One of my favorite musicians (and friend) Chris Ballew, formerly of The Presidents of the United States of America (Peaches, Lump, etc), has been putting out amazing "pop cosmic" solo records for the last few years. His latest just dropped. Check it out! orcd.co/truthanddare - ThreadSky

Love the Presidents stuff. Thanks for the recommendation!

I was a huge fan of his original band, then fell in love all over again when my kid obsessed over Caspar Babypants. Thanks for the recommendation! The visuals he made for his bebe music should be seen by everyone because it's just so perfect. Here's a fave ❤️🦀❤️ https://youtu.be/g1UsyGu_udQ?si=hCsFoLpb8QBP2gbF

Love Caspar too. Check out all his new albums. I love the album Primitive God. And the song Troubles Behind is amazing.

My kids used to listen to a lot of the stuff he released as Caspar Babypants, so I will check this out

I’ve always liked The Presidents of the United States of America. Have you ever heard SUbSET, their collaboration with Sir Mix-a-Lot?

amandaknox.com•43 days ago

Yeah!

kevhalstead.bsky.social•43 days ago

Great stuff. I wish that the project had worked out.

"Love Everybody" is a fantastic album that should have gone bigger, thanks for sharing the link!

pacohelton03.bsky.social•43 days ago

Thanks for sharing! His voice is still exactly the same as I remember it from way back when even though the songs and music are completely different. I will definitely follow on Spotify and add to the rotation.

I will, thanks. I loved Presidents of the United States of America. I remember listening to them on the radio.

I still sing his Caspar Babypants songs even though my daughter is a teenager now!

It just keeps getting better!

♥️ I fit “peaches” into daily life regularly, eg, “going to my office, gonna eat a lot of peaches.”

I The Presidents perform in club in LA 1996 and they were awesome. They covered “Video Killed the Radio Star” and people went ballistic.

msanderssmith.bsky.social•43 days ago

Ooooh, I like that. Just listened to “Truth and Dare” and “Happily Haunted.” Is he going to tour?

amandaknox.com•43 days ago

He doesn't tour anymore, unfortunately.

Listening to this while I finish up my shift, really digging it. Gives me a "Beck from the '60s" vibe. New music is awesome, there is fantastic music in every decade.

amandaknox.com•43 days ago

Chris Ballew is pals with Beck. Check out his earlier albums from 2020 onward too. They're all great.

shadowselfca.bsky.social•43 days ago

I am not surprised, actually. That circle of musician friends has some amazing members, like Jason Falkner too (his next album has been almost finished for a decade!). Thanks for the suggestion, I shall check out the earlier stuff!
