My child is screaming at the tv in anger finding out C-3PO made it to the Star Wars sequels. Does not find the red arm funny.
This movie is like if Hitchcock loved vomit.
Price Master anniversary recap for those who missed it: youtu.be/MiKkIK8h7As?...
When people talk about mid-00s Millenial optimism or twee fashion they always leave out the matching capes. Here we are opening for Mates of State in 2005 in Denton.
Mixed these two jars up tonight in the kids cereal.
It was an amazing community gathering moment

Here are the posters for the event, pre-event market, and post event after party. π π
There are more details to all of this but I think Iβm done sharing for now! Thank you for following along!
My album that Iβm self releasing later this year (Bravest Neighbor) is themed around courage and community (in a very non-bumper sticker type of way, I swear) constructing this thing from the ground up has really boosted my own courage to awkwardly put myself into my community to make it better.
I grew up driving to Denton for weird events like this and in an age where everything is too expensive and requires an rsvp app (with a service fee) Iβd like to inspire my locals to just organically make offbeat things happen. Invite me! I want to go. I want to live in this kind of city.
Iβm trying to let everyone who wants be apart of this & remain true to my intentions about not overshadowing the original art. Invited all musicians who want to bring instruments and play the song. I really want this to be a community event and special one off memory like the 2001 yard sale.
Amazingly my videos summarizing all of this mess have gotten a good amount of views prompting collaboration with the original Pricemaster team, local businesses, university spirit team and even the city of Denton itself. It appears we have a big public party brewing. Iβm getting many media requests.
the real momentum driver of this project is that the 25th Anniversary of the original event was rapidly approaching. A few artist friends and I decided we should make a goofy public gathering, play the song and pay tribute. Even though itβs a Tuesday evening in Feb and most people wouldnβt make it.
Mathew is also a collaborator with the Mountain Goats and engineered their latest album. I ask him to mix and master my song that has little nods to their song about Denton and combine Denton, TX pop-culture elements while still being its own thing (I hope!)
and yet, the idea of a musical tribute to the pricemaster has remained a sticky note idea on my wall for many years. It wasnβt until I saw my friend and frequent musical collaborator Matthew Barnhart in the background of the video at 2:14 that I felt I had a personal connection.
Iβve know about this since 2012 and have been reluctant about writing about this as itβs another group (the 2001 fasthouse) piece of performance art. I donβt want to take away or take credit or too much attention away from the original piece. I told all the living members this as Iβve met them.
Original video is a masterpiece. If you have time comb through it like the zapruder film and you will discover incredible tiny details: youtu.be/CUmmxW7Ksc8?...
The PriceMaster is a 2001 viral video of a cryptic yard sale host asking comically large amounts for bizarre items. It happened right down the street from me. I see it all the time and I follow the creative practice of writing about things outside my door.
I released a goofy song about the Pricemaster to warm up the internet before my album comes out later this year. In typical Fishboy fashion there are too many layers to this: youtu.be/zpfhKMNdv80
New Fishboy song today! Yofishboy.bandcamp.com the best is yet to come. β€οΈ
Oof itβs been a week of ice. But technically it only fell for one day.
New song tomorrow! I tried to take my own promo photo in the snow and my head got too cold.
Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the PriceMaster next month in Denton!
Mixing down to tape!
My favorite part of the Polyphonic Spree Christmas show was when this guy came out and taught us about possums.
