Jon

posted June 28, 2018 #

I posted about this on the sidebar already but if you haven't read both issues of Gale Galligan's comic Jon, you are missing out. From one angle, it's Fan/Fic about Jon Arbuckle, Garfield's owner, but from another angle it's about the feelings of inadequacy as a creative individual trying to make a splash with your endeavors. It's also quite sweet, fun and well drawn.

Oh, and there's not really much Garfield at all if that was a hesitation you had. Read them both and then order one or two!

Confuse your friends, family and co-workers with your very own “Sandusky, Ohio” T-Shirt! We also made stickers and tote bags. You can put 6-packs of be-...soda in there! https://t.co/qsFwqvaDLu https://t.co/EekResvw6C

Coupler - Invention I: Dreams of Strange Continents

posted June 27, 2018 #

Awhile back, I got Coupler together with diretor Craig Hill and light show artists Dig Deep to make a video for the first track off of Gifts from the Ebb Tide. If you're not familiar with Dig Deep, they create projections and installations through a number of organic methods. That's an odd term to use for a light show but they've got projectors setup with pools of colored liquids, transparency overlays and a ton of nuanced tricks for creating an absolutely beautiful, immersive, visual experience.

The video for Invention I: Dreams of Strange Continents showcases that well. Coupler isn't a band that you go to watch in the same way that you'd go see a rock band. That's why their pairing with various films works so well.

But I digress. It's a new video and I think it's compelling for the work that everyone involved contributed. I'm very happy with how it turned out and hope to make many gifs from it.

Don't Let It Get You Down

posted June 27, 2018 #

Wanted to drop a little update on the Sandusky, Ohio album I helped release (the one based on Tommy Boy).
  • Lyric Video! - enjoy this lyric video for "Don't Let It Get You Down" - an enjoyable romp through the main story of the film.
  • @SanduskyAlbum - Dave started a Twitter account just for the album. So, if you want the latest latest, follow that.
  • Sandusky Shop - if you want that beautiful Sam Smith artwork on a t-shirt, tote or sticker, we got you covered.
  • UpRoxx loves it - some kind words from Dustin Rowles
  • FastCompany loves it - more kind words from Joe Berkowitz.
  • WROR Boston loves it - they call it "actual music," so that's a plus!
I'd love to start a campaign to get people that were actually involved in the movie to notice this thing. Director Pete Segal or writers Bonnie & Terry Turner can't be that hard to track down and take notice, right?

Google Podcasts, What's the Deal?

posted June 27, 2018 #

There's been much talk lately about the recently launched Google Podcasts app; a native take on subscribing and listening to shows. As I understand it, most folks have been using third party app Pocket Casts up to this point and loving it - so why is the Google Podcast app worth mentioning?

This piece from James Cridland does a good job of spelling out the reasons why the app is significant. The broad points are:
  • The app is just a frontend for search results that are already on every phone. It's just a shortcut to something you've always had.
  • The app doesn't automatically download anything ahead of time, it plays on demand. This is impactful because it might alter podcast stats; if mearly downloading an episode was coming back as a play.
  • It doesn't use the iTunes API for shows. This levels the playing field a bit as the Android user base is huge and may make discovery easier.
I can't be sure one way or the other how this will impact the actual ecosystem of podcasting but I'm glad to see the Googs spending some time on the format.

@resisterhood my husband works full-time, is a true co-parent, gets up and does the early shift with the kids every day, and still finds time to make art. He released a new album on Friday that is just amazing.
