I make music that sounds like a John Hughes movie you've not yet seen. Synthwave / Retrowave

Wholesome AF - He/Him

I also love horror movies and home haunts and crafting/woodworking.

This is what I do.

If you like synthwave / retrowave with genuine feels, check out the link in my bio.
It's been seventeen days and the biggest change I've noticed is that I talk to myself out loud a lot more.
I'm taking a hiatus from social media. See you on the other side.

I forget who said it first, but isn't it wild that in one generation we built the most advanced system for finding information about anything, and then we ruined it.

There was like, a decade or two where the climax of every film revolved around which wire you were supposed to cut.

I've had a couple of comments about this cartoon, which I thought would be a great opportunity to drill down in excruciatingly needless detail about my process. Someone said how much did I deliberate over the use of the word 'Pig' and another suggested it should say 'Hog'. So, here was my thinking:

What a great character arc.

Fuck it, it's done. Who wants to master my album.

I've figured out the secret to bsky engagement:

1. Complain about something
2. Include a picture of a cat
3. Mention LEGO

Young people are still getting together in garages and making music.

They're paying human artists to make logos and album art.

The first 5 hand-painted wooden ornaments are done! I'll post them individually tomorrow for a better view, but here they are. 😈🎨🦇

They'll go on my site tomorrow, too- $13 + $7 S/H but you can reserve one now if you want.

(Bonus picture of Marty because I needed a placeholder. He is NOT for sale.)

If you supported me, or any of my friends, or any of the artists / musicians / music-makers I enjoy, or just anyone who created something and deserved to feel the little spark of joy that comes from someone being interested and spending some money on something they created today—

Thank you!

I won four LEGO sets in a silent auction so now I know what I'm doing with my weekend. I NEVER get LEGO, so I am super pumped.

"Woah, that's a lot of Bsky notifications! Did the post about the music we worked really hard on take off some how?

Oh...no. It's the cynical comment I made that got a lot of likes. "

Sigh.

If it doesn't include a crewman operating a vomit machine in the corner, is it really a 4K remaster?

A tiny example of using reference for inspiration not duplication. For those of your curious about the machine in the recent Arctic piece, it is inspired by the already ‘wonky' Tucker Sno Cat. I would love to drive one of those.

I know I say this every year, but I'mma say it again:

Your top streamed artists of the year - If you've not already done so, you need to find a way to directly support them. They've earned it.

Bandcamp, buy a shirt, stickers, Patreon for a month. They made your year, make their day!
