I view Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks as the most perfect album ever made. I think Loaded by the Velvet Underground is a close second to it. And London Calling by The Clash is the most gloriously imperfect album ever.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

After a brief copyright battle with myself (thanks for watching out for my rights, distributor! 🤣), a short of mine that had been taken down is now back on YouTube. I am sure everyone is relieved to know that.

I know there are a few anti-ICE playlists circulating. If you're curating one, I'm humbly offering this for consideration. Written from the perspective of the person in the bar watching TV news and realizing that they've been lied to open.spotify.com/track/2kL2SE...

I’m not gonna jump on hating Geese after SNL because I barely know anything about them. But it would have been cool if Teyana had said “Ladies and gentlemen, geese!” and the curtain had raised to reveal an actual flock of geese.

A dog that jumps on people, isn’t housebroken, and won’t respond to commands is poorly trained.
A dog that viciously attacks people is not just “poorly trained.”

Fixing to release a new song - recorded and mastered it today and shot video footage as well.
Recording, mixing, and mastering all in one session is a TERRIBLE idea. Except when it works, which it did.

I am using the bridge pickup on my Strat for a solo I’m working on. I normally can’t abide the bridge pickup. But it works for this.
