We had the best time last night!

The gods told me they were pleased this morning when we met for gummy peaches and chamomile tea!

Next up for us is 5/17 in Pittsburgh, PA at Mr Smalls for the Millvale Music Fest! 🖖

We had a great time in NY and made it back with 0 individuals eating anything disgusting like Cool Ranch Doritos. Had wonderful diner food and saw a beautiful piece of gas station art. Back home and very excited to play the next @pogocorpse_peepshow event on 5/9!

One of the most unexpected encounters I experienced in the astral realm was the time I spent with #geofftate from #queensryche. I was not seeking him out. We literally ran into each other when we were doing astral yoga and practicing our Warrior III pose while floating in the air.

It’s quite difficult to describe the feeling of meeting so many spirit-gods inside of the astral realm. The light they shine on our souls is truly a miracle. When I first met the Wormhole Aliens I was overjoyed.

I’ve been very lost in a spiritual sense for the past several years. I’ve alternated praying to and communing with several beings in the astral realm during this time. During one particular session, I came across Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees.

Hmm….I don’t see Russia on this list of tariffs. Wonder why?

Got a nice little mention here for our version of Only. Excited for the full album on 4/30/2025.

I prayed so hard and meditated for so long. The Wormhole Aliens have seen fit to allow the release of our version of Anthrax’s, Only. It is now out via our Bandcamp page and will be available via all other services on 3/11/2025.

The full album, Wormhole Aliens, will be available in April. 🖖

This person called out to my throat and third eye chakras. They told me, “Mark, take a breath. Everything is as it is meant to be. 91.37568% of heavy metal fans won’t recognize this song anyway. Just relax in our aura deprivation station and listen to the sound of white noise.”

I had a beautiful and puzzling experience several nights ago where I was visited by one of the guardians of the universe in the astral realm. They told me they could feel the unease in my heart and see the disturbance of colors in my aura.

We utilized specific frequencies, some on a quantum level, to call out to 1980’s Jello Biafra and invite him to see us play some Dead Kennedys songs at a @somedienameless.bsky.social event recently.
February 25, 2025 at 2:09 PM
Screaming for a couple hours through some Dead Kennedys tracks was genuinely therapeutic. We will be playing this one and several others on 2/15/25 with @beesphilly.bsky.social @somedienameless.bsky.social
President’s Day show at 222 Ormsby in Pittsburgh
Bless!

Y’all, I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been feeling a certain way about the world right now. I don’t have control over much but it’s been feeling damn good and cathartic practicing these Dead Kennedys songs for 2/15 in Pittsburgh. These songs are still timely today.

Today is a shameful day with more surely to come. It might be harder right now, but I’ll be trying to find bits of optimism. There are still lots of good people out there in this world. Love and support to those feeling most scared and vulnerable.

I will always love the work of David Lynch. On to the next realm you talented soul. Many great worlds and memorable characters. Even his somewhat controversial take on Dune holds a special place in my heart. However, Twin Peaks is probably my favorite of all.

I’ve been meditating and praying a lot lately about the state of the world. Unfortunately I’ve discovered that Billy Corgan is choosing to ignore my cries and no longer communes with me in the astral realm.

I’d invite anyone that sees this to please give these words by @anntelnaes.bsky.social a read.

Fuck these oligarch asshats.

Happy New Year, folks! I switched to a new favorite Mario Kart character a month or so ago.

This will surely take many lifetimes. As we turn the corner into a new solar year, there are many things we wish to share and experience with you in this realm and the astral realm.

More to share soon, but my divining rod is overheating from the convergence of so many astral energies.

.02753 centuries ago, I discovered the Book of the Psychic Tau. It radically changed my life forever. So much wisdom and cryptic, ancient secrets that I am still trying to understand and assimilate.

What’s a comic book run that has stuck with you and had a profound impact?

I’ve got a few, but Tom King’s Mister Miracle is a recent-ish one that I can’t get out of my head.

Beautiful visuals, story, and lots of meaning beyond the great action and dialog.
