Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest. There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day. What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid. It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Ace early review of the new Telephone Numbers album from The Fire Note ❤️
"It’s warm, unguarded, and deeply human—a modern love letter to classic indie pop."
thefirenote.com/reviews/the-...

Lovely Telephone Numbers review from Rosy Overdrive:
"...Rubenstein is remarkable in how he manages to carve out his own signature style while giving so much of himself over to the towering jangle pop, college rock, and power pop that’s shaped the entire scene."
"Scarecrow II" is out tomorrow!

The Telephone Numbers "Scarecrow II" LP/CD The Telephone Numbers "Scarecrow II" LP/CD Links. Available on all popular platforms.

The Telephone Numbers' "Scarecrow II" is out Oct 10th! With a musical palette that takes in everything from The Byrds' rootsy jangle to power-pop to the classic swoon of bands like The Go-Betweens & Felt, and 100% ace tunes, it's a gem!

Collapse, by Vijunns 8 track album

New & Notable: The LA electronic producer parlays his visual arts background into soundscapes so vivid and immersive, they feel like simulated synesthesia.

The Scottish sibling duo dips into the most effervescent influences from the past, burrowing into the bright-eyed pop of The Primitives, the austerity of The Flatmates, and the sweet n’ sour bite of Shop Assistants. It’s an instant classic. bit.ly/42aTmgo
