There has been some warm reception of this compilation of my solo music from a quarter century ago, you can listen anywhere.

Things have been changing so fast, it’s hard to not feel like you have to keep shifting gears

I’ve basically lost all interest in writing any song lyrics that involve fiction or fantasy. Can still enjoy them, but can’t write them.

Flashlight Faces Flashlight Faces deliver driving roots rock that carries listeners down the haunted byways of our world, with vivid lyrics that evoke the run-down taverns, bowling alleys, and seedy nighttime streets ...

Some of you may not know that I did a couple of album covers for @flashlightfaces.bsky.social. Go give them a spin, they're great!

I do love the psychotic Velvet Sundown lyric β€œmake them pay”

The slacker aesthetic has resulted in lyrics that are so much worse than anyone is willing to admit

Took my Martin D1 (purchased 1999) to the luthier for neck reset and refret, he said the frets are β€œworn down to nothing,” said it’s a β€œguitar that tells a story” πŸ˜”

I continue to, maybe naively, believe in the newness of what I’m doing, but it probably has to do with how I compare it with my own previous songs rather than to anything external

It is pretty sobering when you see hard evidence of how much more excited people can get about cover bands than ones writing new songs.

Full respect for a songwriter who posts *60 seconds* of an unreleased song and the government feels the need to put out a statement on it.

The number of people who have independently compared my voice to Bob Mould’s has passed into β€œstatistically significant”

Check out who's been trending on the Amazing Radio site this week! Featuring: @bekahbossard @flashlightfaces @pelowska_a #newmusic #newmusicalert TikTok video by Amazing Radio UK

I really like Amazing Radio (it isn’t extractive or scammy like so many platforms for independent artists are, and you can actually get broadcast) and now we’re apparently #2 on their UK website, with β€œIn There Somewhere.”

Policy for the new batch of songs I’m working on is, if it doesn’t make me cry, it isn’t good enough
