Thursday, April 9th. 5pm - 7pm.
Having a friendly hang at Vinyl Tap in Nashville.
Not a show but friendly faces celebrating 20+ years of a great album, a great band and a new 2xLP.
Highly recommend the voiceover version. If you’re unfamiliar, Ryan’s voice is mesmerizing, a rare recorded treat.
I have mixed feels about Substack but very clear adoration for Ryan Norris (aka Coupler)
Fantastic piece here about the creative act of negation.. editing.. This, Not That.

Of course you can also see it on YouTube - why not go watch it twice?!

The Features started playing "God Save Rock n' Roll" as far back as 2000. It was recorded in 2003 but never released... until today!
26 years in the making and it's still an absolute banger. I'm so happy to play a small part in getting it out into the world, finally and officially.
Tomorrow.
A long awaited treat.

Found myself revisiting this YK release from 2015 a lot recently. It's instrumental and ambient but never background music. It's psychedelic, floaty and feels like zooming around the atmosphere.
I'm biased but it's great. Finally put it on Ampwall!

Good April's Fool for vinyl nerds

Lots of great performances in there. Go click around and find some enjoyment. You deserve it.
The Features

This was a very big deal at the time. Their "Thursday" performance wasn't released until a year after their session. I'm not sure why but it was definitely worth the wait.
And the Relatives

My favorite era of the band - despite being pre-YK! Hah!
Their cover of "The Ledge" with Caitlin Rose and Tristen is really delightful
Hotpipes

Also bringing a great cover - XTC's "Respectable Street" is always a treat to my ears
For full YK relevancy, there's great sessions form YK bands that were not YK bands at the time but are now! 😀
The Privates

Great cover of Paramore's "Misery Business" in there
From 2009-2010 there was an in-studio performance series called the Lake Fever Sessions. The website died a decade ago but I recently revived it!

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.

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:

Oooo, @ampwall.com as an iOS app now. Very handy for listening to my purchases but really nice for discovery. Consistently impressed with how much this team ships.

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.
👋 an interview… with me!
Go listen already!
New single from Bleary out today! "bug" is streaming everywhere and if you like a little shoegaze mixed with harmonies and melancholy, you're gonna love it.
In celebration, let's try out this @ampwall.com feature to giveaway some downloads of it:
