Being part of a Tony Hawk video game soundtrack is probably the most punk-acceptable equivalent of a getting a GRAMMY. The Screaming Females’ single “Let Me In” can be heard on 2020’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2, a full-on remake of the first two games in the franchise that features most of the original iconic soundtrack alongside a new set of songs from various artists.

We live in a world where a high school student from the Five Towns in Long Island, New York can upload a song to the internet and become a famous rapper seemingly overnight. The path that Lil Tecca’s 2019 single “Ransom” took from its debut on a hip YouTube channel to peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart is the same basic map that millions of musicians try to follow, only to veer off-road or crash and burn out altogether.
We had a bit of rain last night, so this morning Hilbert got to jump on the fence¹ and pose for a beauty shot with a lovely background of puffy white clouds. Here's hoping the rest of the day is clear and brilliant too. ¹OK, fine, he didn't jump. I picked him up and put ...continue reading "Friday Cat Blogging – 22 April 2022"
