An episode without a plan! Up the creek without a paddle! Flying without wings! Struggling with metaphors all over the place. We’re back with an existential question, a litany of good things to enjoy and a rundown on music you should be partaking in – much of it from YK Records. — Jessica Breanne – Electric Heart https://ykrecords.com/releases/electric-heart Little Joys Podcast with Jessica Breanne https://littlejoys.jessicabreanne.com/ Hott Minute https://hottminute.com/ Hott Minute New Episode https://hottminute.com/episodes/nascar-long-weekend-you-could-be-a-pit-lizard/ Hott Minute themes https://soundcloud.com/weownthistown/sets/hott-minute-themes General Trust on Twitch https://twitch.com/general_trust Weather Rothko http://rothko.joonas.wtf/ Tower Defense – Fit for Purpose / Artless Hands https://ykrecords.com/releases/fit-for-purpose Urban Heat Islands https://science.nasa.gov/kids/earth/what-is-an-urban-heat-island/ Chris Crofton Advice King: Are Streaming Services Unfair to Musicians? “Artles Hands” inspiration https://www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/advice-king-are-streaming-services-unfair-to-musicians/article_fcebfb14-4240-11ec-967e-3398419a037f.html Talking with Hands / Telefone – The Shit EP http://ykrecords.com/releases/the-shit General Trust – PLANS 2 https://ykrecords.com/releases/plans-2 Bleary – Little Brain https://ykrecords.com/releases/little-brain Swimming Sisters – Latest Hits, Vol 1 https://swimmingsisters.bandcamp.com/album/latest-hits-vol-1 Oscar Lindsey – Glitter https://oscarlindsey.bandcamp.com/album/glitter Theme song and episode music by Mac Burrus.

Four quick bites and a bit of an entree here; maybe something fast casual but not quite a proper sit down dinner. The metaphor is really reaching there but this one has some rapid fire updates about Infinite Limb, Bleary, General Trust, The Features and a few more morsels. There’s music, there’s background insight, there’s announcements.. all under 30 minutes. — Meet Infinite Limb http://instagram.com/infintelimb Cloudmouth videos https://cloudmouthmusic.com/ Ambient Sundays https://www.instagram.com/ambient_sundays/ Nashville Record Store Day 2026 https://www.instagram.com/p/DW4hdLOiUtv/ Bleary Little Brain pre-order LP + digital https://ykrecords.com/releases/little-brain Bleary on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bblearyy General Trust – GT1 second run cassettes https://ykrecords.com/releases/gt1 General Trust on Instagram http://instagram.com/general_trust General Trust on Bluesky (JLP) https://bsky.app/profile/jlp.systems The Features – The Mahaffey Sessions 1999 https://ykrecords.com/releases/the-mahaffey-sessions-1999 The Features – Some Kind of Salvation (2023) https://thefeatures.bandcamp.com/album/some-kind-of-salvation-2023-remaster The Features – Exhibit A (Original Sweet Tea Mix) https://thefeatures.bandcamp.com/album/exhibit-a-original-sweet-tea-mix The Features “God Save Rock n Roll” video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS4AEpmv6lk Major Label Debut with Bill Baird https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-team-movie-monster-with-bill-baird/id1774552470?i=1000759513909 Sound Team https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_m8YUuXu8KWyeYiwVWjXU6m3G0AZPWgqvU Bill Baird https://billbaird.bandcamp.com/ TV Torso https://tvtorso.bandcamp.com/album/clear-lake-strangler Theme song and episode music by Mac Burrus.

After quitting Spotify, I found myself struggling with some of the missing bells and whistles of my new streaming platform, YouTube Music. Instead of endlessly griping about it, I did something about it! Join me deep in the goop of art, music and technology as I talk about why I built YewTube; a tool to make YouTube Music Embeds look nice. — Spotify Bundle drops Royalty Rate https://www.musicinafrica.net/magazine/spotify-end-access-basic-music-only-plan-subscribers-who-cancel YK Artist Playlists https://ykrecords.com/playlists YewTube: Better Youtube Music Embeds https://yt.ykworld.show/ Bleary “foyer” + Little Brain pre-order https://ykrecords.com/releases/little-brain General Trust https://generaltrust.website/ YK Records Mailing List https://ykrecords.com/list The Prudish Few – The Eagle Has Left the Building https://ykrecords.com/releases/the-eagle-has-left-the-building Theme song and episode music by Mac Burrus.

I don’t wanna be that guy that says “hey, listen to my new podcast!” and then two months pass between episodes. Nobody wants that! The reality is, it’s been two months since our last episode with Alex Mojaverian and I’m embodying that guy! All we can do is move forward. Here’s my proof of life. I’m here! I love this show and have so many ideas to get out there. Thanks for staying tuned in.

In October of 2024, yk Records released Moment of Bleakness, the debut EP from Trash Man. A year later, we released the second EP Cool Until It’s Not. Both are quick bursts of rock music seeped in existential ponderings. They somehow manage to be extremely fun and also introspectively weighty about our time on this big rock. To dig further into this, Alex Mojaverian (Trash Man himself) sat down to talk about his musical history, how Trash Man came to be, how motivating the thought of Death can be and many other lighthearted topics like aliens, ghosts, witches and the crushing forces of capitalism! Seriously tho, the conversation reflects Trash Man’s music – it is a good time that doesn’t shy away from hard topics but somehow, miraculously, doesn’t feel like a bummer. — Trash Man Official Site https://trashman.online Jenni Mojaverian on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jennimojwrites/ Hard Launch by Jenni Mojaverian https://www.novelettebooksellers.com/product-page/hard-launch-may-3 Trash Man – Moment of Bleakness https://ykrecords.com/releases/moment-of-bleakness Trash Man – Cool Until It’s Not https://ykrecords.com/releases/cool-until-its-not Trash Man – Cool Until It’s Not Demos https://trashman.online/cool-until-its-not-demos Sad Baxter https://sadbaxter.bandcamp.com/ Bill Eberle https://billeberle.bandcamp.com/ Bleary http://bleary.bandcamp.com/ Ranch Ghost https://boombox.nashvillepubliclibrary.org/artists/ranch-ghost Steve Albini ‘Fluffy’ Coffee https://www.mashed.com/1580426/fluffy-coffee-steve-albini-drank-studio/ Theme song and episode music by Mac Burrus.
