Episode one of Mr. Professor, written & directed by Dave Bluvband and Rob Stern has hit them computrons! Mr. Professor was featured in Dave and Rob's new show Too Many Guns, which debuted this past Monday @ the UCB Theatre. Friendship with these guys aside, it's one of the most promising sketch showcases I've seen in some time, and if it doesn't get a run I'll eat my hat.

Featuring Benjamin Ragheb, Anna Rubanova, & Amber Nelson, may you send this along to every corner of the internet you faithful readers you.



UPDATED: Oh man! And episode two- featuring twin Brett Whites- is now up @ UCBComedy.com too! Peep it.

To begin, sorry for the nothin' all week. Been a little too up on that Tumblr ish, which is worlds easier to maintain than this here as microblogging is largely built around the regurgitation of content. I don't say that as a slight- I adore Tumblr's interface, social functionality, and customization capabilities- it's just that I find myself in the odd position of trying to define what separates am.fm.pm's editorial voice (my own) from... my own voice. On a personal site, I'd talk about the same music and whatnot that I do here, but now that I've set up a personal place on the internet for all that, which exists for the sake of which? That is to say, I don't want to maintain two of the same blog.

I'm more writing this out for my own clarification than anything else. I think I'm going to keep this site strictly music/TV/media focused, and everything else will end up @ my own spot. In that spirit, expect posts today that have previously appeared elsewhere on the internet. Hooray!

Nice try fellas, but MY Brooklyn indie pop single is gonna have so many Johnny Cash references that the corresponding barbiturate habit is gonna seem as normal as a new haircut.

Plushgun's Pins and Panzers is available now from Tommy Boy.

I feel that as soon Major Lazer's "Hold The Line" hit, the backlash began- like the same dayglo crew that gobbled every Santi electro remix like so much dick was suddenly too cool for a little airhorn and Nina Sky. But that- for me at least- is where the whole Mad Decent op really shines: cranking out artist after artist after jam after jam that don't give a fuck about what 728x90 sneaker ad you have at the top of your blog. It's about the beat. It's about the party.

You can't dance and worry about looking cool at the same time.

Diplo and Switch have been tipping hats to their lo-tek dancehall forefathers for years now, but the high five boom of what may be their apex- June's Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do LP- will resonate in sunshine playlists for years to come. Ups to Hood Internet & Annie Mac.

Ahh, Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue. The beloved PSA that taught us all that if you steal money and take drugs, all of your favorite cartoon characters will come to life and talk you down.

(No joke, I've been looking for a copy of this for AGES.)

So, this is just about my favorite summer joy jam since The Pipettes' "Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me".

Keep an ear to ground for Generationals, a highly danceable duo out of New Orleans on tour this summer in support of their debut LP Con Law. Trotting dynamic hi fi pop that's respectful of it's elders but always looking forward, these boys are the the sound of cucumber martinis at dusk; a stiff summer cocktail that recalls a day well spent, yet reminds that the night (and the listener) is young as ever.

Con Law will be made available July 21st; Generationals' latest 7” When They Fight They Fight, b/w The Little Ones’ Madrugada Remix will hit brick & mortars this August via Park the Van.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

You’ll probably get to meet Bob Dylan.

Hilarious “One Headlight” bumper sticker.

Ever wonder what Bob Dylan’s house looks like? Wonder no more.

Can break up with any girl on 6th Avenue, even if your relationship is going great, no questions asked.

Compared to non Wallflowers, very high odds of receiving a personal voice mail message from one Mr. Bob Dylan.

Licence to laugh at actual wallflowers with impunity. After all, you know Bob Dylan.

Well, shit.

In the coming days, weeks, and months, you'll find better tributes to Michael Jackson than anything I can offer here, but here's one for the weekend. 45 minutes, compiled & mixed by Chambaland. Kinda rushed, so I'll pop the tracklist in the comments later. Pan's in Neverland.
