Realized my John Coltrane shirt might look satanic in public.

Watched Goonies yesterday. Literally thought these were the same people until this morning.

Merry Christmas to me.

Beginning the great Christmas tradition of turning the air conditioner back on.

This is all 68 albums I bought this year on Bandcamp in 2025. Another good year for music.

Tonight's reading soundtrack. Shimmering drone bliss 🌌

Hey there! I put up a live recording on Bandcamp today. 22 minutes of soft tunes recorded in April. Take a gander. Love you all! whettmanchelmets.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

That sounds like a lovely way to spend some time, I will give it a listen.

Giving a presentation at work in 2 hours. Wish me luck.

My first music room that's not just my bedroom.

Rearranging the music room. Got the music bookshelf where I want it.

Beautiful new action from @foxydigitalis.bsky.social via our friends at @cyclicdefrost.bsky.social

Gonna talk my 7 year old into seeing Christopher Cross at the Hard Rock Casino in March.

Aurora outside the house. Not as visible to the naked eye with Tulsa light pollution to the north but you could definitely see movement up there.

This restaurant we saw today is called Cuntzers and you can't tell me different.

Me talking to others about my dadbient career 5 years ago.

I remember Halloween

Daughter got in on patch making today.

Been thinking about doing live things on the social media. Go find me if you got an account. www.tiktok.com/@wc_helmets?...

As soon as you give any attention to a video of someone playing the solo to "Sultans of Swing" or the intro to Whitesnake's "Is This Love", variations of that is all you will see in your video feed for weeks.

Updating the board.

"The roads will be bad for parking for the Mudvayne show because The Today Show is taping in the same area" is such a Tulsa thing to say.

I ⬜ ROCK AND ROLL

This band at the Cherokee National Holiday is playing "Fox on the Run," and it's the coolest cover I've ever heard from a band at something like this.

I've had Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark" stuck in my head for days now.

You know, it still would have been a great song, even if was called "Iron Bloke."

RIP Ozzy youtu.be/G3LvhdFEOqs?...

There are many types of Heron upon this planet. Each watching diligently, in their own unique way.

You can be in a band before they got big, and that's cool. But you can also get into a band after they get big. That's cool, too.

Not gonna lie, going to the Sixpence None the Richer show is tempting.

Zinnias kinda took over this year.

Of the many moods of Murry Wilson, horny seems to be the most predominant.

I initiated my thousandth conversation about Brian Wilson when my wife told me one of my favorites was "Help Me, Rhonda". I told her it was a good song, but not a favorite, and that she was mistaking me for Alf.

My wife and I saw Brian Wilson in 2017. Blonde Chaplin was with him so it was a lot of deep 70s cuts on top of the hits and all of Pet Sounds. Wonderful show. Our daughter was born 9 months later and we always blamed Brian Wilson for that. Sail on, Sailor.

The thing about storms I hate the most is as soon as they arrive and I can fully assess what it'll be like around me, I go to bed with a bunch of lightning and 50 mph winds. It's watching the storm for an hour before that drives my anxiety.

I've had "Why Not Me" by The Judds stuck in my head for 2 weeks, and there seems to be no escape.
