The movie musical playing in my head since 1985 occasionally produces bangers.

“But do you condemn -“

Let me stop you right there. No. I don’t condemn any act of resistance against imperialists, colonialists, fascists or their uniformed agents, at home or abroad, and I don’t get to tell people how to liberate themselves. Next question.

Piece by piece, day by day
Watch the Bride trade away
The neighbors for a bit of silver

All these kingdoms, all we’ve won
Frightened children, loaded guns
Won’t slip through the eyes of needles

We beat our plowshares into swords
Seek a worldly reward
That’s the only kind that’s waiting

Still just dipping our toes in here on BlueSky but wanted to pop in to announce the arrival of Tattoo, an EP tracking the cycles of a long relationship, loss, and the attendant grief. Poured my heart into this one. I hope it’ll find the folks with whom it will resonate. (Grammar!)

Admittedly I haven’t tried hard but - I haven’t really figured out BlueSky yet.

At any rate, in the interest of continuing to exist here - if you like Americana / lyric driven alt rock, maybe our latest track and our upcoming EP is for you!

Ok Geneva open mic night, let’s see if you can get me out of my despair spiral for a couple hours.

Somebody tell me what BlueSky is for. I admit I haven’t spent much time trying to crack it but it doesn’t seem like it’s really for music. Should I just post all my political thoughts nobody asked for over here?

Always wondered how the Star Wars Emperor could start with a battle-hardened army and end up with an "entire legion of his best troops" being beaten to death by teddybears with sticks.

Then Hegseth ended up as US Defence Sec. And now yeah that makes sense.

If you think you’ve got zero motivation to do promotional content given all the shit happening in the world, I present to you what less than zero motivation looks like

Hey have you guys ever seen my impression of JD Vance?

Every morning, cold plunge
Drink a few egg yolks
Bench press, deep lunge
Write a couple trans jokes
I can’t really handle
Thinking deeper than a slogan
Catch me next week

I’ve always been fascinated by ruins, because you know there was a time that this was somebody’s whole world. Something so big, so important, they likely couldn’t bear to think of it collapsing, dying, vanishing.

The forthcoming Tattoo EP follows this line of thinking, but about relationships.

Never really wanted to “go full #singersongwriter” but been feeling like I needed to add a bit of challenge to my routine and the mournful stuff I’ve been writing lately actually works with #harmonica so here we go. Start of a long road. 🤞

“Run Away” about my crippling social anxiety at parties.

Look, I’m sorry you are gonna lose your family farm because they deleted the Inflation Reduction Act before you got reimbursed for your equipment upgrades, but on the bright side, at least a Twitter intern named BigBallz has your SSN on his laptop next to a folder marked “Brazzers downloads”.

I made a whole ass music video last year for this killer bluesy rock song off my last EP and it got 107 views 😑 but I enjoyed it. And that’s why I only do promo stuff that makes me happy.

I can’t believe it. I finally get some recognition from my peers and Morgan Wallen decided to flame me for it?! I’m heartbroken.

On the one hand my 3 year old cries every time the wind blows, these days.

On the other hand he demands to hear Hakuna Matata 12 times a day so at least he’s working on himself.

Fun fact - when I asked my pal Deke (who mixed this EP and the last one) to do some backing vocals, he just assumed the lyric was “my head was spinning” rather than “swimming” …

And that is exactly why I made the line “swimming”.

Anybody else get weird about certain lines being “too obvious”?

@iamdavehawkins.com is one of the finest songwriters on this app and he is not to be argued with!
“I can see it now” by @mannequinshopband.bsky.social nearly broke me this morning. Had those spine tingles you only get when something really really hits.

Super kind review of the new song! Couldn’t have said it better than this ->
New music, you say? 😁
This is nice! Pretty old-school Country with a little bluesy guitar solo thrown in for good measure. Exceptionally clean mix and vocal harmonies for days.
Worth checking out, I'd say! 👍

Highly recommended!
