Because I'm a maniac and @warnerblaster put the idea in my brain, I made a playlist with one song by every artist I've ever taken a picture of. It's 713 songs and 43 hours long. Enjoy? https://t.co/WLb1zEbscs

Dent May - "Sea Salt & Caramel"
this delightful weirdo is at it again
mr. Gnome - The Day You Flew Away
an unexpected new style for this band but i'm digging it, alot
Hope you're doing okay. Enjoy some distractions.
- Fourth of July, 2020, Marquette, Michigan - for anyone that has pride in America; think again!
- Law and Order: Seasonal Depression Unit - absolutely perfect. This thing has so many small details that it requires multiple viewings to appreciate the amount of care put into this.
- Detroit swindle Sax - yes please, more of this (from 2018, don't get upset about the crowd).
- Andy Samberg Reacts to Andy Samberg on SNL - the promotional circuit for Palm Springs has helped spawn some enjoyable gems like this one.
- A Black Lady Sketch Show: The Basic Ball - I've yet to dive into full episodes of this show but there are some rather enjoyable sketches making the rounds. Loved this one.
- iPod Unboxing, 2002 - I posted this earlier in the week but 18 years makes a world of difference in terms of knowing what a device like an iPod even is.
- 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World' Reunion Table Read - this is nearly 90 minutes long but I suggest carving time out to enjoy it. It is, delightful.
There's also several episodes peppered throughout their archive looking at films that went through a wild amount of drafts and iterations. For instance, a Super Mario Bros script where they encounter Bruce Willis. As if that movie wasn't bad enough!
They're also on Instagram and Twitter if you're just looking for some movie ephemera but not ready to dive into a podcast.
It's a song about the wake of the 2016 election and, personally, one of my favorites from the forthcoming album. Here's a little insight about the song from Todd K:
This song was inspired by the shock, revulsion, and fear we awoke to on November 9th, 2016. We called loved ones to check on them. We sat silently in parked cars, unable to muster the will to step out onto the street. We were giddily leered at in public places by people who did not share our obvious despair. I remember being actually afraid of old people and white adult males in the grocery store.I know Conservatives and the Alt-Right like to cast Liberals as overly emotional creatures but I completely feel this sentiment. The 2016 election results inflicted a sickening feeling and it injected a dose of paranoia about those around you - could that person possibly support such a vile person?
A month later I was picking up a Clinton/Kaine sign still stuck in the grass outside of work when several young men in a car drove by and screamed, "FUCK YOU!" I couldn't figure out whether they were mad that I was moving the sign, or mad at me for being associated with the sign.
The opening lyrics to the song embody that idea quite well:
Friends and familySome might say that the Gestapo / Nazi metaphor for Trump supporters is going too far but I'd venture to say it's not too far off the mark.
Are you ok, do you see what I see
Terror in the hearts of the free
Gestapo shops the same grocery as me
All that said, it's an upbeat and catchy song. So you get a nice shiny happy bit of music mixed with a rather dark sentiment; my favorite combo for pop music.

But I digress! The above GIF is from the wonderful new Modern Feminist Lyric Video, which you should watch but has no relation to the distractions which follow.
And here they are.
- Banksy's Back - a short little video documenting his latest tags. I include this entirely for the music choice at the end. A total groaner or stupidly brilliant? Maybe both.
- Cleaning a Boar with a Pressure Washer - may we all know such elation one day.
- Fulblown - "Poor" - your endurance challenge for the week. The song is... mediocre (to me) but what is going on with these images?!
- Table Tennis with the Lads - everyone gets what they deserve
- Birds with Arms - more of this, please
- DJ SHAQ - downright delightful. A perfect edit.
We're also dropping a new lyric video for our song "Modern Feminist."

Watch it here: https://t.co/PPXEJS6lQn
Directed and animated by Dycee Wildman, concept and collage by Beth Cameron and Aaron Hartley. https://t.co/fBKuIVedMd
The video was Directed and Animated by Dycee Wildman, based on collages from Beth Cameron and Aaron Hartley. If you think animated collages can't be emotionally moving, you're in for a surprise. Wildman did a phenomenal job capturing the emotion and sentiment of the song.
