Over at yk Records today we announced the sophomore album from The Medium, For Horses. The album is set to drop on August 19th and the band released a smattering of promo for it to kick things off. You can hear the first single, "Still the Best," on all the streaming services, you can watch a horse-laden video for the track and you can preorder the LP. Along with all that, I also overhauled the band's official site at themediumband.com. It's probably fair to say at this point that official websites for bands that mostly exist on social media networks isn't entirely necessary but I still really enjoy the process. It's fun to take the branding assets and figure out how to make them work as an informative site, while adding in a few bells and whistles where you can.

There's plenty of promotion on the horizon between now and August 19th but I hope that you'll dive into the new site, give the track a listen and maybe even follow the band.

Happy to announce the first iteration of a project I've been working on for awhile - Nashville Galaxy. It's a storefront that contains nostalgic t-shirt designs from various defunct spots around the Nashville area. If you've never been a resident of Nashville, the shirts may not make much sense but if you've ever lived here and pined for the return of a particular venue or restaurant, this may be a fun little shop for you to bookmark.

Technically speaking, I've been really interested in the technology behind Print On Demand services. Instead of ordering a bunch of stock of a particular shirt design (and all the various sizes), there are services now that will print your design when you order it. Many years ago, the quality is horrible. More recently, the quality is pretty fantastic. We did plenty of tests for these shirts before posting the site and I'm pleased to report this is world's beyond those iron-on tees you used to get a mall kiosk.

We're starting with 12 designs and have an incredibly lengthy list of additional spots to add. Go follow @nashvillegalaxy on Instagram and submit your design requests via DM if there's something you're hankering for.

I'm considering this posting a "soft launch" - so if you find any bugs or weirdness, let me know and we'll get it all sorted.

A relatable and adorable story

Blast from the past that I’d never actually seen

Fun investigation worth partaking

Been a long time since I checked in on Octopus Project but happy to report they’re still making the quality bleeps and bloops.

Yes, please.

I dare you to do this.

delightful

street mapping New York with photos from 1939 to 1941. I just can't fathom the work involved with geolocating all of this. Bonkers.

between Season 1 and Season 2 clip episode. Forgot about this!

caught this show at the Julia Martin Gallery and it is _good_. Do recommend.

I feel this announcement deep in my bones. I'm nowhere on the level as he is but I have been feeling burnout massively. Maybe this can inspire me to make change of sorts as well.

A delightful man making delightful contraptions
