Way way back in March of 2020, I got my first look at the video for "Jack of Fools," a track off the forthcoming Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection LP and I was completely mesmerized.
Tim Ward created this completely psychedelic experience and I can't say enough great things about it. I love the simple "frame in clouds" setup and how he continuously breaks that frame with acid warped "trails" and a color palette that would fit right in 1960's San Francisco.
The track itself is, obviously, wonderful as well. I can't wait for everyone to hear this record and fall in love with it as much as I have. Give it a watch or listen and prepare for more on Nov 12th.

It's October so you know I've been compiling a Halloween playlist of absurdities. If you have suggestions, let me know. I want all the gems. Send them all!
Let's just dive into some distractions.
Sizzler Promotional Commercial 1991 - watch the entire 4:41 seconds of this. A book's worth of investigations and questions will swirl around you. How is American Freedom and Revolution related to a buffet? Did they shoot all of this? Why is that one couple making out so hard in a Sizzler? Mysteries of the universe. HT to Baldwin for this one.
Wendy's Chili - okay, so there's a whole YouTube of Training Videos (of course there is) and this Wendy's Chili Song is FIRE.
Marc Rebillet - Girl's Club - I am new to the world of Marc Rebillet. I was skeptical I would enjoy but I'll be damned if it isn't hilarious.
Megan the Stallion - Savage - I know nothing about Megan the Stallion but this performance is phenomenal for a myriad of reasons; the song, the message and the insane projections. Worth your time.
Tower Defense is prepping their second full-length release, In the City, and the first single from that release just hit the streaming services. To contextualize it, the band put together a playlist of influences that molded them as a band and informed the album.
Unsurprisingly, it's a wonderfully eclectic mix of late 90's indie underground, 80's new wave & post punk and a few surprising recent influences (don't sleep on Woolen Men!).
