Steve Vai will attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the World’s Largest Online Guitar Lesson!
I’m Not Getting Excited
But really, I am. This is from their 2020 album, Jump Rope Gazers.
Agent Elvis
So silly it could work? We’ll find out in March!
This ten episode, Netflix adult animation series from Sony Pictures Animation is an irreverent action comedy starring Matthew McConaughey as Elvis Presley and follows Elvis as he lives a double-life as a secret agent. The show was created by Priscilla Presley and John Eddie, and was developed by Co-Showrunners Mike Arnold and John Eddie, who also serve as Executive Producers along with Executive Producers Kevin Noel, Matthew McConaughey, Priscilla Presley, with Fletcher Moules serving as Co-Executive Producer and Seranie Manoogian as Producer. Jamie Salter, Corey Salter, and Marc Rosen with Authentic Brands Group also served as Executive Producers. Vancouver-based Titmouse served as the animation studio with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina serving as Executive Producers and Gary Ye as Supervising Director, Chris Thompson as Art Director, and Josue Sanchez as Editor. Robert Valley created original character designs, and Agent Elvis’ wardrobe was designed by John Varvatos. Music and original score was composed by Tyler Bates and Timothy Williams.
Incroyable!
Remember Yoyoka? She’s even better now! Watch as she effortlessly replicates Bonham’s Purdie Shuffle.
I Like It!
We’re playing with these guys in March at DKDC. Listening to Cathedral Ceilings’s’s new album on Spotify, I’m getting notes of fIREHOSE, early Soul Asylum, some Husker Du, and for this song, somebody I can’t put my finger on. Maybe you bastards can help.
Best Break-Up Song, College Years
An article about the late, great Rykodisc label sent me down the rabbit hole this morning and I arrived here. What a great song!
Confession Time

I got curious last summer about CREEM’s return as a quarterly and subscribed. The first issue felt like it was trying way too hard and I didn’t even read much of it. However! The second issue just arrived and I’m taking the time to check out some of the featured acts. It’s a lot of Gonerfest-type bands, but not all. Here’s a sampler …

Which reminds me, I’m overdue for a Glengarry Glen Ross re-screening.
Yes …
I’ll probably see it. Sigh.
Also, I got goosebumps when John Rhys-Davies showed up.
