Not sure if anyone recorded Mac DeMarco's epic crowdsurf->balcony dive last night. Oh wait everyone did. I was gonna take out my phone too but then I was like, "you know something, these people standing in front of me actually have a better angle." So I let the minions do the work. I'll try to capture and post some of the best vids of this madness later.
How was the show? Really great. All I do is go to shows because of how cool and relevant I am but this one felt genuinely special.

Oh, I know what I forgot to mention on one of my delightful recent podcast episodes! The singer/guitarist/keyboardist on the righthand side of the stage with the beautiful hair had a bum leg and he kept saying he was sitting on a chair when it was in fact a stool (he was wrong) but he was also using crutches to get on and off the stage and this brought up a discussion with my bro about an opinion I've held dearly for years: crutches are useless. There is a time when you are essentially immobile and there is a time when you can limp around with a boot or brace or maybe just a cane. Crutches technology (Big Crutch?) is a stagnant field, my friends. Literally no one on crutches needs crutches. But that's just my 0.02¢.

The name of this band is THE Pizza Puppies
Not "Pizza Puppies," sorry for the confusion but getting a lot of inquiries and need to clear this up. The membership takes this stuff very seriously.
Latest edition to our list of premium FAKE SONGS: "The Pope… Business Antelope?" We here at My America Industries hope to make all of these FAKE SONGS real one day and that is a promise.
A NEW WAY OF DOING
I've deleted all (well, most) of my social media feeds (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram). The only ones I am still using will be strictly because I like the programs for art-making purposes and wasn't even using them for 'networking' to begin with:
This is an experiment, just like everything else. An experiment in focus. I will still look at Feedly to keep up on new music news, but all other content channels are closed for business. I will be using this blog + my tumblr (re-rebranded as shrimpkardashian) to put my things into the world. I will also be using this blog in association with Flickr and YouTubes to do 'Twitter-like' musings and 'live' content posts.
But my main goal at this point is to focus on the music and arts career of the Pizza Puppies collective, of which I am proud to announce that I am their new manager, as I continue to work on making My America Industries great again. It's all happening so fast!
