In case you couldn't tell, it's Bandcamp Friday again! Even if you don't buy any of my music, support an indie artist or two! But if you do feel like buying my music, you can get my whole catalog for less than the cost of a movie ticket these days. jamessnelling.bandcamp.com/music #bandcampfriday

In case you couldn't tell, it's Bandcamp Friday again! Even if you don't buy any of my music, support an indie artist or two or ten! But if you do feel like it, you can get my whole catalog for less than the cost of a movie ticket these days. jamessnelling.bandcamp.com/music

I've been pondering profusely about light, time, and space lately. It's one of the deeper rabbit holes I've found and I still haven't reached the bottom. It all begins to get strangely paradoxical when you think about Special Relativity and light, but it's also one of my favorite topics.

There's lots of IMPORTANT holidays in October (and maybe one or two that we can do without), but we all know that the most important thing about today is that it's the first day of Halloween (though International Music Day and Random Acts of Poetry Day do sound fun).

I can totally understand the Block Universe theory and presentism (only now exists, not the past or the future), but the Growing Block Universe can sometimes make my brain hurt. And yet, I dig the idea that comes with it that the future is literally unwritten even as the present occurs.

On this day, twenty years ago, the US swore in a new Chief Justice. Twenty years later and we're still swearing about (or cursing) that day, for a myriad of swearable* reasons. *not a real word, I know.

It's Saturday (Caturday, if she has her way)! What are you doing right now? Either way, whether it's good or bad, I've got you covered with the soundtrack! Mosey on over to Bandcamp and search for "Second Responders". It'll get you right on a Caturday*. *Razor Blades got her way.

It's Friday-Eve! If you can, do something for yourself today. 2025 has been a helluva decade, you've earned a little relaxation. Hey, you know what helps encourage relaxation? Some good old indie music! Go and get yourself a copy of "Second Responders". jamessnelling.bandcamp.com/album/second...

On this day in history, we learn that we still have a LONG way to go. In 1957, after years of fighting, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in schools was unconstitutional, leading to a standoff. It's been 68 years and we're STILL dealing with systemic racial inequality in the US.

Happy Tuesday/Crazy People Rapture Day, y'all. Let's talk about how corporate slavery was legalized by the 13th Amendment. With whole groups of society suddenly "criminals", it's important to look at why. We're in the last stage of capitalism where the top are done pretending we have freedom.

Happy Monday, y'all! Let's talk about autocracy. It's happening right now, right here, so let's look at some other times it's happened. I'm glossing over a lot of details so research each of these events. I'm just here to play guitar, give y'all some facts, and send you on your way.

I'm not sure what's coming next week, but my pattern recognition is screaming. They're going to speed up their plans and it'll likely be shocking to us. It's time to focus on community and coordination as we're going to need each other very soon. Be safe, be smart, and take care of each other.

On this day in history, the Kiwis showed us they were WAY more progressive than everyone else. It's a shame that we're in 2025, wondering if we're gonna have any rights next week. Be safe, be shrewd, be strong, and most of all, be good to each other.

Happy Friday-Eve, y'all. Given the current news cycle, I thought it prudent to give us all a refresher/reminder.

On this day in history, we learn that we really haven't learned anything.

I hope y'all have been having a great Tuesday. Mine has been busy, but like the good kinda busy. But being that I've been busy today, y'all will just have to be content with this. You'll get something with more effort tomorrow. Be good to each other.

It's Monday. Admittedly, last week was nuts, but you do realize it is all a distraction, right? 🤔 Since January, nearly everything we've witnessed is engineered to keep us scared, anxious, and misdirected. Don't lose sight of the threads we're meant to keep pulling on, it's all starting to unravel.

Hope y'all have been having a most excellent weekend. Make the best of it... tomorrow is Monday.

Happy Friday, y'all. What a freaking week it has been! I hope y'all have something fun or relaxing planned. I've got a gig on bass tonight, so that should be fun.

All right, y'all... Shit is getting wonky out there, so do me a favor: take care of yourselves and each other. This world is doing its damnedest to divide us when we should be coming together against common enemies. Anyway, happy Friday-Eve. Let's hope we can have at least one normalish day.

Happy Hump Day, y'all! I think it's nuts that a list of grievances from almost 250 years ago seems to directly apply to now, in 2025. Anyway, knowledge is power, and we all need a lot more of that right now. ✊🏼

Happy Tuesday, y'all. I figured that what with everything happening and all the news that came out yesterday, maybe it was time for a refresher course on arguably the most important bit from the Declaration of Independence: the bit that talks about removing a hostile government. Isn't history neat?

Happy Monday, y'all. How was your weekend? Bandcamp Friday was pretty great, once again. Thank you so much to those that made a purchase and supported indie music.

Is it too much? It doesn't feel like it. Anyway, go buy some indie music. In case you weren't aware, it's Bandcamp Friday!!! jamessnelling.bandcamp.com/music

Mark your calendars! Tomorrow is Bandcamp Friday! Please help support indie music! Right now, you can get my whole catalog (2 albums, 2 EPs, and a single) for less than a California coffee run! jamessnelling.bandcamp.com/album/second...

Happy 244th birthday, Los Angeles! Also, tomorrow is BANDCAMP FRIDAY (which means indie artists don't pay any fees), so if you haven't already, why don't you go pick up your copy of my album "Second Responders", available only on Bandcamp? 🤔 jamessnelling.bandcamp.com/album/second...

What are y'all up to this fine Wednesday morning?

I hope everyone's had a lovely Tuesday 🤓 (except fascists... you lot can fuck off).

Happy Labor Day. While so many are unemployed, underemployed, and thousands are being replaced by AI, we should still celebrate the hard work of those that came before us, those working hard right now, and those that will be working hard into the future to fix all the damage being done today.

You're damn right, I've got the blues, just not in the way Buddy's always talking about. #done

Happy Friday, y'all! Got any plans this Labor Day weekend? It seems a little macabre to celebrate labor when so many are struggling, the amount of unemployed folks is higher than the media would have you believe, and the level of blatant wealth inequity in this country is the highest ever.

Come sit around the fire, and I'll tell you a tale of mystery and wonder, introducing you to worlds you never imagined. Well, actually I'm just gonna tell you some useless facts so that your slow progression through the American wasteland is a tiny bit easier.

Happy 105th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. One of these days, we'll realize as a country that allowing women not just to vote, but to lead is the way out of this mess. Go home, patriarchy... you're drunk... with power.

Happy National Park Service Founder's Day, y'all. You might not recognize the significance of the day yet, but you will. @altnps.bsky.social we see you and everything you do! ✊🏼

Did you know? Gather 'round, kids. Let me serenade you with some fun facts (and tasty guitar riffs) about amendments to the Constitution on this fine Sunday morning. #didyouknow

Happy Saturday, y'all! Gosh darn those late night YouTube documentary rabbit holes. I learned a bit about castles, so now so do you 🤓. Maybe after you've geeked out a bit with me, you could go get yourself a copy of my album, "Second Responders", available only on Bandcamp! #funfacts

While the summer music festivals are hopping, please spend a moment with me and expand your mind. I believe that every human being should make a daily effort to learn something new, no matter your age, gender, religion, or social status. Remember, folks: knowledge is power! #funfacts

On this day in history: Happy 121st Birthday, Count Basie, and much MUCH more! #onthisday

Gosh, isn't history neat, y'all? #democracy

Happy Tuesday, y'all. Anyone attending any cool upcoming 24-hour music festivals? I hear they're all the rage right now.

It's Monday. Gigi, my malinois, has a suggestion for what you can do on this Monday. #malinois #music

Happy Friday, y'all! You made it! Look at you go! Be safe and be strong ✊

Not to brag, but I totally nailed it! #thirsttrap

An important message on a Wednesday for all the souls feeling like the world has become antagonistic (you're right, it has). #affirmations

I hope y'all are having an ok Tuesday, all things considered. #fdt

I heard the news today: oh boy. I hope y'all are ready... it's about to get really funky up in DC. #currentevents #news #dc

Happy National S'mores Day, y'all! How are you celebrating? 🤔 Don't forget to get your copy of "Second Responders", available only on Bandcamp. jamessnelling.bandcamp.com/album/second... #didyouknow #august

Rest in peace, Captain Trips! #onthisday #history

Happy Friday, y'all! #onthisday

Did you know, the Block Universe theory is wild, y'all!? The fact that it's one of the more commonly accepted theories of the universe is even wilder! #didyouknow #science #physics #time
