Do you think the benihana chefs still do all of the cooking tricks for quarantine takeout orders, like just sighing whistfully in a darkened reataurant and solemnly throwing shrimps into their hats

Two weeks ago, I spoke to someone who told me they’ve figured out who’s in control of Q-Anon. And after a lot of reporting, I believe them. https://t.co/sS2YQx1ubz

You know what this means, gang. We gotta start prepping for the big earthquake and the asteroid. It’s all that’s left on the list of horrible shit!

I made a Sprockets reference in my work Slack today and it fell on deaf ears. Turns out I really am 41 and these kinds of pop culture references tend to fall by the wayside. Particularly if you weren't born when they aired.

In other news, the latest Coupler EP is streaming everywhere. Treat yourself to this EP of "Strictly Bangers."

On to the visual distractions.

Margot & Andy - "will you move your clothes?", "Yea, I need to do something tho"
MAVS - "Algorithm" - it's a music video but really it's a short film. A pretty intense one at that.
Buying a Computer in 1994 - a shocking amount of Good Ole Boys and Older Ladies.
Fox in the Starbucks - these noises... :mindblown:
Free Form Chair Climbing - an Olympic I'd watch.
Too Many - or just enough?
A bowl of salad in the seat of a wheelchair rolling down the street unassisted (with Diana Ross) - say no more.

Stay safe out there. Keep wearing the dang mask.

Topshelf Records

In a time when official websites mean less and less, it's really refreshing to see the work put into the new Top Shelf Records site. I am not familiar with the roster of the label but I love their mission statement that informed their creation:

When writing about a song or album, the convention is to use the present tense. A piece of music, although representative of and influenced by the era in which it was created, is ultimately always experienced in ~the present~. It's with this innocuous little thought nugget that we bring you the newest version of our humble home on the www.

The idea that new music has to be recently released is cumbersome. I can't tell you the number of roadblocks I've encountered with yk Records in trying to get attention on an album or song that is simply discarded because it's "already out." Music having been previously out in the world has no bearing on its enjoyment or its share-ability.

I'll refrain from a longform rant on our collective social desire for "the next thing" - and just say, please click around this site. Give it a deep dive. Listen to some "new" music. And give a big round of applause to Kevin Duquette for the hard work.

While looking for a piece of old @vhxtv work, I came across a video that I couldn't remember making https://t.co/wqD1oDxA16 Turns out I didn't - a Korean brand combined the letters VHX the same way I had for our old logo – which is an amazing fluke and I believe it's just that.

Fact: I took three days off work last week to catch up on personal work. Sad but true. I thought this would help me get all "caught up" on emails that I've had lingering since May but, no! It turns out, sending an email generally results in receiving one. I sealed my own fate on that one.

On a positive note, it's Friday. I'm ready to goof off with some stupid videos.

Mississippi Fights COVID-19 with Out Run - you know what kids born in 2002 like? Educational instructions from 1980s video games. This can't fail, right?
Shake Disturbance - I'm a big fan of rare cat meow noises.
Caracal Screams for Food - never forget Laser Meow. One of the best.
Pet the Cat - just a delightful diddy as far as I'm concerned.
That one Papa John's interview - but as a clown.
The Squirrel Bar - 7 minutes of a man constructing a deluxe nut bar for squirrels. Entranced.
David Lynch being a madman for a relentless 8 minutes and 30 seconds - loved every moment.

Stay safe out there. Keep wearing the dang mask.
