Chris Crofton is a musician turned comedian that regularly contributes a column to the Nashville Scene called Advice King in which he gives absurd-yet-not-inaccurate feedback to ridiculous questions. Now he's taken that Advice King to the YouTube realm with this video installment. Unsurprisingly, it works quite well. Hopefully there's more of these lurking in the future.
Happy to welcome Little Bandit to the yk records roster. His debut full-length album, Breakfast Alone, will be released on February 10th, 2017 and is available for pre-order now.
I'm holding off on posting any actual music from the album just yet as there is a possibility of a proper premiere around the corner. The record is a proper country album, filled with stories of bad decision making, heartache and odes to alcohol. If you're the type willing to roll the dice, order the limited edition pink vinyl now... otherwise, stay tuned for greatness in the near future.
You know how trends are cyclical? You had grunge rock in the mid-90's and now you hear its influence in great new music? Well, the Club Kids scene from the early 90's seems to be coming back around... and I welcome it. While much of the movement is often associated with KIDS or Michael Alig's horrible decision making, it's also rich with imagination and insanely over-the-top costuming and character creation.
If you're willing to dip your toe in, browse through the offerings of Sussi; a mesmerizing character if ever there was one. After that, watch this VICE coverage on the re-emergence of the scene. The costuming is much more bonkers than it was in the 90's but it's an excellent step-up from the previous iteration.
Take some time to read through this exhaustive post on a Chilean UFO that was recently spotted by the CEFAA (the agency that investigates Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). I realize that believing in random spacecraft from other planets emitting high energy gas into our atmosphere seems like a stretch but it's a fascinating read. And the videos, whatever they are, are equally entrancing.
This final segment covers all of the songs on Side B of the album as well as the release and aftermath. It's a bit shorter than part one but the guys have clearly loosened up, so it's a very entertaining listen.
Again, thanks to Ryan Ervin for hosting the band, Jeremy Ferguson for lending his studio Battle Tapes to record it.
