Anyone that is not a fan of or haven’t heard of Blue October, I recommend the Argue With A Tree live album, videos from the dvd are on YouTube. It is a magical performance, one of the best live albums to me. open.spotify.com/album/0f7FtD...

If only I could convert my hours playing minesweeper on my phone towards something productive, I’d be very successful at something.

Haven’t been on here much since my emergency surgery. Recovery might take a while, so in the meantime please give this song a listen. Still trying to get it over 1k: open.spotify.com/track/5YH37h...

Awful plot twist I was misdiagnosed and it was actually blood clots causing my pain. Nearly lost my hand. 7 hour surgery and incisions from my neck to my wrist. Now hoping my hand will fully recover. If anyone gets diagnosed with DQT or carpal tunnel, be sure to have them check your wrist pulses.

Anxiety’s Grasp Track 4 - Chasing Your Soul My favorite from the album. Sound inspired by Deftones and lyrics inspired by a song from Mo Lowda & The Humble. Song compares life to driving fast down the road riding the edge of disaster and the toll it takes. open.spotify.com/track/2Prxuf...

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is pretty brutal. Bit heartbreaking not knowing when I’ll be able to play a guitar again. Tack on a possible torn rotator cuff and 2025 is not my year so far.

Anxiety’s Grasp Track 3 - Super Me This was my attempt at a punk song. Basically is about wanting to be a super version of yourself…but it not turning out and becoming jaded which was your fear. Drums are weird, it was accidental but thought it fit. open.spotify.com/track/3MLoJE...

Anxiety’s Grasp Track 2 - Masquerade The 2nd song on my first album was Masquerade. Early on in my mental health journey it became obvious that I had trapped myself inside hidden behind a mask trying to act like everything is fine. open.spotify.com/track/4J1L34...

Looks like @bsky.app is about to hit 30 million users! bcounter.nat.vg

Anxiety’s Grasp Track 1 - Anxiety This song was basically recorded between panic attacks after some long avoided anxiety refused to be avoided any longer. I left it pretty raw for effect but also because I lacked the capacity to really make it sound any better. open.spotify.com/track/0tuR6A...

I’m getting close to finishing my second album. You can preview many of the songs on my Bandcamp because I’m too impatient to wait to publish the songs as I finish them. Though, typically not listened to much. But I will be revisiting my first album and sending some notes out about each track.

Daily Radars 🟢 We have another 4 tunes added! @revivalryband @theverasmusic @TRPofficial @levengroveband Give it a follow and listen below. 👇 linktr.ee/dailyradars

Was anyone a fan of the Finding Bigfoot show? Here’s a fun song I wrote inspired by it: bittersweetrelief.bandcamp.com/album/sasqua...

There is no good, bad, right, or wrong in music. Some people may not connect to it, that doesn’t mean it is bad, just isn’t for them. Just sharing a reminder that I often give myself.

Getting closer and closer to my first song to have 1,000 plays on Spotify. Would appreciate any listens!!! open.spotify.com/track/5YH37h...

Hate politics? Check out Pick Your Side: open.spotify.com/track/5383dF...

Damn, got to remember to not check my Spotify stats on the weekend. Harshing my vibe. Several days, no plays…

How is everybody?

If you’re looking for cool soundscapey lo-fi guitar action to listen to while you’re working, studying, or just zoning out during extracurricular activities, you should be following Dylan Rush on Bandcamp!

Hide and Seek For your identity Olly Olly Oxen Free So happy that this song is getting a bunch of plays! It is one of my favorite early songs. Line about mirror being fuzzy, is where I got the EP name Fuzzy Mirror came from. open.spotify.com/track/0NWkjJ...

Been thinking about starting a multimedia venture focused on indie art, music, books, games, podcasts, and other content/culture stuff. After a painstaking process of reviewing tons of name ideas that were mostly already taken, I think I finally landed on one that might work: The Revel Realm.
