Since 2006, my friend Seth Pomeroy has been working on a documentary about the band
Silkworm. They toiled in obscurity in roughly 17 years despite having multiple albums on Matador Records and Touch & Go. It's a shame too because their music
is quite good, it just never reached the cultural masses. After long last, the film sharing their story -
Couldn't You Wait? The Story of Silkworm - is available for viewing.
Seth was able to get interviews with Stephen Malkmus, Jeff Tweedy, Steve Albini and a crazy list of others. He even split the film up into multiple packages depending on your fandom - $5 for just the movie or $20 for the movie and hours and hours of extra content. I'm really happy that he was able to finish this project but, moreso, happy that he was able to tell such a compelling story about the band.
Watch the trailer or just
get the movie.

I can not believe I'm releasing the sixty-first volume of the
WOTT podcast. There was part of me that assumed I would stop at 50, or maybe 60, but there's such an overwhelming amount of great new music constantly streaming forth from the Nashville area that it's hard not share.
As with all the previous iterations it's a smattering of indie, electronic, Quality Country, post-rock and a whole range of great styles that Nashville gets sold short on.

Emilio Gomariz has a wealth of
bizarre work to check out but there's none better than this series of
RGB Landscapes. I want these running on a loop near me at all times. It's transfixing. I could blabber on about all the aspects of it I love so much but, really, you just need to go
dive in.

Ever wanted to see
Census Bureau data overlaid on a map to get an idea of income or rent? Well, just steer over to
Rich Blocks, Poor Blocks and check it out. See what's the closest city you can find without any visible red.

It's another week,
another playlist. Some you have, undoubtedly, seen already but I think you'll still get some enjoyment regardless.
Have a great weekend everyone. Maybe I'll see you
out and
about.

Tonight
Roy Ira plays
The High Watt with WB Givens and Mayday Malone to celebrate the release of
Still Be My Love. I realize most of you don't live in the Nashville area but just use this as a gentle reminder to maybe check out
said album when you a have moment? It's hard not to
love this or
this (or, if you're a fan of a more serious faire,
this).

OK Focus teamed up with the band
Tanlines to create this experimental music video for
Not The Same. It is, essentially, a bunch of individual green screened videos but there's a level of interactivity that's just kitsch enough to captivate you for a little bit. You can read / hear more about the undertaking
here but, honestly, you'll get it if you just watch it.

Well, we're all screwed. It was
announced that Hulu has teamed up with the Criterion Collection and will be airing their entire library, for free, for the remainder of the weekend. It's a
vast catalog but you're probably going to want to watch them all, right? Sorry if you already had plans.
Okay, even if you
don't immerse yourself in quality movie binging this weekend you should peruse the cover art because it's always phenomenal and inspiring.

I don't have any plans to actually use it myself but this demo of Adobe's
Edge Reflow at least shows they're making serious efforts to stay relevant. It's easy to bag on Adobe for its
long, complicated history (sometimes, rightfully so) but it's hard to complain about tools that will empower more people to make the web better.
