Stay safe, bastards.
Isn’t Memphis near Missipipi?
The Official Social Distancing Anthem
We are living in crazy times. I recommend singing this song while washing your hands…
Real Arnold, Fake Arnold

Just silly enough to engage me.
Shit
Max von Sydow made it all the way to 90.

This is either the best or worst thing you’ll see all day.
Favorite YouTube comment …

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.

Oh You Like This Version Better?
As eagerly anticipated by all bastards, the 65% more cheerful Let It Be will probably be released this spring.
With raw material comprising 55 hours of video and 140 hours of audio, there are enough untapped resources to fuel any director’s vision. Seriously: if Peter Jackson gets too WETI-Fx’y or slo-mo happy hobbit, we need to see a Wes Anderson or Christopher Nolan or David Lynch Let It Be.
