There is one crucial card I feel that must be tacked on to the list of Eno's Oblique Strategies: "Trap yourself in a greenroom between soundcheck and showtime...now await insanity, results, or both". Time and time again our band finds itself in this state of limbo, but one of my favorite new greenroom pastimes is commandeering the Spotify lyrics page of any song and turning into a chaotic Akai sampler. You essentially just need to click on the lyrics wherever on the song page and it will play the song at that exact point...feel free to get real wild with it and start doing 16th note taps on the lyrics all over the place lol...You'll soon realize that you can basically become a Kirkland's version of Fred Again overnight. I do feel like this technique is gonna catch on lol...you heard it here first!

when ur friend is playing some niche rhythms on the aux - hop on that spotify jam and queue Yes by LMFAO 8 times in a row without being caught. perfect for long car rides. some other good song options - Rock Lobster by B-52’s, The Fellowship of the Ring audio book narrated by Andy Serkis, and anything Gracie Abrams

It’s like capturing a Pokémon. There is not much control or insularity in this world but when that song ends and the next one plays, there is nothing like the rush of stealing a new piece of sound to keep as your own 🫶

I hear a random banger and I snag it.
Now I have a full playlist of stolen moments

The best money you’ll ever spend at Spencer’s gifts. This toy cannon blasts invisible vortex air rings across the room - can travel hundreds of feet unnoticed. Strong enough to knock over empty soda cans. Great for pranking and general trolling of friends/bandmates/etc…I bought one for KJ @theionpack for his bday back in October. I’m awaiting his personal review.PRO TIP: Hotbox the cannon chamber with Axe body spray and then launch an airball at someone unsuspectingly…works like a dream :)

I’m a big fan of utilitarian Scandinavian work wear clothing. The chunky shoes and rubber color blocking is the move…and no one did it better than the original Lego Man. He’s glossy, square, and curvy in all the right ways. He’s the ultimate silhouette. My fashion benchmark.
