Been a big week of announcements! We Own This Town was relaunched. Hott Minute, the first podcast series on the WOTT Network, was released. Patrick Damphier was added to the yk Records roster with a new 7" coming out on Feb 23rd. Oh, and that same day is the big A Night of: yk Records 2 show at Mercy Lounge in Nashville. Oh, and bonus thing, Little Bandit is hitting the road with Margo Price starting tomorrow (Jan 20th) playing several sold out shows. If you can find a way to see any of those, please do.
I know this site is meant to be a hub for random distractions and interesting topics but, honestly, if I can fill it with things that I'm putting out into the world, I'll do it.
That being said, here's some distractions from around the way.

- First Look: Nintendo Labo - I was skeptical but this new announcement from Nintendo seems sort of brilliant? I don't even fully get it yet but it seems that you'll be able to design and print an infinite number of cardboard chasis for your Switch that will add an extra layer of interaction to various games. I need to learn more about it all but I'm glad to see this out in the world.
- Beck - Fix Me - Adorable dogs and baby in this latest from Beck. Are the dogs friendly companions or stand-ins for parents?
- Animotion - Obsession - alright, since I already posted one music video, here's another from 80's that is perfectly bonkers. I want to see a Kyle Mooney remake of this.
- DJ Cummerbund - Jereloose - this classic from Pearly Jammins will surely top your 2018 Spotify playlist.
- Winston Churchill dancing like James Brown, played by Gary Oldman - I'm hesistant to applaud silly Oldman is doing at the moment given depressing facts about him but I did find this rather amusing.
- How TVs Work - maybe you already know all about refresh rates, LEDs, OLEDs, CRTs, etc. but you maybe haven't seen them all shot this well. It's a primer type explanation but a worthwhile one just for the fidelity of looking at how all the pieces work.
