Feels great to see folks still discovering this record 17 years later. Thanks, Ampwall!
🍰 YK-001 was released March 10, 2009 - that's today! Happy birthday to Uncle Skeleton's PANCHO CHUMLEY.
Very grateful to Ross for the opportunity to release music and grateful to anyone that has paid attention the last 17 years.
Brought into existence by notes from a toy piano and with a title referring to the term for a *genuine* smile, the soaring synth pop of "A Duchenne smile" by Fetching Pails is today's #MirloMondays discovery. 🐦⬛
Out now via the consistently great @ykrecords.bsky.social.

Back in 2019, Bleary recorded a Q Session with Monkey Riot Recordings for "bug." It's a damn good performance.
Full performance on YouTube, first 3 minutes below:

Being a music fan takes work in 2026! It’s enjoyable work but still just a bit of effort.
I stand by this! Metrics can be insightful but they shouldn’t carry as much weight as they do.
Success is not determined solely by some analytics.
👋 an interview… with me!
Go listen already!

The track began with an unexpected collab; a melody kicked out on a Fisher Price piano by Jill Townsend's own four-month-old daughter! The end result is bright and happy; uncharacteristic but a welcome change.
The title refers to a distinction in smiling; a Duchenne smile is always genuine.
Fetching Pails unveils "A Duchenne Smile" - a brand new track + video available everywhere today!

If you're tired of hearing the same old holiday tunes and need to spice up your winter playlist, I highly recommend @ykrecords.bsky.social Holiday Sampler 2024!

🎄It’s YK Holiday time!
Pick up a copy to support CASA Nashville and add to your streaming for year round enjoyment

@spencercullum.bsky.social is it gravy or is it syrup!?! Inquiring minds want to know!
I think that's gravy on the ham, btw. Syrup would probably be tastier. =P
I did the layout for the packaging (not the drawing) and really hope more people discover the record! It's so good.
Heeeey, Echolalia! Lots of folks on that record from Nashville. An excellent haul you got there.
ZOOK is featured on the homepage of JAM.coop!
What's JAM.coop? It's an alternative music distribution platform ala Bandcamp, Ampwall, Subvert, et al. It's great to see what they're building and follow the progress.
