Hey teem!
Completed on deadline last night which is exciting! Anyone else submit for the Piki Pitch?? Send me a text, let me know. If you did, bloody well done. Churning out a pitch like that during the height of a lockdown is hard lemme tell you. I gave up and let the original deadline slide past last week. But you know, sometimes life gives you a lockdown extension deadline and that’s all it takes.
Anyone, another quickie today- hope you dig what’s here!
Daily Album:
BLACK IN DEEP RED, 2014- Moses Sumney
Moses Sumney is just one of those artists you know. Every song is an emotional punch through the gut and out the other side.
This specific protest EP, the songs written after Mike Browns murderer was acquitted, released during a constant rising of police brutality, Black in Deep Red, 2014 is a heart-wrenching, jazzy, powerful sonic experience that, while only 10 minutes long, makes for an incredible lil listen.

THE OPENING THREE PAGES OF PAPER GIRLS- Paper Girls #1. w. Brian K Vaughn. a. Cliff Chiang. c. Matt Wilson. l. Jared K. Fletcher
I may do a proper write up on Paper Girls in the future, and why it’s one of the greatest indie sci-fi comics of all time, but for not I’ll leave you with the opening three pages, which are full of such wild, incredible imagery that leave you tantalized for whatever the hell is going on here.
Daily Pic Off My Phone:
Here’s a pic that I saved to my phone at one point that brought me joy.
Today we have a screenshot from Spongebob prequel series Kamp Koral where Spongebob is stuck in some corn. It’s funny cause they’re both yellow.

B’HOY BEARD OIL- The Bowery
This is good, good stuff. Keeps my face moist and smooth all day. Although I haven’t found the secret to straightening my beard so I look like ‘Nuckles the chef from Paddington 2 yet, this stuff keeps me from a dry, itchy beard which I absolutely despise. Big ups.
