A few kinks to work out still, but I've started the process of figuring out how to perform some of the songs from the new album.

I've decided to do a back and forth thing. Re-release an old album. Make a new album. Like when actors do fun artsy shit for themselves between Hollywood blockbusters, lol.
The album still has a charm for me, even if I find it a bit embarrassing these days, though. So, if I can get it sounding even 20% better, I'll be pretty damn happy.
That first album was recorded on a Boss BR-8 using zip disks and shit. You can actively hear me learn about panning halfway through the album, lol. And not to mention how impossible it was to do any real automations with that hardware. EQ and comp? What's that?
I've always been sad that I don't have stems from my very first album. Because, while the album is shitty, it could be slightly less shitty if I could redo the mix today. Trying some stem separation tools and it's...not perfect, but probably enough to fix some of the worst issues! So that's fun!
Just a quick suggestion to follow Gary Taxali. He makes a lot of really cool protest art, in this lovely minimalist style.
For a second, I thought this meant the guy from Twenty One Pilots died...
Simply stellar sign vandalization. Wyoming, circa 2023.
No, a little gold light bulb and a battery did.
New followers (old followers, too)! I am a musician myself, altho I spend a LOT more time promoting other people's music than my own. BUt I make music! Weird electronic blacklight psychedelia! Dub-steeped post industrial wizard synth and visionary ghostwave!

Like...oh, are the search engines having trouble categorizing this? You think?
Love when I get a spam e-mail saying "I was looking through your site, and noticed your SEO isn't optimized..." because that basically just immediately proves that you haven't even looked at my site. Because nothing about my site would indicate that SEO was my fuckin' goal, lol.
Got sick last week but it was actually one of the mildest sicknesses I've had in quite some time. Just the lightest of colds. Didn't even have a sore throat. A nice departure from the various bouts of COVID and flu I've battled in recent years, lol.
Does anyone else remember dialup online gaming on the Super Nintendo with XBand?

Polished alt-rock/pop with a generally stripped-down approach and a deep love of the โ90s.

I'm legitimately so fuckin' bad at telling people about my music, so it's such a nice thing to have folks out there willing to help spread the word about small artists and their new releases. Thanks again!

Tobacco companies managing to convince people to quit smoking by instead transferring over to vapes -- a product that simply allows them to ingest the same addictive nicotine in even more convenient ways and places -- but then actually owning all the big vapes anyways? Honestly hilarious.
I mean, I get what it's for, but just meant that it's kind of striking to actively see it in writing. It's so easy to take for granted how "far away and long ago" certain atrocities seem to be, but then you find out that people have been getting 10% off coupons for being a literal part of history.
Legitimately would have never occurred to me that there were people bringing "Atomic Bomb Survivor's Certificates" to touristy activities in Japan to get a discount.
It's always sad to me when comment sections of an amateur CGI video have shit like, "Ugh, AI, and it's not even good AI." Like, an anti-AI person sees real human art, criticizes it, and inadvertently calls it "not as good as AI." Talk about working against your goals. ๐ญ
this thumbnail pisses me off so much. it does exactly what youd hope people wouldnt do.
lump all of electronic & more produced music in with ai because they dont actually get it, they just fucking want to be reactionary wankers.

It's legitimately so funny that dumbfucks literally bought "Biden did that" stickers to vandalize gas pumps with, but here we are.
If you're talking about our plane, we were on a parallel approach to a different runway.
Log in every day, yeah, but not because an app gave you a fuckin' gold star. Do it because you actually want to sit and improve yourself for 15 minutes and because you actually give a fuck about your goal...not for some bullshit fire animation and some hollow praise from a dumbass cartoon owl.
The one thing you need to know in order for Duolingo to be useful: Fuck streaks.
Too many people log in once a day, do exactly one li'l lesson and then happily pat themselves on the back for "keeping their streak." Fuck a streak. That's just daily engagement metrics for corporate shareholders.
Omaha, NB at night.
Hey grats, man.
Never personally seen two planes following this close.
