I'm a weird little guy, making music for other weird little guys. My new EP of electric mandolin playing medieval bangers, "Wee Beastie," is out now!

Brown University. Another horrific day in a gunsick land. Those are kids just trying to learn and live and get home for the holidays. Every damn day, this nation breaks your heart.

A mass shooting has occurred at Brown University.

Students received a text message reminding them to “run, hide or fight”.

This is America.

Remember this when Erika Kirk cried crocodile tears on her CBS Town Hall.

Remember Charlie saying children dying was an “acceptable price to pay”

Just saw a Parkland survivor post about being on lock down at Brown University.

We've failed generations of kids with our gun fetish

This country is just broken
Gunshot/school shooting survivor @miatretta.bsky.social sent me this photo of us taken after the 13th national vigil for all victims of gun violence- just this morning. Now she is in lockdown at Brown University. Please 🙏 for her & commit to joining the fight to end this madness!

Hearing about Providence and Brown now. Terrible, awful news, and there are still few facts. My wife is a grad of Johnson & Wales, and the years we spent in RI were profoundly formative for us both.

This had seemed so random, but, no. It's just the cruelty we've come to expect
In other news, the whole thing about Calibri v. TNR isn't about a font face, it's about the fact that Calibri is easier for people with some disabilities to read.

They think any accommodation, however painless, should stop.

My love for em dashes is as old as the hills and as mighty as my inability to make a transition between thoughts literally any other way and I will be damned if I let the clankers take that from me

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

THE US MILITARY IS NOT APOLITICAL, IT IS NONPARTISAN. BY ITS VERY EXISTENCE IT IS POLITICAL.

The look that makes you think that he's like this guy: "Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."
This is EXACTLY who i want as the face of the military

And that was when my Mac and all associated hardware gave me a literal shock, necessitating unplugging everything and calling an electrician. So I guess not quite open for business yet.

I'm still trying to beat the bug I caught on my last road trip, but I'm so happy to be in the sun, in my brand new studio. My dogs and cats are with me, and music fills the air.

More soon, I promise.
