Also pulled music from old projects (such as Ashes of Denial) from BC as well.

All of my active bands are still available on major streaming plats, as I explore other direct digital sales options. Might end up creating a label and going back to Bandzoogle and just hosting my own site. We'll see.

So yea, that was my night. Watched a neighbor's house burn down and nearly had my property go up in flames because 'Murica or whatever.

"Live and Let Live" stopped being a thing when I was putting out embers on my land and was literal moments from having to evacuate my kid and dogs because of stupid, drunk people playing with cheap explosives in suboptimal conditions.

I used to love fireworks and had no problem with ppl setting them off.

It's slowly gotten more tiresome and worrisome over the years, as I now have dogs that hate them and neighbors that get more reckless, with a lot of close calls. But still, w/e.

Tonight, though, was the breaking point for me.

By a massive stroke of luck, it started pouring rain within minutes of the embers reaching our land/house. And we also had pretty quick LEO/Fire response.

But a growing resentment over the years just evolved into actually being fucking pissed off.

And as always, the little guys (like me) feel it first and worst.

Fuck this clown show of an administration.

You can't obliterate tourism, wreck the economy, and send everything and everyone into chaos and expect no tangible consequences. You can't make people afraid (or unwilling) to travel (esp. internationally), and make others afraid to spend money in general...and expect everything to be okay.

And we wont even start on my thoughts when I popped the hood and gave the engine bay a glance. Glad I don't have to work on these fuckers.
