“Apothecary” is a year and almost a month old and I appreciate everybody who’s been streaming it recently. Share it with your friends and head to my website for a physical copy!

Got a new batch of QR code stickers from the beautiful people at @stickerjunkie.bsky.social. These are perfect for venue bathroom walls and the occasional lamppost. They’re also much nicer than the ones I used to get from a problematic hot sauce company.
A stack of stickers that say “Jason Benefield” and “jasonbenefield.com” along with a QR code that takes you to the website. The stickers are lying next to the book “1984.”

This song is not remotely explicit, and I'm far from puritanical, but I was hesitant to sing it live, let alone record it, because I felt like nobody would want to hear me of all people sing a song that references sex even in a roundabout way.
