MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL: From Long Beach, California, SELF IMPROVEMENT is out with their second LP. Compared to 2022’s Visible Damage, this release dives further into the no wave realm, with slower tempos, sparser arrangements, and fewer heavy moments. If you like the slower parts of the CONTORTIONS, maybe mixed with a little ESG, then you’ll like SELF IMRPOVEMENT’s sound, which, in the end, doesn’t need comparison. Guitar riffs snake around beneath Jett Witchalls’s rich and compelling vocals, while bass and drums are lockstep throughout with an effective propulsion. The band also features a synth and drum machine, but they’re blended so well I can hardly tell, besides the obvious click track or one-off synth eccentricity. The overall feeling here is a skewed pleasantness, like a shaky and out-of-center photo of someone smiling. Witchalls’s vocals create this tension on a dime, coming in smoothly, then changing over a sour chord or drum clatter, as she sends the band into a diagonal spiral wherein you may cock your head to one side, intent to hear whatever’s coming next. Unique sound for the languid and perturbed.
Self Improvement returns with their second LP Syndrome —10 tracks packed with danceable bass lines, skittish R&B infused post-punk drums, excitable angular guitar riffs, and urgent political lyrics. This time around the band continues to develop their collaborative approach to songwriting and recording with producer and spiritual advisor Dylan Hadley (who played drums on the first record) helping to expand their sound with a range of textures and blips, beeps & noises—some provided by engineer Spencer Hartling as well. Within this environment various actors/characters move to the fore and recede—always in dialogue with each other. The lyrics deal with the contradictory expectations of “marriage age” women and the music itself creates just the sort of claustrophobic environment that heightens the theme of the song—driven home by Witchalls' vocals that express the sweeping range of roles that women are expected to perform. There is a similar dynamic on a track like “Scam”, where the instrumentation provides a steady march behind Witchalls' sermon-like indictment of contemporary culture. Or “Dissolved”, where the verse and chorus musically reflect the odd mix of elation and dejection that characterizes our contemporary political landscape creating a tonal embodiment of Witchalls' lines “Hope is coming / hope is near, they’re not coming / they’re not here”. On Syndrome, Self Improvement dances upon a pleasing tightrope between influences and their own distinctive identity, easily traversing the space between modern takes on Wire or No-Wave-y dissonance a la Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and invoking the radical sensibilities (both musically and otherwise) of Crass or X-Ray Spex along the way. A document of collective action, of collaboration in production, performance, and conception, Syndrome stands out from the ready-made and formulaic music that is the soundtrack to our current cultural decline. -Ben Michaelis

My dog's favorite
I have a 4 year old german shephard and this is her favorite ball. She often loses them and has to resort to a previous ball she used to play with, but when I line up several balls she chooses this one every time. When I tell her to search for her ball so we can go play she passes by all the other balls we have for her to look for this type. It has gotten so bad that I buy these in multiples because we play so much outside that she looses them and I almost have to order her to pick up an old ball when she can't find this one just so we can go outside. She loves to chew on this ball, I know that she could destroy it if she wanted to but she just likes to half bite on it. My dog loves this because the holes on each end make a whistle sound when you through it and she has become great at tracking it through the air via the whistle, I like it because it glows in the dark. So, in the early morning when she goes outside to the bathroom I charge the ball with a flashlight and I can watch her walk around the yard (we live out in the country and it is mostly dark all around us). Best ball for me and my dog.

Heavy chewer approved.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My pomsky will destroy a toy in minutes. Ropes, and the "indestructible" nylon type stuffs are no match for my furry shark. This ball has stood up to him like David. He loves the crunch and it is so much more tolerable than a squeaker. These will be a staple in his toy box - Chuckit toys are really the most durable dog toys I have found in three years.

Dogs love them
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 2)
Our dogs love these. What’s great is that you can add more plastic (like from water bottles) if the plastic starts to fall out from the center. If you have a chewer, though, these won’t last you long. Our shepherd mix loves these and then starts to pull the rubber apart the more she plays with it. Our other dogs treat it normally, though, and those ones last forever. They also get some decent height when bounced, and they make a unique whistling noise when thrown.
