Possibly my favorite song off Lost and Found has dropped! Nothing Comes Easy by @mfte.bsky.social is here, the gritty cyberpunk ballad you didn't know you needed.

Our first EP is also up. @FakeBitRebel My favorite songs from our EP are “Lost In The Gray” and “Drunk On Queens Boulevard”.

There’s a bonus track on the EP called “Messages”. This track is the first song @j-m-a-d.bsky.social and I ever made in this project. It’s from 2010 and it sat on a drive.

Sorry, it’s been awhile Couriers!
We are super busy with life stuff. @j-m-a-d.bsky.social and I @fakebitrebel.bsky.social are definitely doing the best we can!

We do have a new song called Forest Hills Punk. Check it out wherever you get your music.

It's the last thing in the world I would ever want to happen, but with each passing day it feels like we step closer and closer to the line. You can't reason with cultists, and I think a civil war is going to be the outcome of this. I don't think our kids are going to grow up in the America we did.

Here's my verse from @mfte.bsky.social newest song Karma!
July 28, 2025 at 11:49 PM
Karma just dropped. There's a bit where I pay homage to Eyedea (RIP).
"Secrets spill out when you're asleep;
It grabs me by the throat, I'm choking on your speech..."

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social Hi, J.M.A.D. here with @mfte.bsky.social news. When you said you were a never Trump guy, exactly how long would you say did it take you to bend the knee and lick the boot?
June 19, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Really appreciate @versatonerev.bsky.social listening and dissecting Lost & Found! I've never personally heard the comparison to Lin-Manuel Miranda, but I take it as a compliment 😂. Proud that Lost & Found was his first advance-copy review, so check it out and hit em with a like and follow!

New MFTE drops this Friday! It details all the joys of being a raging psychopath struggling with anger management.

Goosfraba. Goosssfraaabaaaaaa.
Hey Couriers! We hope your summer (if you are in the Northern Hemisphere) is off to a great start!

Search for you in the dark

Tear this place apart

Not be kept from my heart
My eternal rest cannot start
Until your bony hands are held in mine"

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

Blah blah blah, opposites attract
I'm a PC, and you're a Mac,
I'm DC, you know my kids'll smash
When I get a full mount on a little snack

It's a little throwback to the
song Lose You by @mfte.bsky.social

I am a child, don't @ me.
