Man, alive. Creatives in NYC/NJ consistently exist on another level w/ passion, curiosity, hustle + absence of tedious bullshit. Yay or nay, no time wasted: everyone's got options, shit to do & overall mission (and knows you do too). It's basic adulting but regular reciprocity feels like sorcery.

Hope all of you are doing well! BTW, my username here is now @poperratic.com to match main handles elsewhere. Have yourselves a good weekend!

A really fun show is coming up! Even if you're not in or near NYC, there's an option for anyone who loves catchy tunes and thought-provoking creative to support remotely—in return, you get cool merch and the live soundboard album.

Gig alert: Poperratic show in Manhattan in January. First NYC gig ever. Flyer + details coming soon. If you know reliable musicians seeking paid rock gig, I'm working to recruit full band lineup for the occasion (one immediate commitment secured so far). Musicianship valued above age or appearance.

I'm interested in that thing...where there's a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there's no sign that it's going to get any better, and that's the point when people quit. But some don't. – Robert Redford

First batch of CDs now available from UK. U.S. sources coming soon. I've retooled CD specs to eco-friendly versions that also reduce production and shipping costs, and allow more vinyl art crossover. Postponing cassettes; no cost-effective options with reliable production currently.

Many are learning basic math the hard way: You can keep voting poorly for people who are pro-profit, anti-labor, and anti-diversity. But since most raw materials & labor required for production & transport aren't local to you or are outsourced, you, your employers & suppliers will pay most dearly.

Just learned that Poperratic: Zero Hero has been nominated for an award at the Newark International Film Festival (Sept. 2-7). Not sure which award yet, but happy to hear it's being well-received there!

Our current vinyl supplier is in the UK, so LPs will technically be imports to U.S.. However, physical music releases are classified as "informational material" and not expected to be subject to any tariffs. I'm looking at additional suppliers to provide more options on the whole.

Remaster of Vagus the Wandering Nerve now up on digital, along with other releases. More reissues & new Poperratic works underway. Also now finalizing art & copy for Vagus vinyl, CD, & cassette versions to be sold through distribution partners. Some LP options will include a fun 12-page narrative.

A light that's shining bright but pale
It chills the very air
Along the stark and frozen trail
That leads to who knows where
Each step more effort than the last
The figure trudges on
Who measures how the time is passed
Beneath the cold cold sun?
It chills the very air
Along the stark and frozen trail
That leads to who knows where
Each step more effort than the last
The figure trudges on
Who measures how the time is passed
Beneath the cold cold sun?

My first #VagueShapeOfACreature film, #10mggirl, comes out 4/20/26. It's based on a poem I wrote the first time I tried a 10mg gummy. Will you be tuning in?

Veil lift: My music platform streaming data & earnings between 2022 & July despite then dormant site + no marketing or social footprint. However, today's reality is 2.5M streams are meaningless in $ and value to many gatekeepers. I still measure growth & success by things like letters & paid gigs.

I vote for a new version of the world in which poetry and lyrics are the only acceptable formats for online communications. This beauty is Exhibit A:
Excellent, fabulous wonderous news!
From the top of your hat to the soles of your shoes.
It's so well deserved as it's such a great tune.
So happy that Brits will experience it soon.
