About 20 years ago the guy from Mount Eerie and the Microphones used to make these weird little comics and I’ve never forgotten them. The Dog Trouble one has always been my favorite but every McDonalds run I’ve ever made triggers the medium pepsi neuron.

David’s book of drawings and captions.
He passed five years ago today, so it felt like a good morning to take this off my shelf and flip through it.
This drawing made me smile >

any record will do - i‘ve been stuck on Snockgrass lately. he’s the wizard of whimsy, the king of quirk, a true hot dog. he can capture joy, melancholy, goof, and hopeless sadness in one verse, while almost exclusively employing simple language (aside from the occasional made up word)
if you’re up a little earlier than the rest of the city and need a soundtrack for your foggy morning commute, Doc Snock is your man. he lives in the PNW now but was a Village boy back in the day, probably bouncing around town with the likes of Van Ronk and other Greenwich legends
god bless Elwood Snock

The internet sucks ass for sharing nuanced ideas or having meaningful discourse, but it’s a wonderful tool for looking up the dumbest shit on Earth. I’ve been obsessed with “Smurfed Up” Eurodance for a while now. One of my faves of the genre is the German Smurfs (Die Schlümpfe) 1995 dance compilation Tekkno Ist Cool Vol. 1. It’s got iconic, high pitched, renditions of Cotton Eye Joe, Saturday Night, and No Limit, amongst various other Hi-NRG anthems. All in nasal Deutsch! I was extra shocked, not too long ago, to discover a variation on this record, also from 1995, by a sus, GREEN, Smurfs knock-off called Die Schlapse. The album’s called Let’s Go Tekkno. It offers basically the same covers but with a slightly different intonation and ‘tude. I don’t really know what’s going with ‘em but they do a wicked Cotton Eye Joe!

Fag Puddle with Candle, Shoe, and Flag, Salman Toor, 2022.
It’s at the Met. I only ended up moving because I could feel how bad the security guard needed me to.
