I feel like I've been overly negative about some things lately, and I apologize for that. Had such a refreshing visit with a dear friend and it's putting some things into perspective for me. I will continue to aim to be a force for coming together instead of driving apart! 🙂

Day 4) I mean, it's the freaking Pretenders. Do I need to say more?! This may actually be the only holiday song I have on #vinyl. I'll genuinely listen any time of year.

Apparently, this is what happens when I'm up early and try to do research before work. -YAWN- Good meowning, everyone.
Oh, and it might take some time for the next KFM video I'm planning. I'm diving into research for topics I've never covered before. Stay tuned...

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

12 Days of 'Holiday' Songs
Day 3) I was introduced to The Year Without A Santa Claus in my 20s by my then BF. A delightfully kitschy Rankin/Bass romp that you can enjoy as is or have some drinks and riff on it. I think this is the best cover from its seminal song.

2013: I mean, I like the show, but I don't want to call myself a Brony.
2014: Brony for life! Say the word loud and proud.
2022: I can't do this anymore, but I'm still a Brony.
2025: It's dead to me. I can't even watch or listen to fan music without going into a spiral of hopelessness. 😔

Cats on a train?! Sharing this so I remember once my PC is built.
$1 million for a Game Awards Trailer is a way over my budget.
So, I'm going to post my Cat train idle game here for free and reposting is free as well!
What a great deal!

Day 2) A song written while spending Christmas Day alone - an experience I've now had multiple times. I do my personal celebrating on Yule & would reserve Christmas for family, but this helps me through when family won't even reach out anymore.

Now that I don't feel like death, I wanted to mention how much I enjoyed Siamese Dreamers on Friday. Got to talk with the lead singer a bit and he was super chill. If you're in the Mid-Atlantic & get a chance to see them, I recommend it!

AKA the ones that working retail hasn't ruined for me.
Day 1) I love all of the Vince Guaraldi Trio music from the Peanuts, but this one is always guaranteed to put a smile on my face - even when I'm feeling bah humbug.

This. I will do compliment threads a different day. I'm barely coherent enough to post this.
Only about 3 hours sleep until I woke up slightly hungover and having a dairy attack that's still going on hours later. Feeling like hot garbage. Can we please stop putting dairy in effing everything - it's literally killing me. We'll return to your usual silly boy posting once I'm recovered.

Resharing this in honour of tonight's show!
Surprise, I did have a plan for this! I started making these to get more comfortable in front of the camera again, so I'm going to keep doing them - Google be damned. @greyscaleljh.bsky.social suggested #70, so today we'll be looking at Nirvana's In Utero. More to come.

Going to a grunge show tonight...only took me about 30 years to get to one 🤪 I'd love to wear my ripped jeans to the show, but walking home in below freezing temps does not sound like a good idea lol My music shuffle did play a cover of Heart Shaped Box this morning, so the energy's already there!

I never claimed to be your savior
I said I had a dirty mouth
Stop analyzing my behavior
If you're too dumb to work it out
I've got to keep myself together
You know I hate to disappoint
A masochistic lamb to slaughter
Maybe you miss the point?
