I've been quiet online but busy off. I have a gig penciled in. I got some sweet lighting equipment and have been learning how to program/sync it. I connected with an awesome drummer and am reaching out to singers. I'm so excited to put on a killer show. It feels good to look forward to stuff. 🫣

I'm done with the #WNBA for the season. I'm done watching athletes get injured and hurt because too much "physical play" has been allowed. This has been an awful season because of this and I don't see it getting better. I should be excited about the playoffs but I've stopped watching.

I'm so proud of my student bands! Here's a highlight clip from their recent concert. Local friends: I'm looking for keyboard players for one of my grownup bands (the 2nd one in the video). Any experience level OK. Please spread the word!

I made a drum riser! I got the idea from a couple drummers I found on YouTube. It uses buckets for legs. Surprisingly sturdy and portable. It breaks down to a stack of buckets and two 3' x 6' platforms. It worked great at a concert this weekend.

I'm so excited for Andor season 2 this week, it got me thinking how I'd rank the Star Wars franchise. I came up with this, though #1 and #2 are basically tied:
1. Andor
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. A New Hope
4. Rogue One
5. Return of the Jedi
6. Mandalorian Season 1
...everything else is garbage

Tried to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle last weekend. BOTH of them had ridiculous head bob you can't turn off that gave me nausea. I couldn't play more than 15 minutes and refunded them. In 2025 it's ridiculous to not have the option to disable it!

Canceled my Splice subscription today after downloading 3000+ samples with built up credits. I don't use it enough to justify paying their 60% price increase. Too bad they don't have a smaller tier subscription and got greedy.

YES. While we're at it, stop having people talk with their mouths full in television and movies. I'm seeing more and more of this. It's not cool and edgy, directors, it's godawful and makes me turn your show off.
Youtube friends. Particularly travel and food channels.
Show me your food, do not show me you eating/chewing it.
It. Is. The. Worst.
Thanks.
Sincerely EVERYONE.

2024 has been a very hard year but my collaboration with UAP was a highlight. The dueling synth and guitar solos! 🤩 Had a blast making this video for the song, complete with rock star poses. Check it out!

it’s so cool how making music is so easy and then you have like the last 20% of the song to finish and it takes you anywhere from three weeks to 4 years

Thanks for the shoutout Fawkes! It still amazes me that there are other crazy people out there (in a good way!) who are down with 10 minute prog-folk-synth-pop epics. 🤣 (That's my song "Withernsea" if any of you seeing this want to go on a journey today.) bluenagoon.bandcamp.com/track/wither...

My song "Hinterlands" is a pretty good introduction to my work, at least on my last couple synthrock albums. Sung by my friend Salissa the song is about the call of the wilderness. So 80s adventure movies provided the perfect visuals for the video! 🐉⚔️
