The First Khruangbin Song Ever Written: Happy August 12

The First Khruangbin Song Ever Written: Happy August 12

Merry May Ninth. Happy August 10. But August Twelve is the most special Khruangbin “holiday”:

The first song they wrote together as a band in 2010.

The first song on their self-released debut vinyl EP “เครื่องบิน” in 2011 with the title “Start, You, The End Starts Again”.

Debuted as “August Twelve”on their first album release “The Universe Smiles Upon You” in 2015.

Inspired “August 10” when the band listened to and learned to play “August Twelve” backwards!

3 Contemporary Artists That Are Keeping Paul McCartney Inspired

“On the same reimagined album, McCartney tapped Texas trio Khruangbin for “Pretty Boys”. They, like Fike, turned this song on its head, giving it a new spin. “[Khruangbin’s song ] which I love,” McCartney once said. “It’s like, ‘Wow!’ Listening to it in the evening at home, it turns the place into a disco!”
Like McCartney’s music, this band’s sound has killer bass tones and global references. Given this, it’s really no surprise McCartney has cited them as contemporary influences. Their inclusion on this star-studded redux album speaks volumes about their place in McCartney’s lineage.”

“Miracle Monopoly Cheating Kit”

For those of you who may be interested (from my post below with the parody “Life Sentence” Community Chest card), here is the full “Miracle Monopoly Cheating Kit” published in the May 1973 National Lampoon humor magazine. The original was published with the appropriate colors, card stock, graphics, and fonts that made it blend right in with the Monopoly game of the 1970’s. I still have my copy (and have resisted cutting out the various inserts although I am tempted to make a board with the various parts)!

…and read the text because it is a pretty funny concept and article regarding the cutthroat competitive nature of our favorite game.

Laura to appear on the new Meshell Ndegeocello duets album

Laura is listed for the Ja Rule cover “Always on Time” on the track list.

“As a multi-instrumentalist – bass being her primary instrument – songwriter, singer, producer, and conceptualist, Ndegeocello emits enough star power to light up the entire solar system. Nevertheless, on Synonym she surrounds herself with an array of guest artists that compose a whole new galaxy of gleaming talent including Cynthia Erivo, Cat Power, Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, Bill Callahan, Chris Thile, Nick Hakim, Robert Glasper, Madison Cunningham, Laura Lee (of Khruangbin), Lizz Wright, Emily King, Lianne La Havas, Moses Sumney, Destin Conrad, ANOHNI, WILLOW, Evann McIntosh, and Ink.”

Fuji Rock Festival ‘26 to be live-streamed on Prime

Khruangbin’s slot is Saturday 7/25 from 9:10pm to 10:40pm Japan Standard Time on the Green Stage as per the website.

I hope it does not apply to Khruangbin’s set but:

“Not all Artists will be live-streamed. Also, some Artists will only stream a portion of their performance, not the full show.”
