Happy that the Skyway Man record is out in the world, streaming everywhere. If you're in Nashville, please get yourself to the release show. It's going to be something special.

David Lynch's La La Land - a masterful edit, though shouldprobably be even weirder.
Trebek Raps - a whole category rapped by the infamous host. The music edit is pretty great too.
Skyway Man - "Plane" - i keep watching this because it's such a bizarre, silly video paired with a song about a plane crash.
"My Weekend" - I don't know what this is and I don't want any context. Maybe it's a cult, maybe it's a group of broken individuals working some stuff out or maybe something less nefarious but I don't want to know. Ignorance is bliss. Pure bliss.
Black Holes - it's 11 minutes but worth the full watch. Absurdity abound: "It chronicles the journey of Dave The Astronaut and his partner, an intelligent melon, as they embark on the first ever human mission to Mars." So good.
Magnificent Ambersons End Credits - Orson Welles narrates the end credits to this 1942 film. Can we bring back this style? via Austin.
A Tribute to Peter - recently, Peter McArthur announced his departure from Vimeo. He's been with the company since the very beginning. This video compiles his ambient videos with this nonsense tweets - even if you don't know the guy, it's a peacefully hilarious viewing.

Lastly, please enjoy some Republicans getting their shit wrecked by constituents, it's wonderful.

Skyway Man Unleashed

posted February 24, 2017 #

Many years ago, I fell head over heels for More Strange News from Another Star, the second album from James Wallace and the Naked Light. I saw him play a number of times and looked forward to whatever was next from him. Then we struck up a conversation and he informed me that his next project would be called Skyway Man; a new name for a slightly new direction. I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the project and, now, the debut album Seen Comin' From a Mighty Eye is available everywhere.

You can hear it on Bandcamp, Spotify or Apple Music (or wherever music is streamed) or pick up the gorgeously packaged double vinyl on marbled colorways.

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect follow-up album. It's got the same fusion of strange spacey themes mixed with a balance of Paul Simon and folksy styles. I know that sounds absolutely bonkers but it completely works.
