My album "Circularity" (and my other Failover releases) is now available on most online music retailers & streaming platforms (except Spotify, for reasons I explained earlier) for you to stream or (cough) purchase...links in the comments.
Thanks again as always for supporting independent music!

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.
