Wow. I had never read this one. Incredibly powerful. The close is also a gut punch.

This is my lock screen photo. 😂

Welcome back Darth! You are one of our favorite signs of spring! Here's another. ☀️ Gotta find the light where you can.

You'll get a circus, history told us, if you vote for a clown; but the grifters pitched their tents, and the good word got drowned out.

"Flying On Instruments" came out one year ago today! Grateful for the shows we were able to play and to everyone who has listened. Many of these songs feel like they were written for 2025. To wit:

"We're all flying on instruments, no one's got a crystal ball. The weather's bad, the sky is dark...

All of the devils are here for sure.

Also I had seen the name David Sacks among the producers, and I kept thinking... Why is that name familiar? Oh. Super extra gross. I just felt sad and icky after watching it. These people have been growing powerful for two decades, and we haven't even heard of most of them. It's depressing AF.

Watched this for the first time last night. Had the weirdest experience. First of all, about fell out of my chair when I saw that Peter Thiel and Leon were among the exec producers. Ewwwww. But I kept watching because I had heard it was funny and I needed a laugh, badly.

Today I came across this live session I did with Federico several years ago. I am not sure that I ever shared it at the time, or even saw it... But better late than never! Paralysis Bug is a fitting song for gray January days...

Interesting timing that this song - about how corporate greed and the relentless pursuit of wealth will be the downfall of society unless we stick together - came out this week. Cheers, I guess? 🥂
Out on streaming platforms tomorrow, or buy it via Bandcamp!

Hello friends new and old! 💙

I'm looking forward to reclaiming a space on the soshalls with folks who care about other humans, art, music, literature, and the power of community. Let's be good to one another.

✨

I'm optimistic about the future
But how long will it take to get there? I'm not sure.
