Kindness is the killer app.

Is this the mood I should select for my gear crush song for my Sweetwater Sales Engineer? #abitawkward

This is the very first photo on my camera roll. I was probably using it as a social media avatar

Today I stopped redirecting the url based on my name to my consulting site for work and built a site for my music instead. It felt damn good.

Watching Congressman Adam Smith on Meet The Press and kinda disappointed that his hands are, in fact, visible.

Scott Bessent is the kind of guy who would correct your definition of “pedantic”

In a world full of costellos, be an attraction

NPR is stealing my jokes

Got a flight later today. I might be humming this tune. youtube.com/shorts/xxxwd...

Despite living in Texas since 1979, I will never be a Texan, and here is how I know: My old Doc Martens root me to the earth in a way than no cowboy boots have ever been able to do. (Also, I’m woke AF)

Happy. 95th birthday. To William. Shatner.

Great list - and I'd humbly add I Drink My Whiskey Neat for consideration youtube.com/shorts/xxxwd...

Listening to someone playing Norwegian Wood on banjo and it works quite well

Mary Ford played guitar like Ginger Rogers danced

This is what the cover art will be. Releasing Friday 4/10 on Bandcamp, streaming platforms (Spotify etc). A bit lighter than my recent fare and some solid Howlin’ Wolf / Muddy Waters influence on slide. Super happy with the slide parts

If saying “Thanks, it keeps my head warm” when someone compliments me on my hat is wrong, I don’t wanna be right

I don’t think you actually *checks notes* Checked any notes

Think I have the Sweetwater Sales Engineer song tracked. Redid the slide solo and the Hammond organ tracks this am. Let it marinate, come back and do a final mix in a day or so.

When people text me a screenshot of something and I can see that their phone battery is <10%, I want to say “go charge that thing”

I will not claim to be good at slide - I’m a songwriter who gets by on it, not a lead player - but on a good day, playing slide feels like being a centaur that’s part human, part small glass bottle

Evidently he was, indeed, Bored of Peace

Cocoa on the Princeton Reverb

No cheating your last saved picture of a celebrity is your therapist (If I’m going to take health advice from a heroin addict, this is the one I’ll take it from)

Bass recording best practice: hold the final note and let it sustain out naturally so the engineer can fade it as desired. My bass reality: if I did that with this Precision, I'd be here all day. "You can go out and get a bite of lunch and it'll still be ringing." Such a great bass!

In case anyone’s looking for a punk rock alter ego name

We keep running into this big possum on our morning walks and the dog is desperate to make contact with this alien species

Playing chess with a pigeon comes to mind

I found my Sweetwater sales engineer’s music online and listened to it, and I wonder if that’s some sort of boundary issue

If you type “wala” or similar instead of “voilà”, I will judge you. Sorry to be a snob.

Ok, for me, two music truths and a music lie… 1. I read sheet music, but only in C clef (viola) 2. I started my first band less than two weeks after buying my first bass guitar 3. An early version of Smashing Pumpkins opened for one of my early bands

A song about perfectly flawed love for Valentine’s Day open.spotify.com/track/5i7GGN...

Generally my most offhand comments get the most traction here

“This is not a time to be dismayed. This is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for. It is now time to go. You’re a good person and that means more now than ever” - Henry Rollins - happy birthday, Henry!

A song about watching your kids grow up, and also about becoming grown up. It switches perspective a time or two. Very happy with the airiness of the track and with the tremolo guitar. open.spotify.com/track/1ezxKF...

Is the desk tiny, or is the concert tiny? I’ve always been unclear on this.

Between the racist meme and forcing members of the military to see the Melania movie, it’s his own vanity and lack of discipline that will ultimately bring him down.

My wife and I are both sick and we’re locked in the master bedroom to avoid exposing the kids who are home with a friend, and they’re calling our room the “room of death.” So empathetic.

My first song to ever be labeled E for Explicit on Spotify. Should I do a non-explicit version? If so, whst should i change the f-bomb to? open.spotify.com/track/2kL2SE...

Nice to see @henningo.com in my Release Radar

It feels like we’re waiting for the final season of The Boys both literally and figuratively

Seems like it’s just in the past month or two that Kristin Welker has started calling Melanie Zanona “Mel.” I may watch Meet the Press a little too much.

If there is one single takeaway from recent events - Epstein, ICE, MAGA, Board of Peace - it’s that no one person should have very much power at all over others. We have struggled for generations with a political question that amounts to “who should be in charge.” And the answer has to be “no one”

Happy Wednesday! Here’s the Mighty Portland Frog. On Bandcamp and most places where you stream music youtu.be/TomydXHdwbE?...

I reposted that because there is a song that must be written called “Musicology Duck on a Runaway Bus” and I may have to write it

if anybody has a problem with this, i have a bus ticket to sell you
