orchiddBB (band that plays music i write with jen sapiro, vivek menon, hans young binter and mario fontes) plays nublu next thursday. playing music that moves in parallel motion and walks a razor's edge/hand-in-hand towards the poison light (or some program note bs that makes my music sound deep)

whole day of absolute dog shit nutrition

public access warped tour 2025?????

yea dude like i only listen to FULL albums TOP TO BOTTOM cause im a real fan of culture. albums bro, really the medium of the moment, nothing like it. i loved being 13. i miss my cds. i miss my ipod. i miss limewire. these kids will never get it. whatdoyoumean.

i genuinely believe in my friends and i think they make good work

silksong loses so much steam leading into act 3. i think i quit.

Experimental post: The Inevitable March of Time From the moment of this post, Super Mario Bros. is now closer to World War II than it is to the present day.

im playing solo at laundromat on saturday and i may just do a "mindfullness session," at the top of my lungs through gritted teeth.

putting a bill together called "opp fest" where i only book people i actively dislike. did you get the invite?

watching artists throw their hands in the air and say "it's not worth it" is so disappointing and honestly kinda baffling. y'all know if they wipe out culture they will win, right?

sick and tired of edgy bullshit and bad satire

exoskeleton returns next week 🐞

clowning is making a comeback in a big way, for better or worse (i do not have an opinion on this, i am simply an observer)

please don't try to talk to me about drum gear, i do not give a shit

orchard 🍎🤦🏼‍♀️

i forgot how to book shows that aren't at laundromat. it seems insurmountably (and increasingly) difficult. especially if you refuse to get ripped off by your local booze dealer.

You're just not going to convince me to take an episode of South Park seriously in 2025

super special show at brothers wash & dry tn: karen dazzler, roblox tycoon, and structure affliction all visiting from across the northeast. +++ the return of 5 Ribbons Ensemble with José Fernando Solares, Selendis Sebastian Alexander Johnson, Mario Fontes & me. this one means a lot to me. plz come.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

posting into the void is liberating

memey shreddy music is a big no thanks from me. sorry. maybe i make this and im a hypocrite.

doing a lot less public music in the next two months cause i am clinically burnt out. next exoskeleton is in september and im not hosting shows in august.

god i love death stranding 2

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

a terrible day all around ngl

orchiddBB with jen sapiro, vivek menon, hans young binter, and mario fontes, friday at freddy's

👎👎👎

im so tired of show posting (when i do it).

i ONLY sub post

fuck the term "bleeding heart." like... oh wow it's so awful that you care about other people.

gig cancelled for "not enough draw last time" feels like the achievement in dark souls 2 that you get for dying for the first time

We're selling stuff? For pride? In 2025???

this is tonight.

very tired of music dudes with a perpetual chip on their shoulder (when it is almost exclusively directed at their peers, and not a systemic frustration)

hello microbloggers dollar-tree.neocities.org/BLOG060725 starting a macroblog on the dollar tree site. it's not accessible from the homepage rn but it will be. please give me feedback. Fuck substack

june 10 at laundromat. i've been a fan of nick's music years and im stoked to see this collaboration with min yoon. selendis is operating on a truly astounding level; she's giving a lecture on german history at this one. little old me opens/hosts.

my biggest pet peeve is passive aggression

a "back to basics" record has never been good. prove me wrong.

june performances. dialing it back (only a little) after this month, so if you ever thought "i want to see orchid perform 11 times in one month" you will have a harder time doing that in july.

radiohead makes bad music

in my pre-2010 british blog rock era. not taking questions. go listen to bloc party's first three albums and then we can talk.

i already abandoned dressing nicely for (most) gigs. now evolving to not showering for gigs. soon i will not show up at all and send a surrogate.

exoskeleton 12 is may 30

vanity post

less riffs, please

There is simply too much cynicism in independent art now

next exoskeleton is may 17. very guitar heavy, so much so it's been dubbed "exoskeleton 11: guitar edition"
