Vinyl Scars was made for vinyl listening... ❤️🤘 mattgeiser.substack.com/p/vinyl-scar...

Do I choose the uniform... Or does the uniform choose me? mattgeiser.substack.com/p/uniforms

I carelessly broke off one of my car side mirrors last week backing out of my garage... It reminded me of Vinyl Scars. They happen every day. ❤️🤘 mattgeiser.substack.com/p/skip-pop-r...

After The Long Game is my next album project... Unknowing is my first song concept. mattgeiser.substack.com/p/when-time-...

Me: “What are some popular songs about the fundamental forces?” AI: “There are not many popular songs specifically about the fundamental forces.” Challenge accepted! mattgeiser.substack.com/p/fundamenta...

Visualizing deep cuts. Literary rock. Jungle bar. Moral ambiguity. Name the song.

I'm upset and iterated quickly with AI assist. I sang into Suno and came up with this demo. I meant for punk rock but it came out country. Not sure if it should become a song? soundcloud.com/geissc/hook-...

"Songs That Echo" is my #SpotifyPlaylist for protest songs. I added some new #IndieMusic along with some additional classics. Comment with links if you'd like a song added. ❤️🤘 open.spotify.com/playlist/1Qq...

I laid out my Substack publishing schedule for Claude like a product roadmap. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞: "That's five weeks of throat-clearing before readers get a deep dive on any topic." I guess I was designing a curriculum when I should be telling stories. ♥️🤘 mattgeiser.substack.com

Got a good #IndieMusic protest song on #Spotify? Comment with a link and I will add it to my "Songs That Echo" playlist. ❤️🤘 open.spotify.com/playlist/1Qq...

I finished re-capping my RCA Victrola 77U. I'm contemplating the refinish. The lid is crispy and needs to a complete sanding/re-stain. I wondered what it would look like with high-gloss black on the lid and front grates. Here's current vs. mock-up What do you think?

Awesome!! Thank you!! ❤️🤘 www.submithub.com/link/matt-ge...

This Christmas season, I’ve been trying to practice listening more than speaking... Trying to notice the signal beneath the noise... the quiet things that insist on being heard. I'm grateful for another year to listen more carefully. Happy New Year. ❤️🤘

Scrooge didn’t change because he was told he was wrong. He changed when he was forced to recognize who he'd become. I’ve been thinking about this a lot while finishing Scorpion Ride. Taking next week off. See you on the other side of Christmas. #MerryChristmas

I wrote a quick Christmas carol for my next promo… Ebenezer Scrooge dancing with a scorpion…? What’s that got to do with Christmas??? 😂 I think it’s gonna be funny. ❤️🤘

The scorpion asked for a ride. The frog knew what would happen… It said yes anyway. "Why did you sting me?" "I couldn't help it. It's my nature." We do this every time. What if we said no? Scorpion Ride January 6th 🦂 #NewMusic #ComingSoon #FolkGrunge

The scorpion and the frog, told in 7 frames. The horror isn't that the scorpion stings. That's its nature. The horror is that the frog knew, and carried it anyway. And then became a scorpion itself. New song exploring this pattern - January 6th 🦂

Philco restoration Phase 1 complete. Did I get it working? No. I should've known: LLMs are confidently wrong about parts and creative with schematic interpretations. Phase 2: Less AI, more humans - Like Philco Phorum veterans who've actually seen a chassis before. Stay tuned.

Merry Christmas… card writing day. 😀🎄🌵 With some Bing Crosby to get the writing started. Durham spins. 🤔

"Convert the faithful, taking us for a ride." The frog doesn't just carry the scorpion and die. It becomes a scorpion… recruiting new frogs, perpetuating the cycle. MLM schemes. Abusive relationships. Political movements. Cults. We "fortify our precious lies" even as we drown. January 6th 🦂

Acoustic version of the opening lyric from "Scorpion Ride." "Morning star rising in the sky, searching for prophets, people to tell us lies." The fable's clear about the scorpion's nature. Why does the frog say yes? Hope? Denial? Pride? Genuinely curious what you think. New music - January 6th 🦂

Scorpion? 🦂Frog? 🐸 Or history repeating itself? #NewMusic #IndieMusic #ComingSoon

Ambition Malaise is upon us. Sometimes I prefer not to... but I do it anyway. Along the way I discovered that finishing is sometimes what I need to "break on through" my malaise. How do you break on through? ❤️🤘 www.submithub.com/link/ambitio...

My latest song drops on Friday... and as I wallow in my ambition malaise and lack of goals... here is an image I created with AI a few months ago when I had more motivation.

Ambition Malaise drops on Friday... I was feeling a bit more ambitious a few months ago and I wrote this article in preparation for the studio session: www.linkedin.com/pulse/groovi...

New song drops this week and I have zero ambition to promote it.

Because sometimes I would prefer not to... My latest collaboration with @KonSlayer_GW drops on October 3rd. Ambition Malaise - when existential exhaustion meets heavy swing. Here's your sneak peek. ❤️🤘 #NewMusic #ComingSoon #IndieMusic #FolkGrunge #ExistentialSwing

A few folks mentioned #Sting on my latest playlist…. Any surprise what’s on the turntable??❤️🤘 And it’s what’s spinning in Pittsburgh…

Looking for #IndieMusic to add to a new #SpotifyPlaylist I am curating... Check out the playlist and decide if you have a song that fits that you want added. Extra credit if you mention which song(s) on the playlist resonate. ❤️🤘 open.spotify.com/playlist/1Qq...

Been singing #HomeSweetHome all day as I rolled back to the Burgh… #MotleyCrue #TheatreOfPain Because there’s no place like home! ❤️🤘 And it’s what’s spinning in Pittsburgh…

This is my favorite Gorillaz LP… cover art and inner sleeve album art is amazing… And #OnMelancholyHill is my favorite track… What’s yours? Durham spins… 🤔

How about some #NewMusic to prepare the workweek? “It’s a song about the struggle of everyday life, yet there’s no pain or passion.” - Female, 35–44 Because your innie won't remember your outie. Unless there's a Waffle Party?😀❤️🤘 Check it out👇 🎧 lynkify.in/album/bus-ri...

Here's another recent fan review... 🎆 “This song sounds like a commercial.” - Female, 35–44 Maybe it is? A commercial about freedom... and realizing you’re not just a blind passenger. Open the blinds. Liberty offers more than flags and fireworks. 🎧 lynkify.in/album/bus-ri...

I received some interesting fan reviews, and I especially like this one... ❤️🤘 🎵 Bus Rides, Shades & Windows is out now. Whether you’re questioning the system or just trying not to burn your mac & cheese... 🎧 Listen here: lynkify.in/album/bus-ride…

Bus Rides, Shades And Windows is inspired by Anthony de Mello's observation that most of us are like people on a bus, passing through the most beautiful country imaginable, but the shades are drawn and we are arguing about who has first place on the bus. #folkgrunge lynkify.in/album/bus-ri...

The final verse and chorus from Bus Rides, Shades And Windows… Worldwide release on Friday, June 27th. Does it matter what they do? #NewMusic #IndieMusic #ComingSoon #FolkGrunge

X didn’t get it… somehow I think Bluesky will be even more clueless… but here goes. My one year retrospective of RTO…

Are you ready for a bus ride? Here’s a preview of the interlude… Who’s driving? You, me… or someone else?? ❤️🤘 Bus Rides, Shades And Windows releases on June 27th. #NewMusic #ComingSoon #IndieMusic #FolkGrunge
