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-...

Any #indiemusic artists using substack to write about their music? Here's mine. Send me yours and I will follow. mattgeiser.substack.com

"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...

Do you have any #IndieMusic you'd like added to my #Spotify playlists? Comment with your song links and I will check them out. Happy New Year!❤️🤘

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…

I’m dusting off my Bluesky account. Has the unsolicited political posting in my feed stopped…? We’ll see… ❤️🤘

Hi everyone. I am signing off of @bsky.app for while. I find this feed is far more political than on X and the meta sites. I continue to be active on X, FB and IG if you want to reach me about music. I’ll check back in a few months to see if the bitter political posts have subsided. ❤️🤘

I’m proud to announce my 8th studio album, #MadeinChinaAlbum is now available in full on @bandcamp.com! I hope you enjoy the tracks x exclusively here for the next month! mikeyjmusic.bandcamp.com/album/made-i...

Hello @bsky.app is your discover algorithm programmed for disenfranchised political postings…? I am not on social media to discuss politics… if it’s music about politics - fine… but I’m not sure “less like this” is working… maybe you don’t care.

I love #LowSpark… Such a great album!! ❤️🤘 Durham spins…🤔

So… my @bsky.app feed has more politics than music… this disappoints me. I do not engage with politics. Nothing against folks do… I would prefer music. Here is mine on @youtubemusic.bsky.social music.youtube.com/channel/UCZ9...

Anybody ever tried mailing one of these in 50 years later?? I’m expecting “Return To Sender” but I’m curious… 🤔

Found some good ones today at The Attic in Pittsburgh… Up first? #TupeloBlues #JohnLeeHooker And it’s what’s spinning in Pittsburgh… ❤️🤘

Crowes…❤️🤘 And it’s what’s spinning in Pittsburgh…

I just cracked the shrink-wrap on this one… Why is Hall so pissed at Oates?? Regardless… a fantastic vinyl!! ❤️🤘 And it’s what’s spinning in Pittsburgh…
