🎶 What’s your musical ick? 🎶

It could be a genre, a lyrical theme, a particular instrument maybe? I feel like we all have one.

Air horn samples? Clumsy rhymes? Fade outs? Too much auto tune?

What gets you desperately scrambling for the skip button?

Another work in progress! Do you ever wonder if your best music is sitting in that big, dusty folder of half-finished songs?

How to support musicians:

The best way is to buy their music from bandcamp or a store that sells music. Physical or online. Do this primarily.

The second best way is to pirate that music. Do this when you can't buy it.

Go and listen to this, if you haven't already. Really great songs! Dangerously catchy! 🪝

Some days writing a new song feels like some kind of meticulous, spiritual archeology. Other days (like this one) a song just crashes in like the SWAT team! Is your creative process more like pulling teeth, or being hit by lightning? 🦷 🌩️ 🤔
