Halloween track I did a while back. I actually made this to submit to a label's Halloween compilation but they never listened to it so I released it on my own.

I see quite a bit of M.A.S.K. on social media, but one 80s cartoon I never see mentioned is Pole Position. I always loved the theme song:

Still thinking about Daniel Adam. How many still do? How long until no one does?

I was checking my numbers and the track that I threw together in around 2 hours for some Reddit challenge (using Seinfeld "Serenity Now" samples, of all things) has 1k+ listens and the one that I've been painstakingly crafting since January has 96. Yep, that tracks.

I just saw a post about Shadowgate for the NES and I totally forgot that I ever played this. I had forgotten about this game - and the fact that I played it - for decades.

Thinking about looking for a playable copy, but I've got music to work on.
Shadowgate title screen that shows the "Shadowgate" title and "Push Start." A screenshot from the old NES game, Shadowgate. This scene is a room with two list braziers and window looking out at the stars. A screenshot from the old NES game, Shadowgate. This scene shows a wraith blocking the player's path. A screenshot from the old NES game, Shadowgate. This is the end game screen when the player has failed.

I like how buying a plugin means that I'm going to see ads for that plugin every day for the rest of my life. Whoever came up with THAT algorithm needs to be shot with shit.

One of those promo scammers played the long game on me. Weeks of glowing feedback that sounded like chatgpt, and then dropped the, "I can help you reach your audience with my strategies" pitch. Tone completely shifted, went instantly from fan to consultant. Can't trust anyone these days.

Please share.

I’m embarrassed to share that I’m having to do this again. This has been such a hard time for me. Countless job applications and two years later I’m still trying to make sure I have a place for my kiddo and cats.
