Introducing Memento Stori

posted August 24, 2020 #

Very happy to share the trailer for Memento Stori, a new podcast on the We Own This Town network hosted by Rebecca Delius. The show is "about our complicated connections to inherited items" but I think the trailer says it better than any marketing logline can:
The first episode will be released quite soon but I highly suggest you go ahead and subscribe so you don't miss it. It is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Overcast and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

You can, and should, follow the show on Instagram @mementostori. I'm excited to be a part of sharing this one with the world!

Searched Giphy for #wonderful and this came back. Seems right.

If you're here for some meaningless distractions, you have no better destination than /r/AbruptChaos/ on Reddit. You're welcome.

Here's to a wonderful weekend.

Side note, have you watched YOLO: Crystal Fantasy on Adult Swim? Has a SuperJail vibe to it, which I am into.

Stay safe out there. Keep wearing the dang mask.

The Eagle Has Left The Building

posted August 21, 2020 #

The debut album from Nashville trio The Prudish Few, The Eagle Has Left the Building, is officially available today via my own yk records. Streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and anywhere else you like to stream. I recommend Bandcamp of course but just listen to it!
The members of The Prudish Few have been in various bands around Nashville for as long as I can remember. Todd Kemp played in The Carter Administration for... forever. Mike Shepherd and Jay Leo Phillips were both a part of Apollo Up!- one of my all time favorites - as well as Tower Defense and their own solo album, respectively. All that is to say, I've been a devout fan of their individual work for almost 20 years. Hearing them come together in a new project feels familiar but also entirely fresh and new. It's pop rock but it's intricate in a way that is hard to articulate.

In a recent interview with the band I quipped that they sound like "If They Might Be Giants and [D.C. math-pop trio] Faraquet got together." That's a niche comparison if ever there was one but I stand by it.

I really recommend that you just start at the top of the album and let it play through but if you need a recommended starting point that isn't one of the previously released singles, give “I Am From History” a whirl for some head-bopping elation or “Aliver Than Ever” for a cool breeze on a brisk summer day.

Enjoy!

So sorry to hear about the passing of Chi Chi DeVayne. Drag Race gave us a lot of stars but she still managed to stand out among that firmament. Rest in Power, queen. https://t.co/J0sE30WNgN

So @Remember_Sarah and I started @whyaredads, a podcast about understanding relationships with dad, figurative + literal. I am beyond excited. As with all things between Sarah + me, we'll talk about serious stuff by talking about less serious stuff. https://t.co/sxIxHBy7cT

Great read on the dichotomy between Bandcamp and Spotify and it nicely tees up a conversation around an Indieweb-based future for bands. ???? https://t.co/wxrSv5gQxv

Meadownoise - For Zero Donelson

posted August 19, 2020 #

I've been posting about all of the videos from the Meadownoise album Threeve for the past twelve weeks and today that cycle comes to an end with the release of For Zero Donelson. The track is the midway point of the album and serves as an ominous bridge to the back half of. If there was an LP, this would surely end side one.

I can't stress enough how engaging I find this video. It's one take of a painfully slow grin from our subject (Matthew Glassmeyer, Meadownoise himself). The control to smile this slowly is beyond my comprehension but he manages to take it through all of the stages of subtlety and end up in a wildly grimacing place. In my opinion, it's wild.

I hope to remind you about Threeve again in the future but, for now, do yourself a favor and watch the entire record, it's a treat.

Really been enjoying the disgusting allure of these Dax Norman GIFs, maybe you will too.

Before we dive in to the distractions, please take a moment to please your ears with this new Prudish Few song, I think you'll enjoy it.

And on to the distractions! Bonus: Love the message, hate the messenger.

Stay safe out there. Keep wearing the dang mask.
