Caged Animals

The Ratso record I produced getting some early love from Rolling Stone!

@mvbones1980 Nice! I’m making a record on a 388 right now too!

The machine upon which we’ve been making hits ❤️‍🔥

@mvbones1980 My dad grew up in Newark too. Been starting to research that time period for a project I’m working on. This sounds like the wrong book. have you heard of anything better?

My pops never reads but now is reading a pretty right-wing self-published book abt the Newark Rebellion written by some dude from his neighborhood in Newark, and he hit me w/ this: “U know who instigated the riots? That poet u like.” He was talking abt Amiri Baraka. Oh pops. ❤️‍🔥

Statement from Bob Dylan on the passing of Robbie Robertson: “This is shocking news. Robbie was a lifelong friend. His passing leaves a vacancy in the world.”

New music video! This has been a massive labor of love courtesy of some of my very talented friends (especially animator/editor Becky Lovell) - give it a watch it’s kinda magical

The idea of a Pavement musical — combining the quintessential “slacker” band with the most tryhard genre of performance — makes no sense. But you know what *would* make sense? A Destroyer musical.

Just two more days to vote for It Makes A Sound and other wonderful fiction shows in the @audioverseawrd! Tis the season for voting! survey.alchemer.com/s3/7057881/202…

What a fantastic video. Share with your Republican family. Biggest hypocrites on the planet

@ZacharyCale I’m so sorry for your loss Zach. ❤️

@imjasondiamond Hell yea - uncut gems is a masterpiece

Thanks jacquelyn!! ❤️✨

@hannahjocelync As long as I’ve been a music fan I’ve used this technique: if you dig an artist check out the other artists on the label(s) they work with.

@JeffTobiasSPAC Didn’t know that existed!

I’m still holding out hope that one day I will discover an upload of the episode of Howard Stern where they listened to and critiqued the music of Zs

Also putting it out there that it would be incredible if they ever released a vinyl version of The Attic Tape. They did a limited run of cassettes that I missed out on, but this album as a record would get a LOT of play from me. itmakesasound.bandcamp.com/album/wim-faro…

Season 2 is now 6 episodes deep, and every ep has been an absolute treat. The music, the plot, the characters (both new and returning); it’s all sublime.

Then last year the creator @jacqlandgraf announced season 2 was coming, and I was simultaneously excited and nervous as hell. S1 was such a marvellous and succinct story that I wasn’t sure what to expect from a follow-up. Would it capture what made the show special? Spoiler: Yes

Five years ago when season 1 came out I loved the gradual shift from ‘quirky lady makes a show in her attic about forgotten musician’ to ‘sad lady takes care of mom and makes unexpected friends’ and it all culminated beautifully at the end. The one-and-done season was perfect.

Season 2 Episode 6: Occupational Therapy #rememberwimfaros

@JeffTobiasSPAC 🤣 Me and @ratsosloman were recently at a restaurant like that. We could hardly hide our displeasure

FBI Agent: We're investigating the dozens of angrily scrawled, expletive-filled letters to the mayor's office demanding an end to QR codes being used in place of paper menus in restaurants Me: I mean that does look like my handwriting
