Wow, as a background gigging musician, I hear a LOT of conversations. You boomers really hate your kids, don’t you! Really, it’s no wonder a lot of families are no contact. Grateful for the boomers in my life who love/care about me!

Everybody thinks the best music came out during our teenage years. Truthfully, it’s just that we’re generally not looking in the right places for the good music now (ie. not the popular music), and we’ve conveniently erased the bad music from our memories. There was a lot of crap back then too.

My hot take is you should not be expected/practically required to bring earplugs to a show if you're not going to stand next to a speaker. I'm paying to hear music played live. You have all this tech and you just turn shit up and make it into mush. Great.

Random musician I had to gig w/: “Um, I’ve never heard of you.”
Me thinking:
“Okaaay. Probably because you play w/ the same clique of fake people who don’t work w/ ‘new’ musicians in unless they’re your type of cool.”
I have NEVER fit in and I NEVER will. This is nothing new, but it’s getting old.

“Don’t you wish you had a computer you could talk to?” No I absolutely the fuck do not, what is wrong with you.

I don’t like to toot my own horn, but when I booked at a venue yesterday for ‘26 in person, it felt good to hear the owner saying they HAD to put me in their rotation. I’ll take that in-person interaction any day over the nonexistent likes/comments I’ll never get online. #notbuiltforsocialmedia

A simple THANK YOU in the music business isn’t much to ask for. And you wonder why I don’t help people out like I used to. My fault for thinking people have manners. #nogooddeedgoesunpunished

Musician’s Blog- Nothing New
🎸
I’ve been quietly blogging since Spring ‘25. If you’re not on a Meta platform I’m learning that you don’t exist to the people you know in real life. I want to blog, podcast, and do so much but it’s hard with little support.

LEMMY TELL YOU
Over the years I’ve always enjoyed being crafty and I’m currently looking to make pillows out of old band shirts! My favorite one so far is this Hendrix one, what do you think? I’m considering...

I had to let my tipper tonight know that playing #wonderwall at a gig is illegal. He asks, “Really?” And “I said maaaaaay-baaaay…”

If you think you can embarrass me for masking, think again. I will kindly embarrass the hell out of you; perhaps you’ll walk away thinking about someone else besides yourself. #ioweyounoexplanation

If you don’t wipe down your equipment at a public gym I assume you don’t wash your hands after you go to the bathroom. #cleanyourequipment

I’m at a venue, the pre-show canned music is so loud I have to wear earplugs and my voice box is vibrating. Everyone is screaming at each other because they’re deaf because they INSIST on turning things up to 11. So sick of everything being loud AF in the US, we are so obnoxious. #turndown

My safety is more important than anything else. No job, and I mean NO JOB, is worth driving through flash flooding and storming for. I’m grateful that all of my regular gigging spots understand my concerns and want me to be safe as well. #flashfloodingdoesntdiscriminate
