@texturl @boutte @whiskerino @toddfs @chesterfly @joelkrieger @yewknee How about the great house plant challenge! (Planterino)
1) still about growing and showing
2) inclusive to anyone
3) plant must be visible in all pictures
4) no photoshop
@whiskerino @texturl @masonpoe @chesterfly @joelkrieger @boutte @yewknee I understand. I just don’t know what that could be. You really did MAKE an amazing thing and FOSTERED an amazing community. The genuineness of it all is what lingers with me.
The video was edited together by Mike Shepherd and I'm just captivated by the clips he was able to find to pair with the song. It fits the energy just right and lyrics just right. There's a moment when the footage flips upside down that was not done by Shepherd, it's just a perfect happy accident to fit the song.
If you're a fan of clever pop songs, keep an ear out for more on The Prudish Few. The songs are deceptively poppy but often contain a nice political rumbling just below the surface.
I've uncovered a MAJOR conspiracy, and can't keep it to myself. @cwwhoseline filmed at least three seasons of the show in advance, I've found the same audience in multiple seasons

"Modern Feminist", the second single from Black Bra, is out today exclusively on Bandcamp (for now). This is actually the very first track I heard from the band way back when demos were first coming together. I've always been struck by the straightforward honesty of the lyrics; something frontwoman Beth Cameron has always excelled at but feels especially potent on this track.
Do me a favor - and, in turn, yourself a favor - go listen to this song while reading the lyrics, I think it adds to the enjoyment.
On a personal note, I'm pretty happy with how the artwork came together; some of my finer work as of recently.
Todd Kemp has been playing around Nashville for... 20 years? His bands The Carter Administration and
Enter The Prudish Few, a new undertaking from Kemp along with Mike Shepherd and Jay Leo Phillips; two musicians I've also always admired for their work in Tower Defense and JLP respectively. Today they release their inaugural single "In A" from the forthcoming album The Eagle Has Left the Building.
These songs are deceptively fun. I mean, they're fun, don't get me wrong but it's not a shallow undertaking. There's an undercurrent of political statements weaving through the lyrics and I think that's what drew me to the project. It's musically memorable but it's also meaningful.
Full album comes out Aug 21st and we'll be releasing some videos and additional singles along the way. Give it a whirl. This is a Bandcamp exclusive for today and then will hit streaming services next week.
Great new project from Brian Miller called Song of the Summer Club. At its core, it's a mixtape. Beyond that, it's a very fun, very well designed website filled with upbeat and enjoyable songs across a variety of genres. It is, in short, a nice place to visit.
It's also admirable that it has a shelf life. According to the About page, it'll be updated through September 1st and then go into hibernation until next summer. I love that.
Apparently there is a documentary about Blind Melon singer Shannon Hoon entitled All I Can Say that is derived from his own home video footage. From the looks of the trailer, it seems to be entirely comprised of his own footage; which is pretty remarkable.
I was a big Blind Melon fan - particularly after they released Soup, which was sonically much more up my alley than the debut record that had "No Rain" on it. That said, after Hoon's death the video for "Galaxie" always felt much more troubled in hindsight, an almost literal depiction that he was off the rails.
Regardless, the doc looks good and I'm happy to see that Oscilloscope Labs is releasing it with a bunch of partners so you can purchase it and kick back to your local record store.
