Uploading this again bc the last version of this post flopped terribly hard 😒 (it literally didn't show up in the search results a lot), but here is one of my instant favorite finds!!!
Title: Rock My Motorboat
Artist/s: Cast of Smosh (Angela Giarratana, Chanse McCrary, Damien Haas)
Performed during the Smosh Sleepover Live! stream
Note: Similar to The Second Reason for Christmas, I found it while I was deeply searching for any rare Smosh content (don't ask me where I got it, I might be at risk of losing my Smoshtastic membership)
You! Internalize that you do not always need to "improve your art/craft" now! It's great to learn and develop your skills, but you do not need to come from a place of hating where you are now! You certainly do not need to force yourself to improve if it is coming in between you and enjoying the things you do. Improvement for improvements sake does not have to be the only goal, nor the only one that "should matter"
You are allowed to have motifs, enjoyment, ameturism, and "less skill." Kill and devour the capitalist in your head that dictates that you must always improve for everybody else's sake and your "productivity."

My Passion Is Improvising: An Interview with Timothy Simmons — and Friends!

The plan all along was to follow it up with an album of collaborations building upon the original tracks that he had recorded.

Funny story from when I went to see a beetlejuice the musical production last August with my girlfriend at the time
It was a REALLY GOOD FUCKING PERFORMANCE and the show was wrapping up, Y’know. It was in the middle of one of the scenes after beetlejuice rides in on the soul worm in his cute little cowboy outfit, and right after beetlejuice started saying his goodbyes, someone in the audience yelled down “CAN WE GET A YEE HAW?”
The everyone on stage froze and the audience lost it. Beetlejuice looked at the audience and was like “…a Yee haw??”
Then everyone started cheering and telling him to do it, so, being the theatre kid that he is, beetlejuice walks down center, poses with Juno’s leg like a rich man would with a cane and shouts “YEE HAW!”
The audience loses it again and starts applauding.
Then later as beetlejuice is taking his leave through the door to the netherworld, he looks back at the audience and goes “AND YEE FUCKING HAW!” Then leaves.
