“It’s gonna be May” memes disappearing from the collective consciousness is a recession indicator.
2026 NG Calendars have officially SOLD OUT. That means the year is over, and everyone can go back to bed for a few more hours and see if that fixes anything.
A slider in general order of @iamconduit ’s year. The natural born hustler experienced a pretty big setback, starting this birth year with an emergency surgery and facing down the barrel of a year without a proper bike ride. That was in April, and by October he was mountain biking.
Mans can’t be stopped, no matter what comes his way — and this year was a lot. Even while bedridden, he still found ways to keep creating, keep printing (literally don’t know how he did that), and keep pushing for our band and our business to not miss a beat. I don’t know how the hell he does it, but I’m forever astounded by his drive and determination.
Love you Derek, love forever and always, and love for the empire we’ve built together. Another wasted day, another wasted year, another river of tears. Your time has not yet come!

New work for @nadezhdacult
POPPY is a song about the shared experience of not being fed by the garden that grew you, but delves more specifically into the pain of feeling shut out just as you finally break through, reaching the sun before the soil.
The Australian term “tall poppy syndrome” describes the ostracizing of those who achieve public success, being met with criticism and resentment, and getting cut down in favor of a false equality. In Japan, a similar term is “the nail that sticks up gets hammered down,” both themes we’ve explored through this song.
We wanted to invoke a nostalgic, if niche, point of reference going along with the song’s theme of family dynamics. We were inspired by vintage Corningware / Corelle dishes and made a little twist on the Blue Cornflower design — using poppies in place of the traditional floral pattern, as well as the semi-blown out plate backstamp for the type treatment.
All these elements easily adaptable to album art, merch and video overlays.
