of ambient compositions and crunchy rock numbers. Good from start to finish.

can we talk about actually why the peloton ad is so bad? the answer isn’t sexism, or that it’s hard to convey an inner journey in an ad the problem is copywriting THREAD https://t.co/4RvqVsElQf

Topshelf Records 2019 Reflections

posted December 4, 2019 #

Top Shelf Records recently posted this Twitter thread that runs down their ten releases for 2019 - each with a writeup from the individual bands and a unique collage culled from the album art to represent the release.

Even if you know nothing about Top Shelf Records (I count myself among the ignorant), this is a really brilliant exercise. Reworking album art into some new form as a means of reflecting on it with the perspective of time is something I wish I'd thought of. Bonus, the collages are great! They span a great deal of styles and, ideally, open up a little pathway to hear some new music.

The fact that there is an emo resurgence in the works can only mean we've skipped our destined SKA comeback and I'm livid

In ~1997 i used to carry a floppy with a high resolution picture (nearly 1MB) of Beavis and Butthead. I carried it around with me, cause you never know when you're going to need it, and you can't rely on the picture always being on the internet. I wish this was a joke.
