Posted on August 24, 2017 by Tyler • Leave a comment

36 pages, printed on Risograph at Striped Light, on fancy linen paper! Stories and advice from 15 years (give or take) of making, posting, and distributing flyers for whatever reason possessed me. I’ll have a couple of these on me in case you see me and want one (I’ll cut you a deal if you … Continue reading →

Posted on August 22, 2017 by Tyler • 1 Comment

Thanks to everyone who came out last night for Friendlytown’s One Year anniversary show. We had a lot of fun, ate pizza and cake, and reflected on how The Pilot Light has, between Friendtown and 2 years of QED Comedy Laboratory before us, hosted comedy just about every Monday night for three years. Unbelievable. Check … Continue reading →

Unfunny, Shitty Stolen Memes (Part I)

Posted on May 17, 2017 by Tyler • Leave a comment

I’d never say I hate memes or viral videos, since that would be like saying I don’t like overarching concepts like music or sports. They exist for a reason and they’re not going away. But most of the time, they suck and have no reason to exist. That being said, very few things boil my … Continue reading →

"So the story begins..." #NowPlaying BLUR - "The Great Escape" (1995, @virginemi) I recently found a paper I wrote about "Country House" for a Political Science class my senior year at @syracuseu, in case anyone was curious as to how much I was KILLIN' IT BACK THEN. Here's an excerpt: [Some dumb bullshit] The end! I got an 'A' on it, and it probably wasn't the first time this band factored into my grades somehow. But I'll leave those stories for my subsequent Blur posts. Does anyone want to talk about how insanely sad-great "Yuko and Hiro" is? Any fellow #spazzcore fans (freakin' nerds) want to talk about how much this album influenced Frodus (Conglomerate International)? Also, how lame (relatively, seeing as how we're dealing with the best British singles band since The Smiths here) the singles off this album were next to the deep cutz? Okay, you can't mess with "The Universal" but goodness it's like they wrote that song specifically to close their second encores 15 years later. And okay, the Kick Horns finale reminds me why I still love "Country House" (and so do you). Top Tracks: 1. "Yuko and Hiro" 2. "Top Man" 3. "Globe Alone" /// #vinylcollection #blur #britpop #thegreatescape #vinylreissue #vinylcollection_feature #vinyl #britishmusic #colchester #damonalbarn #danabnormal #grahamcoxon #alexjames #daverowntree #33rpm #recordcollection #vinylrecords

It's Consensual Piss, on some of that "only in Knoxville" type of good shit, playing in the @birdhouseknoxville stairwell for #bigassesfest.

#NowPlaying TOOTS & THE MAYTALS - "Funky Kingston" (1973, @islandrecords) ///// Here's some weekend lazy afternoon listening (when you can't find the "Harder They Come" soundtrack)! But I'm now glad I couldnt, cause this is eternal. I have to admit that John Denver cover comes out of nowhere, but still works, because Toots Hibbert and because John Denver. PICKITUP. Shout out to Larry Fulford, whose social media presence sorta inspired this post. ///// Top Tracks: 1. "Pressure Drop" (duh) 2. "Love is Gonna Let Me Down" 3. "In the Dark" ///// #tootsandthemaytals #rootsreggae #rocksteady #kingstonjamaica #reggae #ska #vinylcollection #funkykingston #pressuredrop #33rpm #vinyllovers #vinyl #reggaevinyl

Tbh I'd be more excited to read a book about just "Yuko and Hiro" than one about the whole 'The Great Escape.' #Blur #2AMthoughts 1 day ago
