Perfect single for the dog-days of summer from M.E. Nezke. Imagine Beck paying homage to Lipps Inc.'s Funkytown with special appearances by a wah-wah pedal and a triangle... 👏
Also: the petition for a 12-19min remix of the track starts here 🗳️

Musician Matthew sweet smiles and looks at the camera with his arm extended and hand miming the motion of turning up the volume while the caption reads: "don't be afraid to play it loud!"

Feeling a small bit responsible for the @bluejays.com win tonight on account of posting these custom ⚾️ card design ideas—inspired by Barger’s play and nickname—to the ‘gram earlier today 😜

Still working on moving my personal newsletter from S*bstack to Squarespace. Once the archives are shifted—and I've got a few campaigns published—it'll then be time to move The Localist too! 👏
Any Squarespace users here have any tips/tricks to keep in mind while I'm at it?
In other/related(?) news, my buddy's marriage broke down and he almost had to move in with a bunch of University students 😱...Still reeling from the scare, he channelled the vibes into this "Sugar Ray-meets-Sheryl Crow" jam: open.spotify.com/track/03ImBi...
