Tire exploded, working from home. Got a monkey on my back.

Hey fellers! How yall doing?

I've been listening to This Heat, Talk Talk, Glenn Branca, and Bark Psychosis a lot this week. Among other experimental/art/no/post whatever stuff.
It's one of those great weeks of experiencing music that makes you think twice about what you're doing musically.
I've touched on this stuff here and there. But it's really coming together this time around.

I've been complemented on my bass playing and vocals by the bandmates recently. Still not practicing enough. But it's nice to hear that kind of sh*t.

Reviews of the new Muppet show make it sound pretty awful.

There's piles of episodes of the original Muppet Show on YouTube - I'd prefer to watch those.

Yeah, typical internet outrage. If your into old Muppets, don't bother. I enjoyed the change myself.
It does feel a bit like a rip off show with muppets. Nothing groundbreaking. There is potential.
Meet the Feelbes is the pinnacle of nasty adult humor mixed with muppets though.

By the way no a-hole tone is intended here.

Gas station food for breakfast, gonna pay for that later.

Get this, I'm designing marketing stuff for a guy who does solar power installations, basically a contractor.
He actually said, "I don't want any of the "green energy" nonsense on any of it", basically I have to redesign a whole shitload of stuff instead of go to the state fair with my wife and kids.
 
It's ok. The commercials are annoying. It's main pull it TV. Seinfeld and South Park with a decent Anime selection. The movies suck, but they do have a nice collection of Criterion releases.

No one has a really unique movie collection, they all more or less get the same stuff. Crackle is somewhat different, HBO and the other premiums have a few new or original flicks, but overall very similar offerings with slight differences mainly in TV content.

No a-hole tone detected. :) I'm the one being a muppet hipster.

It's gotten so bad I have been reduced to watching Once Upon a Time and The Zoo on Netflix instant.
