Tuxedo Released

posted November 2, 2018 #

The brand new Jasmin Kaset album Tuxedo is available today. It's streaming everywhere, so just pick a service and start playing.

While you're listening, cruise on over to this excellent feature from The Nashville Scene that interviews Jasmin and collaborator Brett Rosenberg, aka Quichenight, on how the album came to be.
Sonically, the album is a much different affair than anything she's released before - including her work in Birdcloud and You Drive. It's less polished and more raw in production but no less authentic in the lyrical content. It's great to hear her stretch outside of her expectations and continue to deliver something unexpected and completely enjoyable.

Howdy again! Hopping back on the Twitter saddle to share my shiny new site. When you have a minute or two to spare, mosey on over and have a gander. Tell your mama, tell your sister, tell your cousins, and your friends! https://t.co/E2JpsXK7f2 https://t.co/C9hGwkyqlG

this fucked up shoe costs almost $2,000. I'm constantly amazed at the junk people would rather own over donating to a worthwhile cause.

Halloween 2018

posted October 31, 2018 #

You've already got a Halloween 2018 Playlist from last Friday but why not throw another one together that's culled from the years of making these? Not a Best Of, just a compilation. Reminder: there's also this Halloween mix from Shaboi and this Disney nightmare mix that never disappoint.

San Dimas Today: Deacon Logan, Drug Kingpin

posted October 31, 2018 #

Keeping the Halloween themed podcast episodes going! The latest from San Dimas Today explores the Personal Hell's that Bill & Ted experience in the second movie, Bogus Journey. Just as the hosts remark, I don't think I ever conceived of such a concept until seeing this movie. The Easter Bunny still unnerves me to this day.
Hear it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you prefer to hear such things (maybe just in that convenient embed above).

Let's Not Meet

posted October 30, 2018 #

While it's not specifically a Halloween podcast, the Let's Not Meet series is pretty spooky. Host Andrew Tate culls stories from Reddit and then transforms them into campfire style retellings. The episodes I've heard so far never delve into the gruesome or gory, it's all usually pretty contained to the unnerving, the unbelievable and the uncomfortable. All and all, great fodder for Halloween!

fan/fiction: Halloween

posted October 30, 2018 #

The latest fan/fiction w/ andrew/zach episode is all about Halloween FanFic. Did you know Michael Meyers and Jason Voorhees summer together at Camp Crystal Lake? Well, according to one story, they do. Do you know what the Most Goth Halloween Story is? You will if you listen to the episode.
The show is streaming all over - Apple, Google and even Spotify. So go listen wherever is most convenient!

Parisian Transgender Women, 1959

posted October 29, 2018 #

The NYTimes is running a wonderful piece in their Lens section on Christer Stromholm (later known as Christer Christian), a Swedish photographer who spent a chunk of time in France during the late 50's, early 60's with a group of transgender women. The portraits shared in the piece vary between the beautifully posed, the casually intimate and the heartwarmingly comfortable. The images are stunning and worth a deeper look into his portfolio.

I can't help but feel heartbroken looking at these images from 60 years ago and thinking about recent initiatives to try and redefine gender. Articulating it further than that is difficult and bound to lack the eloquence it deserves.

Hott Minute: Halloween In Halloween

posted October 29, 2018 #

Just in time for Halloween, Hott Minute launches an extravaganza of spooky delights! They received a bizarre theme song about Halloween Safety from Miss Shelby and Leeann and are joined by their attorney, Brooks Alford to play a game of Smash, Spook or Slash in "Halloween in Halloween."
I'm biased but I think it's another hilarious episode; particularly given the subject matter is more up my alley with Halloween Classics. Do listen and, remember, it's also on Spotify now, so you've no excuse not to enjoy.

Friday Videos - Oct 26th, 2018 (Halloween)

posted October 26, 2018 #

I suggest shirking your work responsibilities and just cruising Giphy for Halloween images. Sure, it's not a good use of your time but it's a good way to get into the holiday spirit.

It's not Halloween until next week but given that it's Friday, why not go ahead with a heavily themed playlist? No objections? Great. I'm actually baffled by how long some of my old playlists were. Hopefully the above is enough to satisfy!
