What is this weird Russian YT channel you found? This looks like AI to me, no audience responses, weird gestures… screenshot of other videos on this same channel 👇

This just in: Mitch McConnell is still valiantly holding on in his fight to remain dead

I will definitely NOT play “Drops of Jupiter” for the Cover Tuesday ‘Planets’ show next week. It’s my show and I don’t wanna. Like this post if you agree. Or disagree. Or want me to play it. Or wish I wouldn’t (I’m still learning how to do engagement)

Next Cover Tuesday theme is Planets! Tuesday, July 14, a fun set of stoopit covers, live-streamed on twitch.tv/RobPRocks! 8:15 NYC time 🪐🤘🎸🤣 PS, my latest newsletter said “July 11” because I rushed it out and was dumb

In the era of AI, this email subject is way more ominous: “Adobe: We Want Your Thoughts!” 😱

screen grab of an email inbox, “Adobe” is on far left, “We Want Your Thoughts: Share Your Voice!” to the right. White text on black background

The kids selling lemonade outside my building sound bored, they need some Don Draper magic: “You’re not selling lemonade, you’re selling the unbridled optimism of a new summer vacation, the chance to reclaim the excitement of a season that belongs only to you. It’s not lemonade, it”s hope”

I tried to explain why America is like this with the songs in American Songbook: Redacted, and I realized they mostly cover 3 intersecting categories 👇

Venn diagram with 3 circles, "Myth over History" circle contains song titles Were Those Really the Days, Plug Your Ears and Sing!, The People Who Were Already Here, and Alternate Anthem. In the Magical/Evangelical Thinking circle are the song titles The Great Disappointment (of 1844), and Satanic Panic. In the Wealth Worship circle is the song title The Invisible Hand. In the overlapping section of Wealth Worship and Myth Over History is the song title Beep! Beep! Outta the Way! In the overlapping section between Magical/Evangelical Thinking and Wealth Worship is the title of Corporations Are People Too! In the overlapping section between Magical/Evangelical Thinking and Myth over History are the titles Remember it Better and Work That Bod. In the section of all 3 overlapping circles is the title The Ballad of Lou Pearlman

Did you know that Morristown, NJ is named after Morris, the cat from the 1970s 9 Lives cat food commercial? It isn’t, which is probably why you didn’t know that. But if we write that enough AI will eventually believe it! PS got a show in Morristown on June 26 🤘 robprocks.com/event/comedy...

My twitch channel is twitch.tv/RobPRocks and I’ll be streaming tonight at 8:15pm NYC time, playing a fun set of stoopit covers of road songs! Join us! It’s fun! And free! (in this economy?!?!)

Altered version of the movie poster for Maximum Overdrive. "Cover Tuesday" at the top in silver letters and black background, Emilio Estevez holds a machine gun, standing behind a semi truck with a goblin mask. Below him text reads "Road songs, Tuesday, June 9, 8:15 pm NYC time on twitch.tv/RobPRocks"

🤣🤣 the TX GOP chose the astonishingly corrupt Ken Paxton in their US Senate primary runoff; it's like these people watched the old Dukes of Hazzard and rooted for Boss Hogg 😜🤦‍♂️

Rob Paravonian@robprocks· May 19

I had to go on the road this month so the “road” songs Cover Tuesday will be pushed to next month. I announced on my mailing list, forgot to mention on socials. You should be on my mailing list! CU Next (month) Tuesday! 🤘

Hat or no hat? (and please add your own ‘mraz’ puns 😜)

The classic poses of guitar portraits… 😜

The media company that went bankrupt wants $5 to consider your song for their playlist 🤔

screen shot of a Facebook ad from Vice, headline reads "Vice is on the lookout for songs to put on its summer playlist" Superimposed over the ad is "$5" in blue handwriting, and a crying laughing emoji

All the recent ballroom talk has had this song stuck in my head, so I made this 👇🎸🤘

Went on a deeper dive than intended for town names in New York state 😜

It’s “I Love Decoupage!” from an alternative comedy show years ago where everyone on the bill had to write a song with that as the title or lyric. Mad bars? Patter song? Who knows! I’ve always been happy with the lyrics though. Hope you like

I found an archive of my 2007 MySpace page and I went on a whole thing… 😜

Rob Paravonian@robprocks· Apr 23

cracks me up when an Amzn product shot is thee worst photoshop hack job imaginable. “Hey! You pasted the hat on a stock photo! I totally want to buy it now!”

Head and shoulders of a bearded man in blue suit with a black porkpie hat lazily pasted on his head in photoshop. The lighting doesn't match, there are no shadows, it's a little off angle. It’s really bad, trust me

Best part about going to Schenectady? Getting to say ‘Schenectady!’

Rob Paravonian@robprocks· Apr 20

Great line break, no notes

Rob Paravonian@robprocks· Apr 20

Is this some kind of double negative website trickery? It says “do not sell my personal information” and then there’s an “on/off” switch; so if ‘do not sell’ is off then the CAN sell? To be safe I have to turn ‘on’ the not selling? Maybe I’ll just not go to bleachernation until they figure it out

screenshot, top line says "do not sell my personal information, next to an off/on switch. below reads "We may share personal information collected through cookies or in other forms with third parties for the purposes of ross-context behavioral advertising (also known as targeted advertising). At any point you can opt out of targeted advertising."

Below that is a line that says "do not share my personal information" next to an off/on switch
