World Air Guitar Championships
Jacob Pinter, writing at NPR:
Great rock guitarists need great nicknames. There’s Slash, Slowhand and The Edge.
Meet a new one: Airistotle. No, that’s not a misspelling. The nom de rock belongs to Matt Burns, a waiter and world-class competitive air guitarist living in New York City. He decided to try air-rocking almost a decade ago when he saw the documentary Air Guitar Nation.
And:
But his creative niche is air guitar. Competitors generally use the same routine for a year, then create a new one in time for the start of a new air guitar season.
Burns’ creative process involves a couple of months of listening to pop-punk songs — he grew up with Green Day and Sum 41, he says — and narrowing it down to a song he likes. Then he crystallizes his performance routines with the help of a few friends.
You can watch all of the performances here. Today is better because I learned this exists.

Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett Talk With Rolling Stone
Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile sat down with Rolling Stone to talk about their upcoming collaborative album:
“It’s a scary process, taking a half-written song to someone,” Barnett says. “I didn’t want him to be like, ‘God, this sucks. What have I gotten myself into?'” But they hit it off immediately. “The vibes were strong,” says Vile. “We discovered we could finish things on the quick, like an outlaw country singer, or Neil Young.” Adds Barnett, “We were mucking around, eating pizza, and we had all these songs all of a sudden.”
The album, Lotta Sea Lice, will be out in October.
