Monday Communique: Stream Launch/Kino Night/Cassette Update (Patreon)

We spent the last few weeks learning OBS and optimizing a gaming laptop that looks like a glowing can of Monster Ultra-Red which means...we're ready to stream.  On Friday at 8pm EST we'll be screening one of my favorite Yugoslavian films: "Vsak Otrok Je Lep, Ko Se Rodi" (Every Child Is Born Beautiful).  It's a great mix of raw documentary and scripted weirdness that tell the story of a young man who moves from Sarajevo to Ljubljana and starts a punk band.  One of the rare things about this film is the way it captures a generation of Yugoslavian youth at a pivotal moment in the history of the country...these are the sons and daughters of the women and men who fought to establish a new state and they're captured here facing down the same creeping end of history/no future/austerity dystopia that their counterparts in "the West" were simultaneously railing against.  Plus the music is fantastic.  Come for the punk rock, stay for Devojkas hot takes on Slovenia.  Ask us anything in the comments section.  We'll post the link a few hours before we go live.  We've been looking forward to getting regular streaming up and running and so far, I think the approach is going to be "Haunted Public Access TV Channel".  Tune in....

ALSO:

Cassette update! The Radiant Dusk cassettes are formatted and now in production. Without  giving too much away...the packaging is WILD.  We'll give you manufacturing photo updates as they get assembled.  

We've got your monthly songs lined up for Wednesday release.

These last few weeks have been busy, filled with creative work and production in the face of the ambient specter of The New Plague Days and Elastic Time. This work has been a joy and a ballast against brain jail.  We can't thank you all enough for supporting this work and giving us this space to share our art with you.  We hope you're all safe, healthy and as happy as you can be.  See you on Friday night.
