Hits & Misc. #05: Overdubbed 🌈
It’s Time to Play the Music 🎶
I’ve got a newsletter in the works on mashups and remixes, but for this edition of Hits & Misc, we’re focusing on a related art form: the Overdub. Specifically, the Comedic Overdub. 🤪
To me, there’s nothing funnier than taking something from here and syncing it up with something from there. And the further away those two points are from each other, the better…especially if one of them is the Muppets.
BONUS:
The Holy Grail of any Overdub is probablyThe Dark Side of the Rainbow. For those unfamiliar: if you start Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon on the third roar of the MGM Lion at the start of The Wizard of Oz, you’re in for a transcendent experience as the new soundtrack “coincidentally” dances lockstep with the film. 🤯
If you haven’t experienced the phenomena before, I highly suggest carving out a night to do so this week. 🗓

The Localist 📬
2023 is shaping up to be another fun year for The Localist. I’ve already published newsletters about London’s Superb Owls, nachos, colours, and some events I’m looking forward to, and I’ve got a slew of other lists in the works to celebrate even more people and experiences that make this city home.

Mike Edel in Concert 🎤
We threw our first house show (in years) last week and thoroughly enjoyed having Mike Edel take over the living room for over an hour. He’s got his set paced perfectly, the banter down to an art, and a few surprises up his sleeve. If you get a chance to have him play your living room/backyard/whatever, you’re in for a treat.

Winter Spectacular ❄️✨
After a few years’ hiatus, London’s Winter Spectacular returns this weekend (Feb 17-19) and I’m stoked! From Friday’s dinner, to Saturday’s concert, to Sunday’s Punk Rock Fleamarket, the festival is poised to deliver three days of music, food, community and magic.
I had the pleasure of working with Savannah and the team on the event’s branding and couldn’t be more pleased with how the minimalist design played out with the sparkly/retro texture we brought it to life with. ✨
If you haven’t picked up tix yet, you can find ‘em here. 🎟
Wanna learn more about the festival first? Throw on a grey hoodie 😉 and check out the lastest from London’s Pretty Cool Podcast.
