Egad. Din’s gone and made another lyric vid! We can barely keep up with him. Here’s our irreverent bit of reverence in celebration of The Age Of Total Crap (TAOTC)

A Return To Pods
From the title I am reminded of Derek Smalls, attempting to reenter his stage-pod in Spın̈al Tap, but nay! This is just me, A. Berkeley Cat (close associate of Eton Hogg) returning to the Berkeley Cat Records PodCATS.
Let’s try that again. Hi! After finishing my CONTENT album recently, I felt inspired yesterday morning to make Pods, Cats, Hats, and Mats, a new PodCATS episode in which among other items I am confronted by Artificial Ignorance bots demanding music made by hoomans. Acknowledgment to Jacque Lacey AKA Uncle Fun who minted the term, long before FaceCoin or BitFace and whole periods of Picasso excreted by compooters, and what is more, Uncle Fun didn’t resign to go on a media tour saying “whoopsie.”
It all makes sense. It’s important. I read it on a thing somewhere.
Hot Off The Presses!
Wait a minute.. there’s no presses..
BUT! There is a new single from Eric Din called Misinformed. The lead off track from Din’s upcoming album, it sets the stage for the rest of the CONTENT. It all makes sense. It’s important. We read it on a thing somewhere. Please share this content with your cats and hoomans. Thanks!
Matte Martin Paints A Self-Portrait!
Berkeley Cat Records is gleeful to announce the release of Matte Martin’s new Self-Portrait EP. A portrait of the artist as a young self, if you will. In Matte’s own words:
This is my first foray into a style I’ve been working on for the past year, combining traditional pop, my off-kilter rock style, and romantic classical music. It is a mix Frank Sinatra and Tears for Fears, with a little Wagner on top.
And as I shared in a recent mewsletter,
Harkening back to a time when people were nice to each other, Matte Martin’s latest offering, “SELF-PORTRAIT,” finds our young troubadour unmistakably in love. Remember love? It still happens to people. Musically expanding his palette to include lush string and horn arrangements, but still deeply committed to The Electric Guitar and rock band sensibilities, Martin plants his flag on a mountain of gentle cinematic beauty, built of both original and cover songs, which we are thrilled and proud to share with you now.
And it’s true. And here it is, via our beloved Bandcamp:
We do hope you enjoy, and stay warm and don’t get soggy in all this muck!
