Animated music video for "Wool & Fur" is out now! Really love the visuals that rnotte put with my music for this one. Specifically I think the wolf is freaking awesome. youtu.be/iN3Lr3CLIcU

Find me on TikTok/Reels/Shorts. Follow me on Instagram (but actually email list) Get to know me on threads/bsky. Special treats on YouTube. At least the online way. I’d still like to ride bikes / drink beers/coffees more.

It's crazy what's going on in the federal government right now. Massive massive and completely arbitrary layoffs. Probationary employees are those with less than one year of service (new grads, new hires) who are not yet under the same protections as the rest of feds www.reddit.com/r/fednews/co...

“as the skies darkened, frost grew on earth, he knelt at the table, his wick slowly burnt he raised both his hands and, curled into fists struck at the daylight, the moments that he missed, the food that he savored, the people he’d kissed” iamdavehawkins.com/wool-and-fur

Thinking about DIY embroidering this logo onto some blank hats and making them available as a first attempt at some merch. What do you think would look better, black bird on white hat, white bird on black hat? some other color combo?

"rustling river, sparkling leaves, the sounds that he knew whistling birds, howling wind, the chittering wolves the fungus grew from things he knew, the cracks of breaking wood, his empty flask, his broken ax, his coats of wool and fur" iamdavehawkins.com/wool-and-fur

ugh - I just "won" (won?) a 70/80s era Dictaphone Stereo Cassette Recorder on ebay

“He was an old man, who lived by himself in a old cabin, lost to the south he had no happiness, no family, no wealth he built with his hands and, cared for his health” 🔗2️⃣🐺🪓🎶 iamdavehawkins.com/wool-and-fur

So I got a ps5 for my birthday (in December) my first real console since the ps2 I had in high school. Did flirt with a Switch for a bit to play Zelda during covid. Anyway I’ve lumbered through God of War for the last 2 months and just finished. (incredible, masterpiece, wow @ video games now)

Voice memos (I use TapeIt but whatever) to the rescue again. Today on my bike ride w the kids to school dropoff , both the melodies for the prechorus and CHORUS for a new song hit me while biking. Have had verse for weeks. Then…

dialed in a tone that would make gods weep - and then my three year old turned every knob on all my pedals, amp, and guitar. 🤣🤣🤣 kids, man. metal AF. 🤘🎸

check out www.5calls.org This is probably the best one I've seen. Sets you up with the numbers for each of your reps as well as scripts based on whatever topic you want to call about. Even an anxious person like me who hates (hates) making phone calls can handle this.

just surviving parenting three kids is all i've got rn

my wife is a federal employee and this is just insane, it's blatantly just harassment at this point. She works for the EPA, she protects DRINKING WATER.

In just a few days y’all made “Wool & Fur” my most played song on Bandcamp. thank you. It’s a darker song I wasn’t sure would land at all so I appreciate all of ya who’ve taken a chance on it. hits DSPs Friday (but without the super creepy B-side) 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙🐺 iamdavehawkins.bandcamp.com/album/wool-f...

The diversity and range of @iamdavehawkins.com catalogue is astounding... this one is excellent - dreamy, ethereal vibes that serve the stark text beautifully. And a real curveball of a middle section that sets us up for some proper spine chills as the chorus comes sauntering back. Check it out ->

19 miles of shuttling kids around to their weekend activities today and the car never left the garage. Beautiful day in Denver to make use of our trail and bikeway system.

Phew. Made it. I did dry January.. eh, I’m still chronically tired and had several headaches. Certainly saved some money. Honestly it was net good. I’d do it again. Anyway, cheers. Started feb with a nice bottle of Denver’s Law’s bourbon.

Wow - it feels good to be buying a new vulfpeck vinyl. Definitely been a minute.

New email blast coming out tonight with some stories about going sort of viral(?) on tiktok as well as more info on the production of "Wool & Fur" (out today!) sign up here to not miss it! buttondown.com/iamdavehawkins

whoa dude @iamdavehawkins.com - your new release on bandcamp is wonderful. "wool & fur" is great, darker and creepier than i expected. but the instrumental companion track really brings me to a new place. truly haunting. everybody listen to this! iamdavehawkins.bandcamp.com/album/wool-f...

Last night I had this dream where I wrote a new song and I was so stoked about how hooky the melody in the chorus was. And then *still in the dream* realized it was just note-for-note the melody from "Vampire" by Olivia Rodrigo. Shucks. (also that song is an absolute banger)

And just like that: iamdavehawkins.bandcamp.com/album/wool-f...

new track "Wool & Fur" coming at you tomorrow where the bands camp. Exclusive instrumental B-side "Steel & Ash" also dropping along with it. 'tis winter - and I guess I just realized today this song kinda reminds me of Kratos from God of War. Anyway see ya tomorrow campers. ⛺🎺

New saucy boi from webstauarant dot com. Tri ply aluminum. First meal: Mac and cheese ofc

Quick morning session before the kids are up. Don’t think I made anything I liked. The sleep probably would have been more valuable today. Shrug.

Shout out to the homies following on Bandcamp. You’ll always be the first to hear new releases and have exclusive access to instrumental B-sides. iamdavehawkins.bandcamp.com

they feel like an alien plant to me and I think they’re so cool for that

Over the past week I've had a million views on tiktok, and it's been nothing short of mesmerizing. >7000 new followers there, and it leaked to just about every other platform as well. Thousands of Spotify streams, hundreds of new followers there. Youtube subs up 400+.

“I can see it now” by @mannequinshopband.bsky.social nearly broke me this morning. Had those spine tingles you only get when something really really hits. “Love ain’t a bridge… it won’t get you nowhere dry. Love is the river baby, either carries you off or it runs right by.” nfan.link/tattooep

Here's the aLgOrItHm for Threads Release Radar (likely to be re-branded soon): - Loop over every artist in my list - If they have a song released in the last 14 days - Put it on the playlist No Personalization. No Gatekeeping. No Taylor Swift (sorry babes)

Considering re-reading Developer Hegemony knowing what I now know about AI and how it’s changed my day-to-day as a software developer. The amount that these small 3-5 person teams could produce… I think has become staggering.

Raffi Shuffle improv.. we be jammin, dancin! 💃🕺#belugagrads

Took a chance on a random movie last night (because date night sitter timing and movie theater schedules do not always permit one free choice...) Anyway, 'Flow' was charming and I recommend it (also holy crap entirely made in Blender!!!) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(2...

RIP sauce pan. Lucky I noticed it wiggling loose and this wasn’t a disaster… seeking recommendations for buy-it-for-life quality, induction compatible 3-4 qt sauce pans.

I legit had a dream last night where I used the Transit app to find the RTD bus I needed to take home from some random location in Denver. My brain is weird.

And it's off! Wow 18 months in the making for this one. I'm excited to share it with y'all, definitely a bit slower paced and a bit darker than the last several songs I've put out there.

I’m captivated by the new Ethel Cain album in a way that doesn’t make any sense to me. Just been having it in my ear pods while making dinner and walking and stuff.

Hey just want to shout out @bgreen.lol for making this music threads transplants feed. Actually it seems great - even showing replies much in the same way the beloved threads algo does. This tips it for me I think bsky.app/profile/did:...

Views from the bike trail to the museum today. A bald eagle feasting in City Park, and beautiful Denver. Bonus shot of my oldest being eaten by a dinosaur.

I'll never forget the time somebody blocked me for saying billionaires are bad but failing to specify my thoughts on somebody who has an exact net worth of $999,999,999.99

About a day away from sending another song off to mix! This one's been simmering for a while...I wrote and recorded a demo 18 months ago. Finally picked it back up in November, and since it's very a winter song, I’m feeling the push to get it out now (especially with Denver sitting at a crisp -2°).

In the final step of a plan laid out years ago, social media platforms are deploying "AI creators" as a means to pay out less to, and ultimately replace, humans. Even if this approach only causes a slight shift in consumption patterns, it will translate to huge $$$ for them and their shareholders.
