It's been longer than half an hour and the video is now live. Have fun!

The new video for my song "The Way to the Heart Is Through Commerce" will premiere in around half an hour. Anyone who says they saw it premiere earlier because I initially set it to premiere at 12 AM instead of PM by accident is LYING www.youtube.com/watch?v=z90l...

The new Monsieur Herr album Everything's Great is out now! This is a recording. honsieurmerr.bandcamp.com/album/everyt...

I ditched Spotify earlier this year so I'm not posting about Wrapped, but here is an up-to-date no-particular-order list of 10 of my favorite albums for the Holiday Season™

Surprise! The new Monsieur Herr album EVERYTHING'S GREAT will be released tomorrow, December 5th. Cover art by @ceramicnightmares.bsky.social. Weeee! honsieurmerr.bandcamp.com

It's that time of year! youtu.be/UBgrsC6uHUk?...

I don't know enough about the J. Geils Band to know if they were any different before Love Stinks and Centerfold and stuff basically turned them into The Tubes or if they were always basically The Tubes. But I'm not sure I have the strength to find out

If Paddy McAloon knew about Pajama Sam in 1996 he would have written a musical adaptation of it because that's a very Paddy McAloon thing to do. We could have had the Prefab Sprout Pajama Sam record

Yeah I know this video is probably AI but it reinforces my preconceived notions about the world so it's fine. I am 50 years old

ICYMI: Have YOU distracted yourself today? Distract yourself now with one easy trick. Doctors hate him

Video for I Distract Myself out NOW!!! It's also on all the usual places for those who prefer their audio without video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=95kr...

New thesis: Rattus Norvegicus is the misogynist Stranglers album, No More Heroes is the racist Stranglers album, and all the other Stranglers albums, but especially The Meninblack, are increasingly the funniest Stranglers albums (except for Aural Sculpture, the dumbest Stranglers album)

Good Molly, Miss Golly! There's going to be a new Monsieur Herr song and video tomorrow. This happens every now and again and we're still not used to it www.youtube.com/watch?v=95kr...

Don't U Know It

Yesterday (w/help from my friend Jon) I made a hilariously truncated edit of one of the songs on my upcoming album (4:54→1:33) partly as an experiment to get a FLAC under 10mb and partly to turn it into Elvis Costello's Welcome to the Working Week and I'm seriously considering putting it out as a 7"

I hope nothing but good things continue to happen for Zohran Mamdani

Just think that we were only a couple years, a key change, and an absence of gated reverb + CS80 away from living in a very very very different world youtu.be/9YNufvgPP20?...

As we know, the moral of the Steely Dan story is that true perfectionism is futile, but the pursuit of it is one of the most compellingly human things imaginable. Also, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker were insufferable jazz dorks and massive nerds (endearingly). This is why everyone loves Steely Dan

Happy early Halloween! Here is a document of how I spent yesterday afternoon: honsieurmerr.bandcamp.com/album/acoust...

Upon consideration I think Futura Bold Oblique may quickly be joining the ranks alongside Microgramma and Helvetica as one of my favorite fonts

"It's Miller Time™!" - me about to listen to the work of Scott Miller of the bands Game Theory and the Loud Family (zero beers are involved)

well,

Designing a smart fridge that does everything except preserve food

Just here to say that the next Monsieur Herr album is basically done and it's either going to be the best thing I've ever put out or the worst thing I've ever put out. Make of this what you will

Considering the idea that Television and Neil Young/Crazy Horse are the platonic ideal of two guitars/bass/drums rock groups for when you secretly wish you were jazz and when you want to hang out and make a lot of noise and see what happens, respectively

[A blinding light beams down from the sky, illuminating my body in a heavenly glow] "The Promise" by When in Rome is proto-Wii music

Considering the possibility that Gaucho may in fact be the funniest Steely Dan album, which is no mean feat considering how often Steely Dan tries and is largely successful at being funny. It certainly has the best (i.e. the most ridiculous) one-liners

I'm still bummed out that David Lynch is no longer on this planet. Every time I'm reminded that he's gone I become irrepressibly sad. I'm not sure I'll ever not be sad about it

i love the idea that there’s definitely a few thousand people out there everyday that ask grok stuff like “is broccoli healthy”

Placing bets now on whether or not the new Taylor Swift album will reach Love Beach status in 20-30 years. By my understanding it seems to be equally hilarious and embarrassing largely by way of its creator not realizing how hilarious and embarrassing it is

My new album is called "Gavin Newsom Is a Ghoul Who Feeds on the Blood of the Homeless and I Can't Believe You're All Forgetting This"

What if instead of Lowe's it was Nick Lowe's and Nick Lowe was there and also Los Straitjackets were there. Would be really fucking cool

Trying to come up with a list of the Good Billy Joel Songs as someone who isn't particularly a Billy Joel fan. So far I have Pressure, Uptown Girl, Movin' Out, My Life, *maybe* Angry Young Man? Maybe some others. Big but ultimately low priority WIP

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

My other new album is called "Joining the War on Autism on the Side of Autism"

My new album is called "Gavin Newsom Is a Ghoul Who Feeds on the Blood of the Homeless and I Can't Believe You're All Forgetting This"

Give it to the Raw Milk Boys! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRWn...

I'm becoming a big appreciator of Rupert Holmes and specifically the Partners in Crime album. A casual observer may dismiss it as mere Yacht Rock but in actuality the bulk of the album consists of top-shelf Prank Music for Awful People. Much like Steely Dan it just has a veneer of acceptability

Oh no! Anyway here's the KFC original recipe as confirmed by Harland Sanders' 3rd great nephew Anthony: 1 tb+¼ ts Sage ½ ts Cloves ¼ ts Nutmeg ½ ts Cinnamon ⅛ ts Cayenne ½ ts Coriander ¼ ts Ginger 1 ts Garlic powder 1 tb White pepper 1½ tb Black pepper ½ ts Cardamom 3tb salt 1 tb MSG 3 cup flour

Happy Bandcamp Friday to all who celebrate. If you're not up to speed with the myriad of Monsieur Herr releases available to you, you have nobody to blame but yourself: honsieurmerr.bandcamp.com

[A beam of light comes down from Heaven straight into my brain] ELO is basically ABBA with more street cred

Buying Into the Hype just barely came out and I already nearly have another one in the can. Not yet but very close. One day there's just going to be yet another Monsieur Herr album and we're all going to have to deal with that

Tool is a band for people who otherwise exclusively listen to video game soundtracks. Ghost may also be like this. Send tweet
