There is something deeply ironic about Kickstarter union-busting. “We enable the power of the collective! Great things happen when people work together! No, stop, not like that” https://t.co/jRXobT8Urd

My roommate got super stoned a couple weeks back and found out you can order a personalized big toblerone. He immediately forgot about it until it showed up last night https://t.co/7NFydTqRQk

@wokecountry Today I saw @orvillepeck smoking a cigarette through the mask and I had great respect for that aesthetic.

A good edgy joke is to punch people in the fucking face if they profit from using ethnic slurs against Asian Americans. https://t.co/fsE5XFG7Ok

@yewknee I picked these up AFTER I saw you or I would have put it right in your hand.

I got pulled over and my vape was in my cup holder and the trooper was like “you know the news says those things are killing people” I laughed a lil bit and said “ they say the same about y’all ?” He ain’t laugh ?

Friday Videos - Sept 13th, 2019

Hey, it's Friday the 13th! Fun fact, it's also the apogee of the Moon, when it is furthest from the Earth and it's a Full Moon. The criteria is all in place for some real wackiness, be on the lookout!

Kind of love that this Stone Jack Jones record came out on a Friday the 13th, it feels extra appropriate.

Anyway, here we go with some distractions I culled together for you.

Apple Sept 2019 Announcements - getting out of hand y'all.
Allegheny Shredder - Boing Boing recently posted about this companies motto - "The Future Is Here and Everything Needs to be Destroyed." Pretty amazing. Watching the shredder in action is bizarrely calming.
Ceilings in Mr. Robot - been diving into the Jesse Tribble YouTube channel and rather enjoyed this Supercut.
Billie Eilish - Bad Guy - stupid.
If Mario Can Do It... - I'll be real, I've been this kid
The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored - I absolutely love this song but never watched the video until recently. I'm not sure I regret it but I certainly question my decisions.

Stone Jack Jones, Black Snake

My own yk Records released the fifth album from Stone Jack Jones today, entitled Black Snake. I'm at a bit of a loss for words as to how to describe it in a way that articulates it properly. We've been calling it "Psychedelic Country Noir" and that feels apt but isn't a holistic description of what lies within.

It's a dark record but it's not a downer, tracks like "Mary Mary" and "#Beautiful Day" are downright optimistic. It's a layered record but it's not challenging per se. There's a lot of instrumentation but it's peppered together in a way that nothings ever too much. It's expansive, giving itself room to let songs sprawl out if it feels appropriate, but it's intentional.

Despite the above, it's also not an exercise in dichotomy. It's actually a beautiful record with moments of melancholy, reflection and optimism. It's diverse, like a great record steeped in storytelling should be.

Available on vinyl, Spotify, Apple, Google and all the rest. Jack plays DRKMTTR here in Nashville on Sat, Sept 14th and at Alphaville in NYC on Oct 8th.

Granddaddy was ELO for sad people in the early aughts and if you have a problem with that? That’s fine. I avoid conflict at all costs! ?

@jamiebradley @fluxistrad @jedsundwall @GarthGainesSNL @yewknee I can confidently speculate that Chris Gaines would probably not know what podcasts are
