Hello. Here is “Songs that other people wrote and I heard at some point, then played and recorded at some other point. Vol. 1.” Another offering with another horrible title before your year ends. Available on Bandcamp and all streaming things.

@bhamiltonwastaken.bsky.social at Bottom of the Hill last Sunday, playing “Sunny Day”, from our recent self titled LP. Video by @bpaluzzi.bsky.social.

It just turned into Bandcamp Friday. Bandcamp doesn’t wet their beak on these days. In light of this we present to you an offering. A truce. A live blues. B. Hamilton “Fifty Feet From Where We Normally Are (Live at Sharkbite)” is out now. bhamilton.bandcamp.com/album/fifty-...

B. Hamilton “Fifty Feet From Where We Normally Are (Live at Sharkbite)” is now available on YouTube, and as an EP at midnight. Recorded on February 21st, 2025 at Sharkbite Studios. Jack London Square. Oakland, California.

Thanks for having us @roughtradepub.bsky.social

“Fifty Feet From Where We Normally Are (Live at Sharkbite)” comes out this Friday for viewing on YouTube and listening on all the streaming things.  BlueSky is a goddamn graveyard. Let's get some fourteen year old Russian kids with spicy language and internet access in here.

Spotify asked us to record a 30 second “year in review” clip for our fans, or whoever is listening to us without necessarily enjoying it. Like inadvertently being around a dull breeze, or any form of bird. We made this and they didn’t accept it. I'm going to call the police. #bhamilton #hashtags

“Back in the Line” and “Marion Out West” from our live thing at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland is out on YouTube. All of the tunes from that day will come out as a release before the end of the year. Here is a bit of “Release the Hounds.” Thanks for listening.

“Back in the Line” live at Sharkbite Studios. Jack London Square. Oakland, California. Here is a video and a link to it. We’ll throw the entire session out soon. Stephen Miller is a bitch. youtu.be/VTBgMAfePeU?...

Bay Beats, through the San Francisco Public Library, has graciously decided to accept three of our releases over their past three entry periods. Their new selections are up as of today. This is what music sounds like in a place with weed supermarkets. baybeats.sfpl.org

“Back in the Line” live at Sharkbite Studios. @marcmaron.bsky.social is this solo a Billy Gibbons rip off? We’re divided.

B. Hamilton at Sharkbite Studios in Jack London Square. Oakland, California. “Back in the Line” will come out on Monday, October 6th. “Marion Out West” will come out on Friday, October 11th.

B. Hamilton is opening a Hardly Strictly Bluegrass afterparty for The Mekons this Saturday at The Make Out Room in San Francisco. It is also a benefit for Sweat Relief upon looking at the flyer. Nice. They are very influential and know what John Peel’s vocal mics smelled like.

Tomorrow.

Substack #6: On a Different Day. Great.

Ok. Here is the fifth one of these things. This one is about a song called “Susan” that I’ve played way too many times. I’ll post another one next Sunday around 6pm. I slept in today like I said I was going to last week. Mission accomplished. I have 55 more characters to use. Fuck Curtis Yarvin.

Substack #4: North San Juan

Ryan started a Substack to put stuff he writes somewhere aside from in the trash. Some of the stuff he writes is this sentence you're reading. Ryan is very handsome and the voice of a generation. Each post uses a song of ours as a prompt to write about god knows what. Here is this weeks offering.

@bhamiltonwastaken.bsky.social is playing at the Make Out Room in SF this Friday, August 15th with The Stingray Band (featuring Greg Loiacono of The Mother Hips). Here’s us playing “I’m Honest” at the Kilowatt Bar a few weeks ago. #bhamilton #musicsky #drummersky #drumsky #musicians #livemusic

August 15th, at the make-out room in San Francisco. A city so in debt to psychedelia that they let a company called “pets.com” hobble the largest economy in human history while tourists from far reaches of the globe ate soup out of loaves of bread and stared at an island-prison. Far out, man. ✌️

Hello. I made a graveyard on Substack for all the garbage I've writing and will write. Great. bhamiltonwastaken.substack.com

Apple refuses to recognize the word "Lumineer" because they've repeatedly failed to recognize suspenders as viable clothing to hold up trousers. Shame on you, Apple. Do better.

Were The Lumineers real or did I make them up when I accidently smoked pot in a barn.

I went on @protonicreversal.bsky.social to stutter about the new record for two hours. That clicking sound is either my mic, or me nervously fidgeting with the pocket knife on my Leatherman. Neat.

B. Hamilton – “Release the Hounds” Classic rock, or at least its spirit made sound once again, is alive and well, and songs like this are the proof. bhamilton.bandcamp.com/track/releas... @bhamiltonwastaken.bsky.social www.etherdiver.com/2025/06/20/o... #Rock #ClassicRock #Musicsky

New Music Tuesday! Take a look and listen at these fine musical selections from fellow Bluesky chums @drosophili.ac @bhamiltonwastaken.bsky.social @acefstripe.bsky.social @alisonclancy.bsky.social & @pwats.bsky.social delivering classic rock anthems, proggy kosmische, moody dream pop & more!

Nine slides of bullshit about the song “Downey” from our new record is now on our Instagram page. I’d post it here but BlueSky only allows four photos because people love arbitrary rules. It’s like a weighted blanket, or kenneling yourself. Toodles.

Just rewatched “The Wind that Shakes the Barley” for the first time in a while. Favorite scene is still when Cillian Murphy screams “ITS BARLEY SHAKIN TIME BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY” and mows down a bunch of Buckingham Palace guards with a Gatlin gun. Were playing this show next month. Ok.

Our new record “B. Hamilton” has been out for about two months at this point. This is a post congratulating a bunch of numbers on a data server in Lahore for turning two months old. The GoFundMe for vinyl pre-orders is still kicking. We’ll do a release when we get them back. 🫡

@webuiltthiscity.bsky.social been listening to the podcast since the Chime Oblivion one. It makes my stupid day job less stupid. Just wanted to pass along our new record. Hella. bhamilton.bandcamp.com/album/b-hami...

The GoFundMe to preorder and press our new record "B. Hamilton" is still kickin'. We're about half way there. Head over and grab one. Thanks to all who have preordered one. 🫡 www.gofundme.com/f/buy-a-12-v...

“Release the Hounds.” More on this later. Keep doing cool stuff like hanging out on BlueSky in the meantime.

This is a scrap of something I wrote on Friday and a bunch of videos I took with my telephone throughout the past two years. Very creative. Have a very nice weekend. 👍

Thanks to everybody who has donated to our GoFundMe to preorder our new record and help get it pressed. We’re going to keep it going for an about a month longer. Appreciate the hell out of everybody who has given it a spin, and especially threw some money toward it. SINCERITY.

“On a Different Day” from our new record “B. Hamilton.” www.instagram.com/p/DI9Ie4UJQt...

“Douglas.” Now available on all streaming platforms. Even those we hope will fall apart and turn into the “pets.com” of this era. The other singer on this one is Grace Cooper. Go listen to her music.  There is a GoFundMe in our bio to help get the record pressed. Thanks for listening.

Katy Perry got sent to outer space by Jeff Bezos? You know that rocket was in a cardboard box 400 times its size with a bunch of inflated plastic bags. 😬😬😬🤣🤣🤣😬😬😬🤣🤣🤣 “B. Hamilton” is on Spotify.

Katy Perry went to outer space? What’s out there, singing lessons??? 🤣🤣🤣 “B. Hamilton” is on Apple Music.

Getting the $150 cover tunes together for the boys throughout the week. There is still ample time to have us take on Chuck Berry, Buckcherry, Yucky Cherub, or anything you throw at us. Head to the GoFundMe for the details and to preorder our new record “B. Hamilton.” Thanks for listening.

“Sunny Day” from our new record “B. Hamilton.” Now available on all streaming platforms and vinyl through a GoFundMe. One love, dummies.
