Done!
Yup, definitively a mood booster! Just the kind of nice, heartfelt indie Rock that the doctor ordered, spiced with the slightest bits of experimental ideas to keep you on your toes.
Really well done, @bottlecapmountain.bsky.social!

Highly, highly recommended!

Turns out I enjoy projects splintered off of Frayed Flag as much as I enjoy FF themselves. Gentle, a bit stark, and hopeful. 👍

New track ‘Almost’ from my side solo-project is on #bandcamp now and everywhere else on October 13. Almost pop, almost poetry? (And Almost finding an audience 😬😝)

Luka was the bigger hit, number 3 in the states, hit big worldwide. What’s the Matter Here topped out at number 80 (9 on “Modern Tracks), and was released as a single in 88, even though the record came out in 87.

Suzanne Vega’s Luka and 10,000 Maniacs’ What’s the Matter Here are the Deep Impact and Armageddon of excellent jangle pop songs about child abuse from 1987.

Looks like things are going really well over there at the bad place, judging by the number of “…has added you to a group conversation” email notifications I am getting on some dormant and forgotten account I have there. Dick pills, crypto, smut, AI slop. Bots bots bots. 👍
