Feels great to see folks still discovering this record 17 years later. Thanks, Ampwall!

🍰 YK-001 was released March 10, 2009 - that's today! Happy birthday to Uncle Skeleton's PANCHO CHUMLEY. Very grateful to Ross for the opportunity to release music and grateful to anyone that has paid attention the last 17 years.

Brought into existence by notes from a toy piano and with a title referring to the term for a *genuine* smile, the soaring synth pop of "A Duchenne smile" by Fetching Pails is today's #MirloMondays discovery. 🐦‍⬛ Out now via the consistently great @ykrecords.bsky.social. mirlo.space/fetching-pai...

Back in 2019, Bleary recorded a Q Session with Monkey Riot Recordings for "bug." It's a damn good performance. Full performance on YouTube, first 3 minutes below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT9X...

Being a music fan takes work in 2026! It’s enjoyable work but still just a bit of effort.

I stand by this! Metrics can be insightful but they shouldn’t carry as much weight as they do. Success is not determined solely by some analytics.
