First attempt at coq au vin to celebrate my better half's new job. A $6 bottle of wine imparts a lot of flavor, it turns out. Also, these pearl onions fuck.

You know, it recently occurred to me that when *you know who* kicks the bucket, that song I put out in February will probably get a bunch of streams I'll make a few bucks in royalties. So it'll be a good day all around.

A small thing I'm pretty proud of: I played a two day festival this past weekend. Two days of multiple sets a day totaling about 7 hours of playtime for the weekend, and I didn't repeat a single song. Hell, I still had material left over!

Hey friends, quick reminder: that pedo scumbag in the White House isn't gonna see the fat jokes you make about him. The armed gestapo terrorizing cities aren't gonna see the fat jokes you make about them. But the bigger bodied people in your life probably will.

“Thick as Thieves” by James Gedda pulses with a country heartfelt intensity — a rich blend of warm vocals, steady rhythm, and reflective lyrics that capture the deep bonds and quiet betrayals of relationships. youtu.be/axi9IHig6dg?...
