Right proper mess o’ vocal automation.

New release that I worked on is out in the world! Thanks Runaway Horse and @janapochop.bsky.social for bringing me in to mix the ultra vibey Mi Voz. Go have a listen!

Some death metal recording from a couple weeks ago. Drummer requested no samples be used so we had to like, actually record good sounds. Love that. It’s not my usual genre but it turned out great. #recording #recordingstudio #drums #bass #guitar

Some highlights from the Hands Off protest in Austin, TX today:

Decided to start reading The Call of Cthulhu on Hoopla because eldritch horror seems like a pleasant escape from reality.

Someone drew another swastika on a lamp in my neighborhood so we turned it into a game of tic tac toe. Forgot to get a before picture but you don’t want to see that filth anyway. (This was before April Fool’s Day so it wasn’t a joke.) Welcome back to Trump’s America.

There’s no substitute for practice.

Task for Gen Z: If “Ohio” means something is average or boring, I need you to start using “Texas” to mean stupid or asinine, especially intentionally. I’d do it myself but as a millennial my sway on pop culture is zero.

I’m finally getting to one of the most meaningful projects I’ve done. I cannot believe ten years have gone by, but Kent Finlay left us on March 2, 2015. In February just before that, he asked me, Big John Mills, and Gregg Andrews to come out to his house and record his stack of unrecorded songs.

if you're reading this 50 years from now I need you to know that this series of world events isn't as dumb as it probably seems, it's actually much, much dumber than you can possibly imagine

This has been sitting on my shelf for years and I guess it’s time I read it. And holy hell, right from the start, the rise of the Nazi party and Bolsheviks is *exactly* what the Trump/Musk party is doing now.

Watched The Producers tonight and it feels nostalgic to remember a time when Nazis were universally maligned.

Dog snuggles also help

The only thing that will get me through the next four years is good music. Took my dad to see David Gray last night, one of our faves. His new record is lovely and poetic. A real songwriter’s songwriter.

the richest man in the world decided that you don't deserve safe drinking water

Crammed a 13 piece band in the studio for rehearsals for a big event. Last one, then rest! And by rest I mean a different gig of course.
