Someone recently put me on to these two songs. Pretty good. They’ve been around for a while. I guess you know you’re old when bands have run their course when you first hear of them. Seems to be the trend with me recently (which means the last twenty years, more proof that I’m getting up there).
Netflix and Quarantine
I guess the world is closed at the moment. What’s your recommendation for stuff to binge on Netflix/Hulu/Prime?
The Unabomber doc on Netflix is good and only a few recommendations. The Michael Hutchence documentary was a little disappointing. Birth of the Cool about Miles Davis was good.
I’m on episode 3 of You and liking it so far.
What else ya got ye bastards… I’ll also accept book recommendations

We are living in crazy times. I recommend singing this song while washing your hands…

Favorite YouTube comment …
“Escalator to obscurity.”

The Best Memphis Punk Band You’ve Never Heard Of
Happy Friday, you bastards, you.
In 2012, the documentary I directed about the Antenna club and the vibrant music scene which sprang up around it premiered at the Indie Memphis Film Festival. It had a successful festival run, but a commercial release of Antenna has been repeatedly delayed by music rights issues. With the help of J.D. Reager, we managed to convince Bob Holmes, who had become something of a recluse, to do an interview for the film. For three hours, he regaled us with some of the wildest Memphis music stories I have ever had the good fortune to hear. In order to honor the passing of a Memphis musical genius, I have uploaded the Modifiers segments from Antenna to YouTube and present it here for the first time since 2012.
Thus speaketh documentary director Chris McCoy.
