How has it been 22 days since I said I was going to start regularly-posting here? My friend Ryan also motherless now said time will get weirder and weirder. I could look at the calendar I suppose. I didn't work most of the year thinking I was black-balled for being anti-g3n0cyde...

Anyway I feel like I never post BTS pics things like I have an unspoken NDA and that's why I have a job but when you work for someone big enough it must be like who cares if you post something nice. George sat behind me in the car to the gig and sang whatever for 30 minutes like it was a sound bath

Get off my lawn moment: when I hear ppl come in my local and tell my friend bartending "oh I used to live here..." like whatever were you in the Fever or whatever (probably). I don't go back to dc and tell some random server eyyy I used to live her I know Fugazi. Like who?

Once I confirmed this Boy George gig I thought well there it is I won Gay Icon Bingo talking about my client list. But realized I kind of got BINGO, 5 artists, big deal to me as I gravitate to amplifying voices that need to be heard, know what I mean? I'm on the faders.

I've been sitting in a posh-ish hotel lobby for a couple hours. I have 2 hours to go. It's been 3 weeks since mom died. I'm working for Boy George mixing his live show. The SUV limo driver is also chilling not far behind me. After 2 days we're friends now.

Let's start over. Hi I'm Jonathan.
I didn't really invest in posting here because it seemed no one is looking. I'm over that.
Hi, I'm Jonathan. My mom just died. I'm about to tell some stories.

I also used to bristle at being called Sir as I always associate it was authority figures: Sir's for dads and cops. Actually I just hated that it made me feel like I had to be older. Today I take it back. I'll take it with the faux respect intended. I am Sir.

I used to bristle at people saying I'm a "road dog" as if having perpetual athletes foot and being an otherwise unkempt music dirtbag was my description, but FWIW I'm slightly jealous of the stereotype road crew by the pool with the entire rider and stacks of cigs at 7am being pleasant

I just came up with an idea for something amazing that's both anti-DJ event and anti-soundbath in a way, I know @catbeats.life would be most likely to hold me accountable for making it more than a text post

Look, if gently floating in a halcyon firmament of mutual devotion while suckling bliss and whispering “I love you” isn’t your thing then maybe get a cat.

I'm in the hotel lobby about to begin my journey home from Manila, about 26h door-to-door. I've been here less than 2 days. This is my critique of the current state of the music industry

Seems totally normal I'm back to watching The Twilight Zone and listening to Skinny Puppy like it's 1990

Not a critique at all but been in Burlington, VT recording for days and it's like there's a psyop by all these rad folks to move here, free healthcare and Bernie notwithstanding

To my 5 followers, hi! I know you all IRL it's like I managed to get you all to lunch, which here in nyc would take 2.5 years to make happen.
I'll have you know in the midst of this American sh-tshow I'm doubling down on the art part and my shoulder is totally fucked in pain and I'm happy anyway

Still new here but feeling texty. Despite a plan to release multiple records and produce, mix engineer a bunch more in 2025 I'm feeling the urge to go full Y2K and bail on the internet to "share." Self sabotage for sure but it just started feeling extra black mirror this week.
