👎✴️NEW SONG ALERT✴️👎
Some backstory here? Why not.
I thought it would be funny to show off a dumb video of me singing one of my acapella song creations on a cracked iPhone 4––which, at this point, are automatic reflexes and more of a nuisance than anything else, but I digress––and then I thought it would be funnier if I put something random and creepy on the screen of my iMac like so it seemed that it was just something I happened to be looking at when I decided to do this dumb thing, and my initial choice was tentacle porn (a nod to this) and I actually recorded one with tentacle porn in the background (just a screen featuring the initial results of a google image search for "tentacle porn") but I second-guessed myself, thinking that was too gross, and went with 9/11 instead. Voila. THAT HOW THE SAUSAGE GET MADE Y'ALL.

So this is where I'm at now. Here's my resubmitted album art to that service, mentioned earlier. Apparently my "first attempt" was both too blurry (umm, art? ever heard of it?) and got flagged for having words (any words!) that weren't a) the EXACT title of the release and b) the EXACT name of the band I registered––in this case: "a THE PIZZA PUPPIES release" instead of just "THE PIZZA PUPPIES" ...i guess:(((
It's frustrating because this stuff is so dumb to begin with. I just want an avenue to get it to these outlets because that would be even dumber. And I am shocked and dismayed when my quest for more dumbness is thwarted!

My picks (mostly on this early game; I might post more later about the Vikes/Iggles), in four parts…

This is the cover I submitted for this '''release''' {DJ President Trump, y'all} via a new APP-ONLY! (lol) service that, apparently, delivers your shit to ALL serving platforms with NO service fee + NO royalty %! If that seems too good to be true––ha!!––I'm wit u. We'll see...... (this is the alternative cover OF COURSE; I'd never actually do a design like this, what am I CRAZZZY??) (it's called "a THE PIZZA PUPPIES release" b/c The Pizza Puppies were the name I applied for via the app and I, obviously, thought that was appropz)
I have a (literal) 🔥🔥🔥 take on the Tom Brady hand injury
So, it was super weird that he wore gloves to his presser. This is true. If it was some kind of structural injury than what would gloves be hiding? Especially if he can make a fist, as has been reported. So my hot take is... that he burned his hand. (Get it? Hot?) Maybe he grabbed a castiron skillet at home or something, but that's what he's hiding: treated, bandaged burns. 🔥🔥🔥 baby! Let's go. #GloveGate
I think classifying this as "bizarre" does no justice to the sentiment behind it but what the fuck do I know.

YouTube disabling low-view accounts from monetizing is kind of a b.s. movie imo. I don't see how this will combat nazism or [whatever]. I really don't. The 'wild wild west' nature of YT always made it feel like the most level playing field of the social networks, if you even want to lump it in with them. Oh well, the Facebookification of the Internet knows no limits. Say la, V.

My Top 5 Movies of 2017
5. The Beguiled: kind of a distant 5th at this point; I'm still catching up on most of the good ones and would assume this falls out (but based on score, I'll leave it here).4. Brigsby Bear: a rare treat where the audacity of a wacky premise is equaled by the strength of performers/execution.
3. Nathan for You: Finding Frances: not technically a "movie" but who cares! This feature length piece is one of the most original things I've seen in awhile.
2. Phantom Thread: PTA continues his reign as the best filmmaker in the world right now; my podcast review is forthcoming.
1. Lady Bird: a classic.

It would interesting and nice if everyone was in a band and also an author and everyone's houses would just be music/bookshops where you could peruse their output; just by touching a physical artifact you would then magically 'own' said artifact in the digital platform of your choosing. Everything would be in the cloud and also real and we'd all really be on Cloud-9™. The End.

I can remember watching Synecdoche New York in a movie theater in Montgomery New Jersey when it came out and I was drinking some wine and I had to pee really badly during the second half of the movie. It sort of ruined it though I recall really loving the film. I'm not sure if I ever saw it again after that night. Seems funny that my first and strongest memory of it is having to pee cuz I was drinking wine in the theater. It makes me sad. We used to do that so often. Now I don't even have the opportunity to ruin movies.
Finally, after MySpace effed up, the semenal debut from DJ President Trump is BACK. ON. LINE. Check out the official vk™ page of Jack Smith (unaffiliated) via www.vk.com/riteaid and specifically this post here to DL/STREAM Jazz for Millennials in all its hot glory! And thx y'all for bein' a-part of this journey. We gonna keep it and also keep it on & on (ya feel?)... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

I probably shouldn't be so annoyed that these songs don't play on myspace.com here in 2018 but that's where my head at. Oh well. I'll get this back online soon.
