Let’s stop the war on overthinking, we’ve really over-corrected as a species

Is Trash called Rubbish on British Macs?

For British people, the beginning of spring is not meteorological or even cultural—it’s a social, collective phenomenon in which everyone starts wearing shorts regardless of temperature

Can anyone really argue that AI will or will not “take over” one industry or another? How do you know either way? Regardless of what you’d like to happen, how can you be so certain about the future? I’m cool with speculation but there are a lot of self-interested opinions dressed up in prediction

Making an album using all stock Ableton plugins

Sharing a couple memories of Bob Power, one of my most memorable teachers who also happened to work on some of the best albums of all time!

The anti-Valentine’s sentiment is really played out

You know you’re about to be politically guilt tripped when someone stares at the camera for 10 seconds, shakes their head, then sighs before saying a word

There doesn’t seem to be any real genre box for the word “downtempo” which is great until I want a specific version of downtempo

I’m in London fast food restaurant Leon and while the waffle fries do not compete with Chik Fil A they’ve now played Don Blackmon, Leo’s Sunshipp, and Lonnie Liston Smith so I’ll get a loyalty card

On Thelma Houston’s “Don’t Leave Me This Way,” she sings, “Your love is so important to me” which is the kind of honesty we need to bring back to the dance floor

Drank too much coffee today so I’m revisiting a favorite comedown dub techno album from my rave days

This review of A$AP Rocky’s (pretty fun, IMO) album is clunky and befuddling—on one hand, it’s a cold comparison of two, singular peers whose artistry, process, and paces are completely different. On the other it’s a thesis on quality built on a weak Drake diss, “ringing in the ears” of the writer.

British people really be offline on a Sunday

This is a complete sensory and context overload I’m just remembering — hearing the talk box effect I know from Roger Troutman’s 80s funk through a pedal steel (the most beautiful instrument in existence) 20 years earlier all on this uncannily gorgeous stage all during peak space race era

Officially the rarest piece of tech I own: a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter

I just stumbled into Emmylou Harris’s discography and her voice triggers an involuntary emotional reaction in me, actually gives me chills wow

I’ve never wanted to be the best I don’t believe there is a best I think wanting to be the best is a constriction of possibility

¡ Today’s Album ! Voices From The Lake - II (2025) My dream rave is a < 120 BPM journey through hypnotic atmospheres, propelled by soft kicks and organic polyrhythms, cushioned by deep, body-engulfing bass. II is precisely that trip, steering carefully down the road between meditation and dance

We’re really in the Lo-Fi Mumble Pop era

eBay should have comments under listings so you can praise rare gems like this “Bob Peak” style Star Trek poster I’m about to buy

30 more albums I listened to in 2025, including: Madeline Kenney (through-composed depth) Rosalía (grandiose high pop art) Gelli Haha (ebullient world building) Cécile McLorin Salvant (genre hopping virtuosity) Pino Palladino & Blake Mills (textural excellence) Flock of Dimes (surgical lyricism)

My god I just realized that FM synths give me the same feeling that people get from ASMR

Live as an artist — not as someone trying to live as an artist

Smooth jazz playing at a local coffee establishment awakens in me latent sensations of Middle American auto mechanic lobbies, doctor’s offices, hourly Weather Channel forecasts, night drives under vapor lamps. Immediate “hypnagogic” transportation, much more than the fragmented genres so named

This year, stop watching and start dancing

The water consumption of ChatGPT is hopefully offset by the infrequent bathing of its basement dwelling power users

Made the mistake of listening to K Pop Demon Hunters now Apple Music is only suggesting me Netflix OSTs and weird electronic pop

About to get 30% off on 100% of things I’d never otherwise buy

Cold wave Heat snap

It’s not my favorite Stevie album (I love FFF and Innervisions more) BUT if I ever want to feel pure musical joy, Songs In The Key of Life is a reliable jolt of passion

I don’t think AI bots should be allowed to use the personal pronoun “I”

Aye bro don’t be lookin at me with them Meta shades on

¡ Today’s Album ! Niall Ashley - Subject Access EP (2025) Glitchy pop though the longing is organic, with a breadth of influences from mournful flamenco to skittering DnB. I love the digital multidisciplinary world-building but selfishly love the vocals on the less pixelated songs

When you’re indie and underground you can’t afford for your music to be too simple, then when you’re famous and mainstream you can’t afford for it to be too complex

If you don’t believe climate change is real, look no further than the September Christmas displays in your local Walgreens

Every independent artist is promoting their music so I’m going to stand out by not

Shame on everyone who didn’t remind me that Rob Thomas - Lonely No More is an absolutely perfect pop production

I’m millennial enough to admit that what’s now called “cringe” was always a quality I felt I needed to overcome rather than to avoid, and I guess the tide is turning with younger folks who realize how self-limiting self-consciousness can be in a creative economy

My show is continuous solo playback so I try to plan for every imaginable failure—CPU overload, IEM cutouts, missed cues—and it’s always something totally stupid like leaving the tuner on or forgetting a lyric

I’m playing Norfolk VA this Fri 8/1 and it’ll be my 1st show in my hometown in a loooong time. Like, 2007 long. Better believe I will channel every ounce of Virginia pride into this one—a solo set of dystopian pop & escape pod funk originals Supporting local artists Bennett Wales / 95Leo!

¿ We’re calling AI music “Bot Pop” right ?

I thought Tate McRae and Addison Rae were the same person until today

¡ Fans of indie music in Hampton Roads aka The 757 ! I’m playing a (very slick, very solo) homecoming live show at The Annex in Norfolk on August 1st 🌊 Supporting local VA artists Bennett Wales and 95Leo, so if you dig spacey alt-pop and agree to wear orange, do teleport over! 🖖🏽

THE best = YOUR favorite

Being a childfree artist doesn’t mean I’m less sleep deprived, just means instead of a crying baby, I hear my own thoughts screaming at 3AM
