I’m DJing a Fourth of July party and a very nice baby boomer lady just asked me to play “Red Lobster” by The B-52’s.

Cowboys, Sleaze, E Psichedelico

posted July 2, 2019 #

Nashville Mixtapes is giving me a mad hankering for Summer Mix Series. He's pumped out two mixes recently that are both highly thematic but not so niche that everyone can't enjoy them. The latest, Cowboys, Sleaze, E Psichedelico, is a mix of Italian Soundtracks and it's absolutely wonderful.

Of course there's Morricone on there but that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's almost 2 hours in length so there's no shortage of enjoyment time here.

If your parents diefy the founding fathers ask them if they know about William Whipple, a signatory of the Declaration of Independence who freed his slave before he signed. The others can’t be held to another standard. They knew a guy who did it. Why didn’t they?

Yung Bae

I honestly don't know much about Portland, Oregon artist Yung Bae aside from the fact that they've consistently released highly enjoyable disco-y albums. The latest, Bae 5, is no different.

Once you've given this one a deep listen (it's also on the streaming platforms), please treat yourself to a dive into the back catalog. There's a ton to enjoy.

Friday Videos - June 28th, 2019

posted June 28, 2019 #

Been a minute since I've posted Friday Videos! That's unheard of! I apologize for missing a few weeks of this but travel and life events pre-empted my ability (and willingness) to post anything. Whoops!

Happy Pride! If you haven't heard the My Fantasy Funeral episodes with Tiffany Minton and Trevor Mikula; carve out some time this weekend to make it happen. Lovely people doing great things for the LGBTQ community here in Nashville.

Have a great weekend, here's some weird distractions from your life:

Jonathan Frakes Asks You Things - probably ancient now by Internet Time but I can't stop watching this.
Stupid Lion falls into water FUNNY - the video is amusing but that title... Internet Gold.
Charlie Nicholas is sitting there thinking... - always love a repetitive Supercut. Thank you Ronaldo.
when your luther vandross cover band plays too much mario kart - pretty much crushed it here.
Cat Hides Among Pillows - I died.
Joe Biden: Curb Your Enthusiasm - plenty of meme's came from the Presidential Dates, this is one of them. Here's another.
The Jordache Look - I honestly can not tell if this is an actual commercial or an absolutely perfect parody. Either way, the song is fire.

DM Stith - Staying Awake

posted June 28, 2019 #

At the end of 2018, my little label released three new songs from DM Stith. They were the first new songs to come from him since his 2016 full-length Pigeonheart. Today, I am happy to report that the first of three additional singles is available to the world.

"Staying Awake" is available everywhere now - Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, et al.

Here's some insight on the track direct from DM Stith:

A thesis statement for a new phase of recordings. Written after the end of Sufjan's Age of Adz tour (I toured in his band and opened the shows with my own solo set), worked and reworked for the last 5 years, and finished, finally, with the help of Ben Hillier (rhythm and programming), Paul Wianko (string arrangement), Grey McMurray (guitar) and Shahzad Ismaily (mixing). The song was completed this spring on the Isle of Portland in Dorset where I'd parked myself for a couple weeks of solitude, sea sounds and sporadic torrents of icy hail.

It's a fantastic piece of work that gets more rewarding on each listen. I really can't gush enough about this (and the following two songs over the next month). Give it a listen, save it on your favorite streamer and, by all means, tell a friend.
