Where are my anti-war, anti-genocide musicians at? Have you written a song against war that needs some love? Please share a link. #NoWar #FreePalestine #Peace #MusicSky

had time on my commute home to stop and take this pic

This song is about the sidewalk prophets we've all encountered. It's also about the (many) songwriters who struggle with religion. 💜 #indiemusic #songwriter #musicsky youtu.be/ToRU7LvadRc?...

The vocals were recorded using a baby monitor in the bathroom for this song. (The video is filmed mostly in the same bathroom! It's genuinely lo-fi.) #skyoriginalmusictracks #indiemusic #musicsky

Some of our least viewed videos are the ones I worked hardest on, but they're throttled because of the content. "Zapruder" is about the end of public innocence after the Kennedy assassination. Trauma and conspiracy, violence and intrigue as American institutions. youtu.be/YHbNrzz_5Ro?...

Our second album, "I Dissolve," is out on the loose today, Bandcamp, and streaming wherever you get your fix. theoxbowestate.bandcamp.com/album/i-diss...

10/10 album.

I wrote this song based on a dream I had about John Prine singing about trees. (Prine's death from Covid broke my heart.) It is a live recording; I played this in one take, as you can probably tell. #noAI #noautotune #musicsky #originalmusictracks youtu.be/ktmlHk2bzdc?...

😱😭🥰 (going through every emotion as we process this release and reception)

New album, "I Dissolve," is out. 12 original songs with videos made by us. All natural, seeking the blue notes. Would love to know your thoughts. #musicsky #originalmusic #songwriter #altcountry #americana youtu.be/ToRU7LvadRc?...

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

I will never get my fill of catching magic hour on a train through "the city's ripped backsides" (Iggy Pop). Our b-roll is blessed. #indiemusic #musicsky #chicago #secondcity youtu.be/L_7VqPbqPAk?...

Oops oh god, broke the literary airlock. Hi we're the Literary World's Prestigious Taco Bell Quarterly. We pay $150 for your prose, poetry and art, and we are currently open for submissions. 46% of Americans didn't read a single book in 2023 according to research. We're probably fucked but live más

Any Mason Jennings fans out here? He just dropped a new song and it's just as beautiful as you'd expect. youtu.be/OM5V3kDpWYk?...

I think we all need more trees on main.

These are new mixes with a few surprises (if you heard this one on the initial release, you'll notice a little lounge has opened up down this street) open.spotify.com/track/7fiWk3...

It's the real Labor Day - May Day!

We are also on dozens of other streaming services, so chances are we are where you are.

At least we still have dril.

If the boys don't come back to town today it's 7 more weeks of winter

John Prine had this plaintive ability to pierce your heart. Truly a rare gift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfwG...

"Don't bore us, get to the chorus."

It’s a strange compulsion to revisit an old indie music video I created 14 years ago for Boompa Records, and the band Woodpigeon. I had a compulsive need to fix the frame rate, and add a VHS effect to it, and scale it up to 4k. It's a weird one, and mystifies me looking back on it. #musicvideos

Thoughts are with our family and friends back home in the cold and flooded hills of Kentucky and West Virginia. #MusicVideo #Musiciansky #musicsky #blueskymusic #Music #Video #Songwriter #musiclover #indie #indiemusic #alternative #alternativerock #indierock #guitar #acoustic #acousticguitar

"When I broke a string at the Irving Plaza show in New York, the big one for me cause it was where I lived, he strolled out onstage and handed me his acoustic. 'Easy,' he said in my ear, in that husky, scary voice of his. 'Take it easy.'" 👑

"Don't bore us, get to the chorus."

Iconic.

😍

It blows my mind that we're approaching 15,000 followers on YouTube. We have no idea who these people are, they aren't bots or anything like that, it's just a funny thing that happens sometimes where a sound hits a place 1/3 of a second after it is emitted and it echoes confirmation of existence.

"Non-hit after non-hit from start to finish." 🖤

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge 22. World Event Though released & in 2002 & unconnected to event, this song makes me think of 9/11 every time One Of These Mornings - Moby m.youtube.com/watch?v=RkH_...

The best. A little "raving in the drunk tank," a little prog thrash, pure rock and roll.

We wrote this song, "Tupelo," while driving the length of the Natchez Trace in record-breaking heat. We were stopped forever in the middle of town as a train passed through. Hope you can hear the relentless crossing signal inspiration in the ride cymbal. #OriginalMusicTracks #IndieMusic #Elvis

#MemoryMusic #MusicChallenge 18. Success In my 40's did BSc then MA Internat Relations. Last part writing about American power explained by The Simpsons America - Bowie m.youtube.com/watch?v=afif...

Saw some people arguing whether Tom Petty was a better songwriter than Bob Dylan and I felt so, so very tired.

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

If you haven't fevered away in anguish to replicate the Carter Scratch of Mother Maybelle, you haven't grappled with what it means to be an American country guitarist.

Psst… since #bluesky people are our people, gonna let you in on a little secret. The new single is sneaky-released (and free) on Bandcamp right now. Coming everywhere else tomorrow…. roscoetripp.bandcamp.com/album/this-p... #indierock #altrock #environmentalism @altmadison.bsky.social #dcmusic
