Today's Golden Shoulders Fun Fact:
Just like you and your friends, the members of Golden Shoulders will occasionally send one another ''text messages,'' using sophisticated ''mobile phones'' and their own ''stupid fingers.''

For example, on this date in 2020, singer Brett Shady and songwriter Adam Kline had the following exchange:

Adam: You guys still have your cool tv/vcr combo?

Brett: Heck yes.

Adam: You want a bunch of Larry Sanders videocassettes? That belong to you?

Brett: I only have two words for you about that...

Brett: Hot.

Brett: and...

Brett: Dog.


Important Context: Brett had some episodes of the Larry Sanders Show on VHS tapes that fell into Adam's possession, and Adam saw fit to return them to their righful owner. But also, jeez, Brett, get with the times! DVDs, ever heard of them?!
Buddies!

It's 2026 now. That seems so futuristic. Like we should be communicating through computers by now or something.

You can see our tour dates in that little box down there to the right; if we're touring, please come see us and bring a thousand friends. And suggest to your friends who live in towns where you don't live that they come see us too. If we have fun on tours, we'll tour more often. We're simple people that way. Other ways too.

Our latest full-length album is called "Could This Be the End," and it was released on September 13th, 2019. It's got 14 songs, and it's as upbeat and peppy as the title suggests. It's available from your local record store, Bandcamp, the iTunes Music Store, the Amazon Music Store, Spotify, etc., etc. If you're looking for physical copies, this one is available as a CD and also an LP, and you can get those from our Bandcamp merch page. We hope you like it, on account of how long it took us to make it! Yikes. Ten years between albums, man. Unacceptable.

Really, if you want to listen to most of our music from the past 24 years, and we hope you do, you can get all of our recordings from the iTunes music store or on the popular Spotify music streaming service. Even the weird ones.

Questions and extravagant cash donations can be sent to adam@goldenshoulders.com. You can find us on the once-popular Facebook internet service, if you're into that. Feel free to find us there. Be good, please!

Regards,

Adam
