My Fantasy Funeral with Jasmin Kaset

posted September 30, 2019 #

My Fantasy Funeral has three episodes remaining in their first season and they're going out with a bang. The first of the final three is with Jasmin Kaset, singer, songwriter and all-around goof.
As with every episode of the show, she speaks about the five songs that she would have played at her funeral but also takes a deep dive the chameleon nature of her voice, why she felt Birdcloud couldn't exist in a post-satire Trump world and the plans she has to make a Purple Rain style dramatic album.

The episode is available in the embed above or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google, etc etc. Subscribe!

Off Camera With Sam Jones with Scott Aukerman

posted September 30, 2019 #

There's two new episodes of Off Camera with Sam Jones that should be enjoyed at your earliest convenience. Of course, watch the Zach Galifianakis episode; he's a real joy and opens up in a way that you wouldn't expect him to in a 1:1 interview.

That being said, I'd be remiss not to mention watching the Scott Aukerman episode as well. Aukerman is best known for being the host of Comedy Bang! Bang! but was a writer for Mr. Show and is the director of Between Two Ferns; to name but a few notable projects he's been involved with. I often think of him as a goofy and, somewhat not great, improviser but he's a really a very thoughtful comedic creative. His insights into the creative process is really worth a listen.

Off Camera with Sam Jones is a TV show on U-Verse, a direct-to-consumer subscription service or a free podcast. More formats than you can shake a stick at!

Beistle Goods

posted September 30, 2019 #

Creepy Company pumps out Horror related goods year round but near Halloween time, they really double down on their collection of Beistle offerings. If you're not familiar, Beistle is a mail order catalog that's been in business for 120 years and has had offered a particularly memorable set of Halloween goods over the years. Classic you might say.

The Creepy Company set is officially licensed and does a great job of keeping that retro simplicity and color palette while updating it to more modern offerings - i.e. these perfect socks or a ghost glow lamp every child should have at their bedside.

Halloween is quickly encroaching, so now is the time to dive in deep and build that massive archive of Halloween decore you know you need.

@yewknee I guess if you can slide in under the radar and wind up in the New Releases or Discover Weekly of a few thousand people, that's worth it to the musician for the numbers. Look out for my new band, The Beatles, dropping our debut single next week.

Friday Videos - Sept 27th, 2019

posted September 27, 2019 #

If you're in the Nashville area around Sept 28th, 2019, take some time to swing by Gainesfest; a celebration of the 20-year anniversary of Garth Brooks taking on a fictional pop persona. I have nothing to do with the event but I'll be there slackjawed and staring at a group of people that share such a strange fascination.

Enjoy some stuff I found...
  • Terence Howard on the Red Carpet - it's hard to tell if this is a troll or if we should be legitimately worried for Mr. Howard.
  • A perfect quadruple back tuck - I cruise /r/youtubehaiku fairly regularly looking for items for these Friday compilations and it is mostly awful... but sometimes you come across a solid gem.
  • Spot Launch - the Boston Dynamics Spot Robo-Dog is now a thing that can be purchased. Admittedly, the technology is impressive but they are intentionally making this commercial feel like a dystopian horror movie, right?!
  • Amazon Loop - they literally made a wearable ring that you whisper into it and hold to your ear. This implementation is pretty awkward (looking and behaving) but I give them credit for trying something new. Not a funny video, just one to marvel at.
  • Octopus Dreaming - I will never tire of seeing an animal color shift. Unbelievable every time.
  • Twen - "Damsel" - been very much enjoying this album lately, thought you might as well.
That's it! Short and sweet.. and, frankly, not all that weird. Hopefully still satisfying as you slide into the weekend.

In The Life Of... 20 Years

posted September 27, 2019 #

Tomorrow, Sept 28th, 2019, marks the 20-year anniversary of the time Garth Brooks released an album as a fictional character named Chris Gaines. If you're a regular reader of this site, you know I helped make a show about it and created a massive GIF archive of the time he went on SNL to promote the album.

In celebration of the anniversary, I made a bunch more GIF's of Chris Gaines first band Crush. Yes, the fictional character also had a fictional first band that he started with his friends in high school and it plays a huge part of the backstory of the tortured Gaines. This is about the most niche batch of GIFs I could probably ever make but... here they are!

So, if you've ever found yourself wanting to impress your friends with a random animation about a band that never existed but kind of did, I got you covered.

Introducing Fetching Pails

posted September 26, 2019 #

Happy to announce that Fetching Pails will be releasing their debut album, Telekinesis for Beginners, via yk Records. The first single, "Lemon Phosphate" is embedded below.
The project is the pseudonym of Jill Townsend, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist on the record. She was previously a part of the band Nightblonde, who's solitary release was woefully overlooked album in my opinion. The songs on Telekinesis have been bouncing around in Townsend's head for years; pieced together while traveling with random instruments and Garageband before being pulled together into one cohesive offering.

The album is available for pre-order and the single will be on all the streaming services tomorrow, Sept 27th. I'll be sure to remind you to check it out.

politics owns. it’s so funny to make the president a completely decrepit old guy and force him to make a speech looking physically worse than he ever has because he tried to get another mummy’s son in trouble, and he spends the entire time talking about how mean everyone is
