rest of the year
i dont want to do one-offs anymore. i want more bands. even if its a one-off we should rehearse for it, or at minimum talk about our values/share a meal. just cause the music is improvised, doesnt mean apathy is cool. let things take time. bands used to drop an album once every 3-5 years.

everyone ready for giving tuesday? in my weird corner of reality (npic and music) i get more emails on GT than black friday or cyber monday. time to miss everything important wading through spam, but this year many are absolutely going to use LLMs to write their campaigns. bracing for dreck impact.

speaking of purgatory (the venue), im playing drums in kissy noises there tomorrow (12/2). ellie & jamie write great songs and jem is an awesome bassist; these are some of the only
people who can convince me to
"rock out."

c*llen l*rde pharmacy is purgatory-adjacent (not the venue, the biblical place)

RIP to me not eating meat, 2010 - 2025. a good run. my body needs protein though.

practicing is very important, but i really don't like music that feels like "proof that they practiced" (this is not an indictment of technically demanding music, but of music where technical demand is the only draw).

CLEANSING your timeline with MY NEW SINGLE, check it out on platform a, platform b, and platform c (no platform d)! music is LIFE and JOY.

has anyone considered that the people they "respect" only for their musical/artistic ability, may in fact have absolutely dog shit ethics, social opinions, and politics? seeing a lot of conflation between the two. its like 16 year old obsessed with dudes in bands behavior frankly.

everybody ready for the wave of giving tuesday emails likely using an LLM to say shit like "your support is foundational to our mission"
November 25, 2025 at 5:52 PM

November 24, 2025 at 7:24 PM

the short term holiday sublets are so out of hand. what do you mean "im out of town for a week, sublet my room for 6 days"?? the era of letting friends crash has passed i guess.

we're in the era of people taking the side of instagram infographics over their own friends and peers. even worse: the friend or peer says something, they are dismissed, then their opinion is repeated by an IG infographic made in canva, and only then is it accepted and acted upon.

who wants to hear your expensive, amorphous sample packs when i can listen to thick steel chains rattling across wood and wire? or the sound of water being sucked down a drain?

whole lot of vultures on the decaying corpse of the "music industry"
