Still ostensibly looking for a drummer but also pretty much on the cusp of going full Tunnel of Love which is arguably cooler

Percussion day

New favorite trick is using a 12 string acoustic as a fake mandolin

Some days I just want to throw the country through K rack out on the street and go work at a Virgin megastore and never come back

Some quality back to back tweets that will surely help my music career

Some days I just want to go full Conway Twitty

Some days I just want to go full John Reis

Daddies of the Canyon

Still looking for new folks to join the Major Awards Band so if you or someone you know in LA fucks with this kind of Dad Rock get in touch

Drag Queen Alt Country band: Drive-By Tuckers

Really struggling to listen to music these days but I listened to these albums this week

Tried to record some vocals, started off strong by busting my lip on a mic stand, still can't breathe from this bronchitis so I got nothing usable except some tambourine

Computer, make me sound like Tom Petty

Old strings and short scale, oh well, I like my bass tones punchy and warm anyway

I read something once about John Mellencamp making his band learn like 40 covers and I'm thinking about doing that to the guys before we start working on an LP

Geese was invented by the CIA?

I'm the Julius Caesar of not giving a shit anymore, I'm crossing the Rubicon, "the die, it is cast"

Laying down acoustics for the next two singles

Who wants to hear the next MA single?

The best way to check your mixes is definitely anxiously pacing around the room like a tiger in a cage

Silverface Fenders in the back of a Datsun pickup is how we are going to tour

Australian Fugazi is like "you awr not what you awrn"

Ain't that the truth

I want to destroy phone

Going to start working on the next single after I get back, shooting for something more like this

Its got this sort of vibe

Might schedule a single soon

It's good !

The new Courtney Barnett record didn't really move the needle for me but I appreciate that she is this far into her career and still willing to do ugly out of tune things on her records

I need to invest in an analog work flow cause boy do I hate mixing ITB or maybe I just hate mixing

Putting on my mixing hat, feel like I'm about 98% to an acceptable 80%

One of the most "hell yeah, brother!" records ever made

Another day punching in at the comp factory

Alright, maybe a few more comps

I might have keepers on this song or I might delete everything tomorrow, I don't know, schrodingers vocal comps

Man, recording your own vocals is the worst

That new Neurosis record is really topical

Talk to me baby

Major Awards

Call me crazy but I think bands should still try to be like Fugazi

I love a mismatched combo stack

Was Phil Collins in a Noise Rock band?

Who wants to join the Major Awards Shag Band this Summer?

I put this on Facebook marketplace to see what I could get and man the boys are mad horny for this thing, probably about to trade for a TR 707

This is the rhythm by the way

Listening to the 2015 Swervedriver reunion record and being reminded of my argument that Shoegaze (like most genres !!) Is better defined by rhythm than texture

Kind of feeling like a corvette could fit my character

I wrote this song last month on something of a personal challenge, it's about making the best with what you have and being prepared for the worst, voice is still croaky from the head cold everybody has been passing back and forth
